Poll question: Should I run a post-whoring thread to get me past the next mile-stone?
As 5 figures is creeping up on me, I'm just wondering whether to potter over in a calm quiet way - or to waste, sorry spend, the entire afternoon in one big push.

:dilemma:

Threadjacking is more than welcome - especially if it gets more posts out of me ;)

10. Can I make a small amendment?
I was going to listen to Siegfried this afternoon anyway, and it would make sense to post the same thing as I'm playing - otherwise, a splendid idea. :bounce:

14. Guess who just got one of your poll options off to a start.
}( How are you today? Did you have fun last night? I may have to book you for unauthorized use of y'all. I know you say you were sober but it looked suspiciously like a case of drawling while under the influence.

Yesterday was good. I woke up with Clintmax and went to bed with billyskank! (Well, I managed to be the first to tuck him in.) Today will get crazier as it goes but now I'm listening to a men's a capella group singing compositions dedicated to Mary, Mother of God.

Good luck with your goal. I'm sure you will get there in a walk, perfect pocket square intact. All this is said without a hint of mockery and is simply due admiration.

:loveya:

17. Good morning mon cher ami.
All's very well here - and the use of y'all certainly doesn't indicate sobriety, I only ever use colloquialisms when sober and in an ironic sense. But a good southern drawl gets me very keen. :D

Glad to hear about the music - Our Lady rocks, and has inspired some of the very bestest music ever.

:loveya:

Perhaps I should undermine your efforts - but I suppose that would make me a republican wouldn't it.

How's your day been? :hi:

What sort of amateur do you take me for?

Even the most basic consideration of your beauty, charm, wit would take a good 100 posts.

36. I've been wondering about it for a while.
Who is the fellow in your avatar?

I think you should put your radiant countenance in there - but then it would cause D.U. to crash as thousands of millions of people tried to gaze at it in perfect simultaneity.

38. *spray*

:rofl:

Even for you, that was outrageous!! :D


The person in my avatar is the incredible Jimmy Smith. He was a jazz organist. He played the Hammond B3, and was so dominant on his instrument that he put other organists into a tailspin in rather the same way that Charlie Parker did to other saxophonists. :)

42. Sounds good to me.
I've got a big soft spot for the Hammond organ. Or rather I've got a great big soft spot for just about all forms of organ. I spend loads of my time listening to modern French (classical) organ works - and nobody could claim to be a fan of Olivier Messiaen without loving the onde martinot which as an early form of synthesiser has a somewhat similar sound. It has been said that the role of classical organist is a close to jazz-music as is reached within the classical world, it's the only instrument where improvisation is considered an essential part of the core "repertoire".

I do my best to be outrageous - and when given such very excellent material upon which to work (such as your beauty) I cannot help but succeed. :D
