bahduh - LOL. You have to wait a few minutes so my email can travel halfway around the world. ;-)

Yes, I liked the song a lot. It sounds so different from anything else I've ever heard from Dream Theater...very cool.

Mr Nick, you live 45 minutes away from Donnington? nice! Do you ever go check out any of the races there? don't tell me it's not your kind of thing.....I'd love to live that close to a decent circuit! hehe

I was a little disappointed at how little time you get to spend on earth, but the final missions are good. The special features are okay, tho it would have been nice to have just a little bit about Vai in there, like, why did they choose him for the guitar part?!

I'm very pleased to see that parliamant bit back. Fox hunting should have been banned along with public Hanging and drowning the witch, but it's been kept going just cause a few toffs (rich, upper class posh people) like to do it cause it's a jolly good sport.

fucking twats. I despise fox hunting. It's barbaric and pointless. I can understand controlling fox populations like they do with deer, but that can be done with a rifle.

I also get really annoyed by the damn countryside alliance. They make out that they're "the voice of the countryside". I live in the country and disagree with most of the things they stand for.

howdy everyone-- just a quickie update (more official announcement to come later), but i know you regular t2j-folks would want to know asap.

1- announcing the triumphant return of joe to down under! yup, after many years away, joe is going to be doing a series of shows in new zealand and australia in march of 2005. dates listed on the site now!

Woooo Whooooooo. New Tour Dates!

Santariani Claus is comin to town!!!!!!

Webmaster....when will Joe drop us a simple post?

962..let me see...i've seen the british touring cars twice and the german touring cars once at donington, i work at a go-kart track, i have a ferrari jacket, i have model cars (yes i admit it)...hmm..motorsport..not really my thing eh? ;) :P

steve t...i'd like to own a honda s2000, you got one for free for me?

Mr Nick, Actually, the Honda S2000 is relatively cheap ($25,000 used) compared to a Porsche 928S...I picked one up 2 years ago for about $2300.00 & threw tons of cash into it to try to restore it. It was a Euro model with this psychedelic pattern on the seats. I had to marry my mechanic!

The Honda payment would have been cheaper!

But, if I find one for free...I'll send it Fed Ex to ya!

YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Joe is going to New Zealand and Australia!!!!!

That makes me so happy!! Congrats to all the fans who've waited so long!

Bahduh, I am good. I just found out yesterday that I won't be needing nose surgery for my sinus problem. That's great news. I get lots of headaches and stuff. I have to try the meds she recommended, and hopefully they will work and things will improve.

civgeek, fox hunting is barbaric. Anybody that gets their jollies by doing it needs therapy, and lots of it.

Simon, "400,000 people marched cause 8,000 people may be out of jobs?" I wonder how many of those people would march for a REAL issue - like a cure for cancer or aids?

ugh, I have a couple of roofer guys right outside my windows. They're doing something next door, and have been there all week. I feel like I have peeping Toms all up in my bidness.

Now that makes more sense - safety first - why you do not work when it snows.

Our kids around here come by full size bus, walk or their parents drop them off.

Do The Stu

Exactly - stand back when an elephant has an upset stomach.

Russell Carpenter......are you saying that Joe's music would make good backround music for porno movies? lol....honestly though, I'd probably quit watching the movie and go play my guitar instead of with myself....LMAO !!

Jazzy.....try putting on some pants before you head out into the great outdoors....lol....freakin' funny dude ! There's nothing worse than a frozen "Shmekela"

Have a great day everyone !!!!

On the Air

On the WBAM FM morning show in Chicago, the DJs play a game where they award winners great prizes. The game is called "Mate Match." The DJs call someone at work and ask if they are married or seriously involved with someone. If the contestant answers yes, he or she is then asked 3 random yet highly personal questions. The person is also asked to divulge the name of their partner (with phone number) for verification. If their partner answers those same three questions correctly, they both win the prize.

DJ: "Hey! This is Edgar on WBAM. Have you ever heard of 'Mate Match'?"

Contestant: (laughing) "Yes I have."

DJ: "Great! Then you know we're giving away a trip to Orlando,Florida if you win. What is your name? First only please."

Contestant: "Brian."

DJ: "Brian, are you married or what?"

Brian: "Yes."

DJ: "Yes? Does that mean you're married or you're what?"

Brian: (laughing nervously) "Yes, I am married."

DJ: "Thank you. Now, what is your wife's name? First only please."

Brian: "Sara."

DJ: "Is Sara at work, Brian?"

Brian: "She is gonna kill me."

DJ: "Stay with me here, Brian! Is she at work?"

Brian: (laughing) Yes, she's at work."

DJ: "Okay, first question - when was the last time you had sex?"

Brian: "She is gonna kill me."

DJ: "Brian! Stay with me here!"

Brian: "About 8 o'clock this morning."

DJ: "Atta boy, Brian."

Brian: (laughing sheepishly) "Well..."

DJ: "Question #2 - How long did it last?"

Brian: "About 10 minutes."

DJ: "Wow! You really want that trip, huh? No one would ever have said that if a trip wasn't at stake."

Brian: "Yeah, that trip sure would be nice."

DJ: "Okay. Final question. Where did you have sex at 8 o'clock this morning?"

Brian: (laughing hard) "I, ummm, I, well..."

DJ: "This sounds good, Brian. Where was it at?"

Brian: "Not that it was all that great, but her Mom is staying for a couple of weeks..."

DJ: "Uh huh..."

Brian: "...and the Mother-in-law was in the shower at the Time."

DJ: "Atta boy, Brian."

Brian: "On the kitchen table."

DJ: "Not that great?? That is more adventure than the previous hundred times I've done it. Okay folks, I will put Brian on hold, get his wife's work number and call her up.

DJ: "Okay audience, let's call Sarah, shall we?"
