    - IWET -- nm - Spawn May 3, 12:09
Does anyone know who is opening for Queen on their summer tour? Specifically in Montreal on July 17th? -- nm - Beaker May 3, 11:40 1
- probably one of her grandsons -- nm - crash davis May 3, 11:41
Speaking of music, xpn has been counting down the top 50 guitarists of all time. Top 5 will be revealed tonight, but here's the list so far. -- (link) - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 3, 11:34 10
- Spoils - zork May 3, 11:42 2
  - I guess the top 3 will be (spoils I guess) - Krusty May 3, 12:09
  - also, I might rank Bryan Adams, Brian Setzer, and Johnny Ramone -- nm - zork May 3, 11:49
- Looking at their playlist for this afternoon, they've done #5 and #4, looks like they haven't updated the page though - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 3, 11:41
- one of the local gun slingers was named one of the 50 best guitar players in Rolling Stone Mag, back in the 60's - zeitgeist May 3, 11:38
- that is interesting, they have Bruce at 33 - he gets all sorts of praise as a writer and as a performer, but his guitar work is underappreciated -- nm - crash davis May 3, 11:38 4
  - You know what a huge Bruce fan I am, and I do think his guitar work is underappreciated, but I don't think he belongs on that list (especially not - pmb May 3, 11:46 3
    - It's a Philly radio station so there's probably some homerism at play there. :) -- (edited) - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 3, 11:56
    - Agreed. It seems that the rankings are not just skill, considering Neil Young and Joni are pretty high up -- nm - zork May 3, 11:50 1
      - Which makes me wonder if Bob Dyan might somehow be in the top ones -- nm - zork May 3, 11:51
I've decided I'm going to buy a toaster today. Recommendations? -- nm - Mop May 3, 11:31 22
- Lucy Lawless -- nm - Amoxy May 3, 11:58
- I'd get a toaster oven so it can do more than just make toast. -- nm - Krusty May 3, 11:38 14
  - this is what I did -- nm - decline May 3, 11:40
  - If you have the space for a toaster oven, think I agree - ty97 May 3, 11:39 12
    - Most aren't larger than a toaster and my toast is toasted on both sides. There are coils on the top and bottom. -- nm - Krusty May 3, 11:43 10
      - But in a toaster both ends are equidistant (basically) from the coils, not so in a toaster oven. -- nm - ty97 May 3, 11:44 9
        
        In mine they are. I have a few slots to put the rack so it sits right in the middle and I get evenly toasted bread. -- (edited) - Krusty May 3, 11:46 2
        
        yup, I use it to reheat leftovers almost every day. - decline May 3, 11:50 1
        
        Mine has that option as well. It cooks things much faster too. I don't need a microwave or a toaster oven anymore. -- nm - Krusty May 3, 11:55
        
        huh? -- nm - decline May 3, 11:44 5
        
        Let me explain -- (link) - ty97 May 3, 11:45 [Backboard] 4
        
        you put the rack on the middle slot and the toast is equidistant -- nm - decline May 3, 11:45 3
        
        but now both sides are further away! -- nm - ty97 May 3, 11:48 2
        
        your arguments are getting as silly as a Trump tweet -- nm - decline May 3, 11:49 1
        
        you're destroying the environment with your unnecessary overuse of heat! -- nm - ty97 May 3, 11:52
    - huh? -- nm - decline May 3, 11:41
- here you go -- (link) - decline May 3, 11:36 1
  - Get a Toastero for $600. Turns out you can get the same results by squeezing the bread with your hands. -- nm - Mop May 3, 11:42
- cheap-ass peace of shit from Walmart so you can get another when it breaks -- nm - Beaker May 3, 11:33

  - I might steal your first sentence here. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 3, 12:05
  - it took me right back to when my dad and mom died. I almost started crying right there -- nm - Remlik May 3, 11:52 1
    - I was wondering how you were doing, without knowing what had happened to you. I'm very sorry. You probably, however, blunted it just a bit for the kid -- nm - Mel Profit May 3, 11:55
- Very sad but hopefully you gave the kids a few minutes to get their mind of the serious situation they're dealing with. -- nm - Krusty May 3, 11:38
- that's very kind of you. -- nm - Andie May 3, 11:36
- they've had the worst day they may possibly ever have and you showed them kindness - you are a very good man -- nm - crash davis May 3, 11:32 8
  - yes - big hugs! -- nm - Epiphany May 3, 12:13
  - This -- nm - eag May 3, 12:00
  - this -- nm - Diva May 3, 11:54

If you eat a lettuce leaf between two croutons...? -- nm - Mop May 3, 11:29
the "No King but the King of the Fourth" will work even better if the Celtics end up playing the Cavs and King James -- nm - Beaker May 3, 11:26 2
- I think their meeting may be inevitable, and that is a great point -- nm - crash davis May 3, 11:30 1
  - The nicknames require it. -- nm* - Mel Profit May 3, 12:14
Name three "current" songs and their artist that I should be listening to -- nm - crash davis May 3, 11:25 29
- Human by Rag'n'Bone Man -- nm - Spawn May 3, 12:07
- As it cannot be avoided, have you considered Ed Sheeran? I wonder what hijinks he and his mates are up to now. -- nm - Mop May 3, 11:53
- "I Don't Ever Want to Leave California" - Allison Crutchfield; "Fade Into" - Kindling; "Friendship (Is A Small Boat In A Storm)" - Chicano Batman -- nm - rollo May 3, 11:42
- NOT ED SHEERAN! -- nm - ty97 May 3, 11:33 4
  - definitely drunk -- nm - oblique May 3, 11:34 3
    - Heh, I do like the Shape of You song in spite of myself -- nm - ty97 May 3, 11:37 2
      - I kind of hate that song. I kind of like some of his other stuff, but he's beginning to annoy me. In part because I think he rips off a lot of other - pmb May 3, 11:39 1
        
        I have nothing against him, I'm just annoyed by liking adult contemporary. - ty97 May 3, 11:40
