TAKE OFF YOUR SOCKS LEST THEY BE KNOCKED

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated . . .

Posted about 1 year ago

Due to my misunderstanding of the current rules of MOG wars, I have posted my death a bit too early, it seems. Shame, too, since I thought the viking thing was a bit clever.

anyway, just a quick note to all listening to say The Killer Lives, and some unsuspecting MOGger better watch it!

To celebrate, I have chosen this rather appropriate song from legendary prog band Van Der Graaf Generator. This band really deserves its own post, and I might give it one later. They were so unique--no guitar at all (which in the 1970s was almost unheard of, and still is very unusual today). They still managed to be one of the most abrasive acts out there, due in part to the kayboard sounds, but more to the over-driven angst of the singer, Peter Hammil.

This is a live video of one of my favorite songs by them, Killer. Check out the saxophone player playing to saxes at the same time.

    So rumors of your demise abound?  What a true agent you be, your next target won't know what to expect.

    Agent Groon?  I thought he was dead...(click)...

    well, tyler, it's all part of my plan to create a shroud of mystery and what not, in order to facilitate this here killing spree.

    Cody: g'day to you as well! (or is "huzzah" more in character?) Glad to see you hanging around these parts again lately.

    though faking your death was a clever ploy, the skilled operatives have not been swayed. enjoy each breath as if it were your last.
    And ya can't beat Mr Hammil's presentation. Nice post G

    I won't say "cheat" so much as "outwitted!"

    Using the words 'outwitted' and 'Groon' in the same sentence ......

    I guess there a first for everything.
