This thing cracks me up.

Don't read anything.  Just count how many passes the white team makes.

I think the snow that we have now has glitters in it!   It sparkles!!!

Hahaha that's amazing!

[Bob]

Is this what Hell looks like?  Or is it just purgatory?

Death by accordions....

[Bob]

Or is this Hell?

Or answer D.  Both of the above.

[Bob]

If that is Hell, does that mean Liberace is the devil?

[Bob]

Whew... I was feeling old.  I thought an actor in a movie was either the same age as me or I was older than him.  Not so.  I checked.  I've got a few more years before I can start feeling old like that.

Willie Wanka and his Chocolate Factory.













 






Mahmoud Ahmadinejad  and his Uranium Factory.











"Those are going to some *wicked* pop rocks."











"I find dee pop rocks to be... highly stimulating in nature.  Yes.  Astonishingly good idea there, you must confess.  Heh, heh... With the proper techniques... I calculate a ratio of say... ten pop rocks to one liter of cola to be quite sufficient.  Pop rocks and cola... combined!  ...combined with a spirit of bold curiosity for dee adventure ahead!  Ha!  It vill quite easily be dee greatest pop rocks and cola experiment for at least one hundred years."

I think i'm growing too fast! What if i just keep growing like this for ever and then ill be as tall as buildings  and i wont be able to play my piano anymore!  But maybe i can get a gigantic piano then

That's interesting (and there's a shortage of long-haired headbanging pianists nowadays), but nothing will ever replace the kazookeylele.

The tweaked version.

(Bob is shocked)   My God....There are more kazookeylele videos out there.  More than the last time I saw them.  They've multiplied.  This is getting out of hand.  I think we should outlaw the kazookeylele.  It's an abomination of nature.  It's just not right.

[Bob]

I'm wondering how much money John Williams pulls in each time the Olympics rolls around.  He wrote the main themes.  I would imagine he gets some kind of royalty every time those themes are played.  


Kind of interesting.

[redragon]

It seems like John Williams writes all the main themes.

[Bob]

The future's on my mind.

[m19834]

The future's on my mind.

No, Bob ... it's IN your mind    

[ahinton]

Not so much "what's" as "who's"; Chopin - as we now approach his bicentenary on 1 March.

Best,

[john11inc]

(Bob puts the future 'near' his mind.)

(John puts the tesseract between Bob's mind and his future)

[Bob]

(Bob creates a wormhole and steps out on the other side of the tesseract... which was a lot more work than simply walking around the tesseract.)

(Bob wonders what type of space he's walking around in, but regardless, he's still closer to the future.)

(Bob looks back at the past... or tries to.  There's a tesseract in the way...  Bob contemplates creating another worm hole but then realizes the tessearct isn't solid.)

[m19834]

Just considering some ideas and my entire life and life itself in its entirety ( ), and then something "came" to me :

The perfect path is whatever your path, in pursuit of perfection.

I wonder, could that be true ?  hmmm.

[Bob]

I was just feeling protected in my protected area that I was guided to when I logged in.

(Bob feels protected... or did... Now Bob is unprotected... which sounds kind of wrong...)

[Bob]

I'm wondering if we'll evolve and have more senses in the future.  It seems like as things went along, creatures developed more abilities to perceive what's around them.  i wonder what the next things we would evolve would be.

[m19834]

Well, I am big round and hairy so I think that is a good name. In fact, I think i rather like it.

I do have a small collection of soft toys which includes about half a dozen bears. I still have the bear that was bought for me on my 1st birthday. His name is nostich.

Thal

I like the name Nostich .  I actually still have my two teddy bears from long, long ago, but they live in a box.  I actually had both of them on my bed, even in University days  , but decided to pack them up finally.  My main squeeze Teddybear's name is Ted ... hee hee.  I know, I know.  Okay, well, I also used to carry in my pocket the silken lining from a blanket, I called it my "corner" because it would start tearing at the very corner of the blanket and then I would pull off an entire edge  .  I would cast it out so it would stretch full length, and then reel it in with one hand into a ball inside of my hand, then cast it out again.  Or, while it was in my pocket during the day, I would reach in there and rub it between my thumb and my fingers ... hee hee.  Okay, I did this even into my twenties, but I finally quit one day !  I had a boyfriend who used to carry a smooth rock inside his pocket as some kind of similar thing, and since he could somehow empathize with my "corner" he fashioned me a corner out of different colored velvet pieces one Christmas.  I still have that.  I have to admit, it was somehow a very thoughtful gift and one of the most favorite gifts I have ever been given, even though I never carried that one around in my pocket !

