Subject: Photo Requests, 99% Chat-Free!

Written By: Luke Brattoni on 02/15/05 at 3:21 am

OK, I'm planning on doing a drawing of we parody folk ala that Beatles cover... you know the one, where they're all in a big crowd... with the drum... St Pepper, that's the one.

So anybody who wants their noggin involved should post a clear photo of their face here.

Oh yeah, would chat please be kept to a minimum, I know that it's a brilliant idea and that I'm such a gosh darn clever and caring individual and that my biceps have really toned over the past few weeks. So just plant your gorgeous mugs here and be gone.

Bastards.

St Pepper?.....Saint Pepper, Saint Pepper, no.....

Corporal Pepper?...hmm...Sargeant Pepper?...no, that's that old Beatles album, wouldn't be that...

maybe he means General Pepper?....or George Pepper!

I'll be in that Luke.....a George Peppard album cover!...wow!...brb!

Bastards.



You can't call people 'bastards' on this thread; they won't get it, and they'll start crying. 

Then they'll visit all of your parodies and '1-1-1' them.

Then they'll PM Chucky to have you banned from the board.  Actually, no that's too straightforward, so before they do that, they'll...

Start a new thread "Dear Chucky, Please Ban Luke!" so they can get the agreement of all of their buddies on the boards about what a bad person you are...

Then, once the thread reaches 50 pages or so, 'Room Full of Flunkies' will write a really, really lame-ass parody about what a bad person you are ('Ban Luke From the Site' to the tune of 'Blinded by the Light')....

So just spare yourself all the drama.  Be polite.

Bastard.

I wish a hat was involved so I could use Homer's phrase, "Less chat, more hat". But then that's my wish quite often. You're all dead sexy from what i can see, and I can't see much. Here's the photos of just me I threw up on the photo thread a while back. I was against posting some of these, but if they bring out of feature that I've gotten props for, then I can't say no. Apparently chicks dig my eyes. And they apparently change color, so different chicks can appreciate them on different days or something. Righteous. Not as sexy as Mike's legs, but you gotta start somewhere.

Another thing, I'm thinking of having everyone in poses that relate to their AmiRight alter-ego. ie. Merry and Pippin in hobbit outfits underneath Arwen on a white steed making out with Vin Diesel/Johnny Depp Siamese twins. And Johnny with swordfish and percocet etc.

Moral dilemma: who do I put as the four parody artists up fornt in the Beatles' outfits?

I like MooRocca's ideas but I took a different approach:  Who are the biggest Beatlemaniacs here?  I dug up a couple old threads to find the answer:

http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php/topic,5330.0.html

http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php/topic,5130.60.html (scroll down to Rick's "Beatle Quiz")

In my opinion, Rick has to be up there and he has to be John.  He's parodied EVERY SINGLE BEATLES SONG, for crying out loud.  Spaff is clearly a huge fan, would make a great Paul, and is the author of "All I Really Need To Know I Learned From The Beatles".  ChuckyG would make an excellent George (the "quiet one").  Ringo is a toss-up between Stu and Phil.  Stu looks like a bigger fan but Phil is more of an AmiRight icon (so far). 

All right, just wanted to throw that out there.  Say, if you put me in there, I should be juggling my children, Michael Jackson-style.  Cool idea; don't fall behind in school now.

but I still like this one better...from a couple days earlier in the same trip, as I was preparing to leave Willits, CA and head on back down to L.A.- with stops in San Jose to see Rick & Mari D (and perform a couple of my parodies at the Espresso Gardens Cafe), Sunnyvale (as pictured above this note), and finally back home to Culver City (west side of L.A. area)...I think it's the sunglasses I like...or maybe the zipper that might or might not have been open at the time of the picture (I really don't know...honest).  Geez!  I can't believe I fooled around with that picture enough so that I don't have the actual original just by itself!  Oh, well...here it is with another from the same day attached as well...the "Sunglasses" one probably would be good as one of the 'Sgt.

These people are confusing correlation with causality.  I'd bet people with the name Tristan tend to be better educated than average.  Why?  Because there's something magical about the name Tristan?  No, because the kind of parents likely to name their child Tristan are likely to be more well-read than average, better educated than the average, and therefore more likely to ensure that their child is similarly well-educated.

But you people are chatting way too much -- isn't this thread supposed to be 99% photos?

By the way, why are there so many guys on this damm site anyway?  That's not what I come to this thread to see -- more good-looking women, please!  Sheesh.

I remember a time some twenty years ago when a girlfriend who was into numerology "proved" to me that women with two "v":s in their name had a fallout way above average when it came to intelligence and/or academic studies/results. Her name was Veronica and she said that she would never forgive her parents for not naming here Viviann or Viveka, especially since those had been among the alternatives on the table.




In our book of 58,000 baby names, it actually has names of kids that excel academically, and Emily was at the top of the girls list.  For guys:  Hans.  Go figure.

I have known 2 Tristans in my whole life.

#1...Tristan the hyperactive boy who runs into trees when he's playing in the park.  His dad is a professional student and his mom sells tupperware.

#2...Tristan the drug addicted high school drop out girl.  Her dad is a plumber and I have no idea what her mom does.

I have nothing against the name Tristan...but clearly, Leo, it is not just for hoity toity types.  There are average run of the mill people who might just like the name.

Well, your two Tristans hardly make up what I would call a statistically significant sample.  :P  And you don't have to be "hoity-toity" to value education.  There are many well-read plumbers you know... elitist bastard.  :P

There was actually a valedictorian a few years ahead of me named Hans.  His younger brother, Ivan, was actually valedictorian of HIS class.  How does Ivan rank in your little baby book?

I have so shared Leo's view since primary school. All the kids with names like Tameeka and Epponee-Rae (Aussie humour) generally had working class parents whereas Richards and Elizabeths all had well-established Angloristocratic families with law firms and the like.

Riiiight, I knew I'd forgotten something about this thread. The drawing! Well, I've started over cuz of... stuff... I'll blame having to read excerpts from twenty seperate books A WEEK and somehow making it into the Uni play over second & third-year auditionees.

I got pics of Wolveroses and some other people from the Photo Thread who haven't been to this one, so hopefully they won't mind being plaster busts or flower arrangements.

just to bring a little reality (very little...lol) to your remark, some friends of mine up in Northern California has a grandson of that name and he is a fine young fellow, not hyperactive (beyond normal 8-year old boy behaviour), nor drug addicted...Grandparents and Parents are productive and decent folks...whether they are "average"...who the hell cares?

Well, the one kid I know named Tristan is indeed quite ADD. He's also a freaking genius, but still has way too much energy, which gets annoying pretty fast. I've babysat him a few times, which is an odd mixture of awesome and lame - awesome because he's a total gamer just like me, lame because he's like 8 years old and perpetually jumping off the wall.

EDIT: I notice this thread isn't 99% chat-free anymore :P.

The one with the dead body and Catherine running around in sexy clothing completely inappropriate for the workplace?  I've seen that one.
