I hit 2112 posts with T. Analog Kid. For reason that will be obvious to Rush fans, I am retiring that screen name.

So... hi [Wave]

Welcome Jim-me [Wave]

Posted by Zamphyr (Member # 6213) on :

Isn't Rush touring again this year ? New album ??

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

May we still refer to you as TAK? (It's fun to confuse newbies by calling as many people as possible in a thread something other than their visible screen-name. [Evil]

) Or do you prefer Jim-Me? How about Jim?

Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :

I'll answer to whatever.

Rush doesn't have a new album (I think) but they are touring. www.rush.com

This is going to take some getting used to...

Edit – but that's a decent pun. [Smile]

Ok, thanks for clearing up all the confusion now. [Wink]

By the way, I still haven't heard back, do you know what's going on?

Hobbes [Smile]

Wow.

Rush.

Its amazing to me that people don't all get violently ill listening to them, much less being loyal fans.

To each his own I guess.

But now you are a newbie again. Guess you'll have to be burninated and eaten again.

At least being a newb comes with a nice shiny box. We'll let you know when you are ready to come out of it.

Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :

Xavier, I never got burninated or eaten the first time around because I'm pretty sure I pre-date both Pat and Slash, so that should be fun if they have the 'nads to do it... [Big Grin]

Hobbes, John has been kinda busy lately and *I* haven't gotten to talk to him much... I thought with the milestone past things would lighten up, but he has a lot of personal stuff going on, too. Patience, my Tiger. I'll let you know as soon as I do, but right now, he's hardly talking to *me*.

Ryuko, yes, just about anything. I have three first names and on top of that, about forty nicknames. As a result if someone says something and no one answers immediately, I'll assume it's directed at me [Smile]

Calling me any of my nicknames or screen names will just about for sure get a direct reply.

Thanks to pixiest for the southpark reference and twinky for the compliment... the first time anyone has accused me of punning correctly at all.

...about forty nicknames

Are you from California, and is "Dude" one of them? 'Cause there's about 40 ways to say "dude."

Posted by Sopwith (Member # 4640) on :

Ahhh, so TAK passes on into the Temples of Syrinx and another day dawns...

But at least the man behind the moniker stays!

For Jim:

quote:
The boy lies in the grass with one blade
Stuck between his teeth
A vague sensation quickens
In his young and restless heart
And a bright and nameless vision
Has him longing to depart

Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :

I am from California and "dude" is not one of them [Big Grin]

Sopwith <sniff> thank you...

Posted by JonnyNotSoBravo (Member # 5715) on :

We Rush fans support you for honoring the number.

BTW, are you going to see them when they tour this summer? I have tickets to go see them someplace in WA...Clark County Amphitheater.

Posted by Godric (Member # 4587) on :

But... But... T. Analog Kid is such a great screen name! I will miss seeing it... [Frown]

Posted by Alexa (Member # 6285) on :

p p p pounding in your temple..

Posted by Jim-Me (Member # 6426) on :

oooh... Alexa.... A woman who knows the lyrics to "The Enemy Within"?! <shivers>

I will definitely be seeing Rush at whatever they are calling the former Starplex Amphitheater in Dallas these days.
