Give it a rest. You’re ranting and totally pointless. Did you’re wife leave you this morning, or this decade, for the Iranian guy?

BTW, I don’t live in the US or one of its territories. That’s what, three places in the world? There are at least 193 more, as you probably don’t know.
#7
I like your new word “whinger” – I’m going to start using it. It’s cool
#22
The other 193 don’t count, you whinger. Whing that up your whingdangdoodle. Noodle.
#22 named, So, what country do you hail from?
24,
Canada. Or as Pat Buchanan likes to call it, Soviet Cannuckistan.
Of course, with the US treasury handing out taxpayer billions like it was a capitalist fire sale, I guess the Soviet moniker will start migrating south of the 49th!
23,
Don’t people from Montana hate America for having a federal government? That’s why you and 7 other people (all your family I imagine?) occupy the state? Though your comment was funny, I did have to reply…
#25 Named, “Of course, with the US treasury handing out taxpayer billions like it was a capitalist fire sale, I guess the Soviet moniker will start migrating south of the 49th!”
No kidding! The Communist slide has just begun. Stay tuned. LOL
#21 said: “Give it a rest. You’re ranting and totally pointless. Did you’re (sic) wife leave you this morning, or this decade, for the Iranian guy?”
And keeping the schizophrenic behavior, repeated the same post (and mistake) twice.
You do know what projection is, right? In case you don’t know, it’s what you’re doing in your posts.
And you cannot see the videos in Canada? something’s not adding up.
I blame the US for not allowing you to ever watch MTV. That is, if you really live there.
Only a twit would think MTV was “really cool.” Fools.
how many of you out there remember debating who was the no. 1 video for the day, def leppard or guns and f’n roses??? hehehe… i miss the old mtv when they played all kinds of music, not just reality shows all day long
On MTV Europe, they show episodes of Dirty Sanchez. I’m betting they don’t show that in the USA, and you Ameros don’t know what Dirty Sanchez is. Imagine Jackass + Substances – Clothes + Bodily Fluids – Humour. Doubleplus ungood: one more reason not to watch MTV any more. #

Network flubs are odd. Sometimes you get a timeout, and causes a “Resend” to trigger, which brings back an incomplete post. When I modify the document and resubmit, both posts appear. It happens. Network access is pretty buggy today.
And yes, I live in Canada. Wonderful country.
Remember, I made a jest “you insensitive clod” and you suggested suicide. And, as is very obvious, you’re a psychopath with no memory. Good luck to you. I guess the election has really got you down… Or maybe the guy that’s having your wife.
Hoping after the election everyone here returns to more mature posting. Lately it’s going the way of Digg.
#25
Whing back at’cha. Whing you very much. There’s actually 700 of us now – you have to include all the Canadians who moved down here to get some health care without standing in line for months.
#31 Time to take your Aldol.
33,
Yeah… waiting in line. good one! I guess it’s not as good as just plain old dying or going bankrupt over an ingrown toenail… You guys are so lucky! At least the Canadians bring down a different gene pool to help out with the incest… I guess you could say you owe them.
It’s obvious that #34 pedro is the product of your American education system AND it’s healthcare… a total waste.
#15 Padded-o: I guess your 1881 steam powered stereo with the groovy gas lamps and coal shute didn’t have the right inputs to connect to 1981 hardware, but even the preamp/power amp I built in the late 60′s had RCA jacks.
Brendal and Paddy-O, the troll twins are at it again.
That Christopher Walken piece was CLASSIC…I have never seen it, or MTV for many many years. But for the love of God, Named… get your ass over to You Tube and see it.

I remember back in 1980 when MTV first started they only had 100 videos and they played them over and over and over again. 10cc was a horrible british band but through sheer playrepitition they actually sold albums because of MTV. Same goes for the buggles.
#39 Hey! The Buggles became Yes & Asia afterwards.
But yes, they were shown because they had the right song at the right time for MTV.
