Not only do I know the Guitarzan song, but my mother and grandmother have sung it and played it on the guitar, in public, with me in the audience. Ahh, memories..... :P
The mouse tattoo is hilarious. If it wasn't in such a personal place, I'd ask to see a picture! And now I have to know the story behind it.
Hey, hp_knitting Mod! Sorry to contact you via your LJ, but you didn't give an email address for more direct contact on the community page.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, there's some real life drama that I thought you might want to address on the community before it becomes a big deal. Apparently the designer of the Bellatrix, Nagini, and Fawkes socks... faked her own death. No, really. Worse, "somebody" "posthumously" set something up on her Ravelry or personal page or something like that to make donations to the Lupus society, and instead all of the money went straight to her.
It only lightly impacts this community because of the three patterns listed above, but it might be worth doing something like what's on Sock Knitters Anonymous, just to keep the drama out of the community and to discourage members from giving their money to such a crook.
OMG!!! No freaking way!! Okay, wow, thanks for letting me know....I have apparently been out of touch, I knew about her 'death' but nothing 'new'....where is all of this. Contacting me here is totally fine... I thought there was a link on the community page but who knows now.... I have the community set up on my google reader so I do see what people are posting, I've never been a mod who's all about a power trip.
I'm sure you've 'seen' me say this before but you're my favorite member :) Thanks so much for letting me know.
I've got a friend on Lazy, Stupid, and Godless who's been keeping everybody abreast of the situation. http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/lazy-stupid-and-godless/503241/1-25 has the main gist of what's going on if you feel like going through 120 pages of blather. I'll let you know more when I know more. :)
