Let's see how many bizzare answers we can get. They don't have to be factual, just funny.

Please ask each member a question regarding their screen names only.

Here's my question... EvilMatt, what makes you so evil?

Not to disappoint, but I'm not really all that evil.  I mean, I've never actually hatched an evil scheme, or devised a deathtrap, or twirled my mustache in a sinister fashion.  Hell, I don't even HAVE a mustache.  I'm more like "Moderately Unpleasant Matt", but that just doesn't have the same panache.

You know, I couldn't help but notice that nobody ever asks me where my login comes from...

Hmmmm...

Don't need to..we just read your posts...

You couldn't have said it better Freep.

Dude...Grumpy Guy, why are you always p**sed off or grumpy?

You stated that you're 28 years old in a previous post.
NO ONE at your age should be so negative like you are.
If you were 70-85 years old, I could understand it but at 28?
What happened to you in your life to make you so grumpy, irate and short tempered?

I now know that I am not the only one who thinks that 80-90% of your posts are negative.

Well, mostly it was in jest :)

My post on the other hand was not in jest...

 I want to know why Grumpy is so grumpy.

I don't see a problem with his posts.  

They are usually good natured.

ASHTHECAT, you say the same thing about my posts.  Lighten up.  We all go through rough times, don't let them beat you.

Kirk

And sometimes insightful.  It's fair to say they might be blunt, sometimes.

I have to say, though, just the name "Grumpy Guy" does make me think of someone older than 28...like Grandpa Simpson.

As his brother, I really shouldn't be talking behind his back, but, since this is an ever so important question, I might as well spill the beans.

First off, Grumpy Guy has small feet.

Very small feet.

Practically nonexistent.

I don't know how he walks, let alone drive a car.  You should see him dancing; the man looks like he's about to fall on his ass half the time.  He must have the balance of a tightrope walker.

Second off, Grumpy suffers from years of dealing with a cruel, overbearing elder brother.  Let's call this brother "Dead Robin", or DR for short.  

DR loves horror and science fiction movies.  A lot.  And when he finds a flick he likes, he makes everyone in the family to watch it., including poor Grumpy, who would rather watch French art films about cities having orgasms, or whatever.

Unfortunately, DR doesn't have much taste.  He thinks films like Toxic Avenger and Class of Nuke'em are "great examples of American Movie Exallence (sic)."  Thus, Grumpy has watched more than his fair share of trivial tripe.

Things haven't been all bad, of course.  DR introduced Grumpy to this site, where he can express his displeasure at various Bad Movies to sympathetic ears.  Plus, Grumpy's standards have been slipping of late.  Not only does he enjoy MST3K, he also has been known to rent such pieces of agony as Tail Sting and Sleepless in Seattle.

To be honest with all of you, I feel rather sorry for Grumpy.  And not just because he doesn't have proper, manly feet like everyone else in the family.  I, too, have suffered because of DR's poor movie choices.  I remember paying good money to see American Werewolf in Paris in a theater.  And all three Carnosaurs  And more.  Countless more.

In fact, if I wasn't reasonably sure I was using DR as a pseudonym, I'd go off and punch that bastard right in the nose.  The damn freak.

Hey Ash,

Does ASHTHECAT stand for burn the cat? As in... to set fire to a poor, helpless, furry, little animal? ; )

No....

I used to have a grey male cat named Ash....hence my screen name.

In keeping with the spirit of the original post, I have to ask  a question based on a screen name.

 VelvetBrotha, what kind of car do you drive? When I read your screen name, I get flashes of Superfly, Huggy Bear, Dolemite, Black Caesar and other Soul-Cinema greats.

So, would you, by chance, drive a purple 1975 Lincoln, with fender skirts and orange curtains? Do you own an Apple Jack hat?

Cullen and Grumpy Guy have one damn interesting family by the sounds of it.  I wish my brother paid more attention to the movies I try and force him to watch, but he's still hung up on movies like Varsity Blues.  He said Kill Bill 1 was 'ok, but not that great' for pete's sake!!  That is a crime to me.

At least my friends have great taste in movies.  Despite most of them liking 'classy' films or dodgy action flicks, they also don't mind a dabble in the odd bad movie [Dead Alive, or Braindead as we have it, is a classic for all of us]

But speaking of screen names, I always wonder about Skaboi's name.  Whenever I see a post by Skaboi I always want to hit the screen because that damn Avril Lavinge song 'Skater boy' or whatever pops into my head.  Damn annoying that is.  Though not your fault Skaboi [unless you meant it that way, in which case DIE EVIL SCUM!]

Ahem...  anger fading... fading... gone.

You may (or may not) have noticed my refusal to answer my brother's post.  There is a very simple reason for this.

It is beneath me.  

And, yes - we do have an interesting family life.  So nya. :-P

That's it?  Four days of thought and that's the best you can do?  I'm stunned.  Absolutely flabbergasted.  Not even a grumpily snide remark!

What's wrong with you?  You used to be better than that.  A worthy adversary.  (Pity I never was...)

And now look at you.  A witless stripling with tiny feet.  Oh how the might have fallen.  It's a crying shame.

