  1. Now that I think about it, anyone remember The Fabulous Bumblebees ?
  2. Genre: A category of artistic composition, as in music or literature, marked by a distinctive style, form, or content. A sound, sort of. An identifiable sound. The sound of amazement??!!

    As Invader Zim would say: "Finally, things are back to normal. In fact, they're even more normal now than they ever were". Looks fine to me. I must have come inbetween the more violent disruptions because I never saw more than the right hand column font size decrease, from about a 2 to a 1. Everything else has always looked normal as cake.

    Should I make it bigger? The quote I mean? :)--> I'm only seeing smaller fonts on the Forum listing pages. These fonts appear normal. In fact, they're only smaller on my trouser, I mean browser, on the main Forum listing page, to the right, where it says "last post"...the rest appears normal. I'm down with those changes, 'ey.

    Is this the Amazing Sea Monkeys HTML Friendly Forum!?
  6. Tom of the Strangeshire may have a thought... To share is to live and to live is to share! A la, did your hubbie check out the tune, Waddid he think? Maybe we can have a sea monkey genre! Music in the ASM genre. Then we can have departures from the genre, for diversity. And then we can come back to the ASM roots.... It'll be swell!!!!
  7. Raf - All threads are supposed to go through the Mod Admin Consolidaton Kit, or "MOCK" for short. I swear I saw this on a thread earlier but it may have been grandfathered in to the deletion migration that followed the new procedures. Basically, everyone gets a kit with forms, quality control criteria and a nifty little software tool that determines 1)where your thread can be best located 2) size restrictions and 3)forms for special requests like use of the "GSProfanity Icons/Emoticons". There's some neat new ones available, "Poo Poo Head", "Tool Nose", etc. I'm surprised you didn't get your copy yet. Just kidding. Paw, just kidding...put down that....PAW!!! just kiddddding!!!! :D--> really. Satori's back, you say? I may have to check out that J Dub site. Are they still online and alive post-Satori? Just kidding, all J Dubs. Really....! Put down that .... stop!! justkiddddding!!!! don't spread that....stoppp!

    UH, now we're talkin'... ...it saves you time! and it's healthy...it cuts the fat!
  9. A la, years ago I was in a band that used to go and set up in .... a laundromat, in Berkeley California. On Telegraph Ave, which was the "hippie" avenue in the 60's, there was a coin laundromat a few blocks down from Sproul Plaza. The back door was always open, to an alley behind it. So one night a band I was in named "Cosby" was jamming around and someone came up with this idea. We didn't have a gig that night and were messing around. So we drove over there, pulled up in the alley and just started putting our stuff up in the back, found a couple outlets, plugged everything in and started playing. We were able to fit the drums, amps and a single p.a. speaker with the system. We did it a couple times. The place would fill with people and we'd be able to play for awhile before the police would show up and ask what the !@#$ was going on and if we had a permit, etc. We'd play for awhile longer and finally get chased out. It was fun to do, "stealth" gigs.
  10. Yeayuh! Y'know I've always pictured the Snorky characters when I picture Amazing Sea Monkeys! They have that little snorkley thing on the top of their heads, which could be a retrofitted oxygen line, left from when they migrated to earth, 1000's of years ago! I think the French know more than they're letting on!!!! Oui! The French know. You KNOW they know.
  11. "Les Snorks" was an animated children's series made in France. I saw it somewhere on tv, maybe Nickleodeon or a PBPS station, not sure. They were cool undewater creatures, that swam around and had adventures! This page has an image too, scroll down a ways and look on the left panels.
  12. A band? Sounds amazing! Bluzeman plays guitar, right?! Leseee...ASM is a great name for a band! Name reminds me vaguely of a band out of Northern Cal that calls themselves "The Phenomanauts". They're a wacked out bunch, travel in a space-d up van and do gigs all over. My daughter's heard them and says they're actually pretty good, they usually dress in a sort of astronaut them, silver suits, goggles, etc. One thing they do is show up at big concerts that hit town and drive in, b.s. their way through the loading entrance and wander around till they get set up, or find power and a likely spot. They fix breakfast burritos in the morning in their rv and deliver them to the production tent, ask for nametags and get tour id badges by making friends that way. I think they've done this at "Lollapalooza" and some tours like that. They set up before anyone knows they're there, and they play on the daystage, or anyplace they can. Sell CD's and stuff along the way, since they usually don't get paid at these gig. From there they just try to follow along and apparently get grafted in as the tour continues. Amazing!

