What kind of Blues do you like, Jeremy? Just curious. It was mean and all, but spineless-anon brings up good points. |
| By Spawn of Satan (Melbamoose) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 01:08 am: Edit |
I don't know about you personally looking like an ass, Jeremy. I haven't seen you trying to speed up blues dancing. Just to clarify... |

First of all san diegans do suck at fast lindy. and second of all I dont' dance to many blues songs, becasuse they bore the hell out of me. You are just jealous because you have slow feet, and probably dance like yuo have 50 pound weights tied around your ankles. Obviously you are no one important in my life, or it would not have been an anonymous post, if yuo knew me at all, yuo would know that what people say about me doesnt affect me much... and just to reiterate, san diegans suck so much at fast lindy, it blows me away... I mean come on, i actually counted the number of follows that can dance fast, and it was only 8. |

As for true, rump-shakin', cornbread making, down home blues, I don't have very much. I end up spending most of my money on swing stuff, so I don't really have much blues. The stuff I have that I do have, though, includes Muddy Waters, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker and Led Zeppelin. I also have some various comp CDs. Okay, so the Zep isn't pure blues, but they're pretty close. Most blues songs aren't good for dancing, but I'll play a few. And while it's true that most blues songs are slow, there are fast ones, too. I still don't get what this guy is trying to say. I don't think I even play any fast blues songs when I DJ. As for looking like an ass, well, I won't comment on that one. |

Actually, there are a couple fast blues songs I play, if you count 180 as fast. |
| By Andy (Hitman) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 10:56 am: Edit |
all i got to say is Kansas City Blues baby! swings harder than most swing songs and most of it is 200+ ~8^) yo, and anyone who busts ass and hits the pine once every nite shouldn't be talkin' smack about dancin' fast!! |
| By Franglaise (Hepnat) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 11:06 am: Edit |
Floor population during the more up tempo songs would seem to indicate that fast dancing is not a forte and/or preference among the majority savoy dancers of San Diego. You can't deny it. I'm really enjoying the faster stuff that a number of DJ's are playing at the moment (Ye is notable in this). Part of this might also be that soo many of the lower tempo numbers are heard sooo often. |

Kansas City Blues is so 3 years ago. Oh wait, this is the San Diego board. Sorry. |

Hey Reuben, I'm DJing at Lindy Groove in March. If you are there, I would love to hear some constructive criticism of my DJing (i.e. how much you think I suck. I know you will think I suck, I'm just wondering what level of suckiness I will attain) |
| By Andy (Hitman) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 12:25 pm: Edit |
pretty high level, i would imagine ~8^) |

Reuben, What's your problem? Every scene is obviuosly different. We don't really need to be reminded of that. When our differences come together is when a sweet harmony is born. I'm a glad every scene is not the same, and actually I am damn proud of it! I am truely sorry for all the rest of the LAers who some people think you have given a bad name to. I don't want to judge a book by it's cover, so don't make me. With that said, don't forget to smile today!  |
| By Reuben Brown (Gurureuben) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 12:40 pm: Edit |
I don't have any problem, it was a joke. |
| By Franglaise (Hepnat) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 12:41 pm: Edit |
Reuben, darling, retro is this year's avant garde. |
| By halospotts (Carismiles) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 12:46 pm: Edit |
Reuben, I understood that it was a joke, I just didn't find it very funny. Don't worry, I do have a sense of humor, it just appears to be at a different level that yours. Jokes are not funny when they can have an adverse effect on someone. I myself took affense to your post and thus posted what I did. |
| By Andy (Hitman) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 01:34 pm: Edit |
what's reuben's problem? dang, we'd have to start a whole new thread for that one. Shawn might even have to buy more space on the server. |
| By Spawn of Satan (Melbamoose) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 01:55 pm: Edit |
for people who don't care about Reuben, you guys spend an awful lot of time talking about him. Just get over it. If you get offended, I think that's your problem. |
| By Andy (Hitman) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 02:08 pm: Edit |
stop it, Krista. You're getting me all turned on. Our posting, back and forth, is like a 3 minute love affair. It brings out the creepy guy in me! Save me a dance, soon, you sexy thing. grrrr. |

