Through telepathy or... ;^) See, Alloy secretly rules the flat Earth. We didn't like "The Sick Individual" name, so Thomas promptly changed it. Hee hee! ;^) We RULE!!! And hey, I just wanted to say, good for all of you who've been Alloyites throughout that long, dry, new-TMDR-music-less time. You know Thomas appreciates having loyal fans like you--have you seen his recent blog entry titled 'Insanity', in which he exclaims lovingly, "And my lovely audience who have waited so long for me to come back to music. Thank you all!" :^D He's nothin' without ya! :^)You're a great bunch--you even accepted nutzo little me! ;^) Love and rain which has finally come to the Alloy desert, and little flowers bloomin', and little frogs in the puddles, and... Kooky Kara! :^) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2006 1:01:06 -0600 From: "Kara R.

There was this whole negative sentiment about "Sick Individual" being just sorta creepy. Put me personally in mind of some twisted trenchcoat-wearing mad scientist sneaking up behind a person while the steel surgical instrument in his hand gleams in the moonlight. Then I think it was Robin Hazen who replied something like, "What's wrong with that?" Hee hee hee! :P "Sole Inhabitant" is much, much better! I still wonder whether you did influence him, Keith. I definitely think you did! :^) You guys remember that EZBoard forum? Yucko! Was that the one where that "Camel 56" person kept calling Thomas a 'plodder'? I never knew what that was supposed to mean. Assumed it was an insult. English slang, perhaps? I dunno, I'm Canadian. ;^) Love and autographed CDs, Kara > > On Nov 22, 2006, at 10:05 AM, Keith Stansell wrote: > > > > > Well - way back in Alloy history, I did sign off as "The Sole > > Inhabitant" > > when I was the only Alloy member living in Salt Lake City. > > > > Then I moved to Denver, where Dennis, Eric and later Beth also > > lived, so I > > became "No Longer the Sole Inhabitant".
