Bottomgottem Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Our Budapest-ian bother, Gab, has let me know, in no uncertain terms, that my avatar (whom I affectionatly call Uncle Brother) is freaking him out. I would like to know if this is a prevailing sentiment here on the forum or am I just wasting bandwidth with the question. My whole trick is to keep the tune well out in front. If I play Tchaikovsky, I play his melodies and skip his spiritual struggle. ~Liberace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlrush Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hey Bottom, I think Uncle Brother's kinda cool in a hillbilly sort of way. Could be Uncle Jed Clampett's brother or long lost cousin. I think Gab is just yankin' yer chain. Visit my band's new web site. www.themojoroots.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gab Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 No yankin' chains here, Uncle Brother is definitely freaky. Check out his posture and the way he sits there. And the stare he gives. But to be honest, i've gotten pretty accustomed to seeing him and would miss him dearly, should he part with us.

saxofunk Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 UB is ok. Eddie's demon thingy is freaky, but I've got used to it.

Danzilla Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Freaky can be a good thing. It's good to know that all kinds are represented here inthe LDLD.

Fred TBP Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Definitely an improvement over the "smiling pig" avatar. I was beginning to think you were a George Orwell or Roger Waters fan.

Bottomgottem Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Originally posted by thabottomend: What I want to know is who gave you my great-granddaddy's picture? Your great-grandmammy . The score is currently 18 to 2 in favor of Uncle Brother and he is "happy as a june-bug trapped in a chicken house", whatever that means. A little background: Uncle Brother is 32 years old; likes puppies, long walks on the beach, sunsets, and teaching Ashlee Simpson how to dance. He dislikes only two things: those who are intolerant of people from other countries, and Budapest-ians (I'm just joking with you, Gab.) (nod to Austin Powers for the blatant use of the intolerance line) My whole trick is to keep the tune well out in front. If I play Tchaikovsky, I play his melodies and skip his spiritual struggle. ~Liberace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Robert Rennix Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Originally posted by Bottomgottem: "happy as a june-bug trapped in a chicken house", whatever that means.[/QB]That particular turn of phrase would have to be used ironically, because chickens will eat bugs therefore a junebug would not be happy in a chicken coup/hen house. If you meant to be genuine, I think you'd want to say something like, "happy as a fox in a hen house". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottomgottem Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Uncle Brother is the king of irony. He meant what he said and he said what he meant. "We don't know what kind of june-bugs you have in PA., but the chickens don't dare mess with the cruise missiles we have buzzin' around here, whippersnapper. Now, git!"

davio Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Eddie being Dave is as confusing as Da LadY In Tha Pink Dress being a guy. Uncle Brother is ok in my book. He doesn't bother anybody if they don't bother him first. What'd you do to him Gab? Tenstrum, I loved your old avatar! Why'd you change it?

Tenstrum, I loved your old avatar! Why'd you change it? Da LadY is a guy?!?! I should probably pay more attention to the profiles. In the stretch of geography that that separates Tenstrum and I, the Uncle Brother types are definitely a force to be reckoned with. jlrush: No fibbin' about his age. He was born with that beard.
