I've never seen Daria smash a pumpkin, but I've seen people dedicated to stranger things.
Are you thinking of Gallagher?
lol
Here's a thought... Can't you just imagine Jane geting into a Gallagher-type art thing and performing before the whole school. Now who would she & Daria want in the front row? And what type of materials might she use?

Man, that would be so cool. I went to Wildwood (a shore resort town in NJ) last week, and we missed Gallagher at the comedy club by a week! Darn it!

Gallagher performed at my county fair last year (no, I don't know *why,* for the same reason Kansas performed there this year, I suppose) but I was out of town that weekend. :-(

I guess we're not talking about Noel Gallagher here? Apart from Liam, he's the only Gallagher I can think of offhand. Did you hear they just lost a second band player? Losing one might be considered a misfortune but two is sheer carelessness... maybe Trent could apply to join Oasis...
-Shez.
Gallagher is a sort of performance artist/comedian who smashes things like watermelons with a huge mallet all over his audience... or at least those in the first few rows. ps. if your tickets are for the first few rows, you really want to bring a slicker or tarp.

what about the fall? have a new lineup for every gig, almost. ;)
my mum likes oasis. she is demanding tickets to one of their shows in march, as a birthday present. i'm not sure what she'd make of there being a cartoon character on the stage.

I liked everything they recorded up until the moment they released "Wonderwall", which I thought was a huge Beatles ripoff, then I saw them turn themselves into Beatles soundalikes, which put me off buying "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?", even though I thought the title track kicked major butt and loved it to bits (being the TRUE glam rock fan that I am). My boyfriend doesn't like them mainly because he knew Liam way back when he was a drug pusher and he saw Liam sell drugs to little kids on school grounds...but then again he said "but Liam did buy me a few drinks at a pub...I'm easily bought". (btw -- my boyfriend's from the same area, Manchester, that area, y'know)

I thought that was the whole idea, didn't they start life as just a Beatles copycat band before they hit the big time?
Wonderwall is what made me like Oasis, until then they were just another band and I couldn't understand why they were so big. There was this constant hyping by the media over which was the biggest band, Blur or Oasis, but I'd never really bothered to listen to either group, as neither seemed to be anything special. But then I saw the video of Wonderwall, with Liam sat there with his John Lennon shades on, and realised they were supposed to be the Beatles, 90's style. I went out and bought What's the Story and was immediately struck by the clever pastiche of 60's/70's nostalgia, an incredibly rich sound with all sorts of subtle echoes in it. I don't think there's a weak track on the album at all, and it all fits together as a harmonious whole too. Mind you I thought the follow up album, Be Here Now, was rubbish. I foolishly bought it before I'd heard it, on the strength of the hype and initial good reviews. Actually I rarely listen to Oasis at all any more, it's just one of those phases you go through I think.

I remember "Definitely Maybe" being a real glam sort of album, which I thought was fantastic. I even have a copy of it and play it often. Same sentiments go to "Morning Glory" the song. So that's what I kinda associated them with first...then when they tried to sound like the Beatles I was at first disappointed, then irate. Ah well.
I will say, I did like "Wonderwall" the first few times I'd heard it. But then it started getting more than heavy rotation on MTV *and* VH-1 and it started to grate on me. Then I saw what they next released...I forget the name of the song...and thought, "shit, they're trying to sound like the Beatles". I should go pick up the album, though, if only for the title track and maybe a few hidden, undiscovered gems. One admission...I do think Noel Gallagher is a fine musician. I think he'd go really far if he decided to become a solo artist.
I don't ever buy releases just because they're positively reviewed (see post re: music critics). What I usually do is wait for three singles from the album to be released and then decide if I want to get it. I have to have at least three songs on there that are listenable to me. Of course, this rule does not apply to Duran Duran. Or, increasingly more it seems, Japan.
As for Oasis being a "phase"...I dunno, I still listen to "Definitely Maybe". And think it's good. Then again I bought it because it met my stringent guidelines (see above), which means I'll listen to it whenever, even when it's not cool to listen to it.

I'm kinda hurt here. I have a feeling no one went to my site. poo. I have no idea what oasis and the guy that smashes watermelons has to do with daria. wait, never mind, i remember now. Well, the least you could do is read my tribute to the spork. I'm sure you'll find it very informative. thanks or something!

