I DARE you not to laugh.

Heh, "Concerto for Banjo and Two Chickens."  Priceless.

Though I have to admit the links to him doing dueling banjo's with a mac, and the Steve martin links distracted  me away.

I don't know which was better - that it was a '88-ish Mac Plus, or that it was wearing a foam-and-mesh trucker-type baseball cap.

And, re my opinion of Mr. Martin, I refer you to my avatar picture

The cap made it for me.

Ah yes you can really see it once the avatar is blown up to fill the screen.



(I've been thinking it was just a picture of you playing the banjo, doh)

Unless of course you are Steve Martin.

Don't ask...don't tell!

My favourite Muppets moment is still:

It just epitomises the magic of the muppets and how people just got co-opted into their lunacy.

"So, if you'll just take your seat, [shove] I'll introduce him..."

"No.. _Murray_ Beethoven.."

Oh, and that's got to be the first time "Don't ask, don't tell" has been applied to Martin-ness.  Interesting.  I know a lot of y'all appear to be Brits and stuff, but that phrase has picked up a bit of *ahem* subtext over on my side of the pond.

But, no, I am lamentably not Steve Martin.  Neither as funny, nor as good with a banjo.  I'd be fine with that if I were only as rich as he, but I'm not that, either.

I'm from Pennsylvania Banjo Dude, and know what it really means here in the USofA!
But after close to 20 years on internet discussion boards I find it is best not to ask if someone is "Someone". Mostly we all use anonymous nicks so nobody will know who we are. I for one do not want to know if the JellyBeanWarrior I am discussing quantum theory with is really Dr Fred Alan Wolf or not. It limits the imagination and the free flow of ideas.
If we knew you were The Steve Martin we would treat you different than we would treat the Banjo Dude. Which is the whole reason for well known people to hide behind anonymous nicks while on line.
But that is just like my opinion dude!

Have to say yet again the format of text let me down with the sarcasm when I asked:

I only use a nom-de-net because if you Google my real name there are an awful lot of impostors pretending to be me (IMHO), About 2,050,000 results (0.22 seconds), where as if you Google my nom-de-net (About 7,650 results (0.21 seconds) ) all the hits you get are actually me (unfortunately).

One of the problems of having a common Irish family name and a personal name from the bible.

Sorry to hear about that Simon.

You're tellin' me.  I have the EXACT same problem.  My last name is from Inishowen, and, well, let's just say I think I've got you beat on the first-name-commonality front.  Hands down

... And I live in fuckin' Boston.

Musha ring dumma do dumma da!
