5'9", about 180-185 lbs. I prefer corn tortillas, though you will probably have to use a couple of layers to keep me from falling out of the bottom. I prefer black beans, rice or potatoes, not both, pico, guac, salsa verde, cabbage, everything but the kitchen sink. This is actually making me hungry in a morbid sort of way. Now that I've tried things like brain, tongue, tripe, etc... in my tacos and enjoyed them, I'm thinking that this could get out of hand quickly. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

So I spoke to the factory manager, and our conversation actually brought a tear to his eye. It turns out he was funeral director before he moved to the USA and that's how he got his start in the tortilla business. He says that you're a little bigger than the people they usually work for, but it shouldn't be a problem, although he offered an alternate suggestion: the tradition in his hometown is to finely chop the decedent and distribute him or her amongst individual tacos. This would solve some of your logistical problems, but on the whole, a grand single-burrito ceremony in the old style would better suit you, in my opinion. He may have just been trying to unload some factory overruns... Nice guy, though, I think his name was Anibal or Hanival or something. In any case, we've decided on fresh cilantro, fresh purple cabbage, grated red onion, three different types of corn, crema, queso blanco (a better fit for the black beans according to him), the salsas you've requested, fried serrano peppers, some shredded dried chilpotles, and an assortment of Bolivian potatoes. He also asks if there's a family member or beloved pet that you would like to have made into chorizo - apparently a nice option for some of the guests. I'll send you his info. Please feel free to contact him directly to work out any final details - he was oddly eager for your home address: Senor Lecter, G.M. Dahmer and Fish Tortillas 975 Grand St, Sub-Basement C Brooklyn, NY 11211

And here's us at a baby shower with one of my good friends/brewing buddies:

Email me your measurements and I'll get a quote from them. Corn or wheat? What kind of beans would you like to be eaten with? Potatoes or rice? Cilantro, radishes, purple cabbage, corn, any other extras... and your choice of salsa. I'm starting to look forward to this.

Did you see the original cartoon?

Yup. My brother and I even have joint ownership of most of the original comic books. That's where I started learning how to draw! "You gotta know what a crumpet is, to understand cricket."

Sanctuary - Refuge Denied

Absolute classic, way to go.

That I am, sir! Very proud indeed. Here's "vowel practice" at the park:

Mixing sounds is great' date=' it can quite often yield unique and awesome music. If artists want to stick too closely to their labels and not venture outside of them, that's their choice, and a bit of an unfortunate one. Too often these adherents forget that when these sounds were forming, there weren't any boundaries, everything was still being explored. Why should it not be possible to be original and still fit within a certain genre? It's not possible that every aspect of that sound has been done, and [b']if the artist is honest in writing and delivery, that individual personality should show up to set them apart.

In bold, above, is the most important thing you can do as a musician. All the discussion about genres is fine if it helps people communicate. It's really a discussion about your influences and goals. Some of us draw our dividing lines in different places, but none of them really matter if you're writing from the heart or listening with an open mind. When discussions turn into pedantic arguments that upset Steve, then there's a bit of a problem.

Haha' date=' your welcome mate, you look so happy in that pic nice to see happy people for a change xD[/quote'] How could you not be happy with a little munchkin trying to rip your ear off?

I agree but only if I get to eat myself.

You, um, you need a really flexible spine for that, you know...

My new album, "Wrapped After Death", featuring BlutAusNerd on a tortilla, coming soon to a computer near you...

Thanks bro, he's super adorable... that's how he gets away with so much hellraising.

^^Original TMNT movie rules! Walked around with my kid, got some food, got a sunburn, had a couple of nice beers, now I'm home trying to relax. I want to play guitar more often but all in all I can't complain.

Banned for getting his ban completed a fraction of a second too late. Hah!

Banned for Steving.

There is a tortilla factory less than a mile from my apartment. I can check over there and see how big they can make them, if you're interested in being wrapped after death.

That's ok, I'm prepared for the potato apocalypse. I have chef knives and peanut oil. If they don't submit, I'll threaten them with being put inside of a burrito.

I think the problem is that it's turned into one more marketing tool. I can remember when heavy music was going through a phase where genre barriers were falling, and everybody had this ideal of just mixing shit up and seeing what happened. It gave us rap rock, but it also gave us some genre-bending classics like Faith No More, and I hear the same impulse in some of my other favorites like Akercocke and older Meshuggah. Now it's almost expected that you'll "stake your claim" and stay in your comfort zone, and bands get shit for stepping out of it. It seems like the point now is to pigeonhole yourself. It's not cool to me. Tempting to see analogies in pop culture and politics. Steve: like everyone else says, fuck this guy, and also, just get over it. You're a musician and a music lover, there are so many things that are more important.

I wasn't aware that there were forty kinds of potatoes in the world, let alone Bolivia!

It's crazy amounts of fun.

Thanks to all of you guys, we hope to find a drummer soon too!! it seems that those guys are really hard to find!! anyway, that will not stop us from recording some new material (since the invention of Cubase and Sonar XD)

Good move, don't quit! Good drummers are easier to find when you have a solid recording that shows what you're really all about.

Banned because none of the bass players in hell will follow you after the horrible things you've said... your enterprise is doomed without them.

I have no idea whether Ackercocke's third and fourth albums were negatively reviewed, but I really enjoy them: Choronzon and Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone. Akercocke fizzled out at the end, but those albums have some really great moments and a lot of solid tunes.

Banned for banning Steve after he had such a bad day. Have a heart.

Actually that doesn't sound so bad right now. Maybe I should watch it until my head explodes. It'll only take a few more times through.

I know I've mentioned my kid a few times... here's a typical situation for us!
