I am considering writing a book about memorable kooks on the internet. I have several to start with. 1. Ponchy These are pretty good, but there are not enough to make a book. I am hoping that some of you can suggest some memorable kooks who should be included in the book. If you have a suggestion, please enter their name and where they post on the thread below. I will go study them and see if they belong in the book. Thank you.

Well, there is ToddBrendanFahey who is somewhat of an internet legend, christine and Zip are quite familiar with him, he is somewhat of a character. Then there is BYeltsin who enjoys pretending to play the role of a word-salad type schizophrenic, though he is quite capable of being coherent when he wants to be. He's like Dakmar taken to excess. Also there is Aaron from LP, he regularly calls for the posters at this forum to be sent to Gitmo, and from what I hear he regularly ties up the phone lines at Homeland Security in his attemps to turn us all in for saying things he does not like. He likes to claim that there is no more free speech, and enjoys attempting to turn in those he believes are making violations of his no free speech law. If this country ever gets to the point of martial law, many of us will get to experience real life encounters with Aaron from LP types, they are seen in all forms of dictatorships. They believe that by turning in others they will remain safe, they display the most remarkable form of cowardice. Tragically (or not), such types almost always end up being imprisoned in the end along with those they have turned in. Of course they never understand why such a thing could have happened to them.
What about those guys who waste valuable bandwidth posting stupid stuff like pix of their favorite guitar? Speaking of which, have you ever seen mine?
Sweet. This is what I play... That's a ten string extended scale graphite Chapman Stick with the PASV-4 Villex pickup, and is identical to the one I play. That's a pic of Emmet Chapman playing his.
A great marriage of guitar and piano. Seems the sounds are limited to jazz sounding music though.
I'd be willing to bet that it's just a matter of time before we see that the instrument is only limited by the talent and imagination of the artist. In no time at all there will be folks making sounds like the club band in the 1st installment of STAR WARS. Naturally the first instinct is to extract those beautiful jazz and classical sounds from the instrument, but wait until Buckethead tries one.
OMG - would you believe I actually saw Buckethead play live with "The Deli Creeps" way back at the very beginning of his career? Was playing at the Cactus Club in downtown San Jose, and he was THE star of the band, no question. This was way back in the early 90's, and boy did he make an impression on me! That guy is HUGE! And watching him play... wow... Now, as far as him playing Stick, I have no idea. The Stick is a kind of a strange instrument, I had to put down my guitar and focus on it for a couple of years just to get to where I could play it at all, and even now I'm not really all that good, but I love the instrument and enjoy playing it. If you REALLY want to see a master on the Stick check out Bob Culbertson. He's amazing.
Thanks, will do.
