Dear Ozma

Indoor Fireworks · October 21, 2006, 02:11:17 PM

My friend's birthday is coming up so as a gift to him I will be taking him to see you guys at the Glass House. I bought the tickets last week only to later find out that another show is coming up on the same day: Pete Townshend, Billy Corgan, and E at the Hotel Cafe. I'm sure you could imagine the dilemma I was faced with. I hope you'll be happy to know that I am missing the opportunity to see three of my favorite song writers so I can attend your show at the Glass House, but I also want you to know that I am demanding that you don't let me regret my decision. I'm not going to lie to you, I am putting a lot of pressure on you guys to rock me... hard... really fucking hard. I want you to rock me so hard that I will walk out of the Glass House saying "Pete who?" Also, I would like you to make this show extra special so I am requesting that you play one, two, or all of the following songs:

Immigration Song
Apple Trees
If I Only Had a Heart
Last Dance
Lorraine
Come Home Andrea
Curve in the Old 1-9
Los Angeles
D-Song

If you don't meet these high expectations that I have for this show, my disappointment will cause me to never attend one of your shows, listen to your music, or even speak of your band again. Please don't disappoint me.

Not an unreasonable request.

I'll lol if this show is recorded and then they address this thread before/after one of those songs.

Zombie Don Ho · October 22, 2006, 01:08:57 PM

Holy poop, I totally would have gone to the Hotel Cafe show... no question. Especially given that you live in SoCal, where Ozma is likely to play many times in the relatively near future.

And if you live in LA, it's much closer than Pomona. But I don't know where you live.

i dont think threatening the band is going to help your cause. but it would be cool if they played immigration song for you.

I'd laugh out loud if you guys actually said the word "lol" in person..

I hope they play some of them so it means they start playing them regularly again.

PS: I will come on stage and juggle apples if you play "Apple Trees," but you must provide the apples. And they must be Granny Smith.

PPS: Granny Smith apples are delicious.

I wouldn't play any of them for you, even IF they were to be in the rotation anyways, just because of that statement.

he edited his original, funnier statement.

noob question, PWN = ??

gloom-glaam · October 26, 2006, 02:09:00 PM

Player owned = powned = pwnd = pwn
But apparently this one was super and therefore was a PWN.

Rome · October 26, 2006, 09:08:26 PM

whoa whoa whoa whoa, hold on: pwnd isn't short for "player owned".

It's a mispelling of the word "owned" and was never fixed. I believe it was on Warcraft. noob.

I'm almost certain "pwn" is much, much older than Warcraft.

Zombie Don Ho · October 26, 2006, 10:14:06 PM

i think the warcraft thing is correct.

and warcraft is really f-ing old, if you recall.

there's older. I believe it was an earlier game.

tom · October 27, 2006, 08:24:37 AM

"poned" was used a lot on Halo as I recall.

ps - wow frickin firefox 2.0 has a spell checker.

heyfloyd73 · October 27, 2006, 09:08:25 AM

i've heard it's "power owned"

Rome · October 27, 2006, 05:53:57 PM

Here are my conflicting sources:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwn
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwn

either way, though, it's a mispelling that grew into a full-fledged noob-crushing insult.
