To whomever gets me for Secret Santa -
 
I could type up a list of all the things I like and in a few months I'll get an awesome package from one of you.  However, the coolest thing that my Secret Santa could do for me is to do something awesome for someone else.  While it's not that I wouldn't appreciate the gift I think it would be exponentially more rad to just surprise someone out of the blue.
 
So is there a fellow member of VC that you think is a good person that you could surprise?  What about just buying a toy or two for Toys for Tots?  Donate a couple hours of your time at a worthy cause?  Basically just do something awesome for someone else and I'll be thrilled. 

Just got this one in:

But then how will you know which Disturbed album is best?

Nice! This will be an excellent birthday record.

I never understood why "quitting buying" necessarily has to mean "selling my entire collection." How about just show some restraint and pull back for a while?
Just my two cents.

Records are coming in on Monday, expect to get your preorders in the mail, first week of October!  

Got the CD + 7" today.

Except for the whole listening to it thing.

Whichever member is manning this account needs to fuck off.  And probably reevaluate what they're doing with their life.

I'm just really confused as to why this is an import to begin with.

I paid $17 for mine in August 2010.... What a difference 3 years makes. Especially people who are accepting the $40 2XLP as the standard. You're the reason the retail prices will continue onward and upward.

Did you tell her that you're not her friend, you're just a man who knows how it feels?

Got the CD + 7" today.

Collect them all and try to reassemble?

You know what? I have learned something in this thread. Not that people love this album. Not that there is a population of people on here with serious social issues who are intimidated by the presence of a young women here. I have learned that we really need to get the Like button features back, because damn I would appear so much cooler if everyone could see all these likes that my posts have been getting.

well then ONE HUNDRED cool points!!!

TWY is an awful pressing.

$119PPD PMMEBRO

Enemy... fuck.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I feel like we all need to get on the same page, before this thing escalates into even further confusion.
 
Allow me to say this: lahispute's gender is irrelevant as far as the roasting or flaming goes.  She isn't receiving flack because she's a girl, or because "we're all sexist pigs".  She's being ridiculed because;
 
- She's new.
- She's exceptionally gullible.
- Her username is dedicated to La Dispute.
- ...Of whom she tried to dedicate a thread to, and ended up deleting when fellow members voiced an opposing opinion.
- The majority of her posts read like something written by a girl in junior high.
- She tries to BFF anyone who sticks up for her.
- She tries to BFF anyone who doesn't necessary disagree with her.
- She tries to BFF anyone who isn't completely negative towards her.
 
Honestly, that's all flame bait.  The fact she has a rack does not make her impervious to it.  Sorry, guys.  While I agree that there's no reason to get nasty or sexist, I would also say that it's arguably sexist to "let her off the hook" by shiting on anyone who calls her out.  Like many people have said, that's part of VC membership.  A rite of passage, if you will.  Would we all have eased up off of Teenage Eric if he were a girl?  Let's be real.
 
And that patthickey kid is a joke.  I've read maybe one or two comments in this entire thread that could be perceived as sexist.  No one is playing the "get off of VC and back into the kitchen to make me a sandwich" card, nor are there dudes posting sexual jabs or being foul.  Way to blow things out of proportion, hickey.  And as far as updating status / blogs / tweets / whatever: I envy your life if an internet scuffle is that traumatic for you.  You're in for a rude awakening if you ever step out into the real world and witness legitimate sexual harassment or domestic abuse.  And calling out the dozens of members who choose to not fan this flame?  Guys like myself who've read this thread without feeling the need to dive into the shit-storm, up until now?  Piss off, man.  You're a tool for trying to shame anyone who's above all the shit in this thread.  Someone had to say it.

I wish I could like this more than once.

So in other words, only the highest quality.

there once was, say 16 pages back

Liking posts in this thread shouldn't count against a quota anymore.
