The Long Winters

Come to think of it, there's your third album right there. A rock opera, clash of the titans kind of piece. Call it "Soldiers of the Disc," and see if you can't get merchandising tie-ins with Wham-O. The videos would write themselves.....

I've heard *of* it. I may even have heard excerpts, but they've floated out of my mind at the moment.

Why? Some sort of command performance required of you?

never be bored again.

I have no idea. The Long Winters boys rode them into town, pelting the children and elderly with small pieces of candy. One old man lost an eye. Then MacGyver jumped out of a basket and proceeded to mop the floor with John. Literally. Man, that floor was SO CLEAN! Suddenly, I'm getting a sharp pain...

That's not Natalie Wood, actually. That's his college girlfriend, Serena.

He was never quite the same after they found her... but let us not discuss such things.

Yes, bacon. Cooking it in quantity does awful things to velvet wallpaper, as Merlin's kitchen proves.

If he'd known you were coming, the case would have been shifted under the bed itself.

The comic is, after all, printed with Real Kiss Blood. For some, it's a priceless treasure.

Merle's In Parties? (it's in the caaaaan!)

It isn't Asia at all, I'm afraid. Here, this should clear things up. Purloined from Merlin's personal collection, kept under glass in a humidity-controlled display case at the foot of his bed, ("so I can see it right before I go to sleep and then as soon as I wake up"): http://www.voodoovenue.com/im...

This review of the New Pornographers may help explain the "movement."

i am from sub-saharan africa. it's true. Really? I think the Long Winters would be well received in Cape Town. Is that where you are? Haven't been there in ages. Most of my relatives there have fled to happier climes, but not all... not all. when the long winters played here a riot broke out. 9 cam...

Apparently, it's also the verb used to describe both downhill and cross-country skiing....

I am, as you have no doubt just noted, prone to wander. So is your family, literally. So far we've heard about relatives in Liechtenstein, Capetown and of course Great Uncle Ignatz in Goch. Well, it's the consequence of having parents who are immigrants, and whose parents were themselves immigrants...

O ho! A ha! I spoke too soon!

The changes have been made! Oh, happy day, to learn of such dizzying powers at my behest!!

Thank you, technology!

I think I need a good sit down after all this excitement.

china and taiwan are members of one nation (bit like germany used to be until the wall came down) who decided to split into two states for ideological reasons. they share nationality, ethnicity, culture and language. gb and ireland do not share nationality, ethnicity or culture and only share the l...

He's great fun. If you do see him read, speak with him afterwards and tell him I send warmest regards.

Oh, and if you have a chance, exchange mix tapes with him. His musical scope is rather wide, and pleasing.

Long and bitter years of experience, I'm afraid, moreso than any native aptitude. That and an adventurous youth as a birdwatcher and junior naturalist.

Yes, sandpiper!



A bit larger than a plover, long beak.

Seagulls? no. smaller (sparrow size), brownish. (but thanks for the thought herb!) Quite probably, you are referring to a plover : http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:hnhNWjQ3YGgC:www.wildlifewebsite.com/birds/piping%2520plover.jpg I am an Antipodian (of the Melbourne, Australia variety).
