TikiShout stuff worth documenting

Yeah, that was our first and last attempt at TikiSHOUT! Thirsty Night Karaoke Klub. It sorta fell apart due to all the drunks and loudmouths: None of 'em showed up.

Damn, I had this song ready and I missed the karaoke night oln Shout@ Ah oooo

I saw a weirdo walking thru the streets of Beverly Hill's
He was looking for the place called Circa 55.
Going to get a big dish of transplanted Pu Pu’s.

Ahhwooooo... Weirdos of Beverly Hills, Ahwooooo!
Ahhwooooo... Weirdos of Beverly Hills, Ahwooooo!

You hear about their plans for Trader Vic’s.
You better not let it happen.
Little old cultural icon got mutilated late last night,
Weirdos of Beverly Hills again.

Ahhwooooo... Weirdos of Beverly Hills, Ahwooooo!
Ahhwooooo... Weirdos of Beverly Hills, Ahwooooo! Huh!

He's the wall of sound dude who looks like Fudd.

Lately he's been carrying heat.
You better stay away from him,
He'll shoot your face off, Lana,
Huh! I'd like to meet his lawyer.

Ahhwooooo... Weirdos of Beverly Hills, Ahwooooo!
Ahhwooooo... Weirdos of Beverly Hills, Ahwooooo!

Well, I saw Benny walking with the Queen,
Watching the Weirdo of Beverly Hills.
I saw Benny. walking with the Queen,
Watching the Weirdo of Beverly Hills.

I saw a weirdo drinking a navy grog at Trader Vic's,
And his hair was f#*#*d up.
Ahhwooooo... Weirdos of Beverly Hills, Huh! Draw blood!
Ahhwooooo... Weirdos of Beverly

Anybody want my meatballs recipe! Been in the family for 100 years!

Here it is - Mix equal parts low-fat ground beef with mild Italian sausage meat.

Add 1 egg, some mustard powder and olive oil. Then mix in - get this - water.

Get your hands all gooey by mixing this stuff together until its smooth. You can also add ground pepper salt and or Kikkoman soy sauce if you want. (Also Italian spice mix to taste.) Or if you want to go all healthy, just fresh basil and sliced fresh garlic.

Roll into small balls, and fry in olive oil in a big pan. I also freeze half the meatballs for use later. Fry lightly, drain, and add to a crock pot with 1 of those Barilla or Paul Newman sauce jars. Also add chopped fresh tomatoes (Italian Plum) and turn crockpot on high for the day.

Serve HOT.

7:58 AM

Good morning Tiki-Landia! Today is Friday, February fifth, two thousand ten and this is...Rise & SHOUT!

Today on Rise & SHOUT!...He's the hottest star you've never heard ofin the coolest movie you've never seen...Howard Schlesinger, star of the underground indie cult art house romantic comedy sci-fi action movie One Thing is the Law, Another Thing Is You...

Yikes, lovers! It's almost Valentine's Day! How would you like to be able to make home made peppermint patties for that special someone? Well Rise & SHOUT!'s mad scientist cook Mac Whatsit is going to be here to show us how!

Best selling author Patsy Sobile chat's with Rise & SHOUT!'s Carrie Myunberrie about her latest pop-up historical romance novella Smuggler's Heart...

And we have a hilarious commentary from Rise & SHOUT!'s Mad Dog Mike about why you can never find a pencil when you need one. Then later we'll be joined by hot new western swing noise band The Flying Butt Dresses to rock us into the weekend!

All that and more on Rise & SHOUT! Now, first this news...

(Later, at 8:50...)

MadDogMike: Have you ever noticed that you can't find a pencil when you need one? And if you can find one, it's all chewed up and the eraser is worn down to a little pink nub. Not that I have anything against little pink nubs, but I mean, come on! Who chews on a pencil - do you know where that's been?! Did you hear about the constipated mathematician? He worked it out with a pencil. THAT'S what I'm talking about.

[ Edited by: woofmutt 2010-02-05 09:28 ]

this thread is bogus!
there is NOTHING on TikiShout!
worth documenting....

unless you're really in need of a hobby...
UNLESS this is THAT hobby,of course....