I wonder, what does it mean when you start dreaming about Daria? Can it be a good thing when Daria and Trent start talking to you like Shakespearean actors? Am I an addict if I post to ATD in my dreams? (Hello, My name is Marie and... nah). Come to think of it there were some interesting topics... Does Trent have a silver lining? Is Quinn really a pixie? Anyway, hope I didn't wake you... go back to sleep... That's it, no more pistachios and root beer before bed! This has been a message from Marie's still sleeping brain, do not attempt to understand it, if it hads been a real message... nevermind. Oh, and fly free Mr O'neil, fly free.

What is a "pixie"?

p.s.: I want to add a question of my own:
Should I reduce my dosage of atd if I catch myself talking to myself in _English_ more and more often?
Hmm, I know at least one person who will be disappointed by this news... So what does it mean when I dream of Charlie Sheen, Keifer Sutherland, and Oliver Platt (all with long hair and beards)????
Aww, come on, can't you just picture Daria and Trent doing an animated remake of "William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet" (Leo eat your heart out)? I mean, like, isn't a rose by another name a tulip... wait, that isn't right!
So, I guess my next question is: Is there a suppost group or something for us? Oh well, there's certainly worse things to be addicted to.
I dunno... those were just a couple of the thread subject lines... They didn't seem unusual while I was dreaming...
I think a pixie is like a little winged elf-type creature... like a fairy.
Oh my God! I've been doing that too! Hey, wait a minute...

hehe Jordan should know... or is this gonna turn into alt.books.kurt-vonnegut where they answer to everything becomes because he/she is a homosexual? Because someone posted something about why there's lots of gay characters in Vonnegut's novels. So our Resident Smart Ass started answer every question with like "Because you're gay"

But it's sheer crap being one. Trust me, I wish I was still a teen. When you're 20 it's like adulthood purgatory. You feel too young to be a full adult, but you certainly can't join in with the teens. So 20 is the absolute WORST year to be. 21...I'm dreading slightly less. But in this newsgroup I might as well show up with a wheelchair if I become any higher aged person.
Ah well, at least I'm in a relationship. Don't have to worry about the idiots -- ahem, I mean 20-year-old college guys -- now.

p.s.: I never seem to fit in anywhere age-wise, don't I? I mean, "Daria"'s supposed to be this TV show for teens, right? And Duran Duran's supposed to be this group only people in their late 20s - early 30s are supposed to like, right? So...wtf? (confused)
Great. Like the rest of my life hasn't been hellish enough, now I have purgatory-on-earth to look forward to?

Hey, happy birthday-5!
I don't think 20 is any different to 19, unless your incept date is up. Turning 18 made a difference as I could legally drink in pubs, but apart from that each birthday is just a long slow decline into dotage. There seems to come a point around 25 where you have to start exercising to stay fit though, you can't seem to rely on your youthful suppleness to exist of its own accord any more. It was also around then that I began to feel I was a bit old to be hanging out with teenagers...

I realize now that I was too old to be hanging out with teenagers when I WAS a teenager. Other people had previously made that very observation. I just never had anything in common with these...these...children. Now I'm much older, I'm hanging out in a newsgroup with teenagers, and I really can't tell much difference. I suspect the reason is that these teenagers are really quite sophisticated. I think when you're smart you can interact with a much broader age range of people than can the brainless twerps so many teenagers are. That's the key--intelligence--bridging the generations.
The only time to worry about birthdays is when you stop having them. Meanwhile, try to have some fun and don't let it bother you.
Or when you can no longer remember how old you are...

(Or so the 'shippers have told us. Over. And Over. And Over.) And 20 looks pretty damn good when you turn 25. Just enjoy the now, and don't rush so fast into tomorrow. It'll still be there (and faster than you think), even if you manage to savor every moment.

Hey! Ziggy!
well I'm either The Laziest Person in the World or The Most Responsible, depending on who you ask. I'm responsible because I don't get a paycheck and immediately spend it all on a skirt. I'm irresponsible because I write my English assignments due fourth hour during first hour math class, but I get good grades on said papers, so I'm still studious, unless you ask the math teacher, in which case I'm no-brained. I'm not really wild and impulsive, just lazy.
