FZ is on every wall in my house. Nice, tasteful posters....if you like mostly naked mustachioed musical geniuses. Its hard to find vintage FZ in clothing.
HOLD UP, M...
Are you serious?
"Let's get serious. No, let's don't."
EVERY WALL?
🤔 😮
@InUnfunky @Oma_Trisha
Kitchen, foyer, bedroom, guest bathroom...and my tat. Close enough.
I need to find a photo that you may have seen...girl on a toilet reading a zappa bio, zappa wallpaper covered walls, zappa panties around her ankles. Classy and glorious.
Nice web shop, btw.
@InUnfunky @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha @Bix
I take a lot of pride in my FZ record collection. Especially the one Dear Ex doesn't have...it makes me feel just a little bit cooler than he is. 😛😎
Then there's the scar I now have from a splinter I got pulling my collection from a shelf to photograph for Trey. I call it my "Exxie-FZ scar". 😂
@JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha @Bix
Awwww! You got a scar?! All on account of lil’ ol’ me? I’m sorry. 😱💔❤️😢😎
And “cool”? Me? You know very well that I’m one of the biggest dorks on the planet. 🤓
@InUnfunky @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha @Bix
Yes, a scar. It was a big splinter! There was blood and bandaids involved. Totally worth it. 😊😉❤️
Yes, you are a dork. I will never argue this point. 😂
@JoyfullyDazed @InUnfunky @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Flashback, Trey waiting for his Frank Zappa records via the Columbia House Record Club.
@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Arf!
That was almost as much fun as finding “Thing Fish” (box good, records/ libretto/order form all mint) in the NoHo Newbury Comics…
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
I bought 100's of CD's from Columbia House & the BMG Club.
@InUnfunky @Bix @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
😂
Not me, man, I got my penny's worth. I filled out the postcard, taped the penny on the circle, and ran to the mailbox. A week later I got 20 albums...Foreigner, Styx, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac...to name a few.
Best penny I ever spent. 😂
@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Yeah well PLEASE don’t go looking for THOSE.
No more splinters (and scars), por favor.
😢😏
@JoyfullyDazed @InUnfunky @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
I still have TWO Sony 400-CD players. #Luddite
@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Why do you need 2? In case the other one becomes obsolete? 😏
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
One for my home stereo & one for my work stereo.
@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Are both filled to capacity?
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
I stopped counting when I obtained over 2000 CDs.
The audio lab at work was next to me. They gave me old JBL's to use.
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Trey, If you remember KT-y-not from the Dead Bird. Her nephew was an audio engineer that worked with me.
They had top of line stereo toys.
@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Hell yeah.
Remember when (😏) she chided me for using GIFs?
(I’d put an appropriate GIF here but you know…)
@InUnfunky @Bix @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
So I'm not the first? 😂😂😂
@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Not in this way, heh.
KT claimed to have epilepsy, I think? 🤔 As such, maybe some GIFs if too frenetic could potentially cause mild symptoms? (This was around ‘17ish so I may not have the deets correct.) So I wondered what she would be doing on certain socmed sites at all if that was the case but gave her credence cuz Bix worked with her neph. That said, it ALSO seemed like her GIF tolerance grew so 🤷🏻♂️🤔😏
@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
See how much fun those are? 😆
My audio engineer buddy has a degree in the tuba (music BA) - and he still was able to make good money - life is strange.
@Bix @InUnfunky @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Holy shit, I'm turning into Trey. 😂
@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
But I don’t like REO Speedwagon! 🤓
@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
(“Yes!” or “Nice.” GIF here) 😏
@InUnfunky @JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
When Trey won't stop playing the 1984 triple album box-set Thing-Fish:
@Bix @InUnfunky @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Don't make me turn this car around!

@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Bixie’s just upset that the Guv n’ I agree on this point. That’s all. 😱🤓
What’s the point? “Thing Fish” is a Zappa top 5, and the epitome of “not an easy listen.” And that’s putting it mildly for MANY reasons.
Melissa’s retort to this cartoon was “Marry the person who will listen to ‘Thing Fish’ WITH you.” 😆 Bixie said he’d listen to it more, but he “doesn’t want to get divorced.” 😏
@InUnfunky @Bix @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
On my second date with hubby, I asked him if he liked FZ. I firmly believe that was the moment he decided he was going to marry me. The other reason was due to my ability to give sarcasm as good as I get it. He'll never admit to either, though...he says it was all love, the other stuff was just gravy. Smart man.
@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
WHAT I never heard this story! 😮
Not surprising what with your record collection. Plus his "I'm gonna be in the garage" comment STILL kills me. 😎
@InUnfunky @Bix @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
He did like you did, sat on the couch and watched, but once he knew I was going to keep him for life, "I'm gonna be in the garage" was safe. 😂
@JoyfullyDazed @Bix @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
OH RIGHT! I forgot about THAT part. Lucky dude, though. 🤓
@InUnfunky @Bix @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Thank you, Dear Ex. But the truth is, I'm the lucky one. 😊
@Bix @JoyfullyDazed @Mfieck @Oma_Trisha
Fer reelz —
The only 2 albums I can remember getting from said club? “Asia” 😆 and Eddie Murphy’s first lp.
