I thought I'd been drunk-posting again when I saw this thread bumped this morning. The relief was palpable.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

The time between entering a Nando's and then doing a horribly relieving shit is always pretty minimal.
Rereading this thread. I didn’t get this then, but we. Have a Nando’s near us now and...yep.

Fuck you Medulla for making me listen to that piece of crap!
The awful question is, tho, whether it's worse than that Hestship abomination.
A resounding yes from me. It's simply plain awful. Far be it for me to heap any praise on WBTCORNR but it has a certain kitschness to it.
Yeah, the pretentiousness of "Mr. Roboto" might make it worse.
That's what I was thinking. And then I thought "well, Jefferson Airplane was once a great band. And Styx always sucked." So does that make it better or worse?

The avenues of inquiry for determining which is more wretched are seemingly limitless!

But which is which? It's all so confusing. When is bad shit better than bad shit?

I think Heston and Hoy are the board experts on that.

Something belched up from my memory gut:


A Canadian hit back in the mid-80s, cut from the same shitty cloth as WBTC, so maybe the shittiest Canadian song of the 80s. Maybe.

Not so quick. We can't conclusively rule it out.

Just one glass of wine with my pastrami supper. Not even enough to get me to the KISS thread.

The spermicide really is an interesting seasoning, eh?
