      I’m going to make my “socially inept hygiene problem” status even worse, but I always got cracked up by Al Gore’s “Vote for me; I invented the internet” campaign. I used to clunk my way through JANET (the joint academic network) on greenscreens and 32k stations while the US military played tic-tac-toe between ICBM sites. All this time, Gore was still working out how to kiss his wife and breathe at the same time. He thinks the wubwubwub and the internet are the same thing.

      Yeah, hopefully this ‘internet’ thing will take off and there will be other sites as well as Guitarsite.

      I tried to copyright the internet just now but my application was rejected on the basis that Al Gore already owned it… I’ll try copyrighting Global Warming next…

      I get it. The guy in the background is playing air guitar.

      Is that the connection?

      Well I’ll be darned, nice work 1b. I have to admit, I do like the photograph.

      Had a little search, and noticed you were just a little late to buy the original. Seems like you’re not the only one keen on it 😯

      Mike, the next thing I know, you’ll be saying that Verdi’s overture to William Tell is “The Lone Ranger tune” 😆

      Natasha, at the risk of looking like an arty nerd bore, I recognize the photo:

      Robert Doisneau
      Kiss by the Hotel de Ville
      1950

      Prints are available (maybe Athena?) and a search should turn up one for sale. I don’t recommend G-site’s “For sale, wanted to buy” section, though 🙂

      It’s a Phil Collins album cover, Tash.
