Aural Moon Laws
 

#1. You will always be called to a meeting when your request finally comes on. (pfd)

#2. You will always be at your desk with no meeting to attend to, listening to AM, when the 25-minute GYBE song comes on. (pfd)

#3. if #2 just played, then it's klause shultz. (dangerboy)

feel free to add.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

PFD,

Thank you for beginning the codification of these laws...:rawk:

#4 Your bladder will begin to scream just before your request starts - prompting a bathroom trip... followed by one to the coffee pot - to cause a recycle in time for your next request. :flutter:

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

This is really just 1A - If not a "Meeting" some other task or call of nature will arise pulling you away from your listening pleasure, etc.

New Rule

#5 - You will always join AM right at the tail in of your favorite artist or song playing, especially if it's a long epic.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#6 Rebuffering or loss of stream (LOS) will always occur when a free evening with no known obstacles in sight is available.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#7 As you are about to request a song, SAM plays the artist first... and your request is 'put off' for hours.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

These are great!

#8 Your request is next up.....after the Rickter Scale or the Gagliarchives ])

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#9 Someone will call on the phone and not stop talking till it's over.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#10 Log on to the Moon in the morning and request a song, loose track of time, realize you're late for work and miss your request and get in trouble with the powers that be. :aua: :deadhorse

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#11 - Unless you have a monitor you don't care about, coffee (or any other beverage) should only be drunk when there is no conversation in the shoutbox. Otherwise, be fully aware that it is quite common to experience uncontrollable spitting/splattering urges when laughing with mouth full of beverage.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#12 just as you hit your stride in the moon community and become a mainstay, your office will block the site ...truely :evil:

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#13 poor office internet connection will collapse when your request is up next...
stoopid school corp. ITwits...

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#14 after being absent for months, when you get the opportunity to log on...everyone is:
14a. gone
14b. busy
14c. afk

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#15. When you finally have decided to listen to one of those legendary Schulze epics, it comes The Loss Of The Factory (1:59)

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#17 when you're available to faff, some of your favorite people are not. (of course then you make new ones that disappear too 8O )

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

Dang, I was going to add that one.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

# 18. As soon as you think, "Man, we're playin good music today!" Spaz's request will play.


Beat that.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

No matter how much time, money, and effort you put into running Aural Moon, people will create a 2 page (so far) thread COMPLAINING about it...`-( R)

Did I beat your's Spaz?:neener:

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

Yes, based on the financial aspect alone. Although, to be fair, I don't think this is a complaint thread as much as a joke thread, ala Murphy's Law.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#19 No matter how many days off you have and get to Faff, the days that you can't get onto the Moon are the days that something REALLY interesting happens.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

You may have but you didn't number it.

Spaz and I went the self-deprecating route (see # 8). Knowing Mr G's propenstity for a joke, that's what I think this thread is! It's pretty funny...

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

Yeah, I started this thread purely as a joke...hope it's taken that way.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

oops I gave peter G credit for the thread....a thousand pardons (or a few hundred at least)

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#20....When faffing with Vax, the conversation will inevitably turn into a rant against Microsoft and Windows.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#21 A thread has no credence unless Rick gets in a Kings X reference.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

I was definitely joking! I was hoping the ROFL and NEENER smileys would make that clear.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#22 - No :smirk: matter `-( how :( many ;) emotocons (8-D you :blush: put -> in a :???: post :p someone :smoooch: will :lurk: always R) take it :bang!: the ]) wrong :headscrat way, :deadhorse causing an :dogpile: emotional pileup. :eek:

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#23 All the really interesting threads have at least 1 or more "emotional pileups"

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#24 The Larch

(ok Monty Python reference out of the way)

#25

Whenever a song plays with a hint of heaviness, someone will always compare it to Dream Theater.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

The Larch - Ha! All we could do was DREAM of The Larch when our family of 30 lived in a shoebox in the gutter during the great snowstorm of '48! That dream was all the firewood we had.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

Corollary to #25:

Whenever Dream Theater plays, someone will always compare it to prog. :eyes:

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#26 Just when you think it won't...it will...be mentioned (Dream Theater)

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#18: your favorite epic has a 50-50 chance of getting cut into multiple tracks just long enough to have the right flavor & wrong context

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

Absolutelly right...:D:D

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

I believe that should be #27

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#28 someone is always watching...keeping track and making corrections when when necessary :angel: (see above)

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#18 five minutes before your request the shroons kick in and the screen looks like a fish swimming.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#29 and someone always continues to lose count :headscrat

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#30 And the lovely, delectable poda always brings us back to Earth.......thanks man. ;) Fond memories there.

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

#31 - why is it that people working for you have to vacuum during your favorite song????

Re: Aural Moon Laws
 

It sucks, eh?

Pun intended!
