perhaps "he" kiwi ran into "she" kiwi and they have run off together.... :eek:
Maybe she sat on him and he got buried in the "great divide".
hahahaha, now is that nice????!!!! you watch!!! it's going to turn out that he is really the she and then you're going to get it
Oh, I am so scared.
What is the 'great divide' please?
I think it is that part your were haply showing in your animation of Drifter's version of Grafixman in the comode, when you couldn't help yourself.
Note the convuluted wordins so as to keep all readers happy.
It is the life of a middel-aged woman. If she wore a shirt with "Appearances" as an iron on, they you see her task would be "keeping up"....
Well, I have to show more propriety.
It is not what you say, it's what you don't say.
???? Got too many letters to be swearing, hmmm, might be one of thoses rich personnes words maybe????.....comode you sayQuote:
comode
see, now isn't this a nice conversational thread about nothing
I LOVE IT!!!!!!
thanks sally
and you'd better be scared if he is a she and that great divide lands on your conehead!!!!!!!
(hahahahahahahaha)
Well then, I guess I'll wear a really odd looking hat and everyone will have great fun, then I'll add a price tag so I can look like Minnie Pearl!
Oh, well, shucks, folks, it's almost as good as having Ol' Kiwi right here in our midst. (We could have a Memorial Service ---- now that'd get his/her goat!)
i used to love minni pearl - and ma and pa kettle
I think Kiwi went to the planet Krypton.
That's an imposter!
This is the real superman:
How do you find time in between playing the mandolin? Kiwi drew a British telephone booth, are you using it to change?
No Inty, stay the way you are, don't ever change.
Talking of mando - click here
Yoh Gorgeous.......just went and listented to your music and I think I even recognized the song......"Turkey in the straw" wasn't it? Boy, do I envy you artisique type with your hugh massive left side brain . In my case I'm afraid the only part of my artisique brain that survived early childhood tramatic events was the babbling part and I do believe it is getting over developed to compensate. Oh dear, see.....babbling again apparently:D..........frank
Oh yeah.......loose the spandex.....only works on the young;) I doubt if I will ever want to watch superman again, thank you very much
my oh my oh my
what did i tell you children!?
when will you learn to behave?!
and stop drawing my body with other faces!!!!!
(intbel - was that you playing? that was beautiful!!!!!)
I believe the tune was Brighteyes at least that's what it said at the foot of the screen.
I had hoped Kiwi would post yesterday. On the home page down at the bottom it tells you who is logged on unless they want to be anonymous. Intbel is usually always monitoring though his loggin is filtered through "THE ANTI- PROPAGANDA MACHINE !"
Actually I saw Kiwi's name and he just didn't post.
I think he is mad at me.
Intbel, you are mutl-talented. What an artist you are on the mandolin. I told my son that it is a "mandolin" not a Ukelele.
No one really plays these that I know much and it is one instrument I have never played.
I was very lovely. Too bad you live an ocean away, we could have a great jam session.
I get maybe one jam session every two months - with a friend who plays an electric guitar with a neck which is (in comparison) six feet long.
He is only interested in blues riffs.
Amazingly we manage to achive some pleasing if unlikely sounds.
I'm not replying to Frank - he is a philistine. Turkey in the Straw indeed!
Here's my rendition of a piece by Scott Joplin. The animation was done in Xara Xtreme. Deserves to be pulled out of moth balls.
The MIDI file is me on my piano. (Should have used the saxophone voice--- but whatever.)
Drifter may remember this, but Inty, you haven't seen it before.
sally, both the anim and the piano playing were superb!!!! you are truly talented and blessed!
while listening to the song i was expecting to see buster keaton or charlie chaplin come walking onto the screen... but it never happened :(
Intbel, the name of the piece is "Solace" and is written by Scott Joplin who knew a lot of heart ache in his life. Incredibly talented, lived at the turn of the last century, he should have been widely celebrated, but because he was a black man, he was often ostracized.
