ETA: if this is the case, it would be attributable to the aging of the populace, and the fact that people who were born in the 70s are now skewing into the KFOG demographic. The general KFOG playlist seems to be containing far more 80s-vintage songs than it did even five years ago.


methinks that is a dead-on analysis, sir.

It's a Starship fix for our pal Gaz--took me a minute or two to realize who this was. (Although I'm sure all of us would rather be hearing Miracles again.)

Spotting the vinyl on the Starship.  Sounds really crackly and a little warped to my ears.

P.S.  Produced by the real Narada.

I don't know how much or even if Gaz will object, but in my book "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" is perhaps the worst song ever nominated for an Oscar.  It might come from the worst movie ever to produce a nominated song.

Oh, I dunno -- that "hymn" to Satan from The Omen is pretty damned awful.  Not to mention "You Light Up My Life". I'll get out my Oscar book tonite and compile a list.

I sure wish that our avatars weren't interactively updated.  It would be cool to look back on this page someday & see all the santa hats.


Agreed, but logistically it would be kind of a pain (wouldn't it?) to maintain server copies of all the past avatars over time.

I can think of several ways to accomplish it, but it hardly seems worth the effort.  And eventually you'd run into space/clutter issues.

I think server space is probably the main issue. Even at 78KB max per avatar, when you think about the number of different ones we've seen just in the past 11 months (yes, we've been using this app for only 11 months--a year ago we were still on discserver--it seems like ages, don't it?), it would add up to a decent amount of space.

Well, everyone can email their avatars, and I'll upload and post from the 10at10club directory if you like.  Is POC Santa-compliant yet?

I gotta start using that on my kids:

"Adrian! Gabriel!  CUT THAT OUT!!!  That is NOT Santa-compliant!!!"

but I didn't mean to actually challenge you to keep the avatars up, I was just being wistful.

Let's just assemble them for a sort of 10at10club holiday card!

I thought I recognized that hat--looks just like the one Mike and I were/are sporting. Thanks, Gaz for getting the whole club in Santa compliance!

Now, I just want to know, are we all now participants in the War against Christmas?  I mean, should we replace the Santa hats with Crowns of Thorns, or what?  Don't want the fundies raiding the joint, ya know?
