You know, it's sick people like you sick people who make me sick. The duck is clearly just getting ready to consume a delicious, turgid, throbbing, swollen worm.
Sometimes a worm is just a worm, perverts!
(Hi! Thanks for the link MCT! I feel famous!)
I work for a large county in Texas, we use Novell Groupwise for email/scheduling stuff. I'm not crazy about it, but I guess it's no worse than Outlook.
One of the things that works really really well with it is email recalls. If you bothc a message you can easily see if the message has been displayed or not and, if it hasn't, you can slurp it back out of their inbox without a trace. Handy!
The earliest place I heard it was on an old Bill Cosby record, I think it was "I Started Out As A Child" but it could have been "When I Was A Kid". His father says it.
Judging by the enormous laugh it gets (there was an audience) I don't think it was a well-known joke at the time, whether it was his joke or not. And those records were HUGE sellers, very very popular. I would be surprised if the popularity of the Cos' version of that gag is not the patient zero of the popularity of that gag in general today.
You know, thinking about it now (on fake preview) it could have been Bill Cosby "Himself", his concert movie, which played about every 15 minutes on HBO in the mid '80s, and was the basis, sort of for much of the early episodes of the Cosby Show.
I've got two: one is I am standing at the bus stop, or maybe just at a crosswalk, when a bus swings by and the mirror just barely clips my head, instantly erasing my brain but leaving no clear mark.
two is I am driving with my elbow out the window and it it somehow gets sheared off by another car or a jersey barrier.
I contributed this. Is this self link ok?
Also, there was another pool that was around before Sleeveface called LP Portraits. Sleeveface has a much better name, though. Still, there are some really good ones in LP Portraits that never made it to Sleeveface like this one.
Ok monkeys!
We're CD swapping!
Normally we would do groups of five but unfortunately we have had a sort of feeble turnout for this swap - 13 people. In this case I think it'd be best to split into two roups, one of 6 people and one of 7 people. If you have a different proposal I'd be happy to hear it. 4,4,5 could work too, but then many of us would only get 3 CD's. I'm a more is better guy.
If you know anyone (or several anyone's) who could round our number up to 15, that'd be ideal.
At any rate, your mission:
1) Reply to this, saying you are still in for the swap, and are willing to make 5 or 6 CD's (or that you are NOT still in, or only want to make two CD's, or you have a hut-in grandmother who wants to make CD's, or whatever)
2) Send an email to ME (dirtd...@gmail.com) with your Monkeyfilter handle, your real name and your mailing address.
3) Wait patiently while this information works it's way through the machinery. Eventually this large group will be split into several smaller and nearly equal groups. Wow!
4) Receive email from me with your group information.
5) Make CD's!
6) Send off CD's several days too late, pretending like you've already sent them and don't know why they haven't shown up yet.
(I've also posted this to the group)
I've got to tell you, I don't think the Hobbit has nearly the cinematic potential that Lord of the Rings had. I mean, I'll go, midnight opening night, (just like I did for the other 3 movies) and I'll love it, but it just isn't as good a story.
Commence to bashing me with sticks.
OK! So, a motion is on the floor to extend sign-ups for one week. No dissenting opinions have been offered, the motion passes due to inertia and apathy.
The new sign-up deadline is now Friday, December 21.
I say we leave the send CD's date the same - January 7. I figure those of us already signed up can make our CD's without knowing the full size of the final group, and those who sign up late can just sprint a little. Any dissenting opinions?
Also, to be clear: anyone who wants to post their MP3's somewhere are welcome and encouraged to do so, and are also welcome and encouraged to use this thread and the MOFICDX group to do so BUT saying "I'm in!" or signing up for the group means making CD's. Unless you say it doesn't.
So, keep spreading the word!
(Tracicle, any way we could get the sidebar link that currently goes to Shotsy's dead board to go here or the MOFICDX group instead?)
We settle on a date to close the swap to members. I'm thinking this coming Friday the 14th, a week from the date the thread started. It'll be buried by then and I suppose we'll have gotten everyone we're getting.
Everyone signs up for the Google group. It's a good way to centralize the information and have the ability to email while keeping it reasonably private. If anyone REALLY has a problem joining the group I'll take care of you but the group'll be easiest.
I mix and match names so we end up with groups containing roughly 6. Each monkey then makes 5 mix CD's and sends them out to the other 5 people in their group. We'll need to settle on a date to send the CD's. My initial thought is Monday, January 7th - 1 month since the opening of the thread - but I'm open to suggestions.
Each monkey RECEIVES 5 CD's in the mail, and wonders about the odds of receiving 5 diffferent CD's containing the same obscure Partridge Family B-side.
Profit!!
Tell your monkey buddies! The more people who sign up the more fun we'll have!
I'll be updating the groups page and this thread with updates, so keep checking back in. I'll also post relevant information and links on the group thread (CD templates that I've found useful, a primer on copyright law, etc...)
I tend to like actual CD's too. Part of the fun, for me, is the real-world manifestation of online people. BUT, it couldn't hurt to ALSO post MP3's at one of those places, so monkeys who were not in your group can still dig your stuff.
If you want.
See, I just don't think the kid is that good.
Every time some jackass or jackass' cat, or kid, or genitals, claims that they are an ABSTRACT ARTIST they sort of suck. See, cause, as Kitfisto eloquently stated, the shit ain't easy.
My 8 month old can make many syllables. I don't understand what he is saying, but I don't understand Japanese either. I can therefore assume he is speaking Japanese, right?

- Everyone signs up for the Google group. It's a good way to centralize the information and have the ability to email while keeping it reasonably private. If anyone REALLY has a problem joining the group I'll take care of you but the group'll be easiest.
