Two years running, a lot has changed.
Remember when we used to put what post we were at the bottom of the post we just posted?
Like so.

You and your fancy rules. The magic robot who writes the headers of everyone's posts does it for us now. I paid him ten bucks to do it. He comes cheap.

You kids and your newfangled technobabble. I don't need no robuts doing my job for me!
Harumph!
Back in my dad we had to march barefoot, uphill both ways in the snow and then fight in glorious battle just to get the numbers to put on the sign so that we could mark our post count in this thread!
No respect you lot.

Quiet down now and take your anti-rambling pills now, Grampa Krushchev.
Your name reminds me of a story...
Today in Literature Class, we were reading "A Doll's House." I was forced to read a character named Krugstad because of my past drama experience. So, I hear the guys name and think "Well now, he must be Russian." So it came time for me to read and I do my best Soviet accent. The teacher yells at me, I go back to my normal voice and slowly slip into the accent. As the climax of the scene approaches, the accent gets stronger. I begin throwing in random Soviet Union refrences in (instead of "sir," I said "comrade", so on and so forth). The teacher gets pissed and sends me out of the room. I stand up, stand in front of the door and simply say, "Not one step back, Comrades. FOR THE MOTHERLAND!" and march out of her classroom.
FYI; The teacher is a horrible teacher who is only still there because she has tenure. We've talked to the administration multiple times but they can't do anything either. She just sits behind her desk, hands out paperwork and tells us to read the book. We all hate her.

Sounds like you need to organise a Red October in that class. . .

Reporting for the Red October comrade! I love making Russian babble (Russiobabble?)...
We will march in Berlin and tear out the heart of Germany! Not one Nazi shall be left standing!We shall raise our flag in the heart of the Reich and crush the spirit of the German people once and for all comrades!
I feel better.

My friend is a soviet union history fan so I asked if I can borrow his full soviet uniform one of these days. Probably not since it's authentic and what-not. Maybe I should just wear a t-shirt with the hammer and sickle on it.

I'm a soviet history fan as well, and although I do not have a full soviet uniform, I do have a soviet helmet dug from a pit in Afghanistan.
Its my pride and joy.

Anyways, I might as well double post while I say this sicne this thread is all about spamming. I'm trying to learn 4, count 'em, 4 instruments at the same time without the help of anyone. Do it yourself books are allowed for chords and such but I'm letting my strumming technique just develop on its own.
1-Guitar, so far so good... I've pretty much just been going through my i-pod and playing the easy guitar parts of the songs I like. I've got "Big Rock Candy Mountains" from "O, brother, where art though" down melodically, just working on the chords now.
2- Banjo, going okayish. The only banjo music I have on my i-pod is really fast and is hard to keep up with, but a few songs by the Soggy Bottom Boys I can kinda slightly play a similar tune on the banjo.
3-Mandolin, um...Tried it and found that I like the banjo and guitar better, but I have t stick with it
4- Fiddle, haven't figured out how to even make a noise out of it that doesn't sound like I'm strangling my cat. My dog tried to commit suicide after my last attempt.
