My own homage to the d30:

@Zach – Thank you
@MZR – Ummmm shoulda put an NSFW on that link buddy. PIT #3 was reading over my shoulder when I read it. Now I’m explaining what and why to a ten-year old Thanks 8)
Shouldn’t a 10 year old know what a testicle is? But seriously, sorry about that.
–Ryan
Well yes, we’ve had THAT talk but trying to explain why someone would call a pair of D30s testicles was a little awkward. 8)
Ha cute. Now… how did you find out the Toe Knee handle? Obviously some remnants have survived the purges.
I like!
@Helmsman – Might have been a post over @ Unclebear.com that I caught.
@Greywulf – Thought you would.
I joined the order, but I have yet to use my d30 to any great extent or post about it yet…
Dr. Checkmate and his Evil Minions are a neo-swing or swing revival band that list Alice Cooper as well as the Meteors among their influences. Their minor key, blues influenced renditions of Little Red Riding Hood and Mr. Sandman are not to be missed.

That Pingback is all your fault, man. Now. Imagine the band as an evil mad scientist lead counterpart to Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
No kidding. That’s what being me is like.

@MacG – What can I say? My new toy inspired me.
@Dr. C – *shakes head* What have I started?
I’ve given way too much thought to what I would perform if I had both musical talent and a band. Way too much. You just gave me a reason to share.
