To "miss" a guy, is that when he has a sex change operation?

No, it's when he has a failed sex change operation.

There was this novel, "Hole in the mattress" by Mr. Completely. I never read it. Anyway, that might be sidetracking.

My oldest son asked me to tell him what the band was that I played to him ages ago.
After many questions it appears to have originated from your sound of the week as he said that It came from that freak from my forum.
I searched and searched on Code Project and just couldn't find it. Searched heaps.
Then I went to Google and typed "Dark Psytrance Sander codeproject".
Found it immediately.
Back in 21 November 2019. It was OxiDaski Thikhai Thikhai.
I don't always respond about your posts about the sound of the week, but I nearly always love your SOTW.
What I like about it is that it gives me a window to bands and sounds that I would otherwise never get a chance to hear.
So Thanks. I love it.

And thou shalt speak my name at the dinner table.
And thou shalt say, "Sander's sound is that of the week, by which all other sounds will be judged from hereon forward."
And thou shalt raise thy hands up in the air and thank me.
Such is the ritual to praise and honor my name.
So sayeth the holy scriptures of Sander Rossel

A good one!
What your son lacks in manners he makes up in taste

That's awesome to hear!
I do it to educate people and hopefully support some artists I really like.

This.
Some weeks I get zero response, but other people have told me they check it almost weekly too, so that's why I keep doing it.
Other times I get quite a bit of response.
I love to hear from others about their favorite songs too.
Some SOTWs started as a comment on a previous SOTW.
Others don't make it to SOTW, but still get plenty of playtime.

The word freak is used here as a word of endearment and indicates that a person has some quality that is to be admired. It is often used to foster the admired quality.

Isn't that a softcore porn movie?
Looked it up on IMDb and I guess it is.
And with a score of 5.3 it's one of the best in the series
That didn't stop people from making like a hundred different movies and spin-offs though
It did well in the box office, apparently

Is that a cleaned up version of "do or do not, there is no try"?

This is a statement coined by an elderly person in my city (Bangalore) in India; this statement was quite famous during my childhood, around 40 years ago.

Almost posted that 90 minutes ago but couldn't decide if it was or not so I did not, no trying involved.

if you pronounced "Kant" in it's original way (Dutch/German), well, let's just say NSFW
oh, and Imautomatic didn't need to try.

As a Dutchie I say "can't" with a slightly harsher KA sound.
I'm now saying it out loud in front of my computer like a total idiot and I think I hear what you mean
The A is pronounced slightly different from the U sound though

my folks are Dutch, I'm born outside so my primary language is English and never formerly learned Dutch (wasn't a thing in NZ schools) - but I get by, and boosted by a couple of years living in Utrecht including some with other family that didn't speak any English (yeah, your choice: learn to talk or go hungry ).
so used to accented English (from parents and their friends),
... but still always felt awkward when told say "the "Kant's" were coming over to visit," or similar with that family. (great people though.)
works both ways though: while in Utrecht, now I'm the one with the different [zeker niet nederlands] accent I never got the hang of properly sounding "kat" vs ... 
--- guarding myself I would normally use "poes"

true, the young ones all speak (taught) English, but not so much the older generation.
Same thing here in Singapore, kids speak English - taught in school, a lot of old folks though never learned it. (Yeah of course only takes a bit more effort to communicate - not going hungry here either - that was more of a joke.) China is getting that way too (despite the fact worldwide Mandarin is bigger then English). Seems only Japanese (pride) and French (arrogance - even when they can understand it) avoid English.
Best "English" speakers I found were in Norway (younger ones), in fact they spoke it better (more correctly) than the Brits. We all know native speakers are lazy, "can I have a ..." when they meant "may I" ... (I'm sure all languages have stuff this too) - somehow the Norwegians got English without the lazy.
not knowing a language has it's advantages too, I'd always smile through a tirade of complaints about me to my wife from my mother in law - yeah I got the jist from the tone and amount of times my name was repeated, and always thoroughly enjoyed it.

It is worth noticing that every time you refer to the mouse in Norwegian, it has a similar secondary meaning. (You can imagine how we sometimes refer to the scroll wheel.)

Also Norwegian, where it means edge (of a counter, for example).
