The Great Andy Bates

This will only make sense to you if you were at the San Francisco show (or if you have a time machine and have already watched the DVD).

Curses!!
I have a time machine. Unfortunately it’s one of those time machines that can’t take you back before it was created or after it was destroyed (next Sunday night–Dr. Pepper in the tachyon manifold).

For those of you who are wondering, that is a tattoo of a stained-glass window, depicting a samurai killing a unicorn. Possibly the greatest tattoo I have ever seen!
And see? No bow tie. Take that Leo!

He has a “Go ahead and tease me; I’m having the best day of my life!” look on his face.

I’d be jealous, except I don’t think I could have beatboxed the keyboard solo nearly as well.

I get the feeling he’d been rehearsing it.

Us people that read the forums know about him too you know!
Andy Bates has become a ‘famous’ name this week because he encapulates what is great about being a JoCo fan.
He got his ticket from posting on the forums before hand, and getting one someone no longer needed, met up with numerous other forum people going alone, they had a great time together, and then JoCo makes his night be inviting him on stage to assist. I understand he was good, but I have to wait to see it when the DVD comes out.

We loyal TWiT listeners know, too! Where’s the bowtie, Andy?

“Please let the rest of us know how Andy Bates has changed your life for the better.”
Well… I know he’s too humble to take credit for it. But, folks ’round here know Andy Bates has kept us free from alien abduction for nearly 10 years!

Andy Bates saved my bacon!
Last year on this one trip to the store I bought too many groceries: there was no room in my freezer or fridge for my spendthrifty purchases, and so Andy gave an extraneous package of bacon a much-needed home. When I went to retrieve my Andy-saved bacon, I was relieved and astonished to find out that not only had Andy saved my bacon, he had given it a name: “Sleeces!” (including the exclamation point). I, of course, was not one to break up such a happy home as was evidenced by the companionship that Sleeces! and Andy had built, and so I followed the old adage “if you love something set it free, if someone else loves something they can fry it up and enjoy it on toast with fresh garden vegetables.” Humble appreciation to Andy and to the late great Sleeces! for their brief but fulfilling enrichment of my life.
Honest!

Too bad he has never cried.

Now, if he had suited up, Andy Bates might be the 8th wonder of the world.
(BTW: Did you add me on Xbox Live yet, Andy?)
