I've never cheated on my girlfriend, and I wouldn't either. Her brother got married when we'd been together a couple of years, then he had a kid (his name is Jasper, he's mega bright, he's now 7 and he's a good friend of mine, I've been babysitting him since he was born), last summer he started an affair with a woman at work and now he's separated from his wife. His kid is now doing weird shit like licking his hands to make them sore, and sucking the neck of his T-shirt until the whole front of his shirt is soaking wet. Yay marriage.
See above. My two best friends from childhood have kids now. One got married quite early and then had a daughter (who is great fun - again I am good friends with her), then his wife ran off with the drummer in his band. Thankfully his daughter has dealt with it all quite well, he's divorced now despite going into the relationship with the best of intentions.
My other friend has a little boy who's the same age (10), he and his wife got married when the boy was 7. I was his best man and his boy - again a good friend - shadowed me through the whole ceremony. They only got married because the boy was coming to them with questions from his school mates about surnames and so on. They're still a happy couple but they were fine before they got married, it hasn't benefitted them at all. They only got married to save Ben from playground nonsense.
I don't have any kids, although I am 'ridiculous Uncle Kev' to many other peoples' kids, and my own nephew (who is hilarious himself). I have decided I'm never having kids and I'm never getting married. That's my choice.
If you think that makes me a coward then I can only recommend that you come to York one day to give me the opportunity to pull your stupid little head from your shoulders in person.
Men who call other men cowards are jealous of their effortless relationship and enormous penis.
A promise to my country? What the **** are you talking about? Also I'm not religious (although I am wearing a T-shirt with Jesus on it, but Jesus is awesome he can do magic), which is probably why marriage is meaningless to me.
Then in a few years you cheat on them or get divorced and the wedding was a massive waste of everybody's time and money.
So all women want to get married, and all men who don't want to get married are cowards and cheats. Any more bizarre generalisations from your imagination you'd like to contribute?
Only if you're dumb enough to marry them. 
I decided in my early 20s I wasn't going to marry anyone. I'm 36 now and still haven't married anyone. I've been with the same girl for 10 years now and we are still very happy with the situation, but no kids and no marriage so no awkward dependancies and no pressure from either side.
We both work, so we're both self-supportive. If either of us decide the other no longer fits the bill we can - and would - move on.
I think the problems start when you decide to make the typical societal family unit. We're much more stable than a married couple.

Not to mention the important role of gay men, women over 65 and babies born less than an hour ago - according to the Tralfamadorians.
ROFL really?
Yeah it was made out of wool I suppose it could've gone up in smoke, wish I'd seen it!
25 euros a month for one minecraft server? Sounds like ridiculous money.
Hmm. My big 'KEV' sign has disappeared off the front of my house in the last 24 hours. It's been vandalised before but it's now completely disappeared. It was all white wool and redstone torches.
Any idea who did it?

A Fender Jazz bass with an Allparts '70s neck, a pair of Tapco studio monitors, a Roland GK-3B pickup and GR-20 floor unit synth, a couple of tuners, a metronome, a Morley wah, a DOD bass overdrive, three guitar stands, a pedalboard ... I forget what I else I bought on Saturday morning, it all came as a job lot. I think the only thing I'm keeping is the bass.
My shit-giving levels are at an all-time low.
TBH I think Obama is still riding the wave of relief that the previous cretin's not running the country any more.
Ah, the fell-asleep-smoking look. I've sported that one in the past.
Got a sweet SX Strat for £80 and a red tort pickguard on the way for it. Amazingly nice guitar for £80.
Also bought a job lot of stuff from a guy which included a nice '70s reissue Jazz Bass all maple with MoP blocks and cream binding on the neck really tasty and I think once I've shifted all the other stuff the bass will have cost me about £75. I actually offered him £350 for it originally. It's also got a 13-pin Roland synth pickup on it which should be interesting.
And true to form I've got a red tort pickguard coming for that too, and some cream pickup covers. Looking forward to gigging this one this summer.

But it does achieve what most signature images try to achieve: Being extremely cheesy and completely ****ing useless.
At least avatars are only taking up vertical space that will be occupied anyway by the user's post.
Fine but my dog looks traumatised, what have you been doing?
My foot hurts today and it reminded me of kicking all your asses.
The bass only really changes the pitch, and to be honest with the Bugcrusher running you don't even get the pitch that's coming out of the bass, and the Bugcrusher is my second-favourite pedal ever so it's on A LOT.
Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2, arrived in the post today. 
It's precisely activity such as this which has turned Windows into the steaming bag of shit it is today. Do you remember the Windows source code leak several years back? I didn't go looking for it myself (seemed like a bad idea, commercially speaking) but apparently there are kludges like that all over it.
I use my Mac more often than my PC these days and I still think there are GUI things that Windows does better than Mac OS, which is funny really given that Apple base all their marketing on their supposedly-superior GUI. But what makes the difference for me is that the Mac has a GUI built on top of an operating system that actually works properly, not on top of a rickety pile of archaic shit like Windows.
They're all a bit too generic. I do have a Line 6 M9 that I use for pitch shifting, delays, reverbs, looping etc. but it doesn't have interesting stuff like modulating fuzzes, sample rate reducers and bitcrushers, crazy octave divider based tremolos and the like.
This is why I always end up with stomp boxes designed by men in sheds.
Also I typically need more versatile switching options and expression inputs for doing it live with my feet. The M9 is the best multi I've come across for this sort of thing, but I think I am going to end up with a Moog MP-201 to operate as a central brain for all my silly little stomp boxes.
I've got 8 different stomp boxes I want to buy (from Iron Ether, 4MS, Moog, Big John and others), only room for 2 on my pedal board. Yeah I know "Get a bigger pedal board", but I had a bigger one and it just wouldn't fit infront of a mic stand the feet get in the way.
I could have two pedal boards, but few bands would tolerate a bass player with two pedal boards...
They should make a way for me to be able to use all this stuff at once, then I could buy more stuff. The people who make the stuff should be in charge of this stuff too.

th84 still comes on the forum sometimes, but not very often. I haven't seen the others for a long time.
Try stopping a note on a double bass with your thumb, find the fifth harmonic above it with your pinkie, now bow the string while slowly sharpening the note all the way up the fingerboard, through a tape echo in a feedback loop with a bitcrusher.
Proper painful.
Glad somebody here can read.
Just had a friend visit me this morning to tell me she's been diagnosed with a tumour.

Read those quotes again, over and over if necessary, until you notice the difference between what I said and what you said.
I don't get your point? I don't know anyone who makes fun of people for having cancer, and nobody in this thread has done it either.