"It is beneath me."  Apparently contractions are beneath you, too.  I expect you to start writing in the royal "we" now.  It’s ad enough you do it in regular conversation.

I mean, really.

Oh well.  I probably should look on the bright side.  At least you have a sense of humor.

I hope.

Dean, nah man that's not the basis for my screename.

Actually comes from music.  Ska is kind of like punk with the horn section of a high school band thrown in.  Oi is also a variation on punk.  

Check out  Skarmy Of Darkness for some fun Ska and Dropkick Murphys for some great Oi.

I picked up on the "ska" part, but the Oi  bit escaped me, I'm an ass. The only downside to being a Dropkick Murphys fan is that when you wear one of their t-shirts, people read it and ask where Dropkick Murphys is, they always think it's a bar. Also, if you wear one to OzzFest, you have to resist to urge to punch the smarmy, 14 year old goth chick who says they suck as you're coming out of the p**ser. 'Course, maybe I'm too sensitive. "The Torch" makes me a bit misty(stop laughing).

Deej,

Right on man.  I've had the same problem with a Dropkick Murphys shirt I had a few years back.

As for the Ozzfest, people don't realize that you can listen to anything.  People are always like:

"I'm so f**king punk"

"I'm so f**king metal"

Shut up.  I don't listen to only punk, ska and the like.

I listen to everything.

On the flip side, I met a guy in the pit who was into the Murphys, and wound up hearing his life story over several beers. Most people are cool if given a chance, then there are those who put on that cynical, jaded, seen-it-all schtick. Which is fine, but doesn't work well if you're a 14 year old kid.

I was working dog watch the other night and took my meal break at a local Denny's, and there were a bunch of the "I'm so f**king punk" types  sitting at a nearby table (in the smoking section, of course). They wore the same punk uniform I wore, except I never had the stones to go with a pink mohawk. Oklahoma City is still a pretty hard town to be "different" in, so I gotta say...I sort of admire them. I remember the crap I caught for having blue hair(I'm a rebel) and I almost got my ass kicked several times as a teen for wearing an anti-swasi shirt. Okay, so, this whole paragraph basically has no point.....just indulging in my need to ramble. sorry.

Ozzfest has kinda gone into the crapper the last few years anyway.  They're getting better, letting bands like Shadowsfall and Cradle of Filth play, but c'mon.  They had Crazy Town last year.  True, they got booed off the stage, and deservedly so, but Sharon lost the plot years ago.  Someone needs to wall her up in a brick basement and let Ozzy have some dignity in the last few years of his life.

Brother R

Don't you just hate those snot nosed little Goth bastards. They hate the world and act like they know it all.

I went in 2001(I think) in Atlanta(positive about that). The main stage line-up included Linkin Park and Manson, neither of which I really care for, but Ozzy was playing with Sabbath and put on a fantastic show. This was the first big show I'd been to since Monsters of Rock in '85...Warlocks rule!! So, I was just happy to be out in the open air instead of squeezed into a s**tty punk venue. I just lost track of cool sometime around 1994, so I didn't and don't really recognize any of the newer bands. Weeping Christ...it's hard to be lame!

Being an adult, it kinda annoys me, but I guess we all need our pose. I had mine and I'm sure everyone had theirs, as a teen. But, "world weary" just doesn't work when you're a teen aged, upper-middle class twat, from Terrace Hills and you live with your parents.

Oh, how I would like to hang them all with their fishnet stockings.  But it's such a double-edged sword, because some of the chicks look so good in that stuff.  Too bad they're a bunch of whiny pricks who think Sisters of Mercy are the pinnacle of musical evolution.

Whatever.... they're just a bunch of spoiled, whiney losers.

I wouldn't mind grinding the hell outta one of those little goth chicks though. I'd teach them a good lesson. "Squeal like a pig!!!"

Actually, Dropkick Murphy's was originally the name of a detox center in Acton, MA, where my parents grew up. They've waxed nostalgic about it many times... ;)

Yeah, I had a similar experience with an Anti-Nazi shirt I used to wear back in high school.  It said something along the lines of

"Help Keep Your Neighborhood Clean"

and had one of those generic street sign stick people throwing a swastika into a trash can.  I think I bought it from Asian Man Records (Mike Park's label.)  One of the "Nazis" in the school gave me s**t about it.  Didn't matter anyway.  He just seemed to be a poser, did whatever he thought everyone would think was cool.

The same guy now has blonde hair and thinks he's Eminem.  Little bit of a turn around eh?

Suprisingly though that shirt got more attention from the students than did my "Nazi Punks f**k Off" shirt.  But that one did get more attention from the teachers.  

Guess not everyone has a taste for The Dead Kennedys

Who's seen the South Park episode that gives s**t to Goth's?  It's pretty funny.

I don't mind them.  There's a group of them who sit outside the main station in the city and look scary [one even carries a doll with partial hair and a knife through it]

I couldn't imagine life without them!!  It's so fun seeing them scare the crap out of old people going on a day trip into the city from the suburbs.

I mean, they aren't that scary if you talk to them.  Me and some friends bummed a light off them once, the one who gave us his zippo had a british accent.  That could never be scary!  They all seemed fine.

Though the ones who act all depressed are annoying as all f**k.