I did it!
THE 2010 Zeta's clean sweep of the TC boards.
(except for the Grand Ceremonial Forum of Mystery, but it doesn't count because I am not allowed there...yet)

I really feel like I accomplished something
(applause) (applause)

Sorry... Only with the Ceremonial Forum of mystery completed
will your accomplishment REALLY count....

Nice try tho,Zeta!

:cry:

Not to mention that a sweep such as this (which has been done before by other people who also didn't get invited to any parties that night) (and if you think I'm referring to myself, I'm not) really isn't about SHOUT! and doesn't qualify for being posted in this thread.

So it is with great regret that I inform you that what might have seemed to be a drunken accomplishment is in fact a failure on many levels.

I will now openly weep for you.

Here comes the elitist & popular woofmutt to pass judgement on Zeta for having a bit of fun.
Whats the matter woof, did not get invited to a party today so you are taking it out on Zeta.

"Here comes the elitist & popular woofmutt to pass judgement on Zeta for having a bit of fun.

I think The Elitist & Popular Woofmutt is a bit too wordy of a title so in the future could you just refer to me as Woofmutt the Awesomest? Thanks.

I will now also weep openly for you.

This has been a very, very sad day.

Your ego knows no bounds.

I'll put an end to all this Sweep nonsense...

I was there on the night that Tiki Trav performed the first ever documented TC sweep. In fact, I was the one who predicted, witnessed, and commented on it. I was also watching last night, as Zeta attempted to do the same sweep, and I have I have to point this out before I provide my ultimate and final irrefutable ruling.
As you can see, Tiki Trav posted in the Grand Members forum to complete his sweep:

Every catagory is filled with a TikiTrav

As the self sworn world's leading authority on TC Thread Sweeps, I have to say, while Zeta's efforts were admirable, as LLT stated, they fell short of an official true TC sweep by not having the Grand forum catagory post to complete the sweep. Therefore, Zeta's claims of a 2010 TC Sweep are found to be invalid.

Everything else on this thread has nothing of interest to the World's Foremost Leading Authority on TC Thread Sweeps, but I will acknowledge Woofmutt as being ** Woofmutt the Awesomest.**

Sorry Zeta. Congrats Woofmutt the Awesomeest!
Buzzy Out!

sorry Zeta!
Shell out some cash and get a grand membership
and then your Dream can become REALITY!
Good luck!

Woofmutt the Awesomest!

MadDogMike Everyone loves the taste of a garden fresh Mai Tai but digging and planting limes and mint is such backbreaking work. But now there's an easy way to have delicious Mai Tais all summer long. Introducing the revolutionary Topsy Turvy Mai Tai Tree. It grows your limes and mint upside-down so there's no digging, no weeding or bending over. Because it's upside down, the water and nutrients pour directly to the leaves and fruit, giving you hundreds of wonderful Mai Tais. But wait, if you order now, you'll get TWO Topsy Turvy Mai Tai Trees (just pay shipping and handling) Call now, operators are standing by.

