lelia: As your post count goes up, you get different names.

Hmmm... is this poetry corner now?

never heard of them. Looking them up, are they something like Jethro Tull?

Not really my style. Still in love with Linda Ronstadt (whether country/stone ponies, blues, spanish ... anything she does).

Also not a big fan of "The Wall", thought it lost something, but "dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You were Here" are fantastic.

Welcome Lelia! To get an avatar, go to My Account, Edit Profile and scroll down to the bottom. You'll see the avatar settings there.

Wish You Were Here was great!

This is the whatever twisted, demented lyrics you can identify with corner now. That is until we all get off on another tangent!

Welcome lelia,

It sounds like you'll enjoy yourself here. This thread seems to have developed into quite an epic.

Where you now have "Emu egg" will change as you amass posts. I didn't figure it out until about 100.

When you get to 1,000 (not long to go now, for me), you get to be able to choose what you want there. Is that exciting, or what?

The avatar... you'll get there via "My Account".

=============

I've just been off watching "House", for the first time ever (bar for the two minutes I tried once before, when I couldn't stand the American accent). The autistic boy episode. Quite good. I'll watch more.

I've also been trying to remember what my Sun Ra album sounded like... it's been a long while. Pink Floyd I saw many times. Hapshash etc was possibly my favourite album. I have all the early Zappa M&I - saw him a few times. Moved on to Devo. Did punk. Music's gone downhill since those days. I like techno, etc. I guess that completes the circle.

I was trying to find the techno version of the Brunnen-G anthem, but luckily(!) I failed. (Anyone else like Lexx?) Instead, I found the Brunnen-G Sex mix. Various other tracks there that I hadn't come across before. I've just started downloading the "Megamix".

Wow. I've read about it before, but to see all these benefits lined up like this... I'm seriously tempted to get some, even though I already take Wellbutrin to keep the darkest blues away...

But let me start over - male 52, self-diagnosed then confirmed AS, (ADD too) & I'm so happy to have found your thread. I've been working my way through these (80!?) pages, wanting to know the ground rules & important discussions, and I got through 24 pages or so but couldn't wait. Thanks for sharing so much of yourselves, and (I hope) letting me join in, a little. Wow, a group of wise, experienced, accepting, er, curmudgeons (like me?) who quote Zappa, the Doors, Pink Floyd, use verbs like "to iridesce," wax so eloquent (that long poem back in the early pages, very impressive!) and offer such nice welcomes.

I just read Mozart and the Whale, and realized I need help to salvage what's left of my life; either find jobs I can handle, or get disability, or, ... anyway, thanks for letting me post.

"megamix" is probably going on "repeat" for the next few days. I'm typing in time to it now.

OOooooouuuuuccccchhhhhhh!! !! !! !!

We should have an anthym.....and a flag!

Musicians, Artists, get to work.

I'm serious, does anyone agree?

EEEEeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrroooooooooooarrrrrrrrr.......

Clunk.

Hi, y'all! Every time I find a rare moment to check in, I find pages to read, and I think, Oh Joy!


So happy! And Pink Floyd! I think that band spoke especially to us, for the obvious reason. And back when "The Wall" came out, album covers were so awesome, and the vinyl was colorful...

Merle! You call it "deeno," I call it "dino," duh doo doo doo doo....

And turntables are coming back! There's a really nice stereo place a few blocks from me who have turntables, and, of course, the needles to go with them. I wonder if they have the record cleaners?

I got rid of my record collection in the early nineties, and I had some nice collectables. I used to get stuff like Small Faces ("Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" anyone?) and oddball new wave stuff, and old Who (I did keep an extremely rare Who bootleg). I had Beatles, early Rod Stewart, Floyd, of course, and a bunch of other stuff that I can't dig up out of the back of my mind.

I was into Warren Zevon, too.

Currently, I'm listening the The Holmes Brothers, Joan Osborne, and when I'm feeling "haute cultur," I listen to this oddball radio station that plays classical and jazz nonstop. And the new Tom Waits is in the truck.

Hokku-for Calandale

sitting still, breathe,
fragrant, the ham is baking,
outside, a bird trills.

For Flagg

sunshine, hot and sharp
cinnamon tongue sweetly curls
the sword is a song.



Cosmiccat, Yowler came up with a couple of great graphics, and one would be a wonderful one for a sweatshirt-it's the "Aspie Stem Team" one. I think it would be great to come up with a couple of tee, sweat, and polo graphics. Since WrongPlanet has some stuff on Cafe Press, maybe that's a possibility. I don't know how it works. I like the idea, but I don't know how others feel about it.

Where's Inventor? He must be busy on the 'cycle of his. Friends tell me they are "organ donor" creators, but I still think they are cool. I have this romantic idea of the wind in my hair, and the bugs in my teeth.

Kurt Vonnegut--and so it goes.

Metta, y'all--I'm heading back into my maelstrom of hackneyed activity!

I H ave to look at the CD cover to read what I am listening to


"Tempus porco nihil est," it's Pigorian Chant from Snouto Domoinko de Silo. I love Gregorian chant and listen to it a lot. I have this cd in my authentic collection and got it when I was in SCA ( Society for Creative Anachronisms, Medival re-inactment groups) it was given to me as a joke, because I used to sing in a 13th Century choral group.
It sound like the real thing but if you know latin, or sing chant, it is a real hoot. I just put in on when it's rotation comes up in the CD changer when I listen to my chants. The polyphony of the chickens is my favorite.



Merle

PS for you that don't read latin, it's "Time to a pig means zilch,"

Li'l gal, li'l gal, where did you sleep last night?
yor hairs all stuck up and yor clothes don't fit you right
Inna pines, inna pines, where da sun never shines
and I shivvered the whole night through.......

Merle

Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this

(na na na nant na, na na na nant na, na na na nant na na
na na na nant na, na na na nant na, na na na nant na na! WHOOOOOO!

I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place
And I'm down on my luck

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The s**t has hit the fan

Send lawyers, guns and money...


oh, gawd, I was in the house when Jesse Ventura celebrated his Inaugural Ball at the Target Center with him and Warren Zevon singing "Werewolves of Minneapolis!" Talk about partying like it was 1999!

Merle

cosmiccat,

Anthym, Non je ne regrette rien ?

I think the kiddies for a flag, it will be their's longer.

Li'l gal, li'l gal, where did you sleep last night?
yor hairs all stuck up and yor clothes don't fit you right
Inna pines, inna pines, where da sun never shines
and I shivvered the whole night through.......



Thanks for bringing this to mind, Merle. Nirvana's version of this is incredible. Unplugged. Cobain pays homage to Lead Belly. I've never heard the LeadBelly version. I think Woody Guthrie did a version of this too. My 5 yr old grandson, Kurt, was born on Cobain's birthday. My daughter had planned to name her first child, if a boy, after Kurt Cobain, but never in her wildest imagination dreamed this child would be born on his birthday.


I like to say welcome to Tomart. Hope you find shelter here in this neck of the woods. Speaking of woods, I suppose you are familiar with the Pinies if your from Joisie.

I was definately thinking Yowler when I made that suggestion about the Flag.

Inventor - But a flag soley for the Aspie Dinos, would that fly?

I saved mine. All 600 of 'em. They're in storage, waiting for the time I can get a new turntable and amp....
