Re: More cartoonists losing my respect…

True story about DC Simpson. He's a lunatic who accepted money from a chummy chum of mine who had just fathered twin boys and wanted (god bless his geekery) a commission from DC as a commemorative whatever. Long story short, the commission never materialised, mostly on account of DC refusing to resp...

Re: Creative outlets

I'll listen to those later, for now I'm killing time at a train station. Guitar, ukulele and, lately, some keyboard. One day I'm going to take singing lessons. When...you know...hell freezes over. Or I have some spare money lying around. Whichever comes first. Funny story - I hardly upload any of th...

Re: Creative outlets

Some of those aren't bad. There's a lot of art in my family (my sister, in particular, has sold art in galleries and designed logos for companies, clever girl that she is). I said share and share alike and didn't, I'm a kaka-poopie-doopie naughty, me. Beholden: Hookless, badly sung songs - http://ww...

The internet has made pookie a very sexual word. Though you can run that sentence as a mad lib:

So, art is one. Writing is one. Music is another. I'm not a man blessed with talent in any of the obvious areas and I find it very hard to express myself creatively and I'm always massively impressed by people who manage to invent something that wasn't there before, be it a picture, a story, a song ...

Re: So, there's a store now

It was one of those days that lasted far longer than it should have and ended up with my being drunk when I shouldn't have been.

In other words - a good day!

Re: art

At the end of the day, nothing beats a bit of elbow grease. I was categorically told that I had no musical talent whatsoever and that I'd never play an instrument but now I play a number of instruments (at a mediocre level, admittedly, I do lack talent but not damned determination). With art, I don'...

You've never heard of "Why Does the Sun Shine?" or "Istanbul (not Constantinople)"? CRAZY. as for They Might Be Giants, though I have over five hundred of their songs on my iTunes, 'Birdhouse' is the only song they've charted significantly and been recognised for in my native la...

Re: [0076]/[0077] That Forrest owner...

Apparently I need better examples of one hit wonders. This is distressing but regardless, I defend: I'm Irish and in Ireland, '99 Red Balloons' was the only song Nena was ever known for and as for They Might Be Giants, though I have over five hundred of their songs on my iTunes, 'Birdhouse' is the o...

And I saw the President of the House Owner's association in the 'Over the Hedge' film and also my old maths teacher Miss Lewsley (who was lovely, but had black hair and an austere dressing style). Someone else thinks Sarah Palin, but I don't see that. I bet she's nice if she's had a few glasses of w...

Re: Your favorite comic strips

In no particular order and with explanations: The Far Side: I'm loving how many mentions it gets here. Nobody can do the 'something terrible is about to happen and that's hilarious' gag like Larson. 'The Pre-History of the Far Side' is a must-read for anyone with any interest in comics as an express...

Re: Wiley Miller (Non Sequitur) thinks $1.9M is a fair punish…

Anyone who knows anything about music knows that recording music traps its soul and makes the song cry. An entire industry based on enslaving melodies until they don't even have the spirit left to lift their eyes at feeding time? It's a shame, I tell you, a dread shame. The only way to stop music pi...

Re: Heroes and Thieves by Vanessa Carlton

I'd like to add some love for piano-playing talented pop females in this thread. Delta Goodram ("Innocent Eyes" is beautiful) Melissa Schatz ("Runs with Foxes" may start with the exact same chord as "It's all coming back to me now" but oh, it goes places from there. Lov...
