I am riding on a crest of smug
My band was roped into representing our uni in a battle-of-the-bands type affair between two universities. 3 bands from each, 4 judges, highest combined score is the winning university.

We didn't realise it was being taken quite so seriously, we'd just viewed it as a chance to flaunt our existence in front of a fresh crowd. And in the end the judges rated us a good 3 or 4 points higher than any other band, ultimately winning the competition.

SMUG CROW IS SMUG.

(bamboozled Can hear you getting fatter, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:20, Reply)

Actually I do sing. And I do make a terrible racket doing so
Also bass guitar.

I don't trust singing bassists...

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:22, Reply)

Sting, granted, is a cock
But Brian Wilson and Lemmy, I think, make acceptable if contrasting counterexamples.

And of course, John Entwistle's heartfelt delivery of Boris the Spider...

See!
Although that Tommy from Space is a very nice chap, so I'm not doing too well here.

The thing about bassists is
they have the least to do with their hands, so they have time to flap their jaws.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:30, Reply)

I like bassists and I like singers.
Hell, who am I kidding I like all musicians.
But playing bass and singing makes me suspicious.

For example, Level 42. A kiddie-fiddler if I ever saw one.

Slap bass is for shirters and kiddie-fiddlers anyway

Level 42
are named after the Metropolitan Police's paedo danger rating for Mark King. FACT that I just made up.

Good enough for me.
I will state that as a fact at every available opportunity.
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 13:41, Reply)

Slander!
You have no idea how busy I keep my hands.
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:36, Reply)

Not on stage, surely.
Have a wank before the gig.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:39, Reply)

Even if I do
It's still not as satisfying as clasping 34" of tempered wood in your hand...

I like the sound of crows.
When I see a crow it's good luck for me.
I had a favourite crow that I used to see from the window at school.
It looked like it had a fringe.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:22, Reply)

Crows make me smile

If I sleep with the window open then I can be woken up by a chorus of crows in the tree nearby. (May have to wait for the temperatures to pick up first though)
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:24, Reply)

They make me smile dude
I don't see enough of them, but then it's more special when I do.
I saw a crow getting bullied by two magpies once. I told the fuckers what's what.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:28, Reply)

Evil magpies
They're both black and white so they're racist to everyone.

There used to be magpies hanging outside my old flat, but they'd only come out one at a time so I would get bad luck for the rest of the day.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:32, Reply)

They're everywhere
We need a cull.
My mum saw two picking on a cat and my uncle saw one chasing a rat.

A friend of mine saw a Sparrowhawk take a Magpie on the weekend
It was very suprised. I'm waiting for pics.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:36, Reply)

do magpies really steal shiny things
or is that a myth?
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:47, Reply)

Crows steal shiny things to decorate their nests.
not very unusual in the bird world
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:54, Reply)

but when I do it
there's hue and cry!
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:54, Reply)

Are you usually dressed as a crow when you shoplift?
Try to dress down when you want to steal something.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Wed 3 Mar 2010, 12:57, Reply)

Now that you've said that
I really want to dress as a crow and wander round some shops.