little lost tiki: IMAGINE THAT! 11:01:59
little lost tiki: Chartered psychologist Gary Fitzgibbon says an ability to "suspend disbelief" is one way of looking at creativity. "When you suspend disbelief you are prepared to believe anything and this opens up the scope for seeing more possibilities. "Creativity is certainly about not being constrained by rules or accepting the restrictions that society places on us. Of course the more people break the rules, the more likely they are to be perceived as 'mentally ill'." He works as an executive coach helping people to be more creative in their problem solving behaviour and thinking styles. "The result is typically a significant rise in their well being, so as opposed to creativity being associated with mental illness it becomes associated with good mental health." 11:01:48
little lost tiki: "Creativity is uncomfortable. It is their dissatisfaction with the present that drives them on to make changes. "Creative people, like those with psychotic illnesses, tend to see the world differently to most. It's like looking at a shattered mirror. They see the world in a fractured way. "There is no sense of conventional limitations and you can see this in their work. Take Salvador Dali, for example. He certainly saw the world differently and behaved in a way that some people perceived as very odd." He said businesses have already recognised and capitalised on this knowledge. Some companies have "skunk works" - secure, secret laboratories for their highly creative staff where they can freely experiment without disrupting the daily business. 11:01:27
little lost tiki: The thalamus serves as a relay centre, filtering information before it reaches areas of the cortex, which is responsible, amongst other things, for cognition and reasoning. "Fewer D2 receptors in the thalamus probably means a lower degree of signal filtering, and thus a higher flow of information from the thalamus," said Professor Ullen. He believes it is this barrage of uncensored information that ignites the creative spark. This would explain how highly creative people manage to see unusual connections in problem-solving situations that other people miss. Schizophrenics share this same ability to make novel associations. But in schizophrenia, it results in bizarre and disturbing thoughts. UK psychologist and member of the British Psychological Society Mark Millard said the overlap with mental illness might explain the motivation and determination creative people share. 11:00:35
little lost tiki: Art and suffering Some of the world's leading artists, writers and theorists have also had mental illnesses - the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh and American mathematician John Nash (portrayed by Russell Crowe in the film A Beautiful Mind) to name just two. Creativity is known to be associated with an increased risk of depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Thalamus The thalamus channels thoughts Similarly, people who have mental illness in their family have a higher chance of being creative. Associate Professor Fredrik Ullen believes his findings could help explain why. He looked at the brain's dopamine (D2) receptor genes which experts believe govern divergent thought. He found highly creative people who did well on tests of divergent thought had a lower than expected density of D2 receptors in the thalamus - as do people with schizophrenia. 10:59:51
little lost tiki: Creativity is akin to insanity, say scientists who have been studying how the mind works. Brain scans reveal striking similarities in the thought pathways of highly creative people and those with schizophrenia. Both groups lack important receptors used to filter and direct thought. It could be this uninhibited processing that allows creative people to "think outside the box", say experts from Sweden's Karolinska Institute. In some people, it leads to mental illness. But rather than a clear division, experts suspect a continuum, with some people having psychotic traits but few negative symptoms.... 10:59:26

Zeta: I did not bought those boxers. They where a gift from a hot chic. I do like some of the stuff from GAP. it's cool and not pretentious but I can't stand child labor. That's why I rarely buy anything these days... Only the basics and vintage everything. I spend most of my pesos in flea markets and bookstores... and traveling. I am not so much into the shinny stuff. Forgive them woofmutt because they don't know what they are doing. (and they don't want to know!) Whatever... I am not judging. 08:53:31

