The Ten Items

They have agreed to a list of 10 items that were the basis of the lawsuit.

Too bad none of those ten has to do with the fact that country music makes your ears bleed.

The trick is to play country music backwards. That way you get your job back, you get your wife back, you get your dog back, and you stop drinking.

The 8 types of country songs

1. Losin Songs (she left me)
2. Lovin and Forgivin Songs (she came back)
3. Hurtin Songs (the bitch done left me again)
4. Drinkin Songs (nobody here to cook, might as well get drunk)
5. Rodeo Songs (she ran off with a cowboy)
6. Train Songs (they hopped a train west, think i'll derail that sucker)
7. Jail Songs (you know, they take derailing trains real serious in Mississippi)
8. Never Give up Hope Songs (I wonder if her sister still lives in Alabama)

Don't you mean "I wonder if MY OTHER sister still lives in Alabama"?

OK, enough with the country music bashing. Its no worse than 'popular' music. As in:
The 8 types of songs played on MTV:

1. Scantily-clad white girl dances while singing about how much she wants to please you.
2. A bunch of white pretty boys sing in harmony about how bad-ass they are.
3. A bunch of pretty black girls sing in harmony about how bad-ass they are.
4. Scantily-clad black man poses while singing about how much he wants to please you.
5. The real world.
6. Road Rules.
7. The Real World versus Road Rules.
8. Retro "The Real World" marathons with behind-the scenes interviews so you can really get to know the cast members.

I get the feeling that most people on Slashdot don't like either country or pop. Call it a hunch.

When you're born a midwife should be standing there with a card held up in front of you in big letters

BY BEING BORN YOU ENTER INTO AN IMPLICIT CONTRACT THAT YOU AGREE TO READ ALL THE SMALL PRNT THAT'S GOING TO GET THROWN AT YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. AND BY THE WAY THIS IS THE LAST TIME THE SMALL PRINT IS GOING TO BE THIS BIG.

BTW Ignore this text down here. I had to write it to make /.'s lame lameness filter accept my post. By padding your post out with lower case text you can get away with writing more upper case text. Simple attempts to hack a free market often fail and in this case the next effect is that I have to pad my posts out causing clutter which is far worse than inadvertent yelling.
