Magic is a nice, broad topic. For me, I will never forget the first time I saw Carlos Santana in concert. He was so good he didn't try to be a showman. He just put back his head and played...
I got a Black Magic Woman.
I got a Black Magic Woman.
Yes, I got a Black Magic Woman,
She's got me so blind I can't see;
But she's a Black Magic Woman and
she's trying to make a devil out of me. |

Well, there's one good thing about bife being on hiatus, and me not getting my vote in on time:
it keeps him from getting to the undisputed second place spot of most avatar wins (and I was going to give him a 1st place vote!) 
COME BACK BIFE (after I get past StaLean in the avatar winner's circle)! |

A lot of avs magically appears this week, but then voters did the old disappearing act...
In third place, with 6 points (3,3,3,-3)...
My bid to bring him back nearly succeeded, but his non-votership foiled me...
bife  !!
In second place, with 7 points (3,2,1,1)...
With a hoverKraft...
Cheese_Ed  !!
And in first place, with 8 points (3,2,2,1)...
By a hare...
BaftaBabe  !!!
I have to sleight of hand it to you for another big win, BB!
Wand to conjure up something new for us?

Presto-changeo, now he's me!
Hocus pocus, we take her to bed;
Magic is fun -- you're dead.
Scared the bejesus out of me. I still apologize to my younger brother (who was 5 at the time - I was 14) for taking him to see the movie and then, once when he was bugging me and hiding in the closet, quoting the above in character while leaning on the shut closet door, which sent him into a terrified frenzy.
Didn't I have any supervision back then????

Sorry to crash the party but I saw all your avatars and thought you may be interested by this reveiw.

No, I rarely send myself messages, so I must have missed that one
I can't wave my wand and fix that one but duh can! |

I recall an interview of Harry Blackstone Jr. many years ago. A member of the audience asked him if magic is ever real. He answered that the person was probably thinking of "miracles" rather than "magic." It was a very kind and gracious answer. |

Magic Carpet Rid(d)er?
MAGIC CARPET RIDE by Steppenwolf
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away |

I spend too much of my time being embarrassed by my compatriots, but I think there was something impressive about the way they reacted when David Blaine came to London and spent a long time in a glass box suspended above the River Thames. Far from being dazzled by the improbability of his achievement, a few irreverent and imaginative cynics began throwing burgers and chips at the doe-eyed, taciturn illusionist.
And now I look more carefully at the pic I can't help wondering: what is he up to?
Surely I didn't deliberately choose something vulgar? Moi? |
