Sorry, but the 7th is the lifeblood of Barbershop. Without it, music lacks constructive dissonance*.

*One of my buddies in the chorus is a Physics guy. Music made so much more sense once he described it with math.

I thought this needed quoting. Did everybody know about this but me?

I adore how our Cobra unapologetically loves odd stuff :heart:

Only got a whole paragraph written today, but it was an acceptable paragraph.

Now to go lay in bed and try to choreograph everything so I can actually write it on the morrow.

IwillnotgetdiscouragedIwillnotgetdiscouragedIwillnotgetdiscouraged.

I got nothing today. Dammit. I keep hoping if I just write it will come to me... but I haven't opened it up and writ in it yet.

I don't know. I just have no idea how the thing ends.

Morning folks. Minimal dreamshit last night. Still, it's nap o'clock.

I'm having a lot of trouble deciding how to respond to the current racism discussion going on in the POC in SFF thread. I always have trouble figuring out how much of what I enounter is me misinterpreting someone, and how much is ignorance/privilige on my part of theirs.

CM--this is for you.

Love it.

Thought you might enjoy one of the best chorus pieces from a couple years ago. This is basically where the bar has been set and they are awesome.

I think I better stay out of the POC thread.

Fenika · Aug 23, 2011

I'm starting a Fen's Overtime in the Abattoir Pool. Guess my overtime. Choices are between 0 and 2.5 hours, in quarter hour increments. Winner each day gets a smibble.

Yesterday I worked the full 2.5. Today we have fewer little chickies to turn into dinner, and so far no breakdowns. Management assures me we'll be done earlier, but that likely jinxed it.

Any ties will result in division of the prize.

Also, eat less chicken ppl. For the love of me going home, have a steak.

It's always safer to stay out of political threads...

Oh politics!

I was looking at the acronyms going, "Points of Contact? Port of St. Charles? People of Canada? Prince of CTides?*"

So close! I don't know if threads about people of color are really politics, but they can be as scary.

And someone finally posted the requisite white privilige links.

They can get political. I've seen them.

Also, good morning Cantina.

As usual, I have no pants.

How about that as a new thread: People of No Pants in SF/F.

Should I admit that this was me or pretend it was someone else?

CobraMisfit · Aug 23, 2011

Based on Fen's recommendation, I popped into the "People On Crazy" thread, got bored instantly, and wandered back here. The Cantina is so much ~~safer~~ ~~sane~~ ~~respectable~~ dependable.

We have one. It's currently called "The Arbitrary Name Change Cantina."

I think I was the first to bring up privilige in the current round of discussion, so you can blame it on me if you want.

So that's why people have been giving me funny looks. Oh, well. The breeze is nice.

That was awesome.

Reminds me of my Men's Chorus days back in college.

Not that we ever did anything as well-choreographed and flashy as that number, but we did a bunch of fun tunes.

That, CM, is some FINE a capella

A+ on their showmanship, too!

A wise decision.

I'm having a turkey sandwich for lunch today. Does that help?

Also, for today, 2.0?
