That reminds me of something recent.
Quick Question: please raise your hand if you know someone (ie no need to self-identify) who would be offended by a set of promotional images featuring a man and a woman, around 30 years old. They are dressed normally. Totally nothing out of the ordinary. Just standing there.
Are there any (truly) offensive or off-putting (to you or someone you know) things about this image?
cheers

Nothing I can think of. Mind you, some peoples idea of "normal dress" is ... um ... a little odd.

Yeah, but when a bug gets in the house who, even Mom, do they call?
That's right, Dad, the Bugslayer.

You have to call them for this. Mine have always had a bug radar, even when asleep.

It's more like passive sonar, but you are right.

depends on the bug. I won't go near spiders. All mom's thing on that. But mice, snakes and other criters. I get to take care of them. Or the dog does.

At my house, we bring in a chicken or two. There is always one or two handing around any door, especially when it is either very hot or very cold outside.

The first few minutes of Idiocracy did a great job, I thought, of explain how it is, in fact, those who don't know anything at all who have the most kids.

Let#s start a poll. I'm going to be in the highest ranks, unless we have someone here who has a proud negative score.

Excellent! I've shared that with a few people.
Though, there are a few other ways to answer that subject line!

Ulver - Machine Guns and Peacock Feathers[^]
Ulver recently released a new album and it's awesome!
They started out in the early 90's as a typical 2nd wave of black metal band.
However, subsequent releases featured traditional folk, electronic, ambient and experimental rock music (and little to no black metal).
The new album is heavily influenced by the 80's, especially Depeche Mode.
While their style is pretty eclectic, their quality is consistent.
Machine Guns and Peacocks Feathers is especially poppy and its catchiness made it into Sound of the Week!

Not bad. Since not much new this week, here's two of the all-time greatest synth lines in music:
The Who - Baba O'Riley
Boston - Foreplay
And there was a little new: Captain Hook - Origin (with great visuals for over an hour of trippy greatness!)
Any other contenders for synth awesomeness? Can they knock those two off their throne?
Have a great day!

The Captain Hook one is really nice.
Although I never get why these trance albums always have to be 1+ hours 
Personally, I lose interest after about 45 minutes, for any music by the way.
Maybe there are a few really nice albums that are longer that I can listen to, but I couldn't name them right now.
I'm not that much into The Who and Boston, but they're nice.

The topic was memorable synth riffs. And you missed the greater humor in my response. Go listen to the lyrics of the song you recommended (that doesn't have any memorable synth riffs in it).
But nah, I've never really gotten into Ultravox. They are OK, but don't grab my attention.

Now you are getting into some that are actually contenders! Won't take the throne, but do contend!

Van Halen is above the throne and not a contender.
They're the untouchable judge and jury.
I once witnessed some sound check guy playing that intro on the keyboard and he got a bigger applause than the main act and probably than any band that played on Wacken that year
