Extremely good point. What's the last story he actually posted in? The fight when Danny made the "coat was incredible" post?

The new Vanguard team will be a ska band traveling across the globe to play their punk/reggae beats to varied and multi-ethnic crowds. Along the way they will solve mysteries, capture monsters, and twart evil mad scientists. Danny and Pro will provide the pot smoking, constantly hungry and sleepy misfits of the group who also play the trumpet and trombone. Jackie will provide the token girl keyboardist for sex appeal and to fill in the damsel in distress mold. Grimm will provide the bass player who dresses like Glenn Danzig but listens to Christina Aguilera. Chewy will write the Zen Buhdist drummer who spouts off philosophical advise to the group but who keeps getting Buddah confused with Mr. Rogers. SPAMM and Mxy will do the guitarists who are twin brothers who go from fighting with each other over everything to being overly sentimental. Euro will write the band's aging roadie who recounts stories about touring with the Stones and Pink Floyd that are so mundane that the band constantly wonders if the rock lifestyle is really what they thought. Phil will write the band's mascot: a spider monkey with a habit of doing wacky stunts for no reason other than comic relief. I will, of course, provide the charismatic lead singer who keeps the group in line and always saves the day.

We all have lives. Some of us can micro-manage our time. Other cannot.

It really has nothing to do with whether we care alot about your writing, Philsy. It's about whether you care. If you don't want to write, don't write. This is about fun, and if it's not fun for you, then don't. However, don't expect us to carry Phil & Co. along in the stories for you. We can write him out, and, when you have the time and desire, you can write him back in at a later date. Simple as that.

I've been talking to Pro today, and he has come to realize that his idea to revamp the teams sucks ass. Majorly. At first, he didn't admit to it; but after several minutes of conversing and multiple blows to his head with a baseball bat, he's come to see it my way. So we're going to wipe the slate totally clean and start anew. Here's how it'll go down.

Let the new era of Vanguard begin!

So let it be written. So let it be done.

Best. Post. Ever.

You know, it doesn't matter how long I've been clean&sober, and I still get the pot-smoker label. My sobriety hates you all. Could be worse, though. I could be the keyboard player. Yikes! Didn't that die with the 80's?

And, dammit, I actually play the drums, and I get trumpet? Why don't we just do a Barber Shop Quartet, with a back-up Reggae group comprised of everyone else?

Wow, that makes me feel so much better.

You know, I can kind of play the guitar. I can read sheet music and sightread and play single notes and baselines and all that stuff, I just can't do chords (weak pinkie -- it's why I'll never play Carnigie Hall on the violin). Apparently, that's the complete opposite of everyone else's way of learning guitar. Figures.

And come on, Phil. I manage to balance a job, volunteer hours, schoolwork, social life, family, friends and dating while still managing to post. I know we females are multi-taskers, but I'm sure you can spend thirty minutes a day on a post! I miss your writing!
