Sleeping is a thing that most of us tend to do at night unless you are a vampire or witch in which case the gig's up, buddy. Sometimes you can accidentally sleep for a couple minutes during the day if something super boring is happening, like work or chess or Sergei Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Major. A famous philosopher once said "I never sleep because sleep is the cousin of death," but that's bull puckey because if you never slept you'd probably be irritable and wouldn't be able to operate heavy machinery, and who can go through life like that, because I sure can't.RATING: 57%

Yawn.
R3 is a heavy machine.
I think Glenn is holding R3 together, and that is just sad...
this place need some drama like a motherfucker
alright, here goes
i heard glen got a 2 inch pen0r and i. jons fav. show is tyra banks also that laura is enrolled at everest online college and not her fancy new yrok school and that anonamous blew some dued in the backstage of a slashs snakepit concert
c/d?
It's true about anon.
I know. I was there.
also I heard IJohn loves Oprah. True story
Shit, I wish I was enrolled in an online college. It would probably be a hell of a lot cheaper than the $43K/year assfuck that I actually do attend.
Are we angry the with school that you actually do attend? Or, when you refer to it as "assfuck" are we being warm and cuddly?
paying money pwns
aw fuck, a typo, I meant ...Are we angry with the school..
Hey, (n)BNL: what about me?
hahaha
Andrew withdrew his post and I is an idiot who obiously is jdkm,cx
ah fuck Idunno.. ....
o i didnt know you still posted on this website
ok i heard from a anonamous source that vikking andrew has a prolapsed anus and has to poop in a bag im no doctor but in my medical opinion that shit is gross!
y dont yall go to bed and save up yr posting energy for tomorrow and then well all get in a big fight when yall are good and rested (the fight can be about any two of the following three things: cheating (relationships), political corectness, the lasting legacy of alan moore
i always thought if i were a gay pornstar my name would be petey prolapse
i may delete the coments about prolapsed recta they p. gross
I love Oprah in the sense that I wouldn't deliberately run her over with a combine harvester. If I were behind the wheel of a combine harvester that just happened to run her over and then I just happened to open a bottle of champagne afterwards, I don't think that would make me a total bastard. There's no wrong time to drink champagne.
champagne is always good, esp if that fat bitch is dead..
I didn't say that.
Alright, I'm not going to take it back, since she is responsible for unleashing Dr. Phil, Robin Smith and M. Gary Neuman upon the world. But let's not accumulate too much bad karma here.
If this is as exciting as it gets around her, then this is pretty lame.
*double yawn*
I miss the fake personas.
Well, maybe not all of them but some of them. At least it added spice.
Occasionally R3 adds a little salt, but we never add "spice." It's management's expectation that readers add spice according to his or her individual taste.
Why read a website that bores you? Just read something else.
y eat a butt
b/c its there
what else wld you do paint a picture or write a screenplay or try to achieve financhal independence
reading stuff on the intnerte pwns its like the ultimate expresssion of freedom
to not like a website is literally giving in to totalitarienism
you see, theres this guy named nome chomsky and
and, and, and what?
We want Bertha.
We want Bertha.
We want Bertha.
We want Bertha.
So clearly the person that created the fake personas is totally lost without them. I think that person should start their own blog, where the fake personas can roam free and chat back and forth about whatever. Then anyone who misses the personas can go visit them in their own habitat. Problem solved, don't thank me, my check's in the mail.
I don't mind fake personas. They just get a little out of hand sometimes and that can be a bit much.
@ R3,PsyD
Do you mean create a fake blog for the fake personas? Wow what a brilliant idea! I'll get right on that.
{Ha Ha Ha Ha!}
I thought the Great Purge ended this debate. Do we need another pogrom to solidify the point?
This just in: I've heard rumors that the fake personas are regrouping in the forests of Nova Scotia. They're rearming with new jokes, puns, wordplay, biting sarcasm and intelligent repartee. Soon they will counter attack. R3 is DOOMED!
Or, the same people who always read R3 will continue to read R3, and the one who is mourning the abortion of their own creativity will find another playground?
if ppl srsly need fake personas to feel complete then thats sad
We don't NEED fake personas to feel complete, they just add some interest to the blog. esp late nights when you've had too much too drink. That's when it's fun. Plus everyone is on vacation and not expending a lot of energy on R3, soo those who read would like something more than Glenn's boring boring boring ass reviews.
