you reminded me of one of my faves...

feets

I guess I framed this wrong but it was before 9 am and I hadn't had coffee yet, so my brain is always kind of upside down and backwards at that time of the day.  I was all ready to turn around & take it from the other direction, but then I decided this was right.  And to think I drive in this condition.  Anyway...this is a bit of a copycat of Michellemybelle's pic the other day.  But I couldn't resist this, as it was on the walk up to my office door.

If you could recommend your top 5 favorite Voxers for someone new to Vox to read, who would they be?

Lili, O Lili, I heard about pictures of you...

are you trying to start trouble?  I didn't think so.

anyway...gosh, I have so many favorites on here.  I hope no feelings are hurt today here on Vox. :(

In no particular order here...so I will bullet them instead of number them...

• CupCate is always hilarious, insightful and wise beyond her years.  Always a "favorite" in the making.  One day we'll say "I knew her when..."
• Redzilla is one smart, opinionated, funny, most excellent writer.  I like that in a person.  Even if you don't agree with her, if she doesn't make you think a little, maybe you've got nothing upstairs in the first place.  Don't make her destroy your Tokyo.
• Crixpy always makes me laugh.  Her writing is hilarious and dare I use the word "quirky"?  I love her drawings and her taste in ...well...pretty much everything...and her unusual poetry has led to musical collaborations with..
• John Wesley "Red Jet" etc., etc. who always knocks it out of the park when creating a tune for Crixpy's lyrics.  Move aside Lennon & McCartney, please make room for Third Chair Skin Flute.  Also, he makes some pretty funny videos, and in general keeps me snickering.

and last, but not least...

• [your name here]

Hhahahaha!  Cop out!

2007_0127 daffodils wtf

Something tells me these puppies ain't gonna make it to full bloom.

Adrien Brody at his finest, forget The Pianist:

I'm so glad that this was the only scene that came up on YouTube cuz it was the one I was looking for.  I love how they have the same sticky-uppy hair.  OMG, this is one of those hilarious-yet-slightly-disturbing type of films I love.  Starring Adrien Brody, Ileana Douglas and Milla Jovovich as the wonderful Fangora, who is in a klezmer/punk band.  lmao.

I thought this was faked at first, but no....these ratties --they really are mice according to their surf instructor on YT--- are really hanging...20?  OMG this tewtally rocks.

Thanks Roisin for reminding me--

Here's what the makers of the video have to say:

You will not believe your eyes !!!
Hello we are the Radical Rodents, the coolest and hippest mice in the world. We are all mad keen surfers and as far as we know are the only rodents in the world that surf, which would make us the world's smallest surfers. Our names are Chopsticks, Bunsen, Harry & Curly and we have been surfing for over 3 years. We love living here up in sunny Queensland because we get to surf most of the year as the water is warm and the weather is mild. Also there are lots of stinking rich folk with massive boats that deliver the waves which we long to ride. We mainly surf in rivers and estuarys as we are only very tiny, but as you will see we get some very nice waves indeed and on the weekends when the boats are out it is very consistent. To all you brave mice out there at home who think this sounds like a groovy idea, please do not try this. We are trained proffessionals and have endured a lengthy process learning how to swim and how to balance on a board. All the team is in our last season of surfing as we are all getting old and as mice we live for approx 3-4 years. We have already started showing some of our offspring the ropes and Bunsen's son Junior has already caught a few and will be joining the team soon. The new generation are as keen as mustard and we all look forward to seeing them take over the reins so we can retire. We are currently putting together our website www.radicalrodents.com, so it should be up and running in a couple of months. Here you will be able to keep up to date with all our sessions, buy merchandise and we will also be selling our old boards too all signed up. Also we are going to be bring out our own surf film and doco in 2007, as we have been filming our antics for the past couple of years. We will be looking for sponsers for both ourselves and for our first film. Anyway sit back and enjoy the clip, i think you will be pleasently suprised at our talent, you will be sure to get the giggles too. Look forward to all your responses, Keep surfing always
Love The Radical Rodents

(They still look like rats to me!!! maybe Aussie meeces are just bigger) 

well, you don't have to, but you should.

The Gun Club--Miami.  Excellent.

I had no idea The Thin White Duke was so desperate in 1975 as to....

and yes, that is Cher, not Roseanne Rosannadanna.

want more?  i thought so.

well, the description of ^^ this one on YouTube says it was during David Bowie's "infamous tour of US TV shows"...and I do remember him performing on Merv Griffin...though it may have been later because he was in a dress & I think it was from Lodger....

Audio: Show us cover art or share a track from the first band or solo artist you flipped for.

Okay that is not the actual one but I remember one day in the 70s my dad brought us home a Monkees record (why?  I have no clue) and it was the greatest.  I was probably in 2nd or 3rd grade.  I still love it.  We used to watch the reruns of the tv show after school, I guess that's why he bought it for us.
