MOG

sometimes i am un-american too flux. Crop till your fingers bleed buddy.

Hey, chin up. Anna's giving away candy.

In MOG's defense, the limiting of access has more to do with the sad state of the modern music business and less with being an American. This one is caused by the provider and content owners and their fear that people might listen to and enjoy their products.

Sarcasm with vanilla on top, eh? Hope it's not all directed towards the Mediterranean. Unless I got something wrong.

We share the same pain... Not even living in S.A. made me feel this _apartheid_ed. Mogdela, you're the man, and I hope they don't send you back to prison for this.

Free Fluxy Mogdela!!

Meh, just keep looking for the red dots to listen to full tracks.

Keep the faith Flux... keep the faith.

bravo!

I apologize, on the behalf of all the harm we American bastards have done to your musical listening endeavors = P

Also, the Nelson Mogdela bit gave me a good laugh, thanks for that.

How does one make a sarcastic emoticon? I'll investigate that and get right back to you...no really, I will...just wait a second...

"Of course, none of these mealy-mouthed Un-Americans ever say anything positive. So, I'll finish by praising my favorite new feature -- the picture cropper."

Briliant humor Colin. You are the man. Thanks for helping me get through the day. I look forward to the day our pint glasses touch.

Flux, my man! Well said. And look! You can still post a non-edited mp3 of your own. E Pluribus MOG!

Oh' c'mon Flux . . . it's not like the rest of the world matters, anyway. Sheeesh!

Thanks to those who got this post. Sorry about those who didn't. I wanted to distill some of the more extreme reactions (for and against) that I witnessed yesterday. It's just one Paddy's view of the Mog landscape, nothing personal.

For the record, I was one of those who tested the system, and liked almost everything. (Indeed, I found the picture cropper very well designed.) Rhapsody is not really my thing (I'm an emusic man) so the main problem I had was with the terrible new player. And, like most non-US residents I spoke to yesterday, I was annoyed when I realized that we can only listen to 30 seconds of many Moggers' music. It ain't "meh" to us, believe me.

NB--No Mediterranean people were supposed to be hurt in the making of this post.

C, your favored form of utterance is not lost to me, owing perhaps to my astute sense of observation. however, the same human ability is so far proving ineffective in my quest to enjoy certain new killer arrivals. relatedly, "cosmic irony is when a higher being or force interferes in a character's life, creating ironic settings."

In other words: fuck them motherfuckers. Hmm, strong stuff, Ilay.

One of my favorite books is Ishiguro's Remains of the Day. You sound like the uptight butler hero, Stevens. "your favored form of utterance is not lost to me" Haha, love it.

I want to touch Fluxer's pint glass too! Cheers to the bright side...You're awesome!

SunnyD? a threesome aye? ;)

Hahaha! Man...your mind is so far in the gutter, must be that _adult industry trade show business_ ..._humm_?

Shot...my beer~wine~cocktail glasses kiss (cheers-silly)...other people's glasses all the time, so I don't think it'd be a problem for our pints to have a threesome, but we should definitely clear it with Flux too!

; )

Yeah. We should get clearence from Colin. Colin, can we all get together and have a toast someday?

Flux, Being Un-American is a whole industry, but tread lightly my man, lest you be put on the undesirable list due to the Homeland Security Act,

Because if that happens the only way you'll touch anything of Mikes' is if he travels your way. Come to think of it, I heard of a brewery out your way that both Mike and I would love to tour.

I think it's called Guinness or something.

Keep the faith.

@ Sunny D & Mike - Disgusting! (When's the meet-up?)

@ Ketut - You krazy kat. Is this another Dachmo situ? Where somebody comes along to my Mog, half-reads the headline, then comments with some krazy stuff. I'm Un-American as in "I'm not from America". I'm playing with the phrase, is all. Surely Bushy would understand that if/when HS come to take me away? Okay, maybe not. Warning taken.

Any time for the Guinness factory, guys. But it ain't no tour. It's a place of freakin' worship.

_Guinness Factory, Dublin_

Like this?

Man, they have Guinness factories everywhere now.

