We need some quality threads from the long time core contributors...
i want to see some the following: Letters to Things and People- seriously some of the most introspective posts of what the soul strut core is all about Some Cosmo Stories- top notch. Some Ako beats Or a general dope beats thread with beats from B-Sides, Phill Most Chilla, MALLARD, Paul Nice, Lil Jakey Ironfeet push up thread
I'm gonna go get a haircut today and then see if anna,cas, and rootless wanna grab dinner tonight.
This weekend I think I might go to the zoo again and try to take some more Ape pictures, but this time using HDR because if I expose for the monkey then the background is washed out, and if I expose for the background then the monkeys are too dark. especially around the eyes because of the simian brow. so i might try a subtle hdr to bring out the features but keep the background in check. also i know that there is a difference between chimps and bonobos and gorillas and monkeys, but its so much easier to call them all monkeys, and also i like the word monkey more than ape. ape sounds demeaning or something.
also, I notice that people now say rainforest instead of jungle. like jungle is to rainforest as oriental is to asian. but i like the word jungle. rainforest sounds so hippy. also, who wants to say they live in the 'concrete rainforest'?
to me, forests have pine trees, jungles have vines. lots of forests get rain, not just rainforests. its like calling the desert a "sand pasture". which, come to think of it, is actually kind of funny.
animals that can kiss my ass: pandas (still) hyenas crocodiles and aligators killer bees wasps pirhanas sharks jellyfish skunks
animals currently getting props: Cuckoos (look up cuckoos and "egg swapping" its the ballsiest, funniest shit I've seen an animal do in a long time. its fucking funny, i promise!) St. Kitts Monkeys (they are generational alcoholics, look that one up too) Gorillas Bearcats the one with zebra legs (otapi? potaki? okapi?)
animals that are on the fence: elephants (they are cool, but they're getting pretty pissed lately and kill 5 people a week in bengal, not cool) Lemurs - in fact - most madagascar animals (you guys freak me out. you're weird) penguins emus bats dinosaurs
rachel ray, please take your face off of my box of wheat thins. seriously.
While I could definitely do with fewer threads in general, I know that the strut goes through phases. Every four months or so, like clockwork, someone starts a 'state of the strut' thread. Navel gazing ensues and in a week or two the tone of the board changes. It's just the way it goes.
Also, since goofy NRR posts are such a part of the strut, I'm loathe to be too free with the delete button. I'd rather goofs and the inane posts get censured by the board big dudes.
I'm at the San Diego airport right now (shout out to Anna, Cas, Rootless Cosmo and Philly Phill - whose SS name I forgot) but when I get my motherfucking shit off I'm going to murder this board within the next few weeks.
So you're saying that the board has fallen off since you arrived?
Amazing coincidence...
you need to chill out.
seriously.
All youre doing is wasting space posting shit against me.
Lovely.
Now you not only get to decide whether or not the board as a whole is "pretty wack," but are also the arbiter of whose posts, specifically, are just "wasting space"?
Wack compared to what? You havent been on the board that long. Did you find it to be that much better 6 weeks ago? Maybe you've lurked for years. I dunno. I think you'd have to be around longer & contribute more to be able to make this kind of statement.

don't go there, girlfriend. Many men little dudes; particularly crusaders for Project Blowed, Y'all So Stupid, and Shawnna, have died a thousand deaths or driven themselves crazy trying break Mr. Hatt in the Flesh aka Faux_Rillz Esquire.

I aint mad. Im just tired of talking about me. The reason I said "Im thinking its getting pretty wack" bacause I came in and dudes are all talkin about me.
I came to talk and music ish, but i get threads that goes to 12 pages with me as the subject.
Cant you simply start a music thread? Ask a question?

Now go buy my CD.
i don't know how many pages back that sombre hip hop piano intro thread is but i'd like to add my two cents
show&ag's full scale
MOP's born2kill
i agree with the ebb and flow theory, but i do think it's important for someone to say WTF now and then, too.
