how on earth did you manage to pull that one out?

Out of ALL the music friends I have (and having written the occasional piece on music, culture, or music and culture), I can count on the fingers of one hand the number that could tie those three together.

So this is obviously some huge cosmic hiccough and will be righted by the Cub's winning the World Series, or you have some rather serious 'splainin to do, young Master CADude.

I can't help but see you lurking, justin.....

You know valis, I keep looking at your avatar, waiting for it to blink. I swear that I read some interchange between you and Noob(?) around Christmas and you getting an eye blinking one.

[valis]

yeah, I got the blinking one around here somewhere.....there were some issues with some gif files not rendering correctly, I think, and I switched it back. Now that the problem is fixed, I should probably track that one down, eh?

If we were to be voting on this, I'd say pick a less creepy avatar. Blinking or no, it's still not something you really want to look at--especially not first thing in the morning. However, I'd say that the blinking one would probably more "cool".....I guess?

Random thought: Well, it's really not so random now. If I come here to post it, and label it as a "random thought", is it still random? Or is it a subconscious excuse to post in this thread? I need some caffeine. And a sledgehammer. And some money to replace the object the aforementioned sledgehammer needs to bash into teensy-weensy pieces. And then, I'll need a stiff drink. Followed by......well, I don't think you need to hear any more.

My mind works in mysterious ways. I wonder if I should delete the last post, before it scares the children.

TOO late! And don't forget the cats, dogs, and other animals too.....

Random Thought of the Day - Rutabaga. Did I spell that correctly?

Nope, nothing against self-portraits, but I know that you are much cuter than that.

I like THIS one...it made me laugh out loud. I know someone who would SO do that.

"cute" i've never been, and I left handsome in the dust some years ago. I may pass for 'rugged', but it would be more in the classical sense of a 1942 Ford with terminal cancer of the rocker arms and enough rust on the frame that you can see the road passing under your feet..

But thank you for the compliment anyhow, becca.

and I'm glad that we have another convert to red meat.

[DarqueMist]

Why has it taken me this long to discover Red Meat?

[Spandexer]

Me too. I always wondered where Valis got that very strange somewhat disturbing pic for his avatar.

[CADude12]

I have always suspected it was a "sort of" self-likeness. Seeing as Valis probably comes from the acronym for "Vast Intelligent Living System", referring to the novel of the same name by Philip K. Dick, I'm suspecting the avatar is not directly related to the name. And from Red Meat, obviously, Texas is involved, in some small way, from the longhorn skull on the chain around the neck of this zombie character. This is not visible in the avatar.

All of which means absolutely nothing.
