Superthread LXXIV: Remembering Dead Musicians Who You Now Pretend to Like

[Misanthrope]

What an overhyped mess.

If Mel had a sense of humour, this wouldn't be an issue.

 

[Bazal]

Gayle is a monumental tosser. Theres a reason the Windies refuse to pick him

You're suggesting naturally farmed produce is genetically modified?

Not sure what you're trying to say...

Im not suggesting it at all. Im telling you its absolute fact. Ever seen wild corn? Just because the modifications yook generations of selective growing and breeding doesn't mean its not modification

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Just for the record I'd do many dirty disgusting things to mel. Gayle has at least one decent defence on his side

I believe them to be very different things. One is working with the grain, one is overriding the grain. Its a principle of difference.

 

[Bazal]

How is breeding a gene in or out of a genome any different to splicing it in there in anyway bar time? What about grapes? Fruit? You can physically graft one kind onto another to override or hybridise the existing genome, how is that any different?

 

[Misanthrope]

Got my new glasses today after ten months without them.

f**k me, it's an adjustment. At first I could barely see and they made me super dizzy, and now I'm wondering how I survived without them.

They dont pick him because he's not available, he plays in the big wank

He was interviewed a while back and said he is considering playing test cricket again as the Windies are in deep shit.

 

[God-King Dean]

As if West Indies are leaving Gayle out by choice

 

[Misanthrope]

They've just got to much talent on the park. There's no reason for a tail end batter like Chris Gayle.

If they're dropping people for having a shit attitude, maybe Marlon Samuels can give Mel a ring.

 

[Bazal]

Marlon hasn't personally told the board to stick it. They're better off without Gayle

 

[Twizzle]

He's 36 now but he certainly backs himself to be good enough to help the team out.

Watching Drew eat his non-GMO food like this:

 

[Misanthrope]

f**k vegans.

Eat what you want, but don't keep reminding me what a sacrifice you're making for the planet/the animals.

Self righteous merkins.

Morning

 

[Skinner]

global warming my arse

its 25 degrees up here in the middle of summer

Can you please fix that situation prior to March 3. TIA.

 

[Twizzle]

no problems

I think the principle point is how it is done. Fiddling in a vineyard with some grapes is one thing. Fiddling in a lab where the grape is out of its environment means, at least to me, that the adjustments aren't natural (per se), but the grape is essentially forced to make it work when in its real state it might reject the change.

I realise this might seem ridiculous, but I have an appreciation of the natural order of things in as far as agriculture relies on working with the grape or other flora / fauna, rather than overriding the original make up.

:lol:

 

[McLovin]

still raining

 

[Misanthrope]

Cleared up nicely out our way. The occasional rumble of distant thunder, but blue skies overhead!

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Definitely still raining here in Hurstville.
