Wow! I never knew a single great-grandparent, they all died before I was born. And my sons only know grandmothers - my dad died before they were born, and BR's dad is a deadbeat loser who screwed off long ago and we just don't really talk about much.

Sorry for your loss Ep, sounds like she might have had a very fulfilling life.

It isn't playing with the Philharmonic, it isn't even playing the piano part but rather the celesta part, for which there isn't even a celesta available but rather only a keyboard set on celesta - but hey, I'll take it.

Technology these days makes it a very close sonic match.

I'm sure many have seen this, but wow.

Whatever this means, I'm in the same boat.

LOL it was something that I posted just in case. I was probably drunk.

"I don't do anything commonly"

She better make the fence grow back sturdier too.

Too many COOKS.

And this?

Photobucket is screwy right now, and I can't upload photos. I'm trying to share a Google Photos image with G-Man, and he says he couldn't see it. SO I'm just posting here in Randomville to test. Can anyone see this?



I can see it. But maybe I'm the only one.

No, you won.

Although you just lost the game.

It's the very first time I'd fallen for it.

WTF? It's gone already!!!

Yeah. I should grab Sandman. And there's some number of Recruitment Mafias over there as well.

I managed to get the first page of the A World Apart thread saved for posterity.

"HOOK"

What is this again?

Great idea, thesock73!

Also, I thought the space-God version of your avatar was pretty snazzy.

I just watch the commercials on the Internet... people conveniently post them all on online together! I've never cared much for sports. My mom is a huge Blue Jays fan, so I've seen more baseball than anything else.

I do get excited when a hometown team gets to the finals of whatever sport though. Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup playoffs, Blue Jays going for the World Series, I assume if the Raptors made the finals I would be excited. I like the proud coming together of the people, and the excitement.

Indeed I am! It went well. The host was in Boston and the director in Burbank, so I was in a room by myself with a microphone and headphones. I only got to talk for about 5-10 minutes out of the hour, but I think I handled myself well. The director said "Logan is right" at one point, so that was a high point.

The episode has been posted online if you're interested.

Your voice was disappointingly normal for someone with that moustache.

That's a fake voice I put on for radio. I actually sound like Hans Conried.

Yes!! That's more like it!

No, wait - Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York! That's how I read your posts, when I have the wherewithal.

There was a professional baseball player (I forget who) that got pulled over. Cop looked at his license and said, "Says here you need glasses, where are they?" Baseball player: "I've got contacts." Cop: "I don't care who you know, you still have to wear your glasses!"

Did you drop the mic then?

Because I noticed you did just now.
