This is a thread where you can post audio or video or whatever of yourself playing a musical instrument.  Any instrument, any style of music.  However, you must be of Samoan extraction.

My first submission is a cover of Zeppelin's Communication Breakdown.  I'm playing drums.  Two strangers you aren't familiar with are playing bass and guitar.

Yeah, I mess up when I'm playing.  I'm not a pro.  Blow me.

Just finished watching a two part episode from season 7, Gambit.  Captain Picard gets kidnapped by a crew of space roaming mercenaries who go around stealing valuable artifacts.  They're pursuing these Vulcan artifacts that, when assembled together, form some sort of extremely powerful weapon.

Here's what the weapon turns out to look like:



Basically, if someone points it at you and you have negativity in your heart, it will kill you.  That's right... an entire two part episode where the payoff at the end amounts to a gaudy garage door opener.  Episode wise, i think this story line was one of the biggest failures of the entire series.  Just laaaaame city.  Shitsville.

Edit:  Another really awful episode from season 7 is the one where Data turns into some sort of ancient sun god.  WOW is that one hard to watch.

STTNG is the only series from the whole Star Trek franchise that I care about.  The Original Series, DS9, Voyager, bleh... none of it ever grabbed me.

Curtis Thornton (themudking) and I do a technology podcast called The Spec Sheet.  Some of you are already aware of this.  On the November 5th show (which you can listen to here), George Noory called in as we spoke about Art's departure from SiriusXM.  During the call, George mentioned he'd like to reappear on the show and take questions from all of you without limitation.  He mentioned a private message he'd sent to me about the matter, but I hadn't read the message at the time he mentioned it.  Well, yesterday I finally got around to reading the message.


It says pretty much what he said it would, with one additional bit.  In order to appear on our show, he wants the George Noory Sucks thread to be removed and replaced with something more "positive."  Again, I say... this guy's got some balls.  Wrecking balls.  The type that take down fortified steel structures.


George, we get it.  You came on the show, you were nice, admitted a few faults, answered a couple of my ill conceived questions, and generally made a couple of friends.  However, I don't see how this changes anything with regard to the ongoing existence of the GNS thread.  It's merely a repository of thoughts and opinions people have expressed about you and/or your show.  Sure, those thoughts and opinions aren't always positive, but based on the name of the thread, one shouldn't expect them to be.  The thread is packed with comedy gold, history, references to long forgotten events, and general brilliance.  Rather than delete it, I'd like to have it professionally printed and sold at B&N.


The GNS thread is what it is.  It sprouted organically, it's responsible for the very existence of this forum, and it's here to stay.  Also, George, you've been posting in that thread for some time now, which as I see things, seems to even further demonstrate the thread's validity.


Godspeed, onward and upward, and don't stop believin'.

BellGab will undergo maintenance starting this evening.  We're moving the entire forum to a new server to accommodate the mountain of traffic during Art's show.  You will be unable to access the forum during this period.  Some of you will be locked out for only a short period of time, while others might be unable to access BellGab for up to 36 hours.  It depends how quickly your Internet Service Provider updates their DNS.

Use OpenDNS to avoid the wait.  A tutorial on how to use OpenDns with Windows7 can be found here.

Instructions for XP users are here.
