Hello PB (The Breakfast) forum land. I am The Arm. My real name is Harley Smith. Although it says I am a newbie fan, I have been a PB fan since 1999. I have seen them maybe 10 - 15 times, and sat in with them (on drums) 5 times.
I check the forum approximately everyday. I like the vibe. We’ve got Leith who lives in Cal. Frank Zappa, and Freddiewaht (or something like that.) And DavePeck who has the coolest smiley faces I have ever seen (especially the vomiting one.) Side note: I don’t know what “ser” means.
I thought to myself … “Harley, you should introduce yourself. I’m sure aJwvof, Wolfman, Tiedyetoga & the 355 + other folks who are on the forum are all dying to know who you REALLY are.”
Ok then … here are my top 10 favorite movies of all time. I think you will get the idea.
10. North By Northwest: Alfred Hitchcock
9. Citizen Kane: Orson Wells
8. Toy Story: Pixar/John Lasseter
7. The Big Lebowski: Coen Brothers
6. The Shining: Stanley Kubrick
5. Pulp Fiction: Quinton Tarantino
4. Tie Quest for the Holy Grail/ Life of Brian (I just can’t choose:) Monty Python
3. 2001 A Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick
2. A Clockwork Orange: Stanley Kubrick
Number 1. THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: Gorgeous George Lucas
Honorable Mentions:
Blue Velvet: David Lynch
Plan 9 from outer space: Ed Wood D. wood Jr.
Do the right thing/Bamboozled: Spike Lee
The Muppet Movie: Jim Henson
Punch Drunk Love: PT Anderson (it’s a god damn masterpiece!)
Please feel free to tell me yours. Note: Don’t pick movies because you think other people should see them. Pick movies that are your all time favorites.
You now know who I am. Peace.

I watch Wargames at the video store while "working" all of the time. I love movies about technology from the 1980s. Everybody is so captivated by computers.
And on a slightly related note, did you ever notice that computers in movies always move so freaking fast; not such an abnormality these days, but in the 80s? The only time a CPU doesn\'t move really fast in a movie is when you\'re downloading the "secret file" or something pertinent to the film\'s climax.

Since some of you see the band regularly, you should have them post their favorite movies. Peace.

Freddiewaht,
Exact dates I am not sure. Everytime they have played at Mainely Brew in Waterville ME, Jmacs Party in Rome ME, The benefit for thier stolen gear (as the ARM.)
I played in this group called The Perpetual Motion Machine. PB and PMM used to play together at Tammany Hall, and up in Maine. However PMM broke up (sniff.)
I wish I could get to more PB shows. I had to miss the last Ale House (Portland) show, but if they come to Maine I am there!! One day when the time and show is right I will make the trek to Conn. to see them in they\'re natural habitat.
My question for you Freddiewaht. Is your user name supposed to be freddiewhat but you switched the "a and h"? I have always wondered.
Peace.
Harley

Harley - no shit! what did you play? I thought you guys ripped (froma ME, right?) - too bad you broke up.
onlycaught you once at the tammany, the guitarist sat in and ripped it up on king kong. still one of my favs. I thought you guys were great, and I rember thinking it sucked cause you didnt have a mailing list.
you also played paperback writer, and that was one of the first times pb played one big mob. also frst show I had my camera at, so I have a tom of pics from it.

Outside Providence
Clockwork Orange
Monty Python\' s The Meaning of Life
High Fidelity

Ahhhh, Zappa movies. In my opinion, belong in a different catergorical list. You wouldn\'t put one on and have a little lady over for... it has a lot of innuendos and stuff that only hardcore Zappa freaks would appreciate, not to mention (after many viewings) stuff that even Zappa freaks get tired of. FZ movies are esoteric (esp. Uncle Meat) for the most part, but see 200 Motels if you wish to see Ringo Starr playing FZ.
BTW- Freddie, you watch my Baby Snakes DVD yet?

yea, I\'ve lost many a friend by watching 200 motels with other peolpe present. I wouldnt dare put on uncle meat unless I knew the other person could handle it. that movies pretty rough. Christine is convinced that every single song he wrote is perverted. I\'ve tried showing her that its only about 1/3 that are like that, but it makes no difference. That 1/3 is so bad that she gave up on fz. a sad day :(

Frank Zappa,
Sorry for the delay in my response. For some reason I could not get on pbfans.com. But I \'m back. That was us at Tammany. I remember it well. Its been a while since the show, but if you have any pictures of us, I would like to get those somehow. Let me know.
Nice to hear that Baby Snakes is out on DVD. I love the guy singing about Chickens in Spanish, and Approximate. That is unbelievable.
For whomever. I am looking for a Phish bootleg. 10.23.96 (date not exact) Hartford Civic Center. Bob Gullioti on Drums. It was my favorite Phish show, and I want a good boot of it. Can anyone help me? Peace.
