Wow that's some good shit! Seriously. That's your brother singing that? Kind of reminds me of The Deftones. At least he can sing originals, something I never could get the knack for. I'm just a imitator unfortunately. Never could find my voice. Mostly due to me being overly critical of my own singing I was just never happy with any original stuff I did.

And yes /handshake. I can pretty much be a prick myself when I want to be as you no doubt have figured out, LOL. I hate arguing with musicians. We are all brothers and sisters in my eyes.

and whats funny about karaoke? its fun (usually more so if you CANT sing like me), derp derp derp, ......and probably stuck up


Exactly, which is why I don't take it seriously when someone refers to a karaoke star as proof of talent. And yes if that makes me stuck up then so be it. I'm stuck up.

more than just a "karaoke star" i assure you: http://soundcloud.com/sphiralstudios (our bands works in progress page)
http://soundcloud.com/wolvestulsa (the full page, mixed and mastered. A few are being redone, namely Under Cover of Night and Some Kind of Bird, mainly because the songs have evolved from when we first wrote and recorded em (whats on there now) to what they are currently)

its in my nature to be an asshole, it takes some getting used to i suppose, so apologies for that. Put in another way, i was merely pointing out that i had four other "professional grade" singers listen to it and they flatly disagreed with your position, namely that there were plenty of "sour notes" and just an overall lack of pitch control (a talent rarely seen in today's pop stars, as opposed to say, maynard james keenan).

Guess thats just what i was trying to say, but in a dickish manner =P

/handshake?

its actually a pretty shitty clip.
Ten more seconds and you would actually see the entire scene where one of them "gives".


Agreed!

It's the clip that was originally posted. But if you wish to replace it with a clip that has that crucial extra ten seconds you're looking for, then knock yourself out:

Ah, so it was you who started that.

Git to da choppa!

I have no problem with this as long as it's me that they hire at an exorbitant salary to determine what ideas or information are circulating in the social media that need correcting. And in two years when they determine that I'm not doing the job to their satisfaction they can fire me and give me a half million dollar golden handshake.

Look out! Handshake fail @ 5:16

How does this not have terrible tag. This is one of the worst things to be teaching little athletes...


Agreed! As a footballer myself, after the game is over.... it's done, leave it on the pitch. When the final whistle blows it's all handshakes and smiles, Respect and Class.

I feel the doctor and obama should have hi-fived or at least done a terrorist fist bump, the handshake didnt seem real enough.

Can't find a replacement. Here's the transcript in case some lonely wanderer wonders what this video was about:

Oct 14, 2008
"MADDOW: Coming up, Academy Award-winning director, Oliver Stone, joins us here in the studio to talk about his new film “W” or “double-u” if you‘re one of those east coast media elitists. Hopefully, I can persuade Mr. Stone to share his opinions about the life and career of President George W. Bush, but you know how shy Mr. Stone is. I will do what I can.

First though, it‘s time for a few underreported holy mackerel stories in today‘s news. Ready for the first one? Quote, “In the beginning of the timing of the laws, I said there is no difficulty‘s base.” What? Huh? What I said was, “In the beginning of the timing of the laws, I said there is no difficulty‘s base.”

Does that make any sense to you? Yes, me neither. And neither did it make sense to the judge, the military officers, or lawyers working one of the tribunals at Guantanamo recently, when an American paid Arabic translator dictated to them that nonsense sentence, as if it made sense in English.

Does the phrase “lost in translation” spring to mind? Five key defendants charged in conjunction with 9/11 are moving towards jury trials. The U.S. military lawyers assigned to defend them say that translation services have been done so on the cheap that they estimate about half of what a defendant stated in the hearing room was mistranslated and a ¼ of what was said in English in the courtroom never made it back to the defendant. There are standards for these sorts of things, you know, at, say, federal courts or the international criminal courts but at Guantanamo, apparently? Not so much.

Remember the case there about Osama bin Laden‘s alleged driver? That actual phrase, “bin Laden‘s driver” was repeatedly translated as “bin Laden‘s lawyer.” What‘s the difference?

And time is running out for American troops to be in Iraq legally. The United Nation‘s mandate that allows our troops to be there expires at the end of this year. What happens when that mandate expires? Well, the Bush administration has long expressed confidence that the Iraqi government and the White House could sign a status-of-forces agreement—a country-to-country, one-on-one plan for keeping our troops there.

But after months of a stalemate and trying to reach such an agreement, one of the Iraqi vice presidents this week finally said that he doesn‘t think it‘s going to happen in time. So, that means after December 31st, it will be illegal for American troops to be on Iraqi streets.

Karen DeYoung from “The Washington Post” reports today that American officials are looking for a plan B if the status-of-forces negotiations really don‘t work out. What is plan B? Apparently, the Bush administration might try to get that U.N. mandate extended. That would require a vote in the U.N. Security Council where Russia holds a veto and Russia, you may recall, would just love an opportunity like that to shove us our locker and steal our lunch money.

So that makes me think “B” in that plan stands for “bad,” as in if that‘s your only plan, that‘s a bad plan. Karen DeYoung suggests that a few other plan Bs might be in the works as well, though Plan B-1 - I guess we‘d call it. A plan B-1 would be, quote, “a simple handshake agreement between Bush and the Iraqi prime minister to keep troops around until the next president takes over and starts negotiating again.”

A handshake deal? You would ride 150,000 American lives on a handshake deal? Maybe I could suggest a plan C, “C” as in “see you.” If the Iraqi government doesn‘t want us to stay enough to sign a deal for to us stay, how about we leave?"

I'm upset not by the depth, but at how crappily he executed the bow - with the sculiotiic spine and tandem handshake. I expected him to be schooled a bit better on a proper Japanese bow before the meeting.

I agree. Straighten your damn back and don't show the back of your head! I've shown the back of my head exactly once and it was because I'd messed up pretty good before hand.

Still, to be fair, as a Westerner you can't help but be aware that you suck at bowing no matter how many times you've done it. But I believe the important point is that you're at least trying to show good etiquette. All this outrage over bowing is so obviously fabricated for ignorant people that anyone criticisizing him for this should be embarrassed that they're so easily manipulated.

Downvote for misrepresenting my royal house. I'm a staunch defender of our royalty, and this (perhaps unintentional) depiction of the king as being less-than-respectful couldn't be further from the truth.

Do you know how many time they meet and shake hands in front of the camera like that? Well I can tell you it's enough times to warrant an initial bow, followed only by subsequent handshakes. You can definately find a picture where the emperor and my king bow to eachother, garantueed! Also, some of these heads of state have spent everything from a few years to several decades in events together. As I understand it, bowing is oftentimes more of a formal greeting for people introducing themselves to each other. Is that wrong?

As we've so clearly seen in this slideshow, if your agenda is to paint someone up as being more humble than the rest and at the same time try to equate that trait as something negative, then there's more than enough of a selection of pictures to choose from.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