woofmutt: Wait, American style bacon does not mean Canadian bacon??? MY HEAD HURTS! 07:40:05
woofmutt: Zeta, how popular is apple pie in the the United Mexican States? 07:34:51
woofmutt: Also I now turn to our Canadian readers: If I were to call you an "American" would you correct me in any way or would you feel that was an accurate descriptor for who you are? Keep in mind, I did not refer to you as a North American but simply as an American. 07:33:26
woofmutt: X Wrong and X wrong. American music isn't marketed as American music, it's used as a term to designate music from the United States. Music from these great continents is called "music of this Americas." Americans are not designated by what state we come from, we are lumped together as a whole. So there must be an accurate term for that whole which includes the entire name of our country or at least the most significant aspect of that name (such as those form The United Mexican States being simply called "Mexicans.") 07:29:57
Zeta: woofmutt: I also need an answer to the correct worldwide term for "American music" and "American football." No answer, that's just how the U.S.A. markets itself. not my problem. Mariachi band IS as American as the Ramones 07:26:03
Zeta: I know, I thought about that before... I guess you are from your state. Californian, Bostonian, Texan... I am as American as you are or as Taboo dan or as Clarita from Argentina. Deal with it. America=continent U.S.A. = country 07:24:20
woofmutt: I also need an answer to the correct worldwide term for "American music" and "American football." 07:23:18
woofmutt: And what am I, by the way? A United Statian? That seems inaccurate as it doesn't include America. Am I am United States of American? Why does it have to be so long? USAian is just weird and a little unfair because why should my country get reduced to just initials? 07:21:51
Zeta: Zeta 1 woofmutt 0 07:21:25
woofmutt: Never. I only speak for myself or those who have retained me to speak for them. In this case the United States has not retained me, thank God. I couldn't possibly express why so many United Statians (?) do or think what they do. 07:18:38
Zeta: But you ARE talking in the name of America. 07:14:54
Zeta: I never said I spoke for all of the world, I told you, don't believe me? Ask around. but you didn't quote me on that. 07:12:12
Zeta: "Yes, that's what pert near everyone who says "America" means. It's kinda a worldwide thing." You started the worldwide spoke man thing. U.S. is fine, but U.S.A. is the name. 07:09:26
woofmutt: "Not true. no matter if everyone in the radio you listen to say so. In the rest of the world (except the UK) we call it U.S.A." I didn't realize you spoke for all of the world except for the UK and the US. (Wait, can I call it it the US? Because it's short for United States and we're not the only United States.) I think that if you went to most places in the world and asked a person a question about America or Americans that very few people would be confused as to whether you were talking about Mexicans, Chileans, or Canadians. However, I am curious: In the rest of world (other than the UK) what do you call American music, American movies, American football, American literature, et cetera? (Note: "Boring and dumb" though frequently true of American music, movies, and football, does not count as an answer.) 07:04:15
MadDogMike: Cynical or realistic? The ideals that made this ciuntry (USA) great are dying off with our parents; "work hard & save"."do unto others as you would have them do unto you","eat your dinner or you don't get any dessert" have been replaced with instant gratification, entitlement, and pseudo-activism. While I don't buy into the conspiracy theories, I do believe this will continue because cheap oil is a top priority for us. 06:44:05
Zeta: ""I assume you just don't care, uh?" That's your assumption, i can't say it's wrong. It's not the truth, but it's your assumption. As for the spill: I am not sitting in ashes, rending my garments, crying to heaven. It's irritating but my options for meaningful action are minimal and would be inconsequential. And unfortunately I think we can expect more of this sort of thing in the future. There will be outrage and shock but as Mr Bay Park Buzzy said: "You cannot argue with convenience AND cost! " We want oil (and coal) cheap and plentiful. And while it still is we will continue doing this sort of thing." That's being cynical. 05:54:10
Zeta: ""in America, you mean the U.S.A." Yes, that's what pert near everyone who says "America" means. It's kinda a worldwide thing. At least based on the worldwide radio I listen to. Of course there is North America, Central America and South America but when it's just "America" it usually always means U.S.A." Not true. no matter if everyone in the radio you listen to say so. In the rest of the world (except the UK) we call it U.S.A. don't believe me? ask around. 05:33:00
woofmutt: "in America, you mean the U.S.A." Yes, that's what pert near everyone who says "America" means. It's kinda a worldwide thing. At least based on the worldwide radio I listen to. Of course there is North America, Central America and South America but when it's just "America" it usually always means U.S.A. "I assume you just don't care, uh?" That's your assumption, i can't say it's wrong. It's not the truth, but it's your assumption. As for the spill: I am not sitting in ashes, rending my garments, crying to heaven. It's irritating but my options for meaningful action are minimal and would be inconsequential. And unfortunately I think we can expect more of this sort of thing in the future. There will be outrage and shock but as Mr Bay Park Buzzy said: "You cannot argue with convenience AND cost! " We want oil (and coal) cheap and plentiful. And while it still is we will continue doing this sort of thing. 23:55:52
Bay Park Buzzy: I heard that from the voice in my head. 23:36:05
Bay Park Buzzy: I heard that BP was trying to get people to boycott their own gas stations. That way, they coud go bankrupt and not have to pay for the ceanup. Genius! 23:35:51
Bay Park Buzzy: I buy my gas at BP because it's closer and cheaper than all the other gas stations. You cannot argue with convenience AND cost! 23:34:35
Zeta: aren't you just a little bit pissed? 23:01:55
Zeta: woofmutt, I assume you just don't care, uh? "it was an accident" you think? 22:50:58
Zeta: in America, you mean the U.S.A. 22:46:32
woofmutt: Not answering for the Mighty One but in America the outraged and self righteous are not buying gas at BP. They go to Exxon. Then drive smugly off. 22:41:58
Zeta: Liloti, what can I do about the BP spill? besides using oil as little as possible and be informed, what else can I do about it? Does talking about it and make people aware of it make any difference at all? 22:30:41

