Thank you - P.Nod, AKA and Fade2black. Appreciate it. I'll be spending the rest of my birthdays at home, on the couch, with a helmet on.

Fade2black - quote is from a song by Smog called "Ex-con", from album called Red Apple Falls released in 1997 I think. The song has plenty of other great lines....'...alone in my room, I feel such a part/a part of the community, but out on the streets, I feel like a robot by the river'...also 'Jean jacket and tie, Feel like such a lie, When i go to your house, I feel like i'm Casing the joint, In the grocery store, In line behind a mother and a child, I'm going to take that child, take that child
I'm going to take that child'.

what would happen if we all changed our avatar's, swapped them over or someone else started using faust's, the spanner thing is it just cause hes the moderator or a different reason, would the sz sky fall in... i know it wont happen just a thought though

I heart my avatar. I've had it for about 4 years now. Haven't changed it once. The only competition I have in my mind is the Little Prince drawing. I had that for a while on tFS.

great album--was a highlight of the college years

I was a stranger
When i came to town
Just yesterday
I was a stranger
They dont come much stranger

So why
Why did you believe
All every word I said
Why did you believe
Believe a stranger
A stranger

And why do you
women in this town
Let me look at you so bold
When you have seen what i was
In the last town
In the last town
You should have
seen what i was
If i was a stranger
I was worse than a stranger
I was well-known

“The final straw was Jagger’s unscheduled wake-up call to Watts during a band meeting in Amsterdam in October 1984. Richards and Jagger had gone out boozing, returning to Richard’s room at five in the morning. Watts was fast asleep. Nevertheless, Jagger dialed his room, bawling “Is that my drummer? Why don’t you get your arse down here?”

Watts reportedly got up, shaved, got dressed in a custom-made Savile Row suit, put on a crisply knotted tie and freshly shined shoes, came downstairs, and-in Richards’ words-“dished him out a great fucking right hook.” Jagger was knocked into a plate of smoked salmon, and Richards had to grab his leg to prevent him from sliding along the table, out the open window and into a canal 20 stories below. “Don’t ever call me ‘your drummer’ again,” Watts told Jagger. “You’re my fucking singer."

Classic story

The whole getting dressed in Savile Row proper fit, shaving routine just to go down and land a punch seems something very "Charlie" even though I don't know the dude, always struck me as having a nice sense of humor.

Last night driving on highway with wife, roads looked good but apparently black ice on the ground, day before my birthday, SUV in front started swerving and did a 360 at 70mph, then bumped and threw us into the ditch on the side of the road where another car hit us full speed 10minutes later. We escaped relatively ok (and so already back on SZ). Car totalled, all glass smashed, airbags out. To add to the drama, wife had just put on the song "shes lost control" by joy division about 3 minutes before it all began. Someone further up the road died after stopping to see if he could help out. Surviving a car accident, spending a day in the hospital on a birthday, is a good way to hammer home your own mortality.

damn dude.. just saw this now.

glad to hear you're ok.. reminds me of when i got into my accident in late december. I was driving on the freeways here in LA on the left most lane.. and I guess there was a huge pothole filled with water so I couldn't see it.. my car hit the pothole, lost stability, hit the center divider on the freeway with the front then the back of my car.. then spun across 3 lanes of traffic! somehow i didn't hit a single person..and i escaped with just minor scratches! unfortunately, my 335i is totalled..

Thanks. I wonder if you had PTSD afterwards? I'm not sure what it will feel like to get back on the highway but can't imagine doing it right now. too many variables...
