If it helps, Papi dislikes me for the truckloads of money Korea gets from me mass buying their stationery and plastic crap. The very reason North Korea probably has money for nukes and military technology is probably because of the nonstop stream of money they get from... me.

How did you figure out that I don't like doreans?

I'm remembering you said something to that effect on Meurglys' forum.

You're smarter than you look.

That would probably be my downfall, as well. Just like, Arikus, I also took advantage of learning funny/dirty things in spanish. "meet you" is that gesture when you flick your hand under your chin, like saying "F-U"? or is that a different type of SL?

That's everybody's favorite thing to learn.

That sign means "so what" in SL (just 1 flick of the hand though).

I had two courses in Spanish in high school but can't speak much now. I have a Cuban friend that is supposed to help me refresh but I never seem to make time.

Why do you have to have such a large pic in your signature? Is that you? I find it annoying (not that it's you, just that it is so large and scrolls across my screen so many times in every thread). I am usually on a 24" monitor so it's a fair size pic.

Oh, I've been meaning to take care of that for some time. I don't want to remove it in it's entirety (I'm very concerned with deleting anything anyone posts here, as I find that to tread on freedom of expression), but I will resize it and crop it a little bit. It'll get done by the end of today, don't you worry. Thank you for reminding me: I had just grown accustomed to it.

Ah, I'll do it right now, then.

Did you see Jackie Evancho on America's Got Talent last week? I just finished watching it today, and..........she pretty much has this competition in a bag. I like the song she was singing "time to say goodbye", although, no one can sing it better than Andrea Bocelli.

[StarFireSong]

MKing: Yes, I did. I thought it was a nice version; a little too much for her light, delicate voice right now cuz she didn't quite pull it off. I have a few favorites (I've been rooting for Michael Grimm since I heard his audition), so I don't know who I'd want to win this season more. I hope both get into the final 3 though. I'm kinda hoping Jackie will sing "Nella Fantasia" sometime during the competition, cuz that's one of my favorites in her genre.

I've never heard Andrea Bocelli sing "Time to Say Goodbye", so I can't comment on his version. I DO love both Sarah Brightman's & Katherine Jenkins's versions of the song. They're quite lovely.

(Just tuned into tonight's show, & she sang "Pie Jesu" at the very end. OTHERWORLDLY performance! Brought me to tears.)

For the first time, I've finally watched the show live (I kinda DVR EVERYTHING ), It was a really tough show tonight, everybody was extremely good. My favorites are Michael the magician, since I am a kid at heart.......so I love magic, or anything related to that nature. Fighting Gravity are cool, I can see myself buying a ticket to their show, I also like Jackie, and Poppycock with his outlandish wardrobe and stage set-ups. I think Sharon hit the nail on the head about Jackie performance.....Heaven......Heavenly, its her competition to lose.

I've have never heard Nella Fantasia. That genre of music is not really my thing, however, there are a few songs I like and wouldn't mind adding to my Ipod (if not already on there)..........

[StarFireSong]

MKing, I agree with Sharon's assessment, but I didn't want to use her word, lol. I caught the ending of Prince Poppycock's act, & I'm sad to say that I really can't see what everyone else sees in him. (Yes, feel free to throw tomatoes at me, lol.) Magicians... They're okay. I like David Blaine & Criss Angel a lot, but not so much of the others. I think Fighting Gravity is a bit too gimmicky, which is perfect for Vegas, but I don't see them selling out arenas or something. (Sorry if I come across rude, lol.) But Michael Grimm... WOW. I love his sound! I'd definitely buy tickets to see both him & Jackie though.

Lara's version of "Caruso" is STUNNING! I've only heard Josh Groban's version up until this point, lol. I've heard Andrea Bocelli singing different snippets of songs, but for some reason, his voice doesn't grab me like some other singers do. Go figure.

"Nella Fantasia"... My favorite version at the moment is Celtic Woman's. Beautiful.



Since we're on the topic, have you heard Katherine Jenkins's version of "I Will Always Love You" in Italian?

[MKing]

Hahaha Prince Poppycock's act is not for everyone, He is the kind of performer were people will either love it, or hate it, but there will be no in-between /on the fence feelings when judging him. Magicians are amazing, especially the great ones......I hated how Howie was begging Micheal to reveal his secret trick to him...ugh...annoying.....just sit back, and enjoy the show like the rest of us. Criss Angel is pretty amazing, his show in Vegas (Believe) got some great reviews. I wouldn't mind going to see that, either. I didn't really pay any attention to Micheal Grimm, the two young boys, or Precious's mother.....It's hard to watch the singers on the show with the exception of the opera singers. It seem like to me the variety acts stand out a bit more.

I LOVE Lara's version of Caruso. She poured her heart out in that performance and that's something I look for in singers, a ballad has to feel real/honest/vulnerable, or I am not really going to be into it. Ray Charles is one of my favorite singers, and almost every song that he sung gets to me like no other artist.

I never heard of Katherine Jenkins......she's gorgeous.....and ......and she can sing on top of that LOL. Sarah Brightman, will always be the queen of that genre, IMO she could sing the phone book and make it sound good. As far as the Celtic Woman goes, I've heard maybe 2 or 3 songs, I like Someday (in fact, I think Jackie should try that song, it would be a risk), I can't remember what movie I heard that song from, tho.