I would love to come that way. There is the slight chance I come to Ireland in the spring with my girlfriend. Her family is going to visit relatives in Dungiven, up north. If I come I will have to do my pilgrimage to the sacred place of holy water.

Where's the meet up...

a Guiness factory? Is that place of worship worthy?

Oh how the fermentation gods have smiled on Ireland. The blackend holy water known as Guinness has graced my lips more then once. I could be a priest.

Colin, once again you've risen to the occasion with your keen talent for comical observation. I suppose it remains to be seen whether the glass will remain half full or half empty ... but in the meantime, Sláinte! (one for you, one for me!)

Erin...there is three there.....please tell me I get the third one.

Mike, you are quite right ... I forgot to tell you that I am double-fisted drinker ... but anything for you my friend. ;)

two fisted drinker aye? Hmm. well, can I lick the foam off the side then? ...it looks sooooo creamy good! mmmmm

@ Ketut - Well, look me up if you make it out of the North. Tip: Bring a tin hat.

@ Sunny D - It's convenient, at least.

@ Father Mike - Extremely well put. Alcoholic beverages sure bring out the poet in you.

@ Erin - Wow, Mandela's years of anguish were worth it if it produced songs as good as that! Thanks for posting.

At the moment I'm playing one of my faves on repeat:

Careful with those pints, guys!

I was in a pub in town last Friday. One guy turned to his friend: "Lovely staff. But the pint's shit." And they left.

Why am I being left out of the round of pints... selfish dehydraholics! : P

Turning away heading to local bar alone

You wouldn't be alone for long, missus!

Btw, have you got a file on your HD marked "Lovely Girls For Mog Posts"?

Peeking at my files Mr.?

Referring to my bundle of girl pictures...I seem to have one for every mood and gesture...hehehe!

Sir Mogdela, I was almost entirely unaware of this post, I had reviewed it when it first popped up but never saw the drawn out version that it would become. I really didn't intend to jump on your coat-tails with my AUAA video post but none-the-less it worked out pretty well. Give my love to Winnie, (oh wait, she divorced your skinny jailhouse ass didn't she?)

30 seconds is all you really need....good spirit Flux.....though I hear synchronized swimming is great this time of year, eh Colin????

It is not like we left you out SunnyH. It is just I tried to claim to Erin's extra beer before you did. But since she likes to two fist her beers, that means I am available. I will drink with you.

wait....Ike Turner died?

keep on croppin'

Brilliant post.

This is my first visit of the new site. It looks faster... I'll reserve my judgement for later.

So far Flux, your wits have proved most effective in reviewing the new improved formula of MOG.

i am glad no mediterraneans were harmed in the process.

@ David - No, I divorced _her_ ass. I was safer in jail than with Winnie.

@ Tyler - This time of year, eh? I bow to your expertise on the subject!

@ Mike - Why is everybody suddenly talking about fisting on my Mog? I run a clean ship here!

@ Lyrikhan - If only Ike had married Winnie. He woulda been dead a lot sooner.

@ Michael - Hey, great to see you back! There's some good, some bad for the Un-Americans. See what you think.

@ Danny - Mediterraneans were not exactly my target, no.

Colin. Ahh yes. That thought had crossed my mind. I just decided to "not go there". But since you did....

Here's another.

Just learning still, I thought that this thread had died down, but of course since it's about the nectar of the gods' it will stay alive.

This used to be my avatar. life size.

I'll drink to that!

Aye, it's a popular drink, all right.

AHHHHHH - that just scared the hell out of me! lol That better be tiny 'pint' - if I had one of these rodents that friggin big I'd need to get a bigger trap! Please .. give me the little shot of elixir - put some curare in that furry bastard's drink will ya?!

hey! i am very late! i want in on the touching of pint glasses! my choirgirl experience would fit your place of worship!

@ FastRMacR - Heh! "We're gonna need a bigger...trap."

@ Ilay - Whatever you do, don't forget the choir girl outfit!

I'm confused.

So am I. Why did this nonsense get 53 comments?

erm WHAT the hell are you talking about man?

Just entertaining my Trusteds, Pimp. Thanks for stopping by.

haha. it WAS entertaining!
