The only original idea ever was the first one, something about eating an apple. Everything from then on is a "rip-off". Thus you have my permission, though you don't need it.

And I can't wait to hear SOMETHING SPECTACULAR

I agree that it should NOT be a research monkey's greasy teeth.

Also, I'm ripping off your roadtrip theme for SOMETHING SPECTACULAR.

Here is the mix if you'd like to listen to it.

Well I think it should be the mirrored waters of a clear spring.

I also think it should not be a research monkey.

The narcissist badge should be a mirror, I think.

Thanks for the support.

The badge is ugly. Narcissus was the most beautiful ever. Why that baboon? It should be a Greek vase or marble statue or something.

The yay! was because I was just happy to see your mix doing so well.

I haven't used the narcissist badge because
1. My plan was foiled out of forgetfulness. My goal was to get up to 60 page views per day just as a joke, but then I forgot that I was doing it.
2. That thing is ugly!

Why aren't you using the Narcissist badge?

Yay! ? I have yet to fully grasp the meaning of the word Yay!

The "Back to School mix" 1st place badge even calls me a nerd.

I had a second copy of TGM, but I gave it to my dad. You could have had it.

I have to see Borat.

1. Borat! Did you see it?

2. I haven't ordered the book yet, I started reading Haunted again just for kicks until I can go and buy it. You read it?

Nice recollection there, could you imagine a book written about that ackley kid and his acne? And could you imagine being required to read a book about a kid picking his acne? Your mom is awesome, lookin' out for you.

Being a "nerd" in high school doesn't hold any weight now, 'cause you won the back to school mix contest.

I just figured out the reason I never read CITR:
My mom told me about the book when I was young and she had a few of the characters mixed up. She told me it was about this teenager who was a slob and was always picking his acne. I think she confused Holden with his neighbor in the dorm. Anyway, I was (still am?) a nerd and had a hard enough time in high school and didn't need to read about some goddamn other kid's problems. Especially a disgusting kid. I'm glad that's all cleared up now.

Any luck finding Sebastian Dangerfield?

I love Borat

Some of what Dog Whisperer does is right on. For instance that little finger bite he does, and saying "shh!" when the dog is doing something bad. In the dog class I had Pipa in they told us to make up a "bad dog name". I could never yell it in public without embarrassment. Other people had stupid bad names like "Macaroni." Can you imagine me running agound the park yelling something like macaroni every time my dog lunged at a squirrel or duck? "Shh" is 100x better.

The Dog Whisperer was/is my favorite show on tv, but I don't have tv anymore, but when I go home to parents you better believe the tivo is at work. I'm not around the dogs enough to teach them anything anyways, because I'm kind of a fill in mother when my friend is out of town (which is often).
Does it help with yours? That show is amazing sometimes.

We'll lobby for the badge.

Have you ever watched "The Dog Whisperer" might give you some tips on how to socialize the 2 dogs.

FINALLY.
And uh, that 500th mixtape thing seems to be a farce.

And in regards to dogs and quark, they're both pretty annoying. I took one for a walk, because the other two are challenged in the outside etiquette. And InDesign is so much better, but no one seems to dig InDesign in my department, plus the company is 30 years old. It's like beating a dead horse, talking to a brick wall, you know.

Although there may be a special badge for the 500th mixtape. The count is 498 just now.

I spent a few hours this afternoon with my 2 dogs. I say forget the robots, hang with the dogs.

I use InDesign, which I guess is kind of like Quark.
