POLL: Who is the most metal "fogey" on the forum?
« on: July 19, 2013, 09:53:16 AM »
Okay, well, it's not actually a "poll."  Just list who you think it is.  Which of the DTF oldsters best epitomizes metal mayhem, in your humble opinions?

I say Jaq.  The musical tastes and the "knocked it out of the ballpark" stories.  It's like reading a hard rock / heavy metal band member's autobiography.

When I think of Jaq, I think of Del Preston. :biggrin: :lol

Lonestar. He reminds me of Mikey from the Life cereal commercials when it comes to metal ...

I ain't listening to it, you listen to it!
I ain't listening to it, YOU listen to it!
Give it to lonestar!  He'll listen to anything.

Jaq hands down for the amount of grey matter he has managed to retain to be able to tell the stories he has. I don't remember shit.
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Can't see the image, so you are nonmetal by default.

I think the fogeys in question should post their respective music tastes, so I can properly judge them.

what the hell.

As someone who knows an autistic person I can not condone anyone using a mental disorder as a swearing word. That's hugely unsympathetic and using it in this statement is also very disrespectful towards members of this forum. What's wrong with you?

Podaar has been a nice addition to the ranks.

I feel JJ deserves a mention as well! Bart too!
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I actually went to see Celtic Frost in 1987. For whatever reason, they didn't perform, so we got an impromptu headline show by the openers, Flotsam & Jetsam. The Doomsday tour at that!

:lol  No.  For who to name this guy after.  :jingleboy:  Problem is, a lot of the people named already have emoticons named after them.  For the few who don't, it was a close race.  Chad was close enough to the top that his whining for the past couple of years about not having one named after him put him over the top.
