Its ok..I didnt. The Cretin 'status' is still 16,000. A couple of lesser 'titles' got tweaked a bit and as you can see, yourself, Pdog and Joey now have your own little group. |

i am indeed honored. however, may i suggest replacing "i have no life" with any of the following:
"chick magnet"
"Rocks Off Intelligensia"
"Hired Goons"
"I Have a Life"
and for joey:
"Pom Pom Girl"

You joined Dec 2004. I did the math: to get to 65535, you would have to post about 56 messages per day... |

The Police are nearing the 400 million mark, and with the many add-ons, may have jeopardized our current 447 million gross. With the twenty-seven(27) Euro-dates(no add ons, as demand is limited except in markets like Slane and Isle of Wright, which always sell-out) we will hit around 515 million, which may keep us safe from the Cops, but will fall with next U2 tour.
As far as the US, they definitely "jumped the shark" last tour, with major east coast stadiums being only 1/2 filled...No one can tell me that 30k in Chicago was not a huge embarrassment. Same for Boston and NYC when compared to prior stadium attendance. West Coast stadiums also were under filled. The only remaining option is smaller arenas(8-12k) with increased ticket prices to off-set limited attendance. Realistically, can be done at an averaqe cost of $190 per ticket, with special offers , such as "meet and greet" as follows:
1)meet with Lisa, Bernard and Blondie(includes laminate name tag, t-shirt, poster, and 1 bar drink-$500
2)meet with Tim Ries(also includes laminate name tag, ticket to Tim Ries Project, poster, t-shirt, photo with Mr. Ries and 2 drink vouchers-$800
3)meet with Bobby Keyes(laminate name tag included, t-shirt, poster, photo with Bobby, Bobby demonstrating sax solo in Brown Sugar-$1000
4)meet with Michael Cohl(laminate name tag, t-shirt, poster, photo with Mr. Cohl, and a brief discussion of the business aspects of touring, Canadian Lager, and filling up venues)-$1500
5) meet with Shirley Watts(includes all of the above, plus a discussion of the business of horse breading)-$2000
6)meet with the band(includes all of the above, as well as picnic box snack with choice of Italian Sub or Fresh fruit platter)-$10,0000
While they obviously will vary from my above suggestions, something along those lines would help to differ the overhead costs, and make the smaller venues more profitable.

see what i mean? this is just the beginning. LJ and egon, veteran A listers with extremely lojg resumes and damaged livers, are having problems coping with their newfound "agent provocateur" statuses. if it happens to them, grisled veterans that they are, who knows what will happen to the average everyday B lister when they reach 6 K posts.
as a countermeasure to off balance the floodgates of new monkiers, PDog and i will be holding a series of inservices, help sessions and motivational talks next Tuesday and Thursday on what it means to be a resident cretin, agent provocateur, etc. josh was contacted to help in the planning, but his secretary said he was attending an "up with circumcisions" rally in tallahasse and would be unable to attend.

You've finally found your "niche" Oh Great One Who Has No Life!!! Since you are having trouble finding gigs in the White Castles of Minnesota, this should work perfectly for you. Bambi can create wonderful powerpoint presentations for you and no doubt numerous celebrities from RO will volunteer to be guest speakers. Still have my doubt about you drawing in the chicks tho.... |

i respectfully agree. speaking for the rest of the resident cretins around here, we all have non-productive, non-fulfilling lives and are unable to balance our numerous poor quality posts with the crap that we don't do in the community and our families. josh, for example, earns a high post count, has three wonderful illnesses, and still mismanages to post an total of 441 posts per minute over the course of the last six hours. when he isn't working, playing with his poodle, posting, or making cookies for either his beautiful wife or his latino secretary, he is volunteering at the local ronald mcdonald house for posting addicts. when glenny isn't serving up beer and nuts, and when he isn't near his toilet striving to keep all the rocks off community involved in the goings on in bathroom events and who lindsay lohan injected BERT with, he is down at the local strip club donating dollar bills to the ladies in the hopes that they too may one day attain the american dream. when pdog isn't crusing around san francisco with its awesome football team around the high folks of that beautiful city and keeping us all in shambles with his "i love Joey's posts" posts, he is performing vaginal checks and giving it up down at the local Playboy home off of haight and 4th st. and i, of course, chair a foundation for supporting the development of Beatles cover bands. and joey.....uh....joey....ok, you have me there. joey definitely has a life. but the rest of us are all crazy, insane citizens. But all in all, Boomy is a top-notch R-Lister. He got it goin' on.

at the "resident cretin" indoctrination ceremony for glenny, josh dressed up as a kosher transvestite. pdog and i went as the two headed crystal meth monster on sesame street.
joey streaked the ceremony and ended up taking a dump underneath the podium.
