Dueling Banjos is a poopy head and clearly has some strong mental disturbance that should be attended to preferably with defibrillator-to-the-temples level shock treatment. They're the kind of person that comes out with such ludicrously insane statements like "I don't like
The Devil Went Down to Georgia" too.

Hm. Not sure I have a mandolin. I have a nice Japanese biwa, though. It would go well with the monkey mask. And the Rúyì Jīngū Bàng, for that matter.  |
Oh, yes, that'll do nicely!

Yes, I think there's some retractable anatomy involved. If you'd like a loincloth or something (or maybe a tshirt, "I heart OZ"?) that can also be arranged.

No, no, I'm just faking modesty. Hell, I'm not wearing any underpants at this very moment (unless you count "on my head").

Only 3 fingers... kind of hard to do the Vulcan sign. Hm....

My favourite hand sign usually only requires the one.

'Tis a wonderful tool from a wonderful TV series (well, okay, from a classic Chinese novel...but still,
"the nature of Monkey was IRREPRESSIBLE!")

dress him in a toga, like me !! (then he could have *several* retractable parts, in different places)

Wow...sometimes I wonder if you're weirder than me...weirder than all of us.

Sheesh, you lot are killing all the best music. Next thing you know, someone will be calling for bagpipes to be excluded.

Dulcimer? [cough]poof[cough]. (
See, 'cause I'm being all ironical-like)

You are my new best friend (I'm fickle, yes?).

Obviously, Marc's avatar needs a bowl of galangal soup! Plus chopsticks takes care of two hands. One hand for the Monkey King's staff, one or two hands for the biwa (I don't think I have a bagpipe model, more's the pity). One hand making a modified Vulcan "live long and prosper" sign. I'll see if I can throw this together tonight.

Yeah, just see what you can whip-up, Neko (he says, mighty impressed at what constitutes "throw this together").

Marc, I think a background would only distract, but if you want one, let me know.

Nah, I can provide a (verbal, autobiographical) background if necessary, and I'm sure others will fill in the gaps (and fill over the lies).

I downloaded it. I'm not sure when I'll get to read it, but it looked good enough to get.
