I've had this page for a long time, with pictures of the members of the ZBB (Zompist Bulletin Board), and this is its latest incarnation.
If you are on this page (or rather, if there is a picture of you on this page), and object to anything on it, for example a comment which offends you, don't hesitate to contact me, and I will act on the matter. Should you wish for your picture to be taken down, I will do so, no questions asked.
I am indebted to Space Dracula for providing many captions for this page. A good rule of thumb is that if it's funny, he wrote it. Thanks.

This picture of Lepidus is full of contradictions and paradoxes. He is wearing a formal suit - yet his hair is spiked in a "punkish" manner. And despite the attention to his looks, the sideburns are unkempt and growing at an alarming rate. And perhaps the biggest one of all - why on earth is he outside? This picture stimulates us to question our own motives, fashion sense, and, indeed, location. |
