About Me

buy buy buy or die die die

Once upon a time there was a big fire-breathing dragon with magical powers, named Arturo. This dragon lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Hollywood with two 15-year-old drag queens. One day Arturo was trying on one of their fishnet stockings when he heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?" he snorted (dragons have difficulty speaking normally like other people do). "I have your PONY....uh, I mean, Candygram," said a voice on the other side. But when Arturo laughed at this his breath set his polyester couch on fire, releasing chemical pollutants into the air and filling the room with pink smoke. The dealer could smell the noxious fumes and so he ran downstairs to the double-parked SUV where his mother waited for him. Meanwhile Arturo was wondering just what to do (he hadn't used his magical powers in years), and he remembered he had some leftover pizza in his refrigerator. Though he was hungry he knew that pink smoke ruins the taste of mozzarella cheese. At last he remembered how to use his magical powers and PRESTO! The apartment was transformed into a Club Med in Arkansas. However, Arturo had forgotten that he had left a "Kerry/Edwards" bumpersticker on his tail, and when an old pickup truck drove by, the passenger saw that and leaned out of the window and blew Arturo's head off with a double barrel shotgun.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Always wear goggles when folding radioactive laundry.

I am 40% Tortured Artist.
. I have some artistic ability, but it is probably a hobby and doesn't drive my life into a dark abysmal hole were I am alone and against the world. Take the
Tortured Artist Test
@ FualiDotCom
Captain Beefheart... you are one of the first modern fucked-up geniuses. When it comes to creating, you rank right up there with the likes of James Mangan, John Wilmot and Edvard Munch.
Which fucked-up genius composer are you?

Take the quiz: "What Kind of Music Are You? :::pics:::"

Metal
You're about as hardcore as they come. Music is your passion and you listen to it for talent not because it's popular. You probably have a lot of respect for all artforms and you like classical piano. Slipknot definitely sucks in your eyes...and for good reason. Any band who takes the time to put on make-up and masks just isn't worth your respect.
