It has been reported that Avenged Sevenfold drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan died yesterday of natural causes at the age of 28. The rumors were confirmed today by the band on their official website. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and the band.

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan. Jimmy was not only one of the world's best drummers, but more importantly he was our best friend and brother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy's family and we hope that you will respect their privacy during this difficult time.

Jimmy you are forever in our hearts.
We love you.

M Shadows, Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance and Johnny Christ

I realize that for the past however many years of your life, you've been hearing all the songs posted so far in this countdown over and over at the same time every year, so let's just take a moment to acknowledge that with Geraldine McQueen's Once Upon A Christmas Song.

Mo loves Christmas. So excited, in fact, that we've decided to count down to Christmas, each day posting a different Christmas song.

The song we've chosen to kick off the countdown is one everybody knows - Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree by Mel and Kim! Enjoy!

Hey all,
As Ally has done most of the work so far I have decided to finally post something :), and what better place to put me first post than Horace's Corner?
So, I was sitting playing games on the computer thinking about what to write. Then it hit me. Tubby toast! You see, not so long ago our favourite teacher decided to compare the morality of law, both modern and old, to the morality in the Teletubbies. This, for those of you who have not had the pleasure of watching it, is a television show for children aged one to four. Horace is apparently of the opinion that law can be very much like Noo-Noo (pronounced Nuu-Nuu)- always cleaning up and being bossed about, but never getting any tubby toast as a reward.
I have no idea what was going on in in Horace's head at that moment in time ( and I'm not sure I'd want to). What I do want to know is what a man in his 60s is doing watching a T.V show for two year olds? Any ideas? Also, feel free to write to us about your own experiences with these strange beings calling themselves teachers.

Wee, I've got to go put Horace back in his corner now so I'll talk to you later.

Love,
Kee
-xXx-

Everyone has or had a teacher like Horace. Someone who will rattle off random analogies and absurd comparisions, someone who spouts stuff that just doesn’t make any sense, and whose lessons are always accompanied by some kind of crazy anecdote. And yet, despite this, he occasionally (very occasionally) manages to utter some words of wisdom, worth cherishing for…well, for about an hour.

Here we’ll post all our Horace-isms. If your teachers, past or present, have imparted something you think is worthy of sharing, email us at monumentaloddities@gmail.com, (include the first name of the teacher in question if you know it) and we’ll put it up.
