So dear friends…I don’t have recent music projects to regale you with…but I do have my kids…and since Jerry put his up…I thought I should answer in kind. So if our moderator does not find all this too maudlin…
I give you: “The Monkey Picture”
Put ’em up if you got ’em. Or just shoot your goldfish.
Enjoy.
Patrick Works
Chief Monkey
I don’t think I knew you (Patrick) but your kids are a crack up. Nice. Beautiful picture too!
Hey Matt and Company- I tried to post a couple pics and was told:

Anyhow- hopefully my post isn’t lost in the ether-black hole of superfluous posts.
The daughter, underwater.
ok so that’s cool as hell…but who is it?
Here’s Lucas Brandes Alvarez:
“ok so that’s cool as hell…but who is it?”
My wee little offspring… So much like her mom that it’s like having an absolutely brilliant mind coupled with a person who questions pretty much everything and barring that just doesn’t buy any bullshit.
Her mom’s kid who hesitates to commit felonies only because she knows that stupid shit didn’t get her dad anywhere at all.
PS: Little Lucas Brandes is the spittin’ image of his daddy! I keep thinking that Jerry’s kids’ rocket ignited Ray’s kid’s cake. 🙂
Fantastic!
Kids are even better than people. 🙂
Ray, I have to second Matt’s opinion. Lucas is Ray 2.0. Those are the most adorable photos! How old is he now? (The twins just turned 8 yesterday).
Pat,
That is a great wacky photo. Who’da thunk your kids? 😉
On your site, you have the most amazing shot of the twins with their big cousins! Image2-6.
Toby, the best way to add pictures? Post your comment without them and save it. Then, hit the “edit” link on your post. This pulls up the “full” editor -- which has an IMG button. If you click that, it opens a dialogue for the URL of your pic.
Believe it or not, this is the first time I thought to Log in.
Thanks, Jerry--for both the kind words and the posting tip. Who would have thought such a bunch of ugly guys such as ourselves would have such beautiful kids? Lucas is four and will be starting kindergarten at Grant Elementary School, next to the Pioneer Park graveyard, in September.
Pictures of Lily:
Will post Sadie next! (Don’t tell her.)
My only child (so far)…
Here is our adopted cat, Wesker K.
Sailor Ray Lane
Sailor Ray Lane and Lucas Brandes Alvarez must form a band!
I’d offer up Lily as well if we were in SoCal … She’s a ukulele prodigy.
Quite a tat on your boy, Bobby! How’d you get ‘im to sit still? 🙂
I love the contrast with the “Bob L’Eponge” shirt.
sponge Bob is the most PSYCHEDELIC thing i’ve ever seen.and that IS saying something.He asked me for that tattoo one day so I guess he was motivated.Sailor is presently learning to play guitar,something I still dont know how to do.
Lily is tiny — like, when she was 10, five-year-olds were still coming up to her at shops and asking her to play. She’s concluded (very sensibly) that one of my ukes would be the right size for rockin’. I’ve got a pickup in one, so she’s tour-ready.
Spongebob — hell, yeah! Have you seen the one with Jim Jarmusch and John Lurie as live-action fisherman? (The one about addiction — “the hooks!”) Their pal Tom Waits has also sworn his love for Spongebob … I’m certain he’s singing uncredited on the song that goes “A grill is not a grill …”
Agreed about Sponge Bob.
I can’t watch much TV. But I will always watch this with the kids. REALLY STUPID characters always make me hysterical. Howard Borden, anyone? So Patrick always makes me spit my rootbeer across the fun room.
The open homages to Salvador Dali in the “haunting” scenes? The subtle, psychological horror of the old lady, who ‘adopts’ Gary? All of it priceless.
The episode where they splice in bits from the 1922 “Nosferatu”?? Genius!
I remember seeing Jarmush, and getting excited. Trying to explain who that was -- to my kids and my Brother-in-law! “You know, Fred! Remember “Night on Earth?” You know? The one with the cab driver who kills the Cardinal because of his love story about a sheep?.”
Whoops! Sorry kids!
We too have a deep respect for the sponge. I don’t even have cable but we have a pretty impressive stack of Spongebob DVDs that are in constant rotation.
Nicole and I had a kid, who just turned 2.
Thurston Homel Tellier. Super into scooters, motorcycles, bicycles and cars. Who would have guessed?
So how lame am I that I can’t figure out how to post photos?
But if you just post the url I’m sure one of the ether-janitors will fix it for you.
Let’s see if this works!
We may not be talented, but we can definitely grow hair. Did I mention that these are my boys?
Okay, I am lame. Thanks for the help Toby, but I couldn’t edit. Let’s see if it works this way.
They have the absolute best hair!
Another musical coup for Che Underground: The Blog! Lucas Brandes Alvarez makes his broadcast debut (with a little help from Daddy Ray and GarageBand):
No kids, but I have a Senegal parrot named Mango. He won the “Dress your pets Padres style” contest for this picture of him wearing a beer cozy. His tiny mug regularly appears lager than life on the jumbotron.
oh, dang. as soon as i get registered, i’ll post the picture of my walnut-brained bird.
David K: If you’re having problems posting the picture, contact me … We’ll fix you up nice.
My wife and I decided last month that our 17th anniversary would be the Parrot Anniversary, and we bought the family a sun conure … She’s a total doll! (The parrot, not my wife. Although she’s also a total doll.)
Here are me bambinos: Kaitlyn (18) and Elijah (2.5).
Adorable, Kristen! They can get up to hijinks with Toby’s big girl and little boy. 🙂
Here;s my little man . Vaughn Harris Stobbe , 9 1/2 months old now and growing like a weed . . .
By the way both of my daughters are on the right hand side. Pia is 18 with her blnd friend kt (above). Ali is in the red dress 16, with her friend Alisha.Outfit takes after her mama…heeheehee.
Jerry,
I dont see a pic of your kids.:(
gratuitous bump for Ava
Awwwww, Mike — that’s hella cute … But isn’t he still a little short to ride?
aww this is really fun to look at everyone’s peeps. so cute !
Ava: Do you have any photos anywhere online at all? Let’s start there.
Here’s my youngest (at right) at the mall with her posse tonight:
yeah, some of my fb pix. i have one of henry with wayne coyne i want to share, too. i’ll scan it and see about sending it to fb so we can load it here.
o, and man, your girl is so super cutie.

Wow Let me try that again

Go back and look at the photo’s address. It should look something like this:

or this:
< a href="hXXp://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a11/Tobylifehater/?action=view¤t=AlohaFuhrer.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> I had to leave some essential stuff out of that last one to let you see the code, but it's generally that with a couple less spaces and a couple more arrows and it will show right up.
