[QUOTE]Tullgren’s new boss has agreed to give him time off to see concerts, and lets him dress how he wants and play heavy metal music while washing dishes, provided it is not too loud when there are guests at the restaurant.[/QUOTE] Coolest boss ever [editline]20th December 2012[/editline] Jesus Christ 300 concerts a year

He has the life

[QUOTE=Alan Ninja!;38907224]300 concerts a year[/QUOTE] Surely he must be hard of hearing, that's probably what the disability benefit's really about

fucking metal

I bet he listens to Manowar, it just seems to fit the lifestyle.

This guy knew him on Reddit. [quote]This guy was our dishwasher at my high school, I don't know if he still works there. He is like a living lexicon of all things metal. His vast collection of metal memorabilia is his apartment stunned everyone that went in there. The guy is basically working for "minimum wage" paid by the government and saves it up to go to concerts. He is not a "normal" metal head and there is clearly something wrong with his mind, it is just that his mental problems are focused on his obsession with metal. Despite that he, like all metal heads are the some of the nicest people you can get to know. THE WORLDS COOLEST Dishwasher in my book, so many stories to impress the students with. After the news article was published on his government welfare check in the local newspaper back in 2004-2005, all students felt sorry for him, but it somehow made him cooler in our eyes as well.[/quote]

I have a feeling he's somewhat mentally stunted at least in some way

[quote]Tullgren said he got hooked on heavy metal at age 2 when his older brother came home with a Black Sabbath album.[/quote] Truly what you call 'metal for life'.

-snip- Read down below. I am a retard that misses a lot even on a second read.

He has clearly got some sort of disability, I can tell you right now that benefits like these do not come easy. So hold off your "lol socialism" comments.

EDIT: WOW I'M FUCKING BLIND IT SAYS IT IS A ADDICITON. Bad reading alert mega. Dammit I read it twice.

Sounds an awful lot like a drug dependency. Metal is his drug. 10 years years he been trying for this too. [video=youtube;02qs8Ptly0E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02qs8Ptly0E[/video]

Can I become addicted to hookers?

There are far worse misusers of the system and that's the people we need to focus on.

is he a huge metal fan [IMG]http://s1.static.gotsmile.net/images/2011/05/02/huge-metal-fan-comic-similar_130434828742.jpg[/IMG]

Maybe it is enough of a psychological issue that it could be considered an addiction, but if you're not even trying to fight an addiction, why should you expect your fellow citizens to pay for it? It's not like alcohol addicts are given money from the state to go spend on booze, they're expected to try to kick the habit and recover. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this guy doesn't seem to show any interest in recovery, so he's out having fun and going to concerts on the government's dime. That seems pretty dumb to me.

[quote]Tullgren said he got hooked on heavy metal at age 2 when his older brother came home with a Black Sabbath album.[/quote] i know the feeling bro

[QUOTE=Joazzz;38907195]looks like he's Addicted to Chaos[/QUOTE] I bet he is screaming these lines all the time: I see the warp's despair swallowing me! [b]CHAOS! Consume US![/b] I feel the warp over taking me, it is a [b]good pain[/b]

This thread makes me want to go on a heavy metal binge.

300 concerts in a year? That's brutal

Can I get thsoe because of my internet addiction?