    Hmmm. Well, maybe all of the barf bags and stuff is just to build an impression of the enormity of what's about to happen. Sort of a carny rap: "Ladeeez and gentlemen, what you are about to see beyond these curtains is not for the faint of heart! We ask that children under 12, please leave now! Nothing that has come before and nothing that will come hence is like unto this! Men, remove your belts, wallets, watches and any metal objects in your pockets, please! and place them in the baskets attendants are passing around even as I speak! They will be returned to you! Women, your handbags and satchels may be placed in the baskets at the door! Please take note of the registered nurses to the left and right and mark their faces, for if you require medical attention they will be there for you! We cannot be held in blame if you suffer mental or phsyical astoundment from the incredibly unexpected enormity of what...you...are about...to see! And now................................. on with the show!!!! Or maybe not. Athough it's seems really weird. People complain they were made to listen to all sorts of horrible Way music oh my god it's killin' me, and then turn around and, well..... I'm lost.
  14. A la, sounds like a great time. :)--> ... nice. Dance toonz - I wrote the song. The percussion are from samples I used to build 2 drum tracks using "Acid" loop software. The woman's voice, "poink" sounds at the beginning, "flute" call at the start, and crowd sounds are samples also, from "Acid" loops. The rest of the bass and guitars are me, recorded on my deck. The swooping squeedle effect is just me banging on the guitar and messing with the sound of it. I think there's maybe 6 guitar tracks total - one bass guitar, plus an assortment of 6 strings. I wrote the basic idea to start with on guitar, and then found and assembled the Acid drum and sound effect tracks on a pc and then imported them to my deck. Then I added the guitar and bass tracks on top of it directly on the deck. It went through several versions while I mixed it and tweaked it. So it's like, me and my little digital band. :D--> Glad you are enjoying it! The love is shared with all!
  15. Liar typos aren't really the issue. I love typos. Embrace them. Cares them. See? :)--> There are two issues I see immediately in regards to how you present your views as you have - accuracy, reliablity and integrity. Typos reflect on them. Assuming you're serious, and I will, you invite people to fly to your city and meet with you for a witnessed and taped dicussion of important and serious matters in regards to VPW, the Way and apparently much more. First - integrity and reliablity. I have no idea who you are or what validates your opinions, ideas and information. You haven't stated that. Put as a question - "what makes you a worthwhile candidate for such an investment of time and money?" What do you have to offer? Integrity hasn't been established, in the sense of the makeup and quality of what you have to offer. Neither has reliability. How reliable a source are you? While your offer is very aggressive it could be a complete waste of time if you're a bad source of information, worse still if you're just a well-meaning idiot who really has nothing to offer but simply wants to get something off his chest and considers it valiant to do so. If the former you offer nothing but endless debate and possible personal humiliation to yourself. If the latter you could accomplish your challenge by simply carrying it out on GS in a "free" posting environment where you could 1) present your information, 2) explain and document it and 3) receive responses and discussion. And all for "free", no airline peanuts, little hassle. This fly up and see me sometime stuff just comes across as bluster and blow and more blow than anything. So whether you're 1 or 2 of the above, or something else entirely, why not take me up on it? State your case, document and explain it, and let everyone who chooses have the benefit of it? Here. Now. Accuracy - well, it would be at least a good will gesture towards establishing yourself as someone worth reading and visiting for such a serious challenge if you typed your ideas coherently. The fact that you don't doesn't tell me you're entirely out to lunch. It just indicates that perhaps you're in too big a hurry, rushing to get your ideas out without giving them the benefit of a second read. If that's the case, what does it say about your other ideas? One thing about VPW you will probably know and remember - he was a big one for accuracy. In speech, print, you name it. An incorrectly spelled word...just one...in a Way Magazine and he'd be down everyone's throats. Why? "If you're not accurate on the little things you won't be accurate on the big things, the Word people!" If you're going to establish yourself so aggressively as a reliable and worthwhile source of anything resembling the Word, and do it in the same breath as VPW and his ministry, that would be a place to start - accurately rendering your contributions. Either way, I'm not a total word-nanny. I'll read what you have to say either way, if you'll say it. I'm just suggesting that if you're going to puff up your uh, chest and invite the whole world to a duke-out, make it at least appear like you've got something in your glove. edited for .... tiepose of all manner and shape!
  16. Figured you'd be tired of it by now Tom, thanks! We got yer dancin' sea monkeys!, yer rabbits. Let it rain the love of the amazing sea monkeys! over all! :P-->
  17. No chit WhiteDove! We got monkeys everywhere! Speaking of rabbits Tom, here's an instrument song I recorded for all lovers of Amazing Sea Monkeys! everywhere. It's titled Desert Rain Dance (I Like That Beat) - click on that it'll come up. For your auditory enjoyment and cranial pleasures. Hope you guys like it, it's sort of a collage of different ideas in a jazzy container. It started as a weird little idea and ended up a weird...bigger idea. :D--> Big thanks! to Bluzeman for providing the server space to store it!

