Re: The Big Introduction Topic
I'm confused. According to the rules:
"1. No pictures from weirdal.com or Al's Twitter are to be used for avatars, photo art or anything else unless you are the actual owner of the photo. This is non-negotiable. We can hardly call ourselves a fan board if we don't respect the wishes of Al or Bermuda with respect to copyrights and the webpage etc. Think we won't recognize if a picture is from The Mothership? Think again. Someone will, count on it. If you happen to find a picture that someone else has purloined from The Mothership, you still can't use it. Even if you didn't know that was the original source. "
So I can "steal" any image I want from anything I want as long as it's not weird al related, on a weird al message board? I saw a guy here with the 1st LP as his avatar. Isn't that considered "stealing"? I'm not trying to be difficult. English isn't my first language. These rules seem very confusing.

Re: The Big Introduction Topic
If the image is sourced from somewhere that isn't deliberately weirdal.com or the like, it's okay. My avatar is a picture I had taken last year after a concert.

accordion a lot, I love Weird Al... I love Weird Al. And I'm a good target for bullying in school. Hi! ![:D :D](./images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Re: The Big Introduction Topic
Hey folks! My name is AP, and I'm (obviously) a huge Weird Al fan like everyone else here.
This year, I've dedicated myself to digitally redrawing all 14 studio albums in my style with a new take on the topic. So yeah, essentially a parody of a parody. I plan to share a lot in the art section.
What else? Well, I somehow missed Al's music growing up (not sure how that happened since it's all right up my alley), but I became a fan as a grown up when Mandatory Fun was released. I'm making up for lots of lost time and went to four concerts on the most recent tour. I drew an Al mural on a six-foot dry erase board in my office. It's been there six months, but I get some pretty sweet double takes on visitors' walks to the bathroom.

Re: The Big Introduction Topic
You're never too old for Weird Al..
I've come for some poking about .. I've got a 1953 DeSoto that is in need of some TLC... have thought it would be fun to actually drive it to the twineball...
