    It used to be in my bedroom when I was a teenager in the 80s. It had frightened quite a few of my younger nephews and nieces at the time, or so I've been told lately! :-) Must be somewhere in a box, now (the poster, I mean).

    I wished I had the posters I had back in the 80's but they got all torn & tattered! Why did I throw them away? If I still had them, I wouldn't sell them, I would actually frame them and put them up in my computer room! Oh well I've got a few new ones to take their place!

    It's official.

    TMU won that auction and plans to put the posters up to finally support the new album: one in NYC, one in Los Angeles and one in London, UK!

    Wow! At long last! They're doing something! The band should definitely stay the course and sign with them for a couple more albums.

    I have an account at work on Google to make reservations for school stuff and when I forget to log off, it makes me sign comments as "Canon" lmao

    Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted anything on here! I hope everyone's doing great! Happy Thanksgiving to any and all for whom it means something :o)

    Ralph came home severely drunk one night, somehow managed to slip into bed beside his sleeping wife, and fell into a deep slumber. He awoke before the Pearly Gates, where St Peter said to him, "You died in your sleep Ralph.." Ralph was stunned. "I'm dead? No, I can't be! I've got too much to live for. Send me back!" St Peter said, "Sorry, but there's only one way you can go back, and that's as a chicken"
    Ralph was devastated but begged St Peter to send him to a farm near his home... The next thing he knew, he was covered with feathers, clucking, and pecking the ground. A rooster strolled past. "So, you're the new hen, huh? How's your first day here?" "Not bad", replied Ralph the hen, "but I have this strange feeling inside...like I'm gonna explode!"
    "You're ovulating", explained the rooster. "Don't tell me you've never laid an egg before?" "Never", said Ralph. "Well just relax and let it happen. It's no big deal", said the rooster.
    Ralph did and a few uncomfortable seconds later, out popped an egg! Ralph was overcome with emotion as he experienced motherhood. He soon laid another egg - His joy was overwhelming....As he was about to lay his third egg, he felt a smack on the back of his head, and heard his wife scream....Ralph!!Wake Up. You fuckin shit the bed!!