I have found that most people who get offended by such simple jokes are those who feel it hits to close to home, or there is to much truth to the joke when applied to themselves. That being said, perhaps you should look into why my little joke offended you. I myself could actually take offense to such a joke, since my own theme song as a DJ is a Kansas City Blues number by Jay McShann. So, in a way, I'm calling myself played out, the past, done and gone. But alas, it's just a JOKE! Learn to laugh at yourself, it's good for you. |

It's easy to be misunderstood by those who don't really know you. I know that. Cari's new on the scene, and I don't think she was aware of Reuben's rye and witty humor, with that ever irreverent twist. But Rueben usually has makes a good point delivered with a heavy dose of satire. Taken with a "grain of salt" I find him quite entertaining. Plus, when you can "float" at 300bpm much can be forgiven. I'm amazed we're only "3 years behind!" From Reuben that's a compliment! |
| By Gabe (Gabe) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 03:27 pm: Edit |
-- insert sarcasm here -- Reuben >> San Diego is a home to dance losers, since LA is so "ahead". Jeff >> You know what folks, I think Reuben has a valid point. Maybe San Diego does suck? Reuben >> Jeff, you're a dork, I got it from a reliable source, the same one that told me that Margaret ripped off Eddie Reed. Jeff >> Wow, I was called a dork by the foul-mouthed Jehovah Witness dj-critic from LA, that made my day. -- sarcasm ends -- |

Gabe, For the millionth time, I am NOT one of "Jehovah's Witnesses." Hell, calling me such would reflect poorly on them. They kicked me out for a reason you know. Jeff, Get your tounge out of my anus. You know I hate that kind of stuff... especially when it's being done about me. |
| By halospotts (Carismiles) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 03:55 pm: Edit |
I'm over it all. Thanks for trying to clear things up. |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 03:58 pm: Edit |
Hey, Gabe, I was talking about most of Reuben's posts for Cari's benefit. I wasn't agreeing with his "joke", which I took as such in the first place. And Reuben, I thought you like that kinda stuff. |

"For the millionth time, I am NOT one of "Jehovah's Witnesses." Hell, calling me such would reflect poorly on them." Yes, I'm afraid it would |

Reuben >> I have found that most people who get offended by such simple jokes are those who feel it hits to close to home heh heh, didn't you notice that is was just a simple joke Reuben? Reuben >> Hell, calling me such would reflect poorly on them A religious group that "kicks" out people and prohibits interaction among family members who are "kicked out", sadly reveals its cultic nature. |
| By Andy (Hitman) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 04:22 pm: Edit |
seriously, did you get kicked out? if so, how do they do that? take away your bicycle? |
| By Shaolin Invincible Killer Monkey (Yedancer) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 04:29 pm: Edit |
That's Mormons. Jehovah's Witnesses use cars. |
| By Reuben Brown (Gurureuben) on Monday, January 28, 2002 - 04:42 pm: Edit |
Well, Gabe, it wasn't really a simple joke, it was more a direct personal and inacurate comment. Furthermore, I wasn't in the least offended by it, as it did nothing but show your ignorance on the matter. Further proof of your lack of knowledge on the subject is that I see and talk to my family all the time. HA! Andy, I was kicked out for pre-marital sex. You know, that stuff the Bible says not to do yet so many "Christians" like to ignore. ;) Oh yeah, and yes they use cars... or just walk from door to door here in Southern California where the houses are close enough to do so. |