That's all.
Plus if all the anons admitted to who they were, we would all discover that only two people outside of the writers ever read or post on R3.
So there (sticks tongue out)
If there's fake personas in Nova Scotia, they haven't been in touch with me.
For the record, the only fake I've ever run is the first Gary Glitter. I still grind my teeth at the thought that more than one person on this blog thought I was Bertha. You motherfuckers.
@ Anon
I like Glenn's reviews, and he rarely has a bad word for anyone when he's not using an alt to impersonate a postmodern qlipoth. Real drama comes from moral complexity and passionate conflict, not cheap personal insults.
I like alts sometimes, when they're not running amok like those brooms in The Sorcerer's Apprentice. What I don't like is when people take advantage of anonymity to say hurtful things about other people that they wouldn't say in person. Few people start more shit on this blog than me, but I don't post anything I wouldn't sign my name to.
Recent research in sociology and game theory, not to mention common sense, indicate that people will do all kinds of antisocial shit when they think no one's watching. There's a theory that one of the functions of religion is to promote prosocial behaviour when no one's looking by making people feel like there's a supernatural pair of eyes on them at all times. It turns out it doesn't even have to be God--kids asked by experimenters not to look in a box were significantly more likely to comply when they were told that "Princess Alice" was watching them.
Fucking freaky, that.
Well said, John.
I don't want to minimize anyone else's work here, and I apologize for being redundant, but I really love Glenn's reviews. I really hope Anon was being facetious when (s)he said that Glenn writes "boring boring boring ass reviews." I really do hope that.
Glenn and his writings are certainly the reason I came here in the first place (nepotism) and continue to be probably the biggest contributing factor to my continued readership. I enjoy reading everyone's reviews, though I don't have something to say about all of them (which is good for everybody).
R3 is full of talented, witty people, and I don't think anybody here writes "boring boring boring ass reviews". Hell, I even enjoy the reviews of things that I've never heard of. I applaud and would like to echo what John said about people signing their name to it if they have something critical or potentially hurtful to say.
I'll stop there because I think I've said this all before. Sorry again for being redundant.
Word, IJ & Timmaaay!!
If I want to know how many people read R3, I can go to Statcounter.
It's clear to me that one person (posing as many personas) got their feelings hurt that Glenn didn't think their personas were as hilarious as they did, and that person is visiting the blog practically every hour to lament and feel bad for themselves. Which is fine, I'm happy to come to the pity parties most of the time; but it's getting like YouTube with the comments up in here when every other comment is someone shit-talking anonymously and lobbying for the return of their own brainchild. If you think the site is "boring," don't read it. Or find another site to visit in between your 20 daily trips to R3. Or seriously, start your own Personae site, and recruit all your best buds in Calgary to read it. For once I'm not being sarcastic.
And John, sorry I thought you were Bertha. I didn't even read the whole comment -- just saw that it was about as long as the one above this one. And this one that I'm writing now. I know you're better than a Bertha.
Campus Po' always told us, of stalkers, "make it clear the attention is not appreciated. once you've made that clear, do not engage further."
Lemon Out!
Good grief! You're a barrel of laughs.
Additionally, since we're talking about it, while it is typically dismissed by music historians as a "little work" due to its relative lack of modal complexity, I do appreciate Prokofiev's uncharacteristic volume structuring of the 3rd Concerto, with most of the piece played quietly, almost as an afterthought. I suppose you can't outbombast his 2nd concerto, so maybe a breather was all he really needed.
Thanks, Loco.
@ Glenn
I enjoy Prokofiev's work with Bon Scott better than his later Brian Johnson years. I hear that old Sergei could really trash a hotel room.
John, I expect to see Laurie use the ridiculous "@" symbols when speaking to someone, but not you.
I mean, I'm still trying to give you some respect.
dam this was the little review that could
i leave town for a 2 day booty call and come back and suddenly everybody wants a piece of the prokofiev pie
also i think glens boring borng bornig reviews are my fav. b/c i can post in them w/o no one giving a shit
hey i just had a idea that will please everyone
fake r3 personas (ei bertha, nixie and wolfgang, etc) stay retired but we bring back fake r3 character
glen you can make this happen
@ Chris
You wanna die, white fish?
Hey guys, I've been out of town and my computer is broken. What did I miss? Oh wait, we're still talking about this fake personas shit? Man, fuck that.
