'Who am I? Why am I here?' -Admiral Stockdale

I'm a trial attorney and former pop icon, now hanging my hat and shingle in sleepy Southwest Virginia, 'Where Men Are Men, And Sheep Are Scared.' See below for more info on my most famous musical project, DLS.

As for why I pay attention to these two Micks? Well, I'm probably related to them, as everyone in Cork is related, or so my great-grandaddy from Dublin used to say, and the 'other side of the family' came over from that part of that part of the world. More later, after you lot stick that in your pipe and smoke it for a bit.

Excerpt from 'A history of pop icons: Damn Lying Squirrels'
Hailing from the basements of rural Virginia, Damn Lying Squirrels broke into the pop scene in 1993 with their debut album, The Needles Sessions. The band's latest album, Leading Green, merges Bruce Russell's bright vocals and the musicianship of Kyle Hall with poppy synths to produce an album teeming with teenage anthems. With standout tracks like "Needles (Traveling Riverside Squirrels)," already certified platinum in Europe, and in spite of fish-sex scandals that would put Led Zeppelin in its heyday to shame, Damn Lying Squirrels can count on loads of future success.

That was in 1995. The years were not a friend to us.

Somehow I knew you'd be one of the first Razz

I know the lads have been looking for a new theme tune for a while since they dumped the old one due to legal ramification fear. Perhaps you cold provide them with one.
I've always envisioned their theme as Duelling Banjos Razz

Ahh! Not you too!! I don't actually know that song!!!

Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT the first thing you learn when you pick up a banjo. Although funnily enough, the only teacher I ever had who played that song told a story about camping in the UK after he just picked up the banjo. Some French guy saw the banjo, brought out his own and said "do you know thees one?" and started playing your favorite song.

And yes it is Monday, my class night and no, I am not ready. Again.

I love the simulated French accent. I can feel your bigotry towards the Frogs from all the way over here! Laughing

Don't you give them the wrong idea of me, Colonel! You know perfectly well that is NOT a trait we share.

And if I could write that funny noise I associate with them, I would have.

What is great about Froggie's accent is the more over-the-top you go in impersonating it, the more authentic you sound.

C, make sure to send me your address so bride and I can get you on the X-Mas list. You and the Colonel are my only internet friends to make the cut so far.

Clearly the Curse of Sam Moore is at play here.

Did you look in your spam folder? I sent you another piece of email at BOTH email addresses I have for you.

So, I haven't seen the episode yet. The problem (for me) is that it won't play on anything other than a computer. My friend burned it to CD in a .something format that the player won't play but that the computer likes. I've copied the file and would love to send the disc off. One less thing sitting on my coffee table.

On a more disgusting note, I am currently unable to use said computer as my beloved canine threw up all over the keyboard. Hopefully the replacement will show up in the mail today Smile
