Re: DBT and "Yo Gabba Gabba! Live!"

I personally have not sat down and really watched it much but one of the times I did, I saw Jack Black dancing with the large, phallic shapped, one eyed monster. Something seems a little odd about that.. .. What is odd about that ...

Re: Origin of The Cooley Bird

Excellent post Mark Lynn. Thanks - thats exactly what I wanted to know about it...not exact meanings and such...just a little on how it came to be. I love the fact that the meaning of its presence is open for interpretation. Art/Beauty being in the eye of the beholder and all...

Hey y'all, I am pretty new to the 3DD site and was never very involved in 9B so I don't know if this subject has been covered ad nauseum or not but I am curious what anyone knows about the origins, myths, legends, evolutionary history, etc... for the famous Cooley Bird. Is it an idea born from the ...

Re: The Epitome of DBT

BTW - It just occured to me that we are on the #DD forum and not one person has even mentioned this as "the" song. Seems like if its the name of the Fan Club it should at least be tossed out there. :P
