Any Spike Jones fans here? - Page 3

Don't change just because of me. I was just curious. Personally I find bold text in large quantities harder to read (but then I also prefer white fonts on black backgrounds).

No, no BDBopper ... no need to mask your style. Bold is in no way frowned upon.

Avoiding constant posting in ALL CAPS is, as far as I know, the only netiquette widely practiced on message boards. Here on the LoT, we value free expression ... so if someone wants to shout once in a while, they are free to express themselves loudly.

We are also free to express ourselves Boldly if we're feeling bold.

Well, I think it is very helpful to BD if he posts in bold since, as he posted in his intro thread, he's legally blind. So, whatever works is fine. We old people can relate in a way....right?

blueerica · 04-10-2007, 09:56 PM

Ahh, I didn't even realize he was legally blind after he posted about it being easier to see afterward.

At any rate, didn't bother me a bit. Bold Away!

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it!

Any actor will tell you that comedy is harder than drama. Comedy is always best when done straight. What I've always loved about Spike Jones is that while the arrangements were funny and the performances were funny the Musicianshipwas straightforward and incredible.

First and formost this was an incredible band! What Spike and his arrangers did was unique and original and has never been duplicated, although it paved the way for Weird Al.

see you at the zoo

We had the Britney doll too. Madz is currently embarassed about the whole thing.

Oh BDBopper, I'm so sorry you weren't here during our inaugural months ... when most of us posted strictly in hip cat / beatnik lingo.

That was so much fun (if exhausting). Maybe we should renew the practice for a week surrounding LoTverssary each January!

The occasional bouts of curmudgeonspeak are pretty fun, too
