While your scheme presents more volume, my scheme has a more youthful perky
bestowal.  :)  As far as symetry goes, on my terminal, it appears that you're
depiction has one bigger than the other.  :)

Yah... we should chute you.

I have a couple of old Gerry Rafferty albums (at least I may have -- they
might have gone down in the Flood of 91) but I've since forgotten the titles...
I'll have to dig through my surviving LP's and see...  Did any of you other old
farts listen to Mr. Rafferty?

He's got rather large balls and I like that in a man... What's the matter with
brutal honesty?  Obviously they both provided him with sufficient
inspiration... I could only hope to be his muse.  :)

What are you telling us Marco, baby?  Are you some kinda wimp or what?  I think
Peter Hammill would do it!

Oh cummon now, be nice...  she's like me -- big boned.  ;*)  What's more
important here?  A MMW quotient, or talent?  Or are you just being incorrigable
today...  :)

>2.  Since when did all the country stars get to be *younger* than me?

Since you grew and they didn't...  ;)

Ah yes... but I ask you this?  Where was Trischa's other hand?  ;)

Lyle's cool... but I hear he doesn't have his big hair anymore...  *pout*

I didn't get to see any of it... I saw something better, namely, 2 teams of
heavily equipped men beating the crap out of each other on ice (ie. the hockey
player dragged me to a game).  blah...

I did see a couple of interesting musical performances on TV in the last week
or so.  I watched The Tonight Show and witnessed a cool musical performance by
a bunch of guys I think were called Blue Man Group.  Anyways they looked like
they had been dipped in teal blue paint and as they played they had this wierd
flourescent tongue like thing that swung out of their mouths.  They played
these way cool percussive marimba looking things that were constructed of
pastel painted ABS piping.  And there were these large multi-colored tubes that
hung from the ceiling and twirled around during certain portions of the song.
It was a wonderful combination of wierd sound and visual -- very artsy and
incredibly innovative.  Did anyone else see this??

I also managed to tune into Much Music for a bit on Monday night and they were
featuring Mike Oldfield's _Tubular Bells II_.  This was a very cool live
performance as well.  I particularily enjoyed the part when they brought in a
massive celtic pipe and drum band to play along.  Whew... great stuff.
