Turnip? At the very least he's a sweet potato.

[philosiraptors.livejournal.com]

I am so confused! TURNIPS? What is wrong with turnips! THEY OBVIOUSLY CANNOT BE SO BAD IF GEEZY IS AMONG THEM. A NOBLE ROOT VEGETABLE. HARUMPH HARUMPH HARUMPF.

[fleurdeliser.livejournal.com]

Maybe it is a regional colloquialism we are not familiar with?

The world subsists on starchy root vegetables and rice. I see no bad there.

[philosiraptors.livejournal.com]

I have no fucking idea! His head is a pretty weird shape, though. Whatever, Geezy, you are the root vegetable OF MY HEART.

[fleurdeliser.livejournal.com]

I... may have to use that phrase somewhere.

Oh look. I already did.

[philosiraptors.livejournal.com]

Mwuaaaaaaaahahahaha. ♥

[roadmarks.livejournal.com]

But potatoes are awful and turnips are awesome! >:(

[fleurdeliser.livejournal.com]

You speak these words and I do not understand them. I do very much like turnips as well, though. I was thinking more of the color and sweetness of the sweet potato. Less of the... potatoeyness.

[iamsupernova.livejournal.com]

ilu turnip gee, bb

[beck-rocks.livejournal.com]

these polls are so pointless. same fucking results every time.

you know, my favourite was when gerard was voted "villain of the year" in kerrang and the photo they put with the article is him looking like the biggest sweetheart ever.

[oudemia.livejournal.com]

Seriously? What year did that happen? That's the greatest. I think he should never care about another award ever again. No matter how many Eisners he wins, nothing will top that.

[beck-rocks.livejournal.com]

it's pretty hilarious

[separateskies.livejournal.com]

LOL AMAZING

[ciel-vert.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA OMG THANK YOU KERRANG. BEST PHOTO CHOICE EVER.

[mistersandbox.livejournal.com]

HES SO ADORABLE

[porcelina-june.livejournal.com]

i find it odd they won in a 2009 poll when they really didn't do much in 2009. js.

[mcrnut.livejournal.com]

I love how they're always voted both the best and the worst band in these types of polls.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I actually find these polls pretty hilarious and great. It's amazing that our boys are still so polarizing - mostly because 90% of the population haven't stopped to really *look*, all these bullshit assumptions. It's funny though because it just rolls off their backs and they stand proud. The other reason I love this one is that even though they did nothing but have babies and get married and get healthy in 2009, they STILL are on everyone's minds. Those are the real superstars, my friends.

[wjesq.livejournal.com]

absolutely and how bad can it be when you are on the same list as Bono - must be doing something right...

[bittersweetrick.livejournal.com]

♥ this.

Seriously, you've said it all.

[separateskies.livejournal.com]

ia

[bexless.livejournal.com]

You know, they're doing something right if they can be at the forefront of the fans' AND the haters' minds in a year they DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING. I love it.

[mcrnut.livejournal.com]

[wjesq.livejournal.com]

smartest post eva!

[bittersweetrick.livejournal.com]

That's MCR for you. LOOOOL

Seriously, these guys. That just might be the reason they're my favorites.

[josiemus-prime.livejournal.com]

[magic-electric.livejournal.com]

Okay, you WIN for sure. Icon = <3

[hellohazzy.livejournal.com]

LOL ILU.

[separateskies.livejournal.com]

win

[bittersweetrick.livejournal.com]

According to Urban Dictionary:

1. Turnip

A person being extremely random.
Being random.
People are often being very turnip on the in-tar-web.
Changing subject to something different when talking.
Examples:
"I JUST ROLLED IN A PILE OF DONUTS"
"LOL I JUST STOLE MY NEIGHBOUR'S MAIL".

OIC.

[separateskies.livejournal.com]

omg at the idea of gerard rolling around in a pile of doughnuts.

[mistersandbox.livejournal.com]

i feel guilty for wanting this

[separateskies.livejournal.com]

when i think about it just makes me crave donuts tbh

Most Anticipated Albums of 2010 - The Rhapsody Editorial Music Blog

[plans-reveries.livejournal.com]

My Chemical Romance, TBD (TBD)
There’s no title and no release date, but according to Mr. Gerard Way, the new album -- produced by Brendan O'Brien, of course -- should come out in 2010. What’s more, the lead singer has been telling the press that My Chem is now all about THE ROCK. Footage of a new track titled “Death Before Disco” has been making its way across the Internet, and Way is right. The band is busting some serious garage-punk moves.

I am more concerned by this:

WORST INTERNATIONAL BAND
05. GREEN DAY

COME HERE AND FIGHT ME D:

[chuckaloonie.livejournal.com]

Goes to show how stupid these polls are. I mean, SERIOUSLY?

[monvenin.livejournal.com]

It also angered me that even though they're on the best international bands list, that they come 3rd to Paramore and Thirty Seconds to Mars. I appreciate that a lot of people like those bands too, but I would still be angered even if MCR were infront of them.

/rant

[chuckaloonie.livejournal.com]

30 Seconds To Mars and Paramore?
I'm not saying they're bad or anything, but ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
It should've been about the music, not about which band has the hottest members (or any other criteria that made people choose them over Green Day, it was CLEARLY not about the music).

*Again, I'm not attacking those bands, but come on people!

[monvenin.livejournal.com]

I agree, seriously. It just reflects on what sort of people read Rocksound, that's why I read Kerrang!

Also: Gerard Way is not a turnip, he's a person. Silly readers, turnips are root vegetables.

[thisquietcity.livejournal.com]

Why did I initially read "turnip" as "trollop"?
