Put a Name on IT!

You'd better give me a definite "No" if you don't want anything.

And I hadn't thought about messing with the avatar.  I was just going to replace some wording in his profile.

But I could. 

[BlobVanDam]

"No"

I'm not feeling that brave today, hef.

[hefdaddy42]

OK, I'll do it later.

[King Postwhore]

Blob, have you ever watched Re-Animator before?

Can you change my avatar to Tim Allen?

[King Postwhore]

Can't you do that yourself?

[hefdaddy42]

Can't you do that yourself?

Yes, he can.

[chaossystem]

Please tell me how.

It's one of the one that was available on here when I was creating my profile. But the selection is somewhat limited.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. I don't think there even are any preset avatars. You always upload your own.

Or maybe I'm mistaken about this?

edit: Huh, there are. Who knew.

The gallery doesn't include Tim Allen.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Yeah, there are a couple options there. Select the one the says "upload an avatar from your computer".

It looks like "if it's not in my personal files, then I can't do it."

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Well, yeah. Here's how it works:

Find picture on internet
Save to computer
Upload as avatar

I spent way too much time watching that.

[Kotowboy]

looks like this forum has a new Kotowboy.

Dude, you're a riot.

[chaossystem]

Well, I'm glad I'm keeping you entertained.

[mike099]

How about Vanilla Pudding.  Fairly safe cd.  Next cd  Chocolate Cake

[wolfking]

Well, I'm glad I'm keeping you entertained.

Tim Allen's pretty cool though.

Never give up, never surrender!

I don't think I could have gotten better results if I had just said "Let's do a COMEDY thread!"

[Zook]

This wasn't a comedy thread?

[chaossystem]

It is now!

[Dublagent66]

Since we're just having fun.  Call it "Drive In"   

[chaossystem]

If you all don't mind, I would like (at least temporarily!) to get back on-topic.

One of the things I've noticed is that there seems to be an over-riding "theme" running throughout the album regarding light and darkness, hidden light, needing to light up the darkness (or have it "illuminated"), or needing to be "shown the light," among others.

Now I suppose if you look close enough you could find (or imagine) a central theme running through ALL of their albums, or ANY album by ANY band or artist.

Even so, my idea this time is to take lyrics from one of the songs to give the album it's title, in much the same way that Pink Floyd did with "Dark Side" (Brain Damage) or Rainbow did with "Rising" (Stargazer).

There are several possibilities, sometimes more than one in a song-

The looking glass:
"Watching Through the Looking Glass"
"Bathing in the Spotlight"

The Bigger Picture:
"See the Painting Come Alive"
"The Candle Lights This Crooked Path"
"You look but Cannot See"

Behind the Veil:
"Look Behind the Veil"
"The Stranger Hiding in Plain Sight"
This one isn't a part of the theme, but I still think it would be a good title:
"Bent Not Broken"

Surrender to Reason:
"Slowly Shedding Light"

Along for the Ride:
"Vision's Unclear: Blind to the Truth"
"Embracing the Light"
This one I think fits well with the picture on the cover:
"Clarity on the Horizon"

There's A LOT of them in Illumination Theory:
"Examine Your Own Reflection"
"We Seek to Understand"
"A Shadow Fleeting"
"Surrender to the Light"
"Face the Darkest Days"
"Struggle Through the Dark"

I'd be down if DT had gone that route. That's what they did with I&W and I think the subtly of the lyric in WFS works wonderfully. It's clearly noticeable but not shoe-horned or anything. Had they done the same thing with DT12, I would have taken it has quite clever and nice.

[hefdaddy42]

They did that on their first 3 albums.

[Mosh]

So?