    :)--> I moved my lips, my tongue, my fingers....Wait, better stop, this should go on the Open Forums "Let's Talk About Sex" thread. Maybe this is why we don't talk about sex on GS. After thinking about Momentus I don't feel like it, I got a headache. "Again? We just did it last year!" kind of a feeling. Which could be a good thing in certain circumstance, pardon the pun. Sort of a mental cold shower, a full-brain condom. Birth Control For The Philosophical. Dunno. --> Either way, lest this derail become an outright train wreck I'll stop now before it's "too late".

    I need a discount! And I may need Momentus too excyadra! What I really need is a class, of any kind, where someone will pay me for taking it. And I don't mean a "you can't afford NOT to take this class!" come on. I mean, actual cash money, dough-ski bro-ski, no coin all bills. Lean mean green. Folding paper of the Treasury kind. I want the bucks to stop right here. Lots of them. And I'd like the "price" of the class to GO UP! Cuz it's worth it! To show me they're really committed to their material. If it's that good, they should be willing to pay me! I need it! Can't do with out it! Got-ta got-ta have it! "Make Me Be Good" by socks (spritely, with feeling!) Make me an offer I can't refuse. Make me an offer in a form I can use. Give it to me hard. Give it to me mean. Just keep it coming till you hear me scream. Do it in love and do it again! Until I am crawling under my own skin. I love it, you have such a way with the lash! I'll be back again as soon as you have some more cash!!!

  22. Wow, Liar. Congrats. Some questions though, please... Who the heck is "noone"? Apparently noone is a real loon and won't step up to the plate like a real adult and take you for their huckleberry. I would but noone has first dibs. Plus I'm married, and my huckleberries are taken. Noone, come out wherever you are, don't hide! Another question, what's a "special seared consicence" and what does it have to do with Pete Rose? I've read about his gambling but if he's consicencing around too, I'd like to know more. And, Do we really "lie in an age of grace"? What I mean is, do I HAVE to lie? I really don't want to, but if you're saying I have to "lie in an age of grace", I'll need some documentation. I figure you'll know, Liar. I've got more questions but I'll hold them in abeyance until the right time.