You know, the funny thing is, that when I first suggested a new swingorama poll for the front page about whether san diegans suck at fast dancing, I was being totally serious.. I really wanted to know.. |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 09:23 am: Edit |
No need to conduct a pole, good buddy. We're no "Fast Lindy" town. We were dancing pretty fast last night to some of Sue Palmer's stuff at Neimans! Whew!! Felt Goooooood!!! |

Jeff: WRY not RYE POLL not POLE YE: Amish and Mennonites not Mormons Everyone has to have their rant with Reuben, it's like a right of passage. It's how he extinguishes, I mean distinguishes himself. Andy: That line about the bicycle was really really funny. I'm going to use it in my show tonight. I'm not sure whether to make it a JW reference or an Amish reference. let's see... Yeah folks, I love it here in California, it almost makes up for that time when the Jehovah's Witnesses kicked me out for having premarital sex on a bicycle. They made it up to me. They bought me a ticket to Rome and told me that's the kind of thing they do at The Vatican. The only thing was, after three years in an Italian prison, I found out that that's not the kind of thing they do at the Vatican. He must have confused it with Pentagon. DP Resident Bastard |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 11:50 am: Edit |
I stand corrected by the "Verbal Advantage" master. Spell check doesn't pick up that kind of stuff from us "ignant folk". See ya tonight, you "dirty bastard!!!!" |
| By Andy (Hitman) on Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 12:01 pm: Edit |
he he David, that was funny! you can have the bike reference free of charge ~8^) |
| By Reuben Brown (Gurureuben) on Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 12:14 pm: Edit |
"YE: Amish and Mennonites not Mormons" He is referring to the young male Mormons who travel about (usually in twos) in white shirts and black ties on bicycles. Please reference the movie "Orgazmo" if this is not a common sight in your home town. |

The Mennonites in Mississippi and Alabama use cars. I sat across the aisle from a young Mennonite gal on a flight from Houston to Birmingham a couple years ago. |

Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter Day Saints (Mormons) are both known for their preaching work, which is what I (and Andy, too, I presume) was referring to. LDS missionaries are usually young men and they usually ride bicycles in their preaching work. They do have women missionaries, though, and I believe I have seen them in groups of 3 in cars, although I'm not sure if they were engaged in their preaching work at the time. I actually do not know why they use bicycles, but I've heard it has to do with it being cheaper. Jehovah's Witnesses use whatever means necessary, available, and practical for going door to door. That includes cars, motorcycles, animals, and even boats, depending on the terrain and the part of the world. In San Diego, we usually drive to wherever we are going to preach, and then walk from door to door. |

"we"....I see another layer of anonymity has peeled off. No wonder you're such a great dancer, Ye! It's all that walking!!! |

Now you know why I don't like staying out too late on Friday nights! |

You're JW? Now I TOTALLY don't understand how you'd allow yourself to be caught masturbating in the bathroom. I mean, granted, that chick from Gremlins did have nice boobs... but come ON! |
| By Shaolin Invincible Killer Monkey (Yedancer) on Wednesday, January 30, 2002 - 12:20 pm: Edit |
Ha ha. Remind me to beat you up next time I see you. |
| By I am we Todd did (Dennis) on Wednesday, January 30, 2002 - 12:42 pm: Edit |
Are you sure the JWs would allow that? You wouldn't want to pull a Reuben and get kicked out now, wouldja? Wouldja? |
| By Shaolin Invincible Killer Monkey (Yedancer) on Wednesday, January 30, 2002 - 12:53 pm: Edit |
No, I wouldn't get kicked out by merely beating you up, although I might get in a little bit of trouble. Of course, it would be even more ironic if I could get Judge Reinhold to beat you up. Then I wouldn't get in any trouble at all! Man, that would be so awesome! disclaimer: if you could not detect the sarcasm in this post, please seek the help of a professional psychologist |

Shawn, you could probably get rid of the "Peter Strom workshop" link of the front page any day now... |

Oh. Sorry. Thanks. I have my knee surgery this Thursday. Ahhh, to dance again without pain! |
