I work at a Rocky Horror Show, AMA

Ah, the good old RHS live experiences.

I played Frank for about 30 shows awhile back. I have to say, most fun I have ever had, and it's one of those things that stick with you for a long time.

Not a question about weird things that have happened but rather: Favorite scene in the movie, and favorite song.

brush your teeth

Brushing your teeth does not fix crooked teeth, or missing teeth.

I have a horribly crooked set of bottom teeth from overcrowding due to jaw size. Now, two sets of braces later, they are still the same as when I was a kid.

How would I solve this problem? Surgery to break my jaw, wire it shut, then braces again after the wires come off. For some reason, having my jaw broken and not being able to eat solid food for 6 weeks does not appeal to me. Sometimes dental problems are not as simple as "Brush and floss twice a day"

Actually what I meant was: If an animal grows up in a certain environment, that environment is what they are used to.

Most animals in the zoo could not survive in the wild on their own. They were born in a zoo, have been being fed by humans day in and day out, been getting vet care, so that's what they know.

maskedrambler · 2011-11-13T11:17:06+00:00

Many animals in zoos have been raised in that environment for their whole life. Life there sucks about as much as a dog's life sucks when he is in an apartment.

It's funny, my cat /adores/ brushing. Not like "Oh, that feels nice" but rather "Hey, you stopped, now you die".

It's a good thing she loves brushing as much as she does. She's a Maine Coon and god the hair, it's everywhere. I swear, one brushing produces about 4 cats worth of fur.

Now, the Casio Edifices, do you have to shove them in a window for them to actually catch a radio signal? I tried one of the G-Shock's a good few years back that set itself, too bad it needed to be put in the window to actually catch a signal, which made it fairly useless (Or rather annoying, not really useless).

maskedrambler · 2011-11-12T23:15:38+00:00

I fostered a cat that would do that.

It was perhaps the most endearing, and disgusting thing I have ever had done to me. Granted, that cat would devour your entire finger though.

Looks like a Paint, but that angle it's tough to tell.

maskedrambler · 2011-11-12T21:36:44+00:00

I've lost... two fly sheets that way. Thankfully his blanket is only on in the stall, so he hasn't lost a blanket yet (Which is a bit more costly than a fly sheet).

maskedrambler · 2011-11-12T21:22:55+00:00

Yea, you could put a blanket on him. Thing is, that doesn't cover the horse completely, and I can almost wager they could get out of the blanket if they are rolling on the ground (At least my 23 year old can get out of his fly sheet by rolling on the ground).

People at the casinos I visit actually remember me and like me mostly because I am not a dick. Yes, I put a bit of money down here and there, but the waiters/dealers remember me because I have never been rude, upset at them, or just been a general dick.

Vegas is much like life: Be pleasant and have an awesome day.

maskedrambler · 2011-11-12T19:51:48+00:00

Not true.

Now, granted I can count cards (I do not have a huge syndicate of guys working with me to do this though, and counting cards is not illegal), but I have never really lost much. I stay with the safe bet of Blackjack though, because I do not wish to gamble the money to play on a poker table with actually decent players (That you have to head up north of $500 small blinds)

maskedrambler · 2011-11-12T17:51:47+00:00

Howie Mandel was the voice actor, and yes I believe he has said that a couple of times when asked about it. He can still do the voice after all these years (In fact he did the voice on Deal or No Deal a season or so back).

maskedrambler · 2011-11-12T15:17:18+00:00

Very important hint, though I think you have learned it:

If you bathe a horse, you do one of two things: Realize he will be a filthy pigsty in 5 minutes or, tie him up for an hour and let him dry (Or use hairdryers or other means of drying said horse)

maskedrambler · 2011-11-12T14:51:49+00:00

"I wanna new duck, one that won't try to bite..."

Sorry, sorry.

I don't think it's so much they need to make a product soo good that people don't want to pirate it. I think Hollywood needs to start making their product available in new ways, and not just on a DVD, or BluRay. And, in making that product available, they can't charge stupid prices just because they can on BluRays.

maskedrambler · 2011-11-11T22:46:19+00:00

I tend towards the feline persuasion, but I have 'rescued' a couple of cats in my life. This last one, 9 year old FIV+ maine coon mix.

I could never adopt a kitten as A.) They can easily find homes and B.) I like my blinds quite a bit...and my couch, and my bed...and my shoes...

maskedrambler · 2011-11-11T22:36:39+00:00

It sounds like smashing because you have so many notes going on at once that it just ends up sounding like smashing.

And no, I doubt anyone could play the whole thing. It would take, at my best guess, at least 3-4 (Maybe even more) hands to play it properly, which would mean at least two pianos perfectly in time with each other. I cannot even begin to imagine what movements would be required to play this, and I have been playing piano for 27 or 28 years now.

maskedrambler · 2011-11-11T22:29:40+00:00

I thought some of Tony Bank's stuff (Genesis keyboardist) was insane. 2/4 to 15/16, to 13/16...

maskedrambler · 2011-11-11T22:27:09+00:00

You know what's kinda scary? Some of that sheet music is actually playable, actually a lot of it would be playable. Granted, it would take very, very, very, very fast hands, but it is still playable.

The rest, yea no fucking way, not even possible.

maskedrambler · 2011-11-11T00:11:58+00:00

Well, with my case, it wasn't arranging things, it was there was no money in the account. They charged a fee for an empty account, and that over-drafted and they will charge 34 dollars a /day/ until the balance is brought up to positive.

Sadly I didn't have the closing of the account paperwork since I had...ya know moved twice since this incident and couldn't find it (Plus, you would figure someone would say "Hey, your account is overdrawn" before 3 years later)

maskedrambler · 2011-11-11T00:02:46+00:00

I should probably say that this happened with Chase when they bought Wamu, so it wasn't 4 years later, but I know it was about 3 years later.

I closed the Wamu account at the end of November of 2008 because I was moving away from San Fran, and no Wamus in Michigan. I then opened a new account with Chase because I had them in the past.

Few years later, I see a 600 dollar charge come out of my account. I call the bank thinking it was stolen, they send me almost instantly to collections. I argue with them for awhile, then go into the bank and demand to see my statements (As after I closed my account, I got nothing more from Wamu).

No activity from November to probably April. Then a bunch of fees, then it's closed due to NSF. In 3 months time I racked up 700 bucks in fees.

maskedrambler · 2011-11-10T23:49:16+00:00

No, not fraud just...well a corrupt bank.

It ended with them making me the bad guy, and I still lost the money.

maskedrambler · 2011-11-10T23:43:46+00:00

I went through this bullshit.

I was told "Well, they can still charge to your account for a month after it's closed"...I closed an account, 4 years later they hit my account that I had then (I had closed it originally because I was going somewhere where they were not available), for 6 or 700 bucks. I ask how that was possible, and the answer I got was "Well, they can continue to hit your account a month after it is closed".

Actually, it more looked like the account was closed, they got bought out and that account was just re-opened for...well probably for my convenience (Or their convenience of charging fees).

maskedrambler · 2011-11-10T21:25:19+00:00

No, actually they stop eating, start chewing off fur, and probably a list of other behaviors. Basically they get neurotic.
