Don't start. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

When my daughter was five, we played a game we invented called "Air Tic-Tac-Toe." It required no pencil or paper. We just assigned each of the nine boxes a number, 1-9 from top left to bottom right, and then called out in turn the box we were claiming. We thought we were just so damn smart!

We still play every once in a while, just for old time's sake.

Best Zappa for my money is the original Mothers band, especially the first 3 albums. There's something to be said for the combination of avant-garde 20th classical and greasy doo-wop.

Zappa is an outstanding jazz fusion guitarist and arranger. If only he would keep his piehole shut. He thinks he's Spike Jones sometimes, albeit without the humor.

Check out the aptly titled release, "Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar".

Spare a thought for those poor Turkish miners.

Man @Carm, I totally disagree. He was funny as hell--it's the fusion crap that I can't take. Oh well. moving on.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Hahaha! You said statute, Carmichael. I thought you said "statue."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:30am Guido from Cologne:

I own a very very beautiful single by Alpay,
kinda turkish surf-beat backed by a beat ballad.

Unfortunately noone could tell me something about this guy. except he's not seen so much in turk-rock context.

Avatar 11:31am dc pat:

man. That statute wins hand down as the weirdest statute ever. What did somebody in an airplane check a rifle at that guy and it hit him square in the back??
