Bred for their special skills in magic.



Hi all. Not feeling like maths study, hence postage.
This is tentatively what the band's album cover should look vaguely like, at leaqst the band actually has a name now. Took enough years. Anyway, with around 25 completed songs and 20 more in stasis, We felt the time to start busting out and laying some of them down for good moight be a noice idea. After November 17th, who knows what could happen.
But until then - Hiatus. stupid learning.

Just for the sake of anyone who's reading this and not actually in the band, i thought i'd give an appetiser by listing my favorite most most disturbing track titles of ours.
#5- Dead Horse Flats
#4- The Pillsbury Doughboy is Dead
#3- That's my sandwich
#2- (proud to be an) Iraqi Citizen
and of course
#1- Hardcore Animal Porn

Chances are that most of them wont be on the album... or maybe they will, who knows...but just the titles themselves should give somekind of a taste as to what the band's like.

My fave book: East of Eden
my fave colour: silver,blue,black and white all marbled together.
my fave chord: Bm
my fave religion: Raelian
my fave robot: Lisa's grammar robot ("sentence fragment is sentence fragment!")
my fave martian: that was such a good show
my fave out-dated tv show: equal tie between Mr. Ed and Lamb Chop.
my fave joke: "A woman walks into a bar and asks for a double entendre. So the bartender giver her one."
my fave drama warm-up: The 'allrighty then' joke from the movie
my fave mystery man: The Blue Rajah. (but credit where due to the waffler. fuck that was gold.)

HOW TO BUILD A TABERNACLE FOR IDIOTS
(or the most useless part of the bible why did they devote 4 and a half pages to this???)
This can call be found in Exodus 25-28. (yes 4 fuckin chapters.) But I've only included a little extract just for the taste. I have finally finally proven why no one reads the bible and why if god really does exist, he's a dick.
Plus, if he does exist, we're all screwed becuase i'll bet your tabernacle doesn't look like this.

Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.
The Tabernacle 1 "Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim worked into them by a skilled craftsman. 2 All the curtains are to be the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide. [a] 3 Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the other five. 4 Make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and do the same with the end curtain in the other set. 5 Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other. 6 Then make fifty gold clasps and use them to fasten the curtains together so that the tabernacle is a unit.
7 "Make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether. 8 All eleven curtains are to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide. [b] 9 Join five of the curtains together into one set and the other six into another set. Fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent. 10 Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set. 11 Then make fifty bronze clasps and put them in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit. 12 As for the additional length of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over is to hang down at the rear of the tabernacle. 13 The tent curtains will be a cubit [c] longer on both sides; what is left will hang over the sides of the tabernacle so as to cover it. 14 Make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of hides of sea cows. [d]
15 "Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 16 Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide, [e] 17 with two projections set parallel to each other. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 18 Make twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle 19 and make forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection. 20 For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, make twenty frames 21 and forty silver bases—two under each frame. 22 Make six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle, 23 and make two frames for the corners at the far end. 24 At these two corners they must be double from the bottom all the way to the top, and fitted into a single ring; both shall be like that. 25 So there will be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.
26 "Also make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 27 five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle. 28 The center crossbar is to extend from end to end at the middle of the frames. 29 Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.
30 "Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain.
31 "Make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim worked into it by a skilled craftsman. 32 Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases. 33 Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. 34 Put the atonement cover on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place. 35 Place the table outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side.
36 "For the entrance to the tent make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer. 37 Make gold hooks for this curtain and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold. And cast five bronze bases for them.
Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern.


Just thought you might like to read that. I'll bet you 10 bucks that they never take a shitty little "inspirational verse of the day" from that!

I only use he becuase the bible does. I'm just using the conventions of that belief system.

well, i suppose that makes sense, but why indeed must we reinforce the conventions of a rigid and stupidly patriachal system. jsut cos its bin around for a few hndred yrs. although, it would explain a lot if our supposed omniscient overlord was male
