i've noticed our lil' hideous lump has crept back on the boards after a slight absence and the title of this thread is to flush him out once again.

oh magnanimous lumpy one, would you ever consider pusblishing a list of your extremely righteous girl group collection in these here parts? i can't believe you don't have it listed in some format somewhere. if not, no big deal.

Oh, I most certainly do have it fully listed, not just by album but song by song (at least on the compilation albums)!! Unfortunately, that computer o' mine is currently in storage along with 90% of my record collection and nearly everything else I own.

I never did bother to post a thread about finally getting a job after becoming a miserable douchebag and leeching my parents' retirement savings for a year and a half. Suchlike thread would be a festival of self-loathing, followed by the unexpected fairy tale ending involving me finally buying CDs for the first time since 9/03.

Here's hoping that the next few months of regular paycheck-ery will lead to apartment hunting, apartment renting, and ultimately the emptying of said storage space so that I can get nude and luxuriate in my precious stuff again! My CDs! My books! My phrenology head! The Rubber Avenger!

I have said too much.

And it worked. Hey la, hey la!

ah, the noble art of phrenological divination! Good old Broca & all of his chums!

Lumpy!!!!!!!!! Welcome back, honey! You've been missed.

*throwing confetti in air*

Rip Torn, is that you?

Nah, I think it's Chewbacca's kid from the Christmas Special...

and, although I'm glad to have HLump back, I thought this thread would be about the zombie teen comedy from the early 90's of the same name...

Hey! I don't have a toupee'.

Don't you mean Rip TAYLOR, Andrew? Rip Torn is the character actor whose been in a kajillion movies and who introduced his cousin, Sissy Spacek, to show bidness. Rip Taylor is the flamboyantly mustachioed confetti thrower of whom you speak.

i've missed the Lump!

Caught me. Thanks.

As to the how of my mistake, I vacillated over who was who, but in the end, Rip TORN sounded so much a stage-name, I figured it could only be a male porn star (straight, or gay) or prop comic. And since I was trying to think of the name of a prop comic, I went with TORN, not Taylor.

Quoth Manute, 'My bad.'

NAZR MUHAMMAD!

Yet what is confetti but torn paper.

And Rip Torn was married to Geraldine Page.
