This looks like the MTV Top 20 countdowns I used to watch when I was in high school. I wouldn't mind seeing Round and Round on one of our 10@10's (he writes, living up to the second half of his signature line).

Yah, RGM, metaphorically speaking 
Tinka Cat, my brother used to consume large spoonfuls of mayonnaise and margarine out of the jar while watching morning cartoons. That partially explains the mayonnaise aversion (not sure why I wasn't turned off to butter and butter-like spreads).

ggould: Your axe looks way out of my price range!
sundaygal, RGMike: I've got too much brutha in me, as you clearly recognize with your Kool Moe Dee quote (see Eddie Griffin's Undercover Brother; actually, don't, it was terrible)

Hello 10at10 Club,
My name's Josh (Henig), I'm a Virgo, and I hate mayonnaise.
I was a wallflower on the Annalisa page for most of my tenure there until Kool & the Gang yelled at me this past summer, "Get your back up off the wall!" So I did and am now a frequent -- sometimes manic -- poster. That pattern may be repeated here, at least the wallflower at the beginning phase.
My musical background started with me playing piano and clarinet in grade school and accelerated when I became a dj and guitar player in college. From almost the first moment I picked up my guitar and played, I wanted to be in a rock band and take over the world. Shockingly enough, that did not happen. Sadly, the callouses disappeared from my fingers long ago, although I have an unused pool of funds collected from a past birthday with which I am supposed to buy a Telecaster.
I have been perceived as an "Indie Rock Snob" and called "The Emperor of Cheesy Music." To celebrate the yin and yang of my musical taste, I have chosen the cover of the Feelies' seminal nerd rock album, Crazy Rhythms, as my avatar, and the end of this quote from Poison's hair metal anthem, "Nothin' but a Good Time," as my username:
You see I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs every day
If wantin' the good life is such a crime
Lord, then put me away
Here's to ya
