I really like your paintings. vibrant stuff.

.robert mehling

gail; check him out. make him an offer to paint a zappa cd cover.

I guess he won't mind a link:



Really some interesting series he has! So check his web site.

Actually, the quotes in your posts are correctly formatted. You need to click on the Profile link at the top of the forum page and then scroll down to the preferences section and where it says Always allow BBCode: select Yes then scroll down to the bottom and click Submit.

Not that I will post any more here but thanks anyway, polydigm.

By the way, I think MeaSaurus do not deserve being called a fanatic

Different Species

I'm probably going to regret this, but why don't you explain this. MeaSaurus came here and told us about a book he had written and asked a simple question. Why did you then feel the need to refer to him in such an insulting manner?

Did not read his book but the ME probability of any given fanatical representation or write it and weapage falls at some point of the geometrical graph as had been previously explained.

Skeptasaurus and the many species of MeASaureus and or grammatical manipulations as such all fall or lie at variant plot points.

In thinking of the FZ quote "David Walley is a tragic case" there is no need to wonder what coordinates that witter occupied when he wrote his unauthorized biography of Frank that he called No Commercial Potential.

You have completely lost it now. Insane babblings. "geometrical graph as had been previously explained" - you are having a breakdown, right?

Did you read the first post of this thread or do you have as much trouble reading English as you do writing it? Your comments sound like insane babblings and have nothing to do with the book that MeaSaurus says he has written. This convinces me that you really are just a troll.

Hey if you did not grasp the geometric analytical parameters I had described earlier in this topic that is just what it is. If you want to grasp that go back and try it again and if not that is fine too but one thing I can tell you is the "How can I " as questioned in the topic heading could very well be any of the many Measaurus out there.

What's next some world wide Green Screen technique with thousands of in the ballpark musicians and former executives taking turns snorting detergent and plooking each other as they somehow ME ME ME ME, ME ME ME Measaureously represent Joe's Garage .



The answer to the general question is elementary but how many people get a response as to how, when, where and why is by no means definitively defined. On can ask but getting official approval by no means is guaranteed. Regardless of if this book is good enough to get some Official Stamp of Approval, become some Tragic Case historic ME ME ME Measaureous pootage or place itrslef of some other geometrical plot point of the ME ME ME ME it puts the general question under the microscope more so than this particular book,

Factually speaking David Walley wrote an Unauthorized Biography of FZ and at one point in time Frank Zappa directly stated 'David Walley is a tragic case"

It's not that I want to drag a deceased writers name in the mud but this is a fine example to the question. Sometimes a historical response to these type of questions regarding Official FZ approval more than the logical general answer to the question. Take for example any President of the USA he gets lots of letters and questions but by no means does he personally answer every one of these letters and questions.

The poor bloke just wants to ask Gail if he can quote an FZ song or two in a book.......

Anybody can write a book but if you choose to quote some artist get in line and wait for permission.

Hmm I wonder where he got the idea to DINO the ME ME ME ME ME.

For the period from November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008 we have not been
paid for any orders. Your next statement will be issued on January

The title of this book may seem a little obscure. Let me explain. “Mea saurus” is from the Latin. The penitent ancient Roman (Christian) would beat his breast three times and say, “Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa” (It’s my fault, it’s my fault, it is very much my fault). [4] Usually that was what he said. However, he may have sought penance by saying these alternative words: “Mea saurus, mea saurus, mea maxima saurus” (I’m a lizard, I’m a lizard, I’m the biggest lizard). Since very few of us are taught Latin anymore today (me included), we find the “mea saurus” incomprehensibly bizarre and totally unrelated to the “mea culpa” still used by lawyers, but to the ancient Roman, “mea saurus” meant essentially the same thing. How is this possible?
It is because the connotation of the Greek word “saurus” has drastically shifted over the last one hundred fifty years, and we essentially have one man, the Victorian scientist Sir Richard Owen, to thank for that. He is the person responsible for pairing deinos (terrible) with saurus (lizard) and coining the term “dinosaur.” Ever since, the utterance of the Greco-Roman word for lizard immediately congers up images in our imaginations of extinct creatures like Apatosaurus and Tyrannosaurus- enormous lizards. This is not the only instance where science has redefined the common meaning of a word. For example, “primate” used to mean “archbishop,” but thanks to science, it now means, “ape.”
Modern Americans think of lizards as pets kept in terrariums, but to the ancient Greeks and Romans, they were nuisance pests. Creatures like podarcis, the common wall lizard, were the cockroaches of the ancient Mediterranean world. All reptiles (and amphibians, which they did not recognize as distinct) were regarded as despicable, literally “creepy-crawly” things (the word “reptile” is from the Latin reptilis, creeping). Today, spiders and centipedes better fit our definition of “vermin” than lizards, but the ancients found all such creatures repulsive. Therefore, when ancient Romans called themselves lizards, they were branding themselves with an extremely humiliating and self-depreciating term. Armed with this information, we can reconstruct the original meaning: “I’m a creep, I’m a creep, I’m an enormously despicable creep,” not “I’m a great big dinosaur!” I chose “mea saurus” over “mea culpa” as the title of my confession deliberately because I get a kick out of such etymological and semantic confusions.
