Glad to look here and get a handle on all this good work. Anticipating the new Zappa.com

z.com doesn't function on my main browser which is an older (like me) version of explorer....No worries though, because I also have google chrome for the modern stuff and z.com looks excellent on chrome

Thank you for stepping up to Moderate this board.
I stopped coming here as it was just out of control and what was going on wasn't much fun to read.
Here's hoping for a civil forum!

WHAT'S THE MATTER? YOU DON'T LIKE SOMEONE GETTING IN YOUR FACE AND CALLING YOU 'FAGGOT' EVERY TIME YOU MAKE SOME INNOCUOUS LITTLE POST?

Me neither. Enjoy it while you can... :P

I have very little stomach for that kind of childish behavior.
I've been a grown up for a very long time and come here because I've liked Frank's music since I discovered it in the late 1960s/early 70s.
For those of you who own the Baby Snakes DVD, that's me with the "Tower of Power" during the poodle rap. I must have been 16 at the time and didn't realize that I was being filmed and had forgotten all about it until I saw the movie. :smoke:
That was a big surprise!

He's over at zappateers right now calling someone a retart because they dared ask if the first disc of Meat Light might be a DVD. Just in case you're missing it ...

As a child, I stuck the tweezers from the Operation board game into an outlet -- turned my fingers black and scared the heck out of me. :shock:

When I was around three, I did the same with my knife at the breakfast table. Slid the knife blade up the wall in behind the power socket box. It was pretty spectacular.

When I was six, I missed the dart board, and it stuck into the light cord. I gabbd the metal part, of the dart, to pull it out. Jumped 3 feet into the air.
(didn't help, though, eventually I still went bald.... :cry: )

I must have been around 5 when I made the association between the form of a loose hairpin I found and the outlet, so I made the obvious decision to open the pin's two extremities just sufficiently so they could fit the electricity outlet. Gladly I'm still around...

I was thinking that the View active topics link now worked, but apparently it only applies to the two new pinned threads started by Mikey.
