Apparently my avatar destroys my street cred

[skygazer]

Which makes perfect sense - after all, everyone knows that people who listen to Pink Floyd have never dabbled in anything beyond some gentle lawn tennis and a cocktail. :rofl:

This place kills me sometimes. :P

[Gormy Cuss]

1. If your avatar destroys your street cred, I'm screwn. n/t

[skygazer]

3. I had no idea how deeply it tapped into who I am

I should have studied symbology more deeply. :cry:

[davsand]

2. I knew a lot of Programmers that liked Floyd

Come to think of it, those guys all were not exactly gentle lawn tennis types either. I'm not sure I know of anybody that was a regular listener of Floyd that was into gentle lawn tennis.

"Several Species of Small Furry Animals Grooving In a Cave with a Pict" is NOT exactly normal fare for anyone without some type of chemical alteration or attitudinal aberration, I'm sorry to say.

You scare me, and I am married to a Floyd fan/programmer type who liked Syd Barrett.

4. I'm just always amazed at the leaps of logic that are made

Though come to think of it, lawn tennis while on acid with some Ummagumma playing might be kind of a fun way to spend a day. :smoke:

[SPKrazy]

5. yeah, would be good!

:smoke:

[skygazer]

9. I'll meet you in Albuquerque in 3 days

Reserve a court, will you? :hi:

[SPKrazy]

10. sounds like a lot more fun than anything i got planned

playing lawn tennis on acid would be a trip

literally in a couple of ways

:hi:

[Oddball]

22. The Partridge Family

You had to look at that one, right.

Anyway. The Partridge Family had a song called "Point Me in the Direction of Albuquerque."

Now THAT'S how to destroy street cred.

amateurs.

[davsand]

6. I would strongly suggest the mushroom salsa prior to lawn tennis.

MDA would also be an option if you have to go write code later.

NOT that I am promoting any activity that would compromise your "upstanding" reputation, mind you...

[SPKrazy]

11. The mushroom salsa

:9

oh wow, look at the lawn, cool d00d

:rofl:

:smoke:

:hippie:

[Oddball]

14. mushroom CHUTNEY

mushroom 'salsa' is soooo 70's.

Sorry. I'm 70's sensitive. I survived Disco, and I'm old enough to remember the big Folk Music Scare the previous decade.

[davsand]

21. MDA isn't 70's centric?

Wow. I haven't seen MDA in years. Well--not since X became "the thang," any way. They used to cook up MDA in the chem labs and then sell it to the computer dudes, who loved it because it was not as big of a crash as acid was. They could still write code the next day.

X became the big deal because the chem wonks said it would be even LESS of a crash than MDA. (Amazing what an extra "Methyl" will do isn't it???)

We really ARE blowing your street creds all to hell, aren't we...



Laura

[skygazer]

15. That might be better

Slo-mo lawn tennis. It could take days. Depending on how much salsa we have. :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

43. i love the way the ball looks

just love to look at the ball, and wow, the racket is soooo awesome, all those strings, woven together and criss crossing each other

:wow:

[Joe Fields]

16. shoot some heroin and try reading finnigan's wake out loud.

[skygazer]

18. I tend to drool on the pages

But that might be an improvement. :shrug:

[Oddball]

20. Demerol's better

You're more aware of the drool.

On Demerol you can actually walk into the public library and say, "I'd like to read Moby Dick. Can you direct me to the whale section."

[skygazer]

23. That sounds like the voice of experience

Are you anywhere near Albuquerque? We've got some killer lawn tennis planned. :hi:

[Oddball]

26. I'll be there on the next moonbeam.

I'll be the one in the flannel pajamas. And a derby hat. You do dress for lawn tennis?

[skygazer]

28. Indubitably

I'll be wearing an evening gown. And a sombrero. Southpawkicker will no doubt don his bunny slippers.

Don't forget the Grey Poupon. :hi:

[conscious evolution]

45. I'll bring the croquets!

[conscious evolution]

24. croquet is way more fun

Nothing more enjoyable then getting your balls bashed around.

Editted because I cant tell the differance between food and ball-bashing.

[Oddball]

27. I had salmon croquets once...

....they were better before I hit them with the mallet.

[skygazer]

29. Mmmmm...... croquettes

:9 You're welcome to join us if you bring the croquettes.

[conscious evolution]

32. LOL!

Like I use either word on a regular basis!:P

[Oddball]

36. ain't no Rasta's in the CIA--FUNNY

And evidently there ain't much 'I' in the CIA either.

[conscious evolution]

38. That line comes from this song

http://www.jimroe.com/Current_Theme.wmv

The video part isn't too good.

[Oddball]

41. Great Song!

I missed the name of the band but I think they were playing at the Orange Peel in Asheville. Do they have a CD or EP? website?

[conscious evolution]

And my "Kiss the Cook" apron.

25. Pict Anti-Defamation League

Hey, stop picking on the Picts. There are still Picts around, and I've got the pics to prove it.

I saw one the other day picking a peck of pickled peppers.

Being small, they're seldom picked for basketball.

They resent being thought of as picayune and if you continue this practice, they will have a bone to pick with you.

[skygazer]

30. Humph. Rather picky, aren't we?

:rofl:

[Oddball]

34. well, they have much to feel small about

And a little sympathy wouldn't hurt.

And I kept trying to tell Beethoven, a little symphony wouldn't hurt but nooooooo, bigger and louder and longer. It's why he went deaf.

[Oddball]

7. Floyd Landis

if Floyd Landis is cleared of doping charges and then goes on to ride for T-Mobile, he'll be Pink Floyd Landis. hahahahahahahaha

Does anyone get that joke?

Shit. There goes my street cred

Hey Macarena!!!!

um....

[skygazer]

8. See how easy it is?

One false move and out the window it goes. :banghead:

[Oddball]

12. yes, and so hard to regain it

especially when I have Dain Bramage.

[immoderate]

13. Shit, any friend of Isaac Newton's is a friend of mine!

:)

17. What a great collection of siglines in this thread

If that doesn't give us all some street cred, I don't know what does. :rofl:

[Oddball]

31. I just saw 'conscious evolution'

Maybe this group, with our collective siglines, are the Breakout Point of a new and higher level of consciousness. The next level of evolution. The cosmic equivalent of Starbucks, Silly Putty, Volvo's and New Age Music! We are "Newstar Vulva Buck Putty something".

Okay, we'll have to work on the name.

I'm just sayin'

um....

[skygazer]

35. "Newstar Vulva Buck Putty Croquettes"

You watch - within a week, someone's going to put an album out under that name.

[Oddball]

37. GAME, SET and MATCH .....Skygazer!!!!!

"Newstar Vulva Buck Putty Croquettes" it is.

And they say lawn tennis is dull. It's all in who's in the game.

The Pictish ball boys and girls were a nice touch. Is that an Albuquerque thing?

[skygazer]

40. I believe it is

It's a Pict-friendly town. And picturesque.

I have to go shop for a new racket now - mine is covered with croquette crumbs. :grr:

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. Or in Albuquerque. :hi:

[Oddball]

42. Vay con Deo, Me say de me se de me se de

daylight come and I wan' go home.

it was fun.

Later.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. Nothing wrong with Pink Floyd.

:D

[conscious evolution]

39. How can you tell?

By the way,which ones Pink?
