incessant talkers

Kosmo nailed it, it's now just a moronic thing people yell without really knowing why, and like an overused line on Saturday Night Live, people laugh just cause they're conditioned to.

you're so wrong on this one. so, so wrong.

1) it was funny the first couple of times someone did it

2) then it stopped being funny

3) then it became ironic, and funny again

4) then too many people saw the irony and it wasn't funny anymore

5) then people found the fact that too many people saw the irony ironic, and it became funny again

now, it's somewhere in between #16 and #19 on the list, i contend it's still "kind of funny"

OWNED!!!

i content that bands that hear it on a nightly basis don't think it's funny anymore… than again many acts have in ear monitors that can block out crowd noise thus making it even more pointless to make requests. and what effect do these in ear monitors have on a bands ability to truly guage an audiences response, and thus be able to "feed" of their energy..

But now they use "audience mics" on the sides of the stage to attempt to hear the audience with those in ear monitors so it all comes around again…

Dude, steps 1 through 5 all happened within the first two or three months from the time the first person did it.

They didn't have irony in the 70's though.

I always wanted to scream out the line from the Beavis and Butthead episode where they go to the big concert (and never get it) "Rock and roll, wee-hooo! (bleach as the guy pukes".

I put people who say things like "OWNED" in the same category as people who still yell "Freebird." ;)

How do you feel regarding people who fret obsessively about atmospheric carbon dioxide levels?

I use owned quite a bit. Someone at a club might think I'm a moron, overhearing me constantly using the phrase "owned." Too bad they don't know I'm sarcastic, like, 99% of the time.
