I guess the question is, why do we have that rule? Is it because Jeph doesn't like guns, full stop? Is it because we're worried about glorifying weaponary on a forum that could be accessed by children? Is it because of some American law I don't know about? Personally I find guns disturbing, but I think that's because I'm from the UK and we don't really have them here in the same way so to me, a gun is something alien and terrifying. But that isn't really a reason not to allow someone to post a photo of themselves doing something that is part of their identity.

I'm quite glad I'm not a moderator!

It would simply devolve to "my gun is bigger than your gun" arguments, and you know with that and the whole penis envy thing this place is hostile enough already.

So a student talked me into "No-shave November", but as a fair fight, we all had to be clean shaven on Nov 1...

OK, the last time I shaved my chin was when I broke my jaw (25 years ago this friday). The last time I had no moustache was sometime in 1978. My wife had never seen me this way, and says it creeps her out every time she looks at me...

I feel soooooo coooooold....

Josefbugman · « **Reply #105 on:** 05 Nov 2011, 03:30 »

I had whited my face up, but had to wash it off later in the evening.

I'd gone with an outfit to be made into a werewolf but unfortunatly the girls who were going to make me up were only in the middle of setting up the house. So I helped set up the house instead and just tore my clothing, wore white makeup with red round my face and claimed I was a zombie.

-shrug- You do what you can really.

5 1/2; his sister is 3. I doubt they did anything at Halloween; they weren't so well last week, and their (American) mother is in South America being strangled by John Malkovich again. They live in Germany, where I don't think Halloween is so big.

Halloween this year was pretty epic.

Josefbugman · « **Reply #108 on:** 05 Nov 2011, 05:02 »

Well it does look as if they are having fun. And I hope you are doing all the typical grandad stuff, like telling stories and hideously undermining their parents authority.

That does look pretty epic mate, but did you get a pretty lady grabbing you:

I THINK NOT!

(note: in case anyone can't tell I am not being entirely serious here).

Which is why so many people enjoy it no doubt.

a couple nights ago in Queens (Elmhurst) NY.

Hanging stage is hanging.An basically a see-through metal grate. So Maria had to get all fancy and wear underwear.

I would be scared shitless and unable to move on a stage like that.

Will she marry you though?

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #116 on:** 11 Nov 2011, 08:43 »

I think maybe you should. She seems nice.

Orbert · « **Reply #117 on:** 11 Nov 2011, 10:32 »

Went to a cookout. After we ate, people broke out guitars and stuff for the "sing-a-long" portion of the evening, and I had my flute in the car, so what the heck.

I know, lyric sheets. But not everybody knows all the words.

Someone yelled "Flute solo!" so I took one. It seemed to go well.

Damn, looks just like my neighbor's daughter.

Where are you?

Never mind, she wears a stud, not a hoop.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #119 on:** 11 Nov 2011, 15:07 »

Orbert, that looks like fun! What were you singing? I was once at a great party with loads of classical musicians and opera students and we had an impromptu concert. I had been planning to sing but I wasn't anywhere close to their league so I bottled out.

Orbert · « **Reply #120 on:** 11 Nov 2011, 15:14 »

It was basic campfire sing-a-long stuff. A bunch of Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, John Denver... stuff that old farts like myself who grew up in the 70's would know. Progressions were were simple (lots of A, D, G, and other guitar-friendly chords) so whipping up a countermelody, taking a solo (since no one else wanted to) and/or adding a well-known hook line wasn't a biggie. Pretty amateur stuff, but it was fun.

Now I want to go to one of your shows...

Same here, everytime I see some kind of see-through metal floor on the street I go as far away from it as I can.

Old picture (half a year ago I believe)... I just don't have too many pics. She's a very nice person.

Maria has a bad fear of heights. She had to keep her eyes forward. Also did I mention it jiggled if you moved? Yeah, I could tap my foot- that's about it.

Also Maria had to go down the block and buy some flats because her stilettos would have gotten caught in the grate.

Anyway, it was a cool place. After our show they had Karaoke and I totally f'd up Cake's version of I Will Survive.

Stilettos get stuck in fucking everything.

Also http://www.knoxivi.com/eleven_o_clock_rock <-- you can gawk at us online live Thursday (11/17) live from Knoxville 11AM EST. Maybe I'll embarrass myself so much I stop talking band in the snappy section. It could happen.

Here I am with some lady and a different hat. Brooklyn, last week.

Metal or not, it is altogether realistic no matter what. May I remind you, our summer tour ended a week earlier than planned due to our singer getting a fractured skull during a show.

Oh, yeah, you said, too true. I had forgotten.

Still, being dead can make you famous ... just saying ...
