...and yes, there was a Mayfield, KY near our 'base of operations', but not quite as 'humble' as yours. To this day, if you drive through the place, you'll swear you're in Mayberry...

Unless one is retiring, I've never heard of anyone going back home until retirement if they've lived in large metropolitan areas. In rural areas they're so ignorant or behind the times that when they get in their trucks to go somewhere they never use "R" when putting it in gear - they think it means "Race". Or a good Saturday night for them is sitting on the front porch with a case of Bud and counting how many flies get zapped in the bug zapper. Or they get p!ssed off when they can't find the 8-track of Tom T. Hall's new album...

But hey, I keep forgetting to say that this is a great friggin' website and it's a good thing you're there to help keep it going...

If I'm not mistaken, one of our regular members that we all know and love requests that song about once a day. Am I correct in this?

I'd also like to see the FK situation rectified.

It's so wondeful to be loved!

I've seen The Flower Kings live probably more time than anyone here on the moon. I love TFK but it was getting to be like "Roundabout" on the commercial "classic rock" radio stations... and I do love YES too. They overplayed Roundabout to the point where I loathe the song. This TFK requests were beginning to fall into the same cyclic play pattern of the "classic rock" stations.

As for Ikea By Night, I wasn't alone but I'll admit to queueing the lion's share. The effort was well intended.

Not a personal attack, he knows that.

But I find the "Marbles" record t, but I'm not going to request a short Marillion tune.

Just seems to me there's an easier way. Isn't there?

None of Marbles has played to the extent of the latest TFK!

FWIW, is you want something somnambulent, queue up Philip Glass.

heh...uh, no thanks. I finally ended up removing that 12 part snoozer that PDJ had removed about a month ago...although I may have been premature. I could have swapped the binaries with some of the TFK songs or something.

Of course, then y'all would have probably come after me with assorted blunt, heavy objects, bent on, if not my destruction, at the very least the infliction of more pain than my current pain medication regime is capable of defeating.

Roger -Dot- Lee, taking his vocabulary out for a run, wondering how many wished he'd take it out back and have it shot.

Hrm.

GY!BE might actually be good for something other than getting me off of the computer afterall!

Roger -Dot- Lee, moving elsewhere. Quickly.

Likely not at this moment. The Alaskan contingent usually log in about midnight or so eastern time (that'd be about 6pm their time).

Don't know if they're in Barrows or where they are. They just have an Alaskan ISP. For all I know they could have a cable strung across the Bearing Straits and are listening in from the Kamchatcha Peninsula or something.

Roger -Dot- Lee, pollutin' the forums with more useless trivia.

ok....

It takes 16 lbs of pressure to break off a human ear.

There are 336 dimples in a golf ball.

And, my favorite -

If you drop a Ken doll from the top of a Barbie townhouse, he will land on his head every time (trust me it's true)!

Interesting quote. Would've fit perfectly well with Donald Rumsfeld's public example of political gibberish. Unless the reference to 'Can' was that great group of guys from Germany...

[perjensen01]

Dropping Ken on his head from that heigh is a subconscious reminder of what would like to be done with the TK freaks. Yes? No?

[perjensen01]

...would be to drop 2 of Sony-BMG's exec's on their heads since it's partly their doing that makes it so difficult to find such great Prog Rock. Their names alone are perhaps the best example of such a mindset - Andrew LACK and Michael SMELLIE...

er...no, actually the Bearing Straits, between the villages of North Dogsled and Dewlap, Alaska. Named after Willfred Ball, inventor of the Ball Bearing.

Yeah, that's it!

Oh boo.

Roger -Dot- Lee, Didja do 'er, Mike? Iditarod.

There is no doubt whatsoever that 'balls' give men their 'bearing'... (ahem, ahem)

You guys did the right thing, now if you could only fix the problem with the constant Drago Mlinarec requesting...

BTW some clever person has gotten around your ban by playing the Flower Kings song of the PD01 sampler.
