Thread of the week!
 

Vote ya jerks!

where's the pistaboy thread? fine, i'll vote from what's up there....they're all fantastic candidates.

I know it wasn't this week, but I liked the thread where Joe Gardner threatened to shut down the FG/SS forum unless we cleaned up our act.

i think i wanna change my vote. "what threads i should never start" is getting pretty amusing.

Woah! got a link**********

Obviously, he didn't get through to us. This forum is going to get shut down.

No "Shants' Spoke Card."
No "Is Shants Pistaboy?"

This poll is crap.

YOUR poll is crap!

if this gets shut down, attack the roadies!!!! j/k d00dz, j/k...

i had no idea about that. i've had to spend the past few days rendering stuff and have had too much time sitting and watching a beachball spin around on my screen. i'm guilty of reckless boredom.

i'm also incredibly guilty of violating a lot of those guidelines.

it's funny though. irreverance and creativity are a huge part of FF/SG culture. looking back at a lot of threads on the front page, the off-topic stuff and silliness is pretty well contained in a couple of specific threads. it dips into others, but it doesn't drive them.

if people are looking for straight answers, isn't that what the search function is for?

if people are looking for community that's what poking around is for. community takes all types if you don't want to end up with a mausoleum.

+1

i'm writing in the "shants' spoke card" thread on my ballot.

haha.
I voted Kermit because, obviously, the Muppets are rad.

Here's Kermit rockin' bare tt bars, reversed and chopped. He's riding a vintage Bianchi pista, in the original celeste glory...

That one is left hand drive TOO! Didja ever notice all Muppet guitarists play lefty? Really check out Electric Mayhem. http://www.serienoldies.de/images2/m...ric_mayhem.jpg

Left hand drive bikes, left handed guitarists, it's some sort of puppet leftist conspiracy! :eek:

That bass player is playing righty.

Her name is Janice, dood.

The bass player is a boy.
Sgt. Floyd Pepper.

bass player in the muppets, looks like a guy I know who plays bass.

Bass player in the muppets is a guy.

haha.

Foo. I concede defeat.

but we've had this conversation before.

The base player plays lefty too.

There must be something wrong with that picture.

I've been observing this for years ALL muppets play Guitar (and bass guitar) lefty, not just the members of Electric Mayhem.

I've not checked this, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that post-disney they all were forced to switch hands.http://scottyboombox.com/graphics/EmmetOtter-sm.jpg

when did disney take over? there was definitely a point when the **** went downhill.

When Jim Henson died... :crash:

i dunno..it took a few viewings, but eventually i liked the muppets christmas carol...it retained some of the original irreverence. but that muppets wizard of oz they did on abc this spring...abysmal....
