The Wall is fooking awesome. Do you own it? If so, may I borrow it and burn it? :-D
Of course I own it. I think, over the years between VHS and DVD I have owned 4 copies. That doesn't include the cassette tapes, CDs, and the Roger Waters The Wall live in Berlin albums that I have gone through.
I may need you to make a back up copy for me. ;)
Your obsession with Floyd and DMB is just as bad as my Patton obsession - I don't know why you give me so much crap.
Oh that flower Floyd section is very sensual :-p
Don't You just hate this questions? But, You answered with great integrity - RESPECT!!!!
<3
Steph, my obsession with Floyd and DMB does not even come close to matching your Patton lovefest. I don't own any side projects. The only videos I own-other than the feature film, The Wall-all came with the purchase of a CD. I don't know anything about the band members' families other than what they say during their live performances that I own on CD or have watched on YouTube. So you see, even though I believe both bands are musical geniuses and I love to listen to them, I do not stalk them electronically or track them to find out where they are and what they are doing at the present time. But, if it makes you feel better, you can believe what you like.
Anna, I couldn't find the exact picture I was looking for. It is a bit before they get to that point in their "dance", when they look a bit more floral and a bit less human. But, I'll make due. I like them because they went from beautiful and innocent, to horrible and violent, and were very sexual somewhere in the middle of it all. So much like so many things that I have witnessed.
Oh, and I love the questions. They give me a chance to not think about it when I am blogging. They were great for getting me started, when I entered the blogosphere. Just a bit of nostalgia.
Okay, here goes:
I own side projects of his because not only are they good, but also because he is an incredibly prolific artist and there are tons of works of his at my disposal. That's also how I know he's got new projects - he still makes music. All the time. He doesn't go ages and ages before putting something new out, regardless of what band he's with (or without) when he does it.
OMG, so reading a wiki page that says he has a brother and then doing a quick Google search to see if I could find a pic now makes me a stalker?? I think that's blowing it out of proportion just SLIGHTLY.
Oh, and you can say what you will, but who's a member of their favorite groups fan club?? Not me, brother...
I think that the only *real* difference between our obsessions is that while I would do unspeakable things to Patton given the chance, you would probably settle for cuddling with Dave.
I'm only a member of the fan club for the discounted merchandise and early ticket sales. Don't be jealous that my favorite bands actual visit St. Louis from time to time (or tour at all for that matter). And, I wouldn't cuddle with Dave. Maybe Carter, though. He looks like a big Teddy Bear.

#5- R.I.P. Mitch Hedberg. I never know when to stop on the nanana either.
#11- Seriously, if they are going to fall for that line...
#24- The coolest job I have ever had. And, you will be perfect for it, if you can get all the administrative stuff done when necessary. Al is a tough boss. But, also one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is honest, fair and he will always have your back or tell you where you went wrong. Plus, he is a great teacher.
#26- You're welcome.
#28- You're right.
#38- Anyone who reads this, this man doesn't lie. If you go to Estes Park, CO, do not visit the Estes Park Brewery. Horrible.
#46- Supports your answer to #28. Milo and Otis? Dude...
#55- I wouldn't call you a Douchenozzle. Maybe an Asshat, but not a Douchenozzle.
Is this what You meant? ;-)
My mom uses asshat. It's quite funny.
If I heard her use douchenozzle I might blow a gasket.