Zeta: but yeah, America (the whole continent) is the best. Europe is great for it's culture and social justice, but weather sucks and they have no sense of humor! 08:38:13
woofmutt: We Awesomes are wary of world citizens. We think they can't commit. Awesomes are very committed, though Prozac has meant that fewer of us are committed these days. 08:37:20
Zeta: I'm just a citizen of the world... 08:35:35
woofmutt: As an Awesome I am also a proud American. It's really the best hemisphere. 08:34:40
woofmutt: Zeta, sorry, but I wasn't admitting to accepting your designation of what I should call myself. But I appreciate the offer. In the spirit of being a good American I suggest that we Unitedstatesofamericans be simply referred to as the Awesome. 08:34:04
Zeta: JAJAJA so true... whatever... 08:32:36
woofmutt: Most people don't like to engage in arguments as they assume it's fighting. 08:31:57
Zeta: Thanks for accepting it woofmutt, you are a great specimen. Good human and good UnitedStatesofAmerican! 08:31:29
woofmutt: No. When I'm arguing (exchange of different viewpoints not fighting) with friends and they present superior logic I will admit to it immediately. My friends won't do the same, they'll usually dismiss the argument. But later will site my point of view as their own. 08:31:21
MadDogMike: And those who will admit that they have been won over are lying just to get you to shut up :) 08:30:35
woofmutt: Which is why it's basically pointless to attempt to win someone over by arguing. It's fun, though. But very few people will admit to when they have been convinced of the other's point of view. 08:28:54
woofmutt: Or admit that an argument (exchange of idea, not a fight) has been won by superior reasoning. 08:27:29
woofmutt: Even among the best of friends we hate to apologize. 08:26:46
woofmutt: It's a great human trait but one that's rarely exhibited. 08:26:23
Babalu: the ability to admit when you may be wrong about something, and to stand corrected, is a human trait...it has nothing to do with America. 08:25:31
woofmutt: And I explain to people all the time that the entire country of Mexico is no massed on our borders waiting to come in. 08:25:30
Zeta: I know what you mean and trust me, I always say: There's 300 million people in The U.S.A. you can't generalize! diversity is the salt of the earth. 08:23:11
woofmutt: I would have to say in general that apologizing is sort of un-Unitedstatesofamerican. Particularly in an official capacity. I can see how a fellow American would assume that all Unitedstatesofamericans would be incapable of apologizing. 08:21:34
woofmutt: As a Unitedstatesofamerican I am used to broad generalizations from the rest of the world's citizens and don't take offense at any that don't describe me. 08:18:29
woofmutt: I had surprised fellow Unitedstatesofamericans for sometime with the info that Mexico was actually the United States of Mexico. But recently I have seen it as United Mexican States. I double checked this on Wikipedia. I prefer United States of Mexico as it's more shocking to most Unitedstatesofamericans who think we're the only "united states." Wikipedia 0 Zeta 1 08:17:21
Zeta: I know... sorry for that. I said it based on my empiric experience with my girlfriend. 08:17:06
little lost tiki: America! Feck yeah! 08:16:40
Babalu: I dug the "United States of Whatever" video - lol...however, the words "apologizing is Un-American is all kinds of f*ucked up! 08:15:03
Zeta: idontcareican 08:10:19
Zeta: but whatever... United States of Whatever ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz7_3n7xyDg 08:07:42
Zeta: The woof said: "such as those form The United Mexican States being simply called "Mexicans."" The oficial name is Estados Unidos Mexicanos which translates to United States of Mexico 08:03:16
Zeta: Apologizing is Un-American 08:00:48
woofmutt: I love that Blasters song. And the Violent Femmes American Music. 07:52:09
woofmutt: You don't have to apologize, I merely saw something I could leap on and say "Ah-ha!" I'm sure I've done it before. It's part of the standard humorous/dismissive response rhetoric. 07:51:28
Babalu: American Music 07:50:08

How do I collect my hundred bucks?
