Both make funny faces on stage, but whose reveal more about his character?

Nobody's gonna answer this. This thread has no legs.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:49 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread should just say "Please Delete Me."

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Or have a T-shirt that says "Please Delete Me."

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Or one that says "I (word "love" crossed out) Hate This Thread"

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Or, of course carved-in-chest-in-dried-blood motto "Please Delete Me," emphasized by spiky haircut above, torn jeans below and cool positioning of arm and thrusting out of said chest.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

should have said "our very own Dirk McQuickly"

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Written McQuickly, pronounced something like "McQuigly"

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Does this constitute spamming? I am the only one posting here and already made a TS Jojo versus blank thread today that is going down down down.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:56 (twenty-one years ago)

And I already crossed paths today with Ned over misthreading, if only humourously, (I hope).

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Five minutes ago, I actually thought I intended this thread seriously.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, doign this is better than doing what I should be doing right now.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe Momus can help me go back in time and fix this thread, but I already bothered him once today.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Or it least fix th e typos.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 23:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Including that one.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 23:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I OWN this thread!

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:20 (twenty-one years ago)

And I already crossed paths today with Ned over misthreading, if only humourously, (I hope).

*calls down deathray* Oh wait.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I say Dirk's face-making is more embarrassing because Jonathan usually only pulls a funny face when soloing, whereas Dirk does it for no particular reason at all.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:23 (twenty-one years ago)

This is the thread, my only thread.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

T-H-R and E-A-D
find out what it means to me.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:25 (twenty-one years ago)

In fact, Paul McCartney hated the Rutles, apparently because of Eric Idle's face-pulling.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:26 (twenty-one years ago)

But George Harrison was IN the Rutles, so he must have LIKED it.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:26 (twenty-one years ago)

And I think he put some money into it to.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:27 (twenty-one years ago)

But I bet not all of the money made it into the movie, I bet his business manager took a lot of it.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, more than his fair share, that's for sure.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Do you think Jonathan Richman ever listened to the Bonzos?

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Probably not. He takes himself too seriously.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:29 (twenty-one years ago)

But that's probably for the best.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:29 (twenty-one years ago)

If Jonathan ever crossed paths with Viv Stanshall, it would probably be one of those universe destroying matter-antimatter collisions.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Steven Wright, MOVE OVER!

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Or, for those who read books:
David Markson, MOVE OVER!

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I think in order to keep the music quotient up,I better say something about Jonathan Richman or the Rutles again.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:31 (twenty-one years ago)

What would happen if you crossed Jonathan Richman with Ollie Halsall?

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:32 (twenty-one years ago)

That would be some kind of unthinkable scary monster!

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:32 (twenty-one years ago)

If not a super creep, of course.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm clutching at straws.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

But I'm leaving behind...

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

a legend to last a lunchtime!

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

That last post took about one second to think up...

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:34 (twenty-one years ago)

.. this next one even longer!

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Why did I use my (more or less) real name on this thread?

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, Ricky Gervaise did it before "The Office."

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:35 (twenty-one years ago)

But then you notice that the character on "The Office" is NOT called Ricky Gervaise.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:35 (twenty-one years ago)

He was called David Brent, the Brentmeister General.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:36 (twenty-one years ago)

No one should be punished for having big boobs, Dutch or otherwise.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:37 (twenty-one years ago)

They should be rewarded.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:37 (twenty-one years ago)

They should be equal.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Ricky Gervaise apparently was in a pop group that had a hit, but I can't remember the name.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Something like Sanoma's Dancing, or Silona's Dancing or some chick's name that's not a name in only language I speak.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Which is not a name in any language I speak, and I speak quite a few.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:40 (twenty-one years ago)

All badly of course, but I can order a meal and a drink and have a conversation with a stranger on a train, as long as I don't worry too much about the grammar.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:41 (twenty-one years ago)

As long as that stranger on that train is not Robert Walker or worse, his son, Robert Walker Jr., who had the evil eye the aliens gave him so he could punish people severely who he thought were making fun of him.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:42 (twenty-one years ago)

You see, he had alien superpowers but he had the emotion development of a child so he didn't know when to use them and when NOT to use them, so Captain Kirk had to set him straight, or rather SEND him straight- straight back to the aliens.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:44 (twenty-one years ago)

The question was what type of alien is Mr. Spock? Vulcan? Not so. Mr. Spock's mother was human, so Mr. Spock was HALF-Vulcan. So the trivia contest vote must be recounted. I am now tired of the one sentence format, I grow old, I grow old.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

That's a quote from, among other things, one of Nick Currie's best songs "mono no aware." I'm actually a fan, though I like to take the piss.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm sure when I look back at this I'll see a million typos. (There's an REM song in there somewhere)

Handbags and Gladrags.

Freelove on the Freelove Highway. Now THAT should be on the Worst Mix Tape Ever.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:48 (twenty-one years ago)

So it turns at the title was one of those gag titles after all, like "This Is Not A Pipe" or "This Is Not A Book."

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:49 (twenty-one years ago)

The kind of cheapo paradox that invariably fucked up the most sophisticated computer, even or especially if it was remnant of the most sophisticated extinct civilation that the universe has ever seen or will see.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:51 (twenty-one years ago)

But once said computer was fucked up, Captain Kirk could get back to business.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Chasing those green biotches 'round the galaxy.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Heading off to Eden.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Nice to see Mr. Spock on air lyre.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Drop in Ned Ragett on moderation.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:52 (twenty-one years ago)

That was a sly reference to the Bonzos's The Intro And The Outro.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I gonna wrap this up and say that in it's way it was intended as a tribute to Viv Stanshall and John Peel.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean "its."

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:54 (twenty-one years ago)

But it wasn't.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 03:54 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

REVIVE this piece of *shit*

― Masked Gazza, Saturday, 15 January 2005 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Jonathan's faces are cool. Also, he is a good dancer!