Anyhow, this is one of my favorite Ray Charles songs, you can literally hear his soul coming through.

[StarFireSong]

LOL, that's for sure! I'm still in the middle between the love/hate line, & only because I don't get his act. He's...okay, I guess? Lol. All the magicians look up to Houdini, y'know? (& rightly so; he was amazing when he was alive.) Howie did that?! OMG. It's like a cardinal rule that no magician (or the assistants) can reveal how they did a trick. I like watching both Criss's & David's specials when they air on A&E, especially when they're just walking around town & doing tricks right on the sidewalk. The reactions make me laugh until I cry sometimes.

You're a Ray Charles boy? Ooh, I can totally see why. He was a musical genius. Have you heard any of Al Jarreau's stuff? I was practically raised on his "Heaven and Earth" tape, lol! We played that one all the time in the car until we nearly wore it out.





LOL! Yes, she can SING! I like Sarah Brightman's way of mixing different influences into her music ("Harem" is a good example) & making it sound so fantastic. She reminds me of a cat sometimes, though. In a good way, hahah. "Someday" is a good song, & I like how Chloe sounds in it. I think it's from the "Hunchback of Notre Dame" soundtrack? Not sure; I'll have to find out, lol.

[MKing]

I am a Ray Charles boy LOL. Genius....pure Genius.

Al Jarreau, Huh? I remember him, that's old school, as well. Whatever happened to him?

I too, like Sarah Brightman, I believe she's known for being one of the few opera singers that crossed over to different genres, right? Something about her is very intriguing, and dark, and sexy, just all around mysterious.

There is a song that I have on a old CD of random songs, and I don't know who the artist is, or the title of the song......I am going to upload it soon (to your PM), I was wondering if you could help me out since you are a bit more familiar with Celtic Woman, and all those kind of artists.

We should probably take our conversation over to The Music Thread (if we have one).

[Argent Fang]

I don't think we have one yet, so the duty falls upon you, my good man, to make it.


Staying with the theme of this thread, this question goes out to anyone who wants to answer.

Have you or have you ever considered trying a tabletop RPG? (Dungeons and Dragons, RIFTS, Champions, Pathfinder, World of Darkness, etc.)

[StarFireSong]

Not sure what happened to Al Jarreau. I just googled him & got his official website though. Seems he's still touring & recording & stuff.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think you're right that Sarah led the pack with the crossover stuff. I agree. There's something so fascinating about her.

Sure! I'll keep an eye out for your PM & see if I can help you with that song.


Argent: I haven't played any of the games you mentioned. The only remotely RP-ing game I've played is Fate, but it's a computer game, so... [/unhelpful answer ]

[Dr. ARM]

I tried getting into Dungeons and Dragons, but it was hard to be serious with only two people, consisting of my best friend at the time and myself. I would like to properly attend a session, though.

As for Champions, I'm trying out the demo for their MMORPG. It's pretty incredible save for the fact that they charge cash to buy new costume pieces on top of making you pay to play. Aside from that, I'm hesitant to leap in until I can be assured it'll either match or rise above City of Heroes, the last pay game of the same genre I really got into (Ironically, they're both made by Cryptic).

[MKing]

OK, I'll make it happen.

Ummmm I would love to play City of Heroes, or Champion, in fact, I am waiting for the new DC Universe game to come out.....I can't really get into RPG games, but that will be the first RPG game that I'll play (if its an actual RPG game). But no, I haven't play any of those games.

I love the idea of one but have never played it. I was intensely interested in trying D&D for a long time but couldn't find anyone to teach me and step me through it. I recently got an invitation by a group to play Call of Cthulu, but it never happened.

I've played a pile of MMORPGs if they count (Ragnarok Online, Perfect World, the WoW free trial, Ultima Online, Guild Wars, Aion, Trickster Online, Runescape, etc etc). The only two MMORPGs I really, really loved were Ultima Online and Ragnarok. I don't play UO anymore because it's just dead and gone and never coming back, and Ragnarok private servers suck shit, so I'm not playing again until I can host my own server. I can't believe Ragnarok is eight years old now and I'm still as enamored with it now as I was six years ago.

Question for the boys:

I was looking up aphrodisiacs and apparently Lavender, Pumpkin Pie and Cinnamon are the biggest aphrodisiacs for men (even cheese pizza was on there, but I'm hardly surprised). What's your favorite scent (or none at all is okay, since I'm talking about perfume)?

I'm not the best to answer this since my sense of smell is rubbish, but I love the smell of Vanilla Extract and Cinnamon; they're both very calm and inviting scents. Flowery scents can be nice, but I often find that they give me a headache because they use too much.

Perfumes? I'm not a fan of too many...flowers make me think old lady as does anything too dainty. I actually prefer little or no perfume on a woman myself. I'm not much of a cologne wearer either although I have owned a number of different ones.

[mi-cuit]

I love the smell of vetiver on myself (and everyone else really, at least hypothetically. I've never met anyone who wears a straight-up vetiver). Tuberose on the ladies. yum yum.
