    Hi
In summary, Red Rum is a funny microbiologist who is the best friend of Evo and the second best friend of Evo's imaginary friend, Evo. He is from the Netherlands, and is the most famous horse in the country.

I have lots of crude rhythm instruments, like an old metal screw-top 35mm film can (I have been shooting film for a while...) full of lead shot, and another plastic film can full of BBs for a more mellow sound. When I was hosting open-mike jams at local taverns, such cheap home-made instruments often came in handy.

I studied the Kazoo in Austria, but I only know Beethoven tunes.

I studied the triangle at Berklee, but I only play klezmer music on that.

Hehe, this is getting really interesting. I can bring some old pots. A pair of branches, and ta-da, the rhythm section is almost complete! :-p

On Bonnie Raitt's first album (recorded in a garage at a camp at a lake, IIR) the rhythm instruments included a shuttlecock in a plastic cup and a stick on a plastic pitcher.

[Scatman Crothers impersonation]Still no-show. I think we've got a "Jack Torrance" moment going here..."All work and no play", etc, etc. It's time for the sisterhood to intervene and save Evo. You might need to apply the Portuguese Man-o-War. Hopefully it will not be necessary to employ the dreaded shrieking eels.[/Scatman Crothers impersonation]

I hope it's not Evo. Her sock puppet may have been running this thread all this time.

Smells like skunk-cabbage quiche.

Yes, with a "Stinking Benjamin" garnish. Not good.

I guess Red Rum got too busy. :frown:

He'd better say hi tomorrow.

Maragarita, por favor!

I missed seeing Phil Spector by minutes today. He was on our floor and some of the other jurors saw him. I got back from lunch too late and missed him.

Well its very late now, the only thing left is to scarf chocolates, drink rum and talk of things that might of been.

Dear God! what is that stench? Please don't tell me Phil Spector cut the cheese.

Ugh, jury duty! Are you stuck on any trials, or just sitting around bored out of your mind all day for the jury selection process to just keep rejecting you?

*Pours MIH another margarita*

Thanks for the margarita!

Nope - it's all over. I was on a panel today, but then they sent us to lunch, and when I came back they said it had been "resolved" and we wouldn't be needed. It was a really interesting experience because they asked us all for our occupations, and one of the guys on the panel said he was a professional psychic. :smile:

:smile: Did he already know how the day would turn out? :biggrin: It probably does keep him off juries...I'm pretty sure that thinking you already know the outcome wouldn't be very good for a fair trial. :rolleyes:
 
  • #88
<sniff> No Red Rum yet.
 
  • #89
Unless he comes in a truck filled with fish and with a shirt which says "Punish me", this won't be a fair trial. :-p

We were all wondering if he was telling the truth or just had come up with a good strategy for dodging jury duty. The judge had some fun with him during the interview, asking him at one point, "Didn't you see that coming?" about some event the guy mentioned. :biggrin: But then he really grilled him on whether he could be fair and impartial, given his "gift", and while he agreed to try his best, he seemed to really struggle with that.

Is this a real friend, Evo? Not a "pretend friend", right?:rolleyes:

That reminds me ... I had a neighbor who used to get TV and reality mixed up. Everytime she saw me she would call me Rachel. I never could figure out why she did that until one day she asked me how Ross was doing.

He might be hiding some cheese in that hair-do.

Who? Phil Spector? Now that would be interesting.

Can you believe I have never seen The Shining?
I live a sheltered life. I have never seen any of The Godfather movies either.

Hahaha... :smile::smile: I didn't know such things actually happen..

After seeing a picture of him, I definitely agree. Maybe he and Red Rum should come together. :-p

Wow. :bugeye:

If it's any consolation, I had to google who Phil Spector is.

I haven't really been very enamored of Stephen King's movies, but have never read any of his books to know if I'd like that version better (usually books are way better than movie versions of them). The Godfather is definitely worth watching, especially the original one. The third one was pretty crappy; you could live just fine without ever seeing that one.

You people should be strapped into a cinema and forced to look at all the good movies out there. And yes, I'd pour a truck load of pop-corn on you, too. :devil: :-p

Yay! Free popcorn! Of course, I would be drowning in it.
What year was The Shining anyway?

I'll take the popcorn, but it wouldn't take long to watch all the good movies out since there are so few of them anymore. :-p

Probably before you were born. :rolleyes: 1980. (I don't know how old you are, but based on you having never heard of the movie, I'm assuming that was before you were born.)

Hi everyone

Hi everyone. Sorry I missed the party, cause I could have used a few of those margaritas. Thanks for all the fish. When Evo thought me up she gave me some excellent , fascinating and slightly quirky personality traits. If anyone ever wants to know anything about anything fermented, including stinky cheeses, but excluding cadavers, I'm your man.
 
  • #103
I've known who Phil Spector was since the Beattles era, and I have a VHS movie staring Lana Clarkson (or, more accurately, parts of her :redface:). I never realized, until the above-posted photo appeared, how much he resembles a dandilion gone to seed.
I will readily admit that I've never seen any of the movies in question, and have no desire to. 'The Godfather' parts I-III came on TV last weekend, in a marathon. I switched to Discovery Channel. Sorry, just not my sort of entertainment. (On the other hand, I absolutely loved the new FF movie.)

Wow, I didn't realize Evo had such an active imagination that she could even make it post! :biggrin:

Welcome to PF, at long last! :smile:

As for fermentation, I prefer sticking with those of the beer and wine variety. :wink:

Me too. Evo made me a brewer. It probably fulfills some fundamental need.
