I'm finding swiss cheese more exciting than wading through all this drivel. Not, to uh, burst anyone's hopeful bubble, but.. >> I E-mailed John Flansburgh (Or the person who claimed to be him) and asked him to sign my guestbook, HE DID!!! Check it out, this further proves it's him, but we can never know if its him or not << Dude, it's not him, let it go. If that's Flans, I'm Mrs. Linnell. I'm married to John! I have a ring! That proves it! You wouldn't believe how many people have asked me if I'm one of the Kids in the Hall because of my screen name (despite my AOL profile)... A few times I've been so bored I've played along. It's terribly pathetic - people will believe anything. I've even got an email from someone who was in awe because they thought I was Linnell's daughter (linnellgirl@tmbg.org)...hello?! Sheesh! In my early days online, I actually had a correspondance going between a counterfeit fake (posing to be Mark McKinney), and upon finding out the real identity, it was horribly embarassing. If you know TMBG, you know they like to keep a bit of a distance with their fans, so even if Flans had *time* to be on IRC, I'm sure he wouldn't have used his name. Even if he did I'm sure he would have spelled it right. I see 'Linnell' has signed your guestbook now. I could have written the same thing! You really cannot honestly believe everything you read. And on the web, you can't believe *most* of what you read. >TMBG: Thank You In Advance! ::shakes head:: Are you new on the web? Chain letters are PHONY... I even believe my horoscope but chain letters are just the stupidest superstition. Do you really believe 'magical' scrolling words can bring you good luck? All it does is annoy people.

People just don't give up, do they? ::sigh:: you know I bet this would make John and John more frightened of us than they already are more than anything. Or maybe just give them a good laugh. While I can almost picture Flans saying this (more so than the other supposed Flans stuff), it's another obvious fraud, everyone.

It's on the album "Come Out, Come Out" which is available as a three 7" set (what I have) or on cd (I think it has extra tracks). It's on Mint Records, their local indie out of Canada, distributed here in the states widely by K Records. Sadly, Cub broke up last year, but at least I got to see them open for TMBG.

This is the CD with the Johns performing Particle Man. Anyway, I think it's a great version of the song and a great CD altogether... Definitely go out and buy this album... Here's a list of the songs: 1. Supersonic - Oasis 2. Honey White - Morphine 3. Kimberly Austin - Porno for Pyros 4. It's About Time - Evan Dando 5. C'mon Billy - PJ Harvey 6. Undone ( the sweater song) - Weezer 7. Kiss Off - Violent Femmes 8. Particle Man - They Might Be Giants 9. Pretty Vacant - Sex Pistols 10. American Jesus - Bad Religion 11. Crazy Mary - Victoria Williams with Lou Reed 12. Aeroplane - Bjork 13. Villians - The Verve Pipe 14. Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead It has a bunch of great songs and I learned an interesting fact in the liner notes... It states that TMBG have performed on 120 minutes 6 times, which is more than any other act... thought that was kinda cool... that's all... v^v Jeffro v^v "If you ever get close to a human, a human being, you'd better be ready to get confused..." - Bjork "I'm having a BIG HEAD day!" - Space Ghost _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I ordered my stuff the 1st week of Jan and don't expect my order anytime soon, but I did do something different... I ordered CDs from an online store and I noticed that if you send them a check your order will be sent in about a week... whereas if you send a money order, your CDs will be at your house 2-3 days after they get the MO... so when I ordered from the info club, I sent a MO thinking it might get here quicker... anyone else try this before? Re: GOD This is the funniest post I have ever seen on this list! (although I wasn't around for the top ten lists.. but I cought the tail end of Flesh Fest! (no pun intended)) I had to laugh when I first read it.... About all this John stuff... ok.. I admit the list is the busiest it has been in a while... I just sifted through 92 e-mails about the Fake Johns and bootlegs and Gary Old-man (I can never resist)... The God thing was the best... kudos to "Tony" and his "CD-Burning enterprise" Tim, also ordered Monkey Island II last week of Dec... expecting any time now...
