ROFLMAO!!!
That vid SO reminds me of my babies' daddy....He was in a "garage band", and when he played, he would turn his back to the audience (for his own stage-shyness)....
but he told me about a pal of his who had a "one-man-band" called "Chet and the Fart-tones". He had a drum machine and a guitar. And put on shows....just he and his drum machine.
Too funny!

Happy solstice, my dear!

Excelent compositing, but what I REALLY wanna know is: where do I get a hat like that?!?

I'm always in the market for something new to make my kids roll their eyes!

Aaahh, that'll be your age letting you know that the fashion-race is over!
Cardigans, one huge bootie and perusing Charity Stores will be your standard
pathway now, prepare thyself!

Oh golly-gosh... I'm loving and hating your episodes everytime I read 'em!
This 'Mac' gjuy has it coming and all I ask is to make sure the lousy bas...
(deep whine of poor transmission)... suffers.

The hat is for sale...do a google search for "Mohawk nepalese hat".

Here's on on ebay (not the same image as the one I c/p for the composite):compare.ebay.com...
Didn't BIAD do a great job?? I just love it. Makes me chuckle every time I look at it...



And here's a link to a shop in the UK....BIAD, run out and grab a couple of these hats...today!! (scroll down the page to the mohawk hat) www.thefairtradeshop.co.uk...

Holy Crap!! Silo, you're scaring me.
Where is this stuff coming from, dear? *worries lower lip with teeth* We gotta get Maggie/Silo outta there, those people are insane!

Question to throw out to the group.
We know 'Pip' fired a shot.
But who did he shoot?
Even I don't know yet.
Film at 11.

It's J.R isn't it... BIAD reckons it's somebody called JR Eweing and
he said something about Neno appearing from the shower!

Or am I getting mixed up with another thread?

I'm plunking down 20 intergalactic credits on the circle labeled "Pip shot mac because he turned away too soon".

Hope he didn't kill him and spoil all of neno's fun, but if he did, the man had it coming any how. There's always Taggart to deal with. Neno will have fun enough out of that if Mac has met an untimely demise.

Well, no, that's not exactly right... ANY demise for Mac would be a timely one....

By the by I'm trying to put together a 'top ten' quote from the Opera over the last year.
Problem is two-fold.
One, I can't find the post where the words '...pats Mary's ass' is located...

Note to Mods: Ass in this case is an animal, not a...well..the profanity thingy...

So, BIAD, you have any idea where I might find that quote?


ADDED NOTE: I still don't know who shot who but I don't think there was anyone hiding in the shower. You never know though on 'Saga Two'...

I like the quote from a conversation Neno has with Margot-
"Oh, no doubt or denial about it, I'm another one of them sumbidges what kills folks for a living".
Difference is, I kill folks so that other folks have a fighting chance at living.
He kills 'em just to make 'em dead, and he leaves NO surviviors
He'll eventually get every damned one of us. NO survivors. Ain't nobody gettin' out of this life alive."

"You're in luck Missus, I spied a building about a few hundred feet of here" Nenothtu said and patted Mary's ass. Joseph looked out into the blackness and wondered how the stranger could see anything out there, this tall man would certainly need watching.

AHHHHH-HAHAHAHA-HAAA! There ya go!

Yep, the Neno quote is number one for serious for sure. Your's dat comical ting you duz so well!

Thank you!

*Back to finishing off post*...

It's a masterpiece of double entendre in at least two places, mixed with a healthy dose of that "dry" brand of British humor, and delivered deadpan. I'm not entirely sure if I've plumbed the full depths of it, even yet!

One would presume that neno would bear CLOSE watching after "patting Mary's ass", but instead, he bears watching because he has passable night vision?

Cleese ain't got nothin' on our own BIAD!

Neno's humor, on the other hand, is entirely of the Benny Hill variety,,,

ETA: Apologies for my recent slackness. I've been off to the wars, fighting the good fight, and taking the occasional drubbing, then this evening I got called in to work again on one of those short notice "need ya NOW" assignments. I'll get back into the saddle before long.

I must admit, conferences were attended and healthy debate was held
in rural hotels over breakfast croissants -before it was agreed to use the
'Ass-Pat' quote.
Obviously, my Manager and Agent contacted the Vatican incase of any
fallout, but as Cardinal Unefinger said "if it doesn't mention kids, then we're
a-okay... now, where's the envelope?"

BIAD assured me that when he clicked 'reply' and saw the comment on the
site, the Man/Girl swore he heard a door slamming closed far-off.

So Carpet's made a choice it seems we've been waiting for forever.
With the addition of the new U-man suits (thank you BIAD) Carpet's now the epitome of Pinocchio.
Will he or wont he?
I bet he will.

I'm still waiting on the shot fired in the compound.

peace to all these Holidays and beyond...

Hi team,
I want to apologize for my absence lately. I just haven't the energy or the inspiration at the moment. I do think about Gert, Dag, Brittle, Adam every day....I just haven't figured out what's next.

I could write a dull post just to move it along if you want....
I just haven't come up with any ideas worth writing imo. I'll continue to work it through my mind...
hugs to all!!

BIAD has asked me to type his words... so here goes.

'Merry Christmas to you -my 'cyber-family' I look forward
to working with you and possibly borrowing shoes from the
girls in...' (aw heck, he's off on one again! I'll bring him back
to the reservation... one moment please)

'Sorry about that, too much chocolate.
Have a great Christmas and enjoy the days off, get your 'writing-heads'
back on for an eventful 2012!
About the shoes, what I meant was...'

Have a good one from myself and him.

reply to post by A boy in a dress


Thanks and ditto to you, my coworkers in delight. Tell BIAD I got rd of all my high heel shoes except one pair. But he can borrow my thigh-high patent-leather boots if he likes. And I've a extra pair of bloomers for him, as well!

Happy happy turn of the seasons to you all. I am grateful and indeed feel blessed to have you all in my heart and in my life. Brightest blessings to each and all!

Please, please... the poor creature is trying to focus on the next
episode of The Opera and then 'BAM!' leather boots & Bloomers
hit him right between the... well, it hit him on the head.

Poor sot didn't stand a chance and now is sat rubbing his thighs
and mumbling to himself... oh well, just another typical Christmas
Eve!!

Oh... for Silo. Tumbler II was dropped off this morning and I have
the paperwork if you want it.
