80's Bad Guy Posted August 28, 2009 I was walking by this wall at work (marketing for industrial computer company) I've walked by a thousand times and nearly choked on my coffee when I happened to see this image (sorry crappy cell phone): So yeah, I work with Wizards. Have you encountered any boss wizard wizards in real life? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gdf Posted August 29, 2009 My mum is flicking through the local paper and just shouted through to me "Fraser, you should go to the Wizard Festival". I fucking exploded with laughter and babbled nonsensically about wizards and thumbs and THE MOTHERFUCKING WIZAAAARD! Checked out the website.

SignorSuperdouche Posted August 29, 2009 Checked out the website. WIZARD RADIO I fucking hate websites that play music at me without warning, but I'm willing to make an exception for The Charlatans *drifts into a nostalgic haze* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gdf Posted August 29, 2009 Coming back from the football I saw a poster for it in Aberdeen and burst out laughing again. Thanks for making me look like a mental weirdo for the umpteenth time Idle Thumbs. Because I'm the motherfucking wizard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted August 30, 2009 Who was responsible for the "MOTHERFUCKING WIZAAARDS!" voicemail, by the way? That's one of the best "Wizard" I have heard. EDIT: Incidentally, this might be the best "Wizard" I have heard: I was watching Conan the Barbarian (classic early Arnold), tonight. I got to the part where James Earl Jones turns a snake into an arrow and shoots what's-her-name, and when she's dying, she says..."The Wizaaard!" I lol'ed and rewound to watch it again. Haven't watched the movie though, and I only know it in the Electric Wizard context. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted August 30, 2009 Apparently there are quite a few songs titled "The Wizard": http://www.google.ee/#hl=et&lr=&q=the+wizard+lyrics&start=10&sa=N&fp=ce2e5dccc423e936 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted August 31, 2009 Who was responsible for the "MOTHERFUCKING WIZAAARDS!" voicemail, by the way? That's one of the best "Wizard" I have heard. Hahaha, that was me. I sort of said in the Idlethumbs 39 thread, but didn't want to draw too much attention to it. I was really tired and waiting until I was lost after a long drive to be silly enough to yell it into their voicemail. But yeah, the wizard could probably take me.

James Posted August 31, 2009 Electric Wizard I think I saw them support Mogwai at the ICA a few years ago. They played for quite a while. The venue management people wanted them to leave. The band did not want to leave. The management people shone torches in the band's eyes. The band made aggressive gestures with their fingers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irishjohn Posted September 4, 2009 Magic missile... I started playing D&D a few weeks ago and I continuously call out "the wizard". The guy that plays the wizard doesn't listen to Idle Thumbs, nor does anyone else in the group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
