Please note that by voting for a respective choice, you are not only saying that it is stupid, but it is one of your favorite stupid things. Therefor, consider carefully before you hastily cast your vote, fair semi-fellow Proggers. 25 choices lay before thee glazen over, swollen, beady screen-burned eyes.

First of all, what is this private Pike business you're on about, anyway, Lazland?
And what should I not tell them? Next, Dean, that is the weirdest painting I have ever seen, and don't know what it's meant to represent. Whatever it is, however, I'm sure is inappropriate. To the Man with the Hat, kudos. Biting drills is the stupidest thing anybody's said here yet, aside from Cyber-narcissism. If anybody is wondering why I didn't quote, it would be because I am on my phone. That is all.

For derogatory comments against Europe, please quote and reply to the rest of this post after the line of tildes (~). Achem.................***** If I, eh, MAY, say something, yes? WHY DO YOU THINK EUROPE IS STUPID?!?!?! Of course, it was I who placed their name on my Poll-- So any votes I get can only be my fault... You do know Europe is a band, RIGHT? What do you have against them? Do you have things against Pop Metal in general? Of course, the only reason I haven't totally exploded is because, you should know, that by voting for them, you not only said they were stupid, but that they are stupid, and you like it. Which is like saying "Whoever decided to create Europe is stupid-- but it's STUPID GENIUS! But it is kinda dumb that Joey Tempest sings so high." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DISCLAIMER: IMPORTANT: *****NEVER SPEAK DIRTY ABOUT THE EUROPE. THE EUROPE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A MASTERWORK OF POP METAL CRAFTSMANSHIP. SPEAKING DIRTY ABOUT EUROPE MAY INCLUDE: CRACKING DOWN ON THEIR SOMETIMES UNUSUALLY HIGH LEAD VOCALIST, JOEY TEMPEST; SAYING THEY ARE NOT METAL (AT LEAST IN SOME TWISTED POPULAR FORM); SAYING JOHN NORUM IS NOT A GOOD GUITARIST; OR JUST DEROGATORY COMMENTS IN GENERAL ABOUT EUROPE AND THE QUALITY OF THEIR MUSIC. IF, BY CHANCE, YOU DO HAPPEN TO GO INTO ONE OF ABOVE TERRITORIES WITHOUT SINISTER INTENTIONS, SIMPLY ISSUE THE STATEMENT "EUROPE IS POP-METAL, BUT I DO NOT LIKE THEM." SHOULD YOU FAIL TO ISSUE THIS STATEMENT BY A MOST EXTENDED PERIOD OF ABOUT 3 HOURS, BE AWARE YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF CAPABILITY WITHIN A FORUM WITHOUT ACTUALLY INVOLVING THE GOVERNMENT. CONSEQUENCES MAY INCLUDE: ANOTHER POST OF SIMILAR PROPORTIONS TO THIS ONE; DEROGATORY REMARKS MADE AGAINST ANY NUMBER OF NON-PROG BANDS FAVORED BY THE DIRTY-SPEAKER IN QUESTION; A THREAD DEVOTED SPECIFICALLY TO THE POSSIBLE RESULTING FLAME WAR; AND/OR A SIMPLE RESTATEMENT OF FACT: EUROPE'S FINAL COUNTDOWN IS MASTERFUL POP METAL. Begin Form For Derogatory Comments Against Europe: Should you choose to embark upon the unfortunately thorny trail of comments against Europe, please choose one or more of the following degrees to make totally dismissing and/or refuting your comment easier to manage and maintain. Keep in mind however, that choosing more than one degree may result in a longer dismissal/refuting and may cause more bands of your respective favor to become be-littled. Degrees of Derogatory Comments Against Europe: 1. They Aren't My Thing, But I Could See Liking Them 2. I Can't Stand Them, But I'm Glad You Found Something You Like 3. Europe Is Noise 4. Europe Cannot Play 5. Europe Is Not Metal 6. Everything About Europe Is Bad: From Their Guitarist, To Their Lead Singer, To Their Drummer 7. Europe Is Not A Band, But Simply A Group Of Delusional Swedish People That Decided They Would Try To Make Music, But Failed, While Still Becoming Popular, Because Lets Face It, Pop Music Is Not Music, It's FAILED ATTEMPTS AT PROG. Also, please state your reason in the blank for making these unduly atrocious comments about Europe: [Some suggestions include, but are not limited to: To see what would happen, To offend StaaViinsZ, Just because I hate them, because they are not and never will be any form of Metal, or because you simply have a problem with hating on Non-Prog bands] __________________________________________ Also, In the following 3 blanks, please provide your Forum Name, A Mixed version of letters from your real name and the letters of the name of your favorite Prog album, and a entirely unnecessary series of letters and numbers mixed together totally a maximum of 20 characters.

Please return this form to StaaViinsZ as soon as possible for quick and speedy processing. Please read over, if you have not already done so, the disclaimer which appears before this form, to review the possible consequences of doing so. Please also note that any forms submitted with positive comments on Europe may be met with either increased suspicion or friendly speak and increased kindness toward your person. The latter is especially likely if you are a girl under 30 years of age, although it is likely even if you did not fill out this form, in fact, that would pretty much be normal if you are a girl under 30 years of age. If you are a girl (un-married) under 30 years of age, I apologize for bothering you with this post and hope that this doesn't mean we can't be friends. If you are a married woman, preferably under 30, but not necessarily, then I hope this doesn't mean we can't be JUST FRIENDS, and you can give me advice. Heh, anyway, I'm rambling, so, uh, yeah, just turn this form in as fast as possible for processing. Later. Provided by the OEDC (Official Europe Derogatory Comments) Board.

Don't intend to offend anyone or make anyone feel bad-- however, beware, if you knock Europe, be prepared for a battle. I must admit, I didn't quite plan for that post to go THAT far, though. I just got started of that form, and found it pretty fun, so I just kept writing it, lol.
Normally, I wouldn't go that crazy. But if you knock the Europe, what I do is out of my hands. But seriously though, it's all meant in good nature. I don't want to make any feel bad or hurt anyone's feelings, that's not what I meant at all. I just like to have fun and defend a band, which, in all honesty, is, in my opinion, one of the greatest of all time. If I hurt anyone, though, I am deeply sorry, for it was meant to be taken light-heartedly, not to bring someone down.
Not even gonna ask what this means, but I am fine with moving this to there.
Hey, don't knock the Power Rangers. They're almost as cool as Europe. Almost. Ha, not quite though.
Are you implying that what I post is ridiculous? Well, perhaps at times, yes.
Really, that's all anyone had to say. Thank you Dean. You are a kind person.
I take it you are sarcastically stating that I am way older than whatever age he is? Any other band, I wouldn't bother-- but never knock the band that got me into music-- that said, I do it because I want to, because it's kind of fun-- if it's going to make someone sad or cry then I obviously do not want to. Anyway, in good nature, I state, be prepared if thou doest knock, THE EUROPE!

Well almost everything you post centres around you - even the topics you create, which probably is why people made the 'cyber-narcissism' comment earlier on. You go to great lengths extrapolating a certain image for yourself instead of talking to us mere mortal folks in a manner that purports genuine interest in being here....together with the rest of us. Oh and another thing: one of the first things you posted about was the general age and supposedly uninformed nature of the people in the "fave non-prog artists" poll. Instead of keeping away from a poll where you have nothing intelligent to add, you commence your PA infancy by making fun of people with more "matured" tastes than yourself. I know you said that all of this is made in good fun, and maybe it is, but it'd be nice to get to know you a little before you pour your nappie content in our ears.