He wrote some incredible stuff, I can reach an octave spread with my hands, pretty good for a woman, the man had octave and a half spread, I can only do that by rolling my hands. Amd then there are all these other 32nd notes coming close on their heels, no can do. He must have been tall, and at least had another inch longer on each finger to my hand.
I play happier stuff, it just is I like the tango beat of it. You have to dance it with a rose in your teeth.
He made the world more tolerable, at times he couldn't entirely blot out the way it really was. Can we either?
But the world can be both beautiful and terrible. It is the choice to see the good in it that is the challenge.
BTW, Drifter, can't ruin your image if you don't post your picture somewhere more easy to find.
It is not useful to blot out that which is not good in the world.
It is not useful to dwell upon it either.
It is useful to be aware of it so as to be on one's guard against being negatively influenced by it.
Focus on what is good while being aware of what isn't so good is my recommendation.
The more you laugh the longer you'll live.
So 'tis not useful to take anything - especially ourselves - too seriously.
It doesn't matter how you feel - so long as the way you feel is by your own choice.
That is, never allow others to decide how you feel.
F'rinstance - if someone at work is making you feel angry - don't allow them to do so. Choose not to be angry and you won't feel angry.
We are all free to choose - every step of the way - no exceptions...
Sally, my dad played the clarinet in an army band for 25 years man and boy, my mother played the piano by ear (No cracks Bob or Raymond) she could hear a tune on the radio and play it straight away. Their children 7 of us not one of us inherited their musical talent. At school the music/singing class before the start, the teacher used to say would the three groaners (I was one of them) come and sit at the front and keep quiet, well that affected me for the rest of my life, whenever I sang afterwards folks used to groan (and still do) but it didn't stop me I love to sing and go about the house all day singing snatches of songs, Alice my wife doesn't mind except to say I never get the words right. I enjoyed your playing and your chat, humour and your philosophy in life . Keep it up

Intbel, Now you are acting like your Avatar looks, like a swami.
"Swami, how I love you how I love you, my dear ol' Swami..."
.... Not that's Swanee. Innit it.
Not much good a spelling sometimes.
It is very good advice. At this point I need an out of body experience. I'll just use up all my creativity and go to work a completely normal person. They won't know me.
Like Prot, I need to go home to K-PAX, and leave my old body behind. Ever seen that movie. One of the best. Leaves you feeling much better. "K-Pax" stars Kevin Spacey.
Parahandy, what beautiful sentiments. Where would performers be without those who have the trained ear to be the audience. We base how we feel on how we measure up to others. Others measure us by what they can do. No matter what, I think it is inevitable that we all end up feeling something other than love and end up internalizing it.
I can't help it, I march to the tune of a different drummer. And I wish he'd get the beat right, I am tired of tripping and and landing on my ear. Excuse me, I meant to put an extra "r" in the last word of the last sentence. But have to watch our words. Big brother is watching. But we love him, all in the family, isn't it?
Welcome HOME!!!! I love the anim - it's so [dare I use the word, being a man and all...?] cute!!! VERY imaginative!
.
Yes, welcome home, Kiwi. You have lots to catch up on. And tell us all the latest and greatest you have been studying with PI.
But now our wayward child is the Gman himself. Haven't read a post of his lately.
I am a moderator, I could ask Risto and Anthony if they could put a section of the forum especially for bathroom humor and then we'd know where to find the dear boy.
Anyway, we turned you into superman and a number of other things, that if you don't feel like killing us now, if you read back a few threads and all the pages, you may wonder why you came back.
But as you can see, it was all in good fun.
Intbel has been adversely effected, you should see, all he draws now is spinning planets and he did one with a bull on the back of the moon. Sorry, Inty, if that was a cow, well I can spot a female, myself, and that cow's name was feminine: "Lotta Bull".
I'm always around. But I'm in the same rut as Kiwi, I guess. So many tools and ideas, but none are working for me right now...:D
OK, I'm going back to lurking....
A sceen saver, what are you saving it from?
