The Baffled King

Minor Fall, the Major Lift

Baffled King

Curious George

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing Hallelujah

Spread the Lyn-Z Love!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Jezz is running a Lyn-Z lovebomb, in which anybody remotely cool is going to take a photo featuring a sign which declares that Lyn-Z is, in fact, even better than strawberries or good hair days. Pass on the word and join in the love with a sign and photo of your own, because Lyn-Z would totally do the same for you.

Claire: you got her to hold up a sign saying "mary is ace" you giant dorkhead.
Mary: Mary is GRATE, thank you very much. Which is now on my wall and says 'mary is grate URINE'.

Actually, speaking of pictures, here's one of me from Friday night. My current haircut is dark brown and cropped to ear-length on the left side, and chin-length with a streak of red on the right. Much like my tattoos, I feel this style advertises me as a much more interesting person than actual interaction provides.

ANYWAY, THE POINT OF THIS POST IS THAT LYN-Z IS NIFTY KEEN AND WE SHOULD ALL TELL HER SO, and that Jezz has awesomely grate ideas.

BASES: Neil Patrick Harris

As requested, 33 bases of Neil Patrick Harris. I think this dude resulted in one of the WEIRDEST google searches I've ever done in my life. I had no idea there were so many dozens of domain names dedicated entirely to shirtless celebrities. People need hobbies, but at least they make requests easier. >_> Still, wouldn't have expected Doogie to have so many ZOMGSHIRTLESSDROOL fanboys/girls.
