Beckn...uh...I mean... "Foda"...I locked the thread about Ian because the question was already answered, and the last thing I wanted was for anything unnecessary to get started. Also, it should've been here in the Sandbox, as it was not an on-topic Beach Boys related post.

 Besides, Ian is still here under another name, so it was irrelevant.

That sound you just heard was the point of this wooshing over my head... 

Maybe it's a subconcious wish to look like that... 

That rocks! 

That is....one of the....COOLEST album covers I've seen. I dunno why, I just like it.

No problem. I always find some cool stuff on there.

And I'm going to lock this, as I just *know* Ian's reading this as a guest. Call it a hunch, but I don't anything gettiung started.

*Actually, he already re-registered, making this all moot anyway.

Post pictures of yourself here. We've always wanted to see what each other looks like,right? Besides, this was a seemingly popular thread on the old site.

I'll go first.

It's blank!

Umm....umm...let's just say he left and isn't coming back.
 
Enough said.

I think they cut the wrong person. That geeky kid, Kevin,  needs to go in a hurry. He couldn't hold a note if it was stapled to his hand.

I now get an error message. What gives?

A demo of a song I'm working on. Still working the chords. I'm starting to get a melody together, and hope to turn this into a full fledged song soon.

Veteran soul singer Isaac Hayes, voice of the libidinous character "Chef" on the satiric cable TV cartoon "South Park," said on Monday he was quitting the show, citing its "inappropriate ridicule" of religion.

"There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs ... begins," Hayes said in a statement.

Hayes, 63, a devoted follower of the Church of Scientology, did not mention a "South Park" episode that aired last fall poking fun at Scientology and some of its celebrity adherents, including actor Tom Cruise.

Rather, Hayes said the show's parody of religion is part of what he saw as a "growing insensitivity toward personal spiritual beliefs" in the media generally, including the recent controversy over cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad.

The singer, who became the first black composer to win an Oscar for best song with his theme to the film "Shaft," said he formally asked to be released from his contract with "South Park," on the Comedy Central cable channel.

A spokesman for the Viacom Inc.-owned network said producers of the show and its creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, had agreed not to "enforce" Hayes' contract.

"Obviously, Matt and Trey are disappointed that he's not going to be part of the show, but they're not going to make him do something he doesn't want to do," the spokesman, Tony Fox, told Reuters.

However, he said Stone and Parker "feel that it's a bit disingenuous (for Hayes) to cite religious intolerance as a reason for him pulling out of the show" because the series has lampooned religion since its start, taking shots at Catholics, Jews, Muslims and Mormons, among others.

The series grew out of two short films by Parker and Stone, "Jesus vs. Frosty" and "The Spirit of Christmas," the latter featuring a martial-arts duel between Jesus and Santa Claus over the true meaning of Christmas.

"Their premise is as long as you can make fun of everybody, then everybody is a potential target," Fox said. "The minute you start pulling punches, then the show's reason for being sort of gets compromised."

The crudely animated cartoon, heading into its 10th season next week as one of Comedy Central's biggest hits, centers on the antics of four foul-mouthed fourth graders in the town of South Park, Colorado.

Hayes joined the show in 1997, supplying the baritone voice of Jerome "Chef" McElroy, the rotund school cafeteria cook whom the boys often seek out for advice.

In an episode last fall, one of the gang, Stan, scores so high on a Scientology test that church followers think he is the next L. Ron Hubbard, the late science-fiction writer who founded the religion. Hayes did not take part in that episode.

In an interview with Reuters late last year, Hayes talked about a foundation he formed to bring Scientology-based study techniques to disadvantaged inner-city schools, in partnership with fellow devotee Lisa Marie Presley.

"But it's not religious," he said then. "It's just something that people need."

...or lack thereof....

They dropped out over THAT?!

Susan is THE MAN! Well, sh*t, I mean, the WOMAN.

Meh... Doesn't quite have the same ring to it. Anyway, what I mean is...Susan's great.

Basically, Brad is fishing for money again, promising 100% returns or part ownership of the company he's trying to create.

*Cue ominous music*

I don't believe a word of it.

I've never even heard of it.

It hasn't rained in a while, either, at least not here in Houston. Odd, because it used to rain a lot more when I was a kid.

It's been snowing in the San Francisco Bay Area.  It's freezing cold here (and my central heat went out, perfect).  It's been cold for a month here, and it's even been cold a lot in Southern California.  Plus, it's rained buckets, hailed, and there were funnel clouds around Sacramento today.

Yes, the world is ending.

Heineken.

I'll let the official Smiley Smile kitten respond to that one.

Take it away, fluffy...

Congratulations!