[m19834]

Lately I have been absolutely *jonesing* to play the violin and have secretly been thinking about trying to somehow buy one and start playing .  


*musters all the violinist and singer in herself and plays the most beautiful melody ever*

duuuuuuu .. diiiiiiiiiiiii ... daaaaaaa

[Bob]

I'm just not cool enough for a hat like this. 

[littletune]

MY PIANOOOOO theyre bringing my piano up the stairs right NOW!!!!!!!!!

I wish i could play now but i have to go because i have music theory! But i was playing before for an hour already and i will play when i come back again! I love my piano!!      

[Bob]

I was thinking about increasing my piano repertoire through a direct cranial surgical implant.  (Bob wonders what the best edition is for that.)

The Powell edition should set you on Pace.

(I myself use the Richter scale.)

Good one, Dave

If you publish observations like that, I'm not surprised that you do!

I've lost 1.26 millionths of a second each day now.  Thanks Chile! 

That's going to be difficult to put back how it was.

[m19834]

I'm thinking that, perhaps, what makes some music from some composers "stick around" more or less eternally is related to those pieces' (and the composer's) relationship with some fundamental value or principle involved in music.  For example, Bach's Well Tempered Clavier will be as eternal as the tuning system it represents/is built upon, and our interest within THAT.  I think that these compositions give us some glimpse into a fundamental principle of life even, that without those pieces our view of the world and of ourselves would not be the same, and it's somehow so pervasive a view that it simply can't be erased.  Something like how a rainbow represents light and color in a particular way and somehow fundamentally affects our view of not only light and color, but of life itself and who we are as a species.  A life and world without rainbows and the knowledge of their existence would be a very different place, imo.  And, some musical compositions are something like rainbows (and some are not).

hmmm ...

[Bob]

Thinking about the future. 

And sameness.

[Bob]

The 1970s....



The Cold War...




Think, James Bond.  The West vs. The Russians....




It's only now that we realize what terrible weapons could have been unleashed on us.

This is the weapon designed to encourage people to shoot themselves.    At the very least, he would create extreme confusion on the battlefield.

Tomorrow! My piano recital!  well i thought I woldn't be so afraid this time because this piece is easier than Rudolph (that I played in december). But... yesterday at my piano lesson I was making a lot of stupid mistakes. Because i was nervous. But i will be even more nervous tomorrow! Yesterday I had to play it like five times before it was ok. But tomorrow i can only play it once! And its really fast and it has a lot of staccatos and when i get nervous my fingers just don't want to work the way they should anymore  and I sometimes miss the keys  . Well ... I guess it won't be the end of the world...

[Bob]

I think I know of a Russian guy who's probably having a hard time finding an accompanist.

I feel sick.  And confused after browsing the forum today.

[m19834]

[thalbergmad]

Sounds like Pizza Express to me.

Thal

[Bob]

Or Vomit Express.

[Bob]

What?  What's everyone looking at?



It's either an afro or the sunglasses smiley has ripped a hole into the forum.

[Bob]

It's actually possible to poke someone with a stick.






Nils will love this.

1) Bob's blurb is epic.

2) I'm starting to REALLY love bluegrass.

[Bob]

Well!  I know what I'm NOT wearing to my next concert.  I hope I can return mine.

[Bob]

   It's not as creepy toward the end.


Ever wonder what happened to Bond villains who didn't make it into a movie?

I made the mistake of checking out more videos by that guy.  Scary.





This one just stays creepy the whole time.

[point of grace]

my boyfriend (not the piano!!!!!)

[db05]

Coming back here and thinking,
WHERE IS EVERYONE???

[Bob]

I'm still here.  I think there was a huff on here about a week ago.  Some kind of argument going on.
