and where have you been, young man? i had to send the hookerbots and the pizza oven home. this rubber chicken will not pluck itself, you know.
I've actually been sort of busy on the music front...lost my band project because of my disease, but I seem to be building a rep as a sound tech. Spent the last three weeks gigging...or supporting bands gigging. Got another this Friday.

awright! excellent! hope the modeling hasn't died... build!

They used flying creature names for a lot of their bombers, I think my favorite sounding was the SM.81 "Pipistrello" (bat).

tanks.
I've seen that one before - somewhere. One just doesn't forget that. ;)
That one is completely new to me. I'm not surprised, as many weird things with men riding fell off bridges and other high places. :)
