In my dream I saw a world where a person was judged by their character, not the colour of their skin, their appearance, their beliefs, or their sexual orientation.
In my dream all people were equal. No one was considered better than anyone else.
In my dream I saw a land where everyone was treated with dignity, were employed in caring for others and the planet.
And then in my dream...
Then in my dream...
I was standing naked in a carpark in Invercargill with my tits covered in pickle.
Dill or kosher?
Don't leave out the important details....
It's actually a sort of pickled chutney, and doesn't generally contain actual pickles.
It's good on cheese sandwiches, meatloaf, and tits.

In George Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words..." schtick, the word "tits" came up as a snack item, "The new cheese tits!" I guess cheese, chutney and tits would work, but someone is going to have to be careful not to get carried away with the nibbling. 
That is, of course as long as it isn't fromundacheese (not singling out the Valkyrie, just a general observation).
ETA- Bought a bottle of Sriracha sauce yesterday. Speaking of spice, Ima have racing stripes on my chicken tonight at dinner!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I am a flaming liberal, but if memory serves me correctly Tipper Gore headed up a government sanctioned investigation on music as to which Dee Snider testified and basically said "Fuck you".

I learned the name origin this week.
I already knew it. It’s pretty common knowledge.

Pretty sure you also knew about the "Hootenannies" regarding ABBA too.

Yes, I did. You got the name wrong, but I’m too polite to mention it.

Why couldn't it have been honey or even thickened cream?
I hate pickles.

I love TS, but this was the song/video that killed them. I still to this day don't understand the decision to do this cover. It was a great original, for sure, but if your motif is to be metal, this was not the cover to do.

Twisted Sister was always about being over the top. The whole image was hair band on steroids. This song actually fits well with what they were. Note the flying bodies just like in the "We're Not Gonna Take It" video...and the teen age rebellion against parents.
They were never meant to be serious metal. They were damn near a novelty act.
Twisted Sister is far from the only band to take a bubble gum song and dirty it up a bit-as a joke. Tongue in cheek Bri, tongue in cheek.

The metal competition back then was all about big hair, over the top looks, but TS burned out quickly.
Metallica lasted a lot longer.
And I never got into Marilyn Manson. But ok, yea he did a cover too.

The fact that you think Metallica and Twisted Sister are the same type of band proves that you know nothing John Snow.

If you are going to argue about taste that is a losing argument.
TS and Metallica were most certainly on the same motif. Metallica simply had more range and and appeal.
If Metallica had made the same mistake they would have died just as quickly.
If AC/DC had covered the same song in the same way, they too would have died.
The song TS covered was a classic, and worthy of hall of fame, but it was a pop song, not a metal song. "Leader Of The Pack" was a pop song, not a metal song.
If Rush or Queen or Pink Floyd attempted a cover of "Leader Of The Pack" they would have flopped the same way TS did with that song.
