Exactly. I'm just doing my best to elevate this group to the absolute pinnacle of silence. Not existing is about the best way of doing that.

*stirs rather uncomfortably in his -like way*
Ah yes, non corporeal, non existential in a non being kinda way.
But will it sell? The Church is gonna point its naily finger and cry "Suicide cult!" if we're not careful. That'll help the CD sales of course but the concert circuit would be dead.
So just keep us all breathing til I figger a marketing angle on this absence of sound, sense and movement thingy.

Not death, sir, non-existance. We're showing our Beatle's influence here:
"Turn off your mind
Relax and float downstream
It is not dying"

"Bigger than Jesus" is copyright infringement.

Then we'll just have to use asterisks:
"B****r Than Jesus"
or we could exagerate it a bit to:
"Even more Biggerer than.."
Here's a sample from some proposed liner notes:
"What's even more bigger than mimes on Radio?
It's [The Banned]! They're even morer biggerer
than anything you've never heard before nor since.
Don't be fooled by cheap imitations, these persons
are the real McCoy, the honest goods. They got the moxy,
the chutzpah, the good vibe. When it comes to nothing
these guys make nothing really something. Some bands are
good for nothing, these guys am the best."

We could have a picture of a guy whose name is Jesus (pronounced "Hey-soos") on the cover. Then superimpose our images behind him, larger.

Great idea! I have always been the non-groupy type. I just tell them, "Sorry,I'm not a star f*cker!" It works everytime. Actually, I only told that to Richard Harris. And, I was fooled by Eddie VanHalen at Club Med in Paradise Island. I guess he was missing Valerie, anyway he told me he was a roadie, and it was a beautiful night on the beach. I didn't find out who he was until I returned to the US.I had been in Europe and never heard of VanHalen.I do have one regret, turning down Roger Hodgekins of Supertramp at the Coconut Grove Hotel in Miami. Does this qualify me as a non-groupie?
I would like to suggest that other such types apply here.
Then you could take your pick of who you want to turn down. That is what you had in mind, isn't it?

Chill guys. We've traced that post 449 from itsallhappening and it was definitely a reply to Post 20, so don't go getting excited. There is no immediate threat to the present peaceful non-excitement. Might forward it to David Lee Roth though. He could use a good larf.

Philosophy comes from two greek works
Philo, meaning thin pastry, and Sopha, meaning large chair.
Therefore Philosophy is the study of how to make large chairs from thin pastry.... Yes, that is a metaphor (except in the rare cases when it isn't).

I thought it was something to do with eating pastry while sitting on a couch.
