Hey,

Too each his own I guess, mine just happens to be kinda goofy [img]images/smiles/converted/cwm12.gif[/img]

I like the old monster movie pez…frankenstein etc, kinda pricey though but hey I have pretty poor impulse control so???

I dare you to outbid me on cool Pez nick….. [img]images/smiles/converted/aliensmile.gif[/img]

Hey,

In a Cramps/Stooges way…yikes that does sound just about perfect. [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img]

Cool story…. [img]images/smiles/converted/cwm12.gif[/img]

Allison [img]images/smiles/converted/stitch.gif[/img]

[AGAP]

Hey,

That sounds like it hurt, if my theory is correct you will be happy with the outcome…hopefully [img]images/smiles/converted/newangel.gif[/img]

I just have to say, that time of year in Canada is always a spooky/scary time. Gets dark early but in a foggy surreal old horror movie kind of way…always increase security measures at that time of year. [img]images/smiles/converted/eek.gif[/img]

I have lost some time similar to your case, had a number of usual suspects….zombies, genius guys etc etc. Also found a mark on my wrist…although it looked more like a cat bite in the shape of a triangle…it was a mark/tattoo of sorts. I now believe…or at least the current theory is….that all of us here have been taken, our brains rewired so we can appreciate the amazing music of our fearless leader…J [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img]

I still am unclear as to who is in charge…again the usual suspects come to mind but your talk of tabloids got me thinking [img]images/smiles/converted/rolleyes.gif[/img] I remember seeing a cover to a very trashy tabloid years ago, it had the image of Pee Wee Herman’s face on Mars…lite bulb moment!!! It may be that Pee Wee is a fan and is rewiring the world to appreciate the amazing sounds we all crave/would die for… [img]images/smiles/converted/wink.gif[/img]

So hopefully that helps with all the feeling the pain you had to do [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hey,

Like Spapceboy said, but with an additional couple of WOW’s. Great songs, be prepared though very different…but in such a cool way!!!

Allison [img]images/smiles/converted/newangel.gif[/img]

[AGAP]

Hey John,

Psychocandy by JAMC is quite the disc…loud..disruptive and oh so cool. Listen to it frequently [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img] Actually have tried using it as a behavioral management plan for a neighbor…person under the stairs kinda deal. Swear at me thru the floor and you will get a blast of Psychocandy…so far pretty effective.

Allison [img]images/smiles/converted/tongue.gif[/img]

[AGAP]

Hey,

Love More Light as well…really really loud. If you want to recreate the hearing damage experienced after a Fog gig…use headphones full blast…too cool!!??

I love those bonus tracks as well Spaceboy…Riptide….WOW!!!

[AGAP]

Hey,

ELJ sounds like I need to remind you of the last game of last season again…BEARS knocked The Cryons out of the play offs. They even had that tradecade.com mcclown in..and still won….in Detroit at that [img]images/smiles/converted/eek.gif[/img]

When I do finally get my BEAR Pez….we may have to have a cage match…only I get foreign objects though… [img]images/smiles/converted/wink.gif[/img]

Allison…happy pez collector [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img]

[AGAP]

Hey Salamiguy,

Chucked the stuff in the garbage…that has gotta hurt. You will never know the value of what was lost [img]images/smiles/converted/cwm12.gif[/img] Hope she didn’t get your baseball cards or comics as well….when we were in school those paid our rent many times..gotta love that [img]images/smiles/converted/eek.gif[/img]

Lost out on the 1st Kiss Pez deal, still trying though. Meant to be a present for a pal out in Vancouver…probably would have ended up keeping it anyway [img]images/smiles/converted/eek.gif[/img] Yikes 46 bucks US though, quite the mark up for Kiss coolness [img]images/smiles/converted/tongue.gif[/img]

Allison….who still doesn’t care that collecting Pez many seem silly…. [img]images/smiles/converted/dizzy.gif[/img]
