It would be way down on my request list but now that you have me thinking about it, I hope that they play Feed of Man. I haven't heard that song live since 1999. It would rock.

Thank you. That is an excellent set1 Aiy-yi-yi! I can't wait!!

you have been calling me Colonel Ellsworth Fag behind my cyber-back. Not that you will immediately begin to do so, but have prior to this thread.

 

Just so everyone is clear, I bumped this thread specifically with Ellsworth in mind.

Colonel Flagg, if you please.

It is becoming very real! 3 nights of our favorite band playing request-enhanced sets. Bliss.

Do you ever watch M*A*S*H?

Ha ha ha ha! see above.

I just read the OP! Bloody hell! Phil Parma was right. I am the board's Colonel Flagg!!! Fo' realz!

Can someone who still posts here explain that "OP" stands for "Opening Post"?

You are like one of those cartoons or sitcoms where the characters that aren't speaking to one another actually do so but under the facade that they are asking others to convey the message. I always laughed at those episodes. Ha ha!

Thanks for the explanation. I play by my own rules and don't always read the OP. My daughter used to shop there, though.

Is the OP that WB show from a few years back? I don't know what it is otherwise.

Sometimes it helps to read some of the posts in the thead, not just the title.

Too many pages!! I decided to just jump on the trolley at the closest stop or something like that.

My self-imposed ban on posting at ViaChicago makes it impossible for me to point out that this thread does not pose a question that can be viewed subjectively.

Shit1 You are correct1 'Rank the Wilco Albums, it's that time again', is not a question of any kind. It is a statement, request, command. Can't I ever do anything right? Whoa, I sound like Charlie Brown. If nothing else I played a role in bringing you out of your self-imposed ban.

"reading comprehension"

I understand the words above but not the context. I'll stop with my silliness about an algorithm to solve the unsolvable and just be literal. I disagree with you about me being wrong because it is a subjective question. There is no correct way to rank Wilco's albums other than being correct to the induvidual ranker. Damn. It is a lot more fun joking around than being serious.

Here's a response to you. You'll see it is you to you because I've quoted you in my response.

 

Regardless, you're still wrong.

I knew that it was me to me or ... whoa, my head is spinning. Can I please have the algorithm so that I can right my wrong? Not the answer because I want to learn!

Ha ha ha! Damn1 Somehow there is a definitive answer to a subjective question... Foiled by mysterious, paradoxical anomalies again. How many more times must I suffer such a fate??!!

gogo, maybe we have a misunderstanding. The above was meant as a response to kimcatch22.

Ah, but this is where you're mistaken...

Dammit I must know the proper algorithm to solve the Wilco album puzzle! Will you share it?

Ha ha ha! Damn1 Somehow there is a definitive answer to a subjective question... Foiled by mysterious, paradoxical anomalies again. How many more times must I suffer such a fate??!!

I have never ranked them. It is a difficult endeavor. at this exact moment in time, here's my answer:

Kicking Television (because it a retrospective type-thing)

Summerteeth

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Being There

Mermaid Avenue/Mermaid Avenue 2 (I see it as one album, even though it isn't)

AM

Sky Blue Sky

A Ghost Is Born

Mermaid Avenue 2

The above list is complete bullshit. I disown it. For me, it honestly can't be done. If I had the proverbial gun to my head, I'd just say albums because their is no way the coercer could know if it's bullshit or not. I honestly see all of the albums as equally stellar. It is a lateral difference to me, not a hierarchical one. This isn't a cop out. This is sincerely how I view the Wilco canon.

i have no idea what that means. i think pancakes just meant the other dude was wrong.

Ha ha! I was replying to m. christine and didn't quote because I though I'd get in right after. I'm starting to become apoplectic because I can't stop laughing. this is a great thread.

Is it because an unwelcome guest is providing comic relief at his expense?

I knew what you meant! I can read altered posted images! Ha ha ha!

It seems as though I may be delusional regarding my wit.

Do you mean that he's still dead and that I can relax?

Oh, I see. Just because Woody makes it his manifesto, you all go along with it? If he told you to jump in an ocean full of jellyfish would you do that too?

Yes. I'd do whatever his undead zombie ass said.

All righty then. Another blow struck for cheerlessness.

man, I was checking for the presale every day...but I must ahve missed a day or 2 because I didnt see that they were going on sale today...when did they announce that.

 

Anyone have 2 great tickets they want to give up?

If my friends in Tallahassee decide to not go (it's 50-50), I have a pair in row H that will be all yours. I'll contact you if they open up or post in the got extras area.

I can't take all of this fighting! I guess I'm just not ready for the internet afterall!

Ha ha! This place is worth hanging and giving a shot. Hooked on VC worked for me.
