#18: He has always had the VOICE! But, boy has he ever learned to use his instrument!

[cha cha trusty]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! He looks so great! What's he got in his hand?

For sure it's his trusty ole faithful no-one-will-know-who-I-am-when-I-put-this-on bucket hat........

but also on closer inspection, he also has either a set of earplugs, or an ipod, or perhaps the earpiece for his iphone??

:F_05BL17blowkiss:

PLUS:

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! He looks so great!

As per OFC, Clay's episode on Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader is going to Air on Oct. 11!!!

Still catching up.........

But I watched Smarter than a 5th Grader tonight and they had a promo for next week's show, but did not mention any celebrities being on next Thursday!

Only showed a couple of regular people......... (I'm recording it anyway!)

Sorry to postho - I don't think there's anyone else here!!! :F_05BL17blowkiss:

[keldanker]

cha cha trusty, very cute new avatar. However, that cutie bears little resemblance to the hawt guy in the NY pictures.

I'll probably miss AIR tonight since we are heading out shortly to a college football game and then out to dinner with dd#1 and sil.

Its weird about the disconnect between the promo for AYSTAFG and the announced date on the OFC. So what else is new??

No birthdays listed on the calendar for today, but just in case: :00003653:

For those of you who have a membership to clayaikenpix.com (they've since closed membership, due to bandwidth issues, I can let people know if they open up again), they've got some beauties there....including some new ones of the AMA Red Carpet:

And my two new favorites:

Lord, what a gaze there.

And of course, I had to include a smiling Clay picture:

For some reason, I love the way his EYES look when he's smiling. There's way more to his smile than just his mouth, it's his entire face that lights up.

[Scarlett]

No birthdays listed on the calendar for today, but just in case: :00003653:

Uh-oh!... Belated Happy Birthday to Liney23 and ialreadyam!! Hope your birthdays were wonderful.... so glad you don't use sporks.... (or do you)?

[aikim]

Good Morning Everyone,

Everyone have a great day!

Kim

[duckyvee]

Nice!

Claygasm, for the Phillies tonight: or maybe or perhaps :thdom2:

[lilyshine]

Totally trivial literary obscure reference.

John Bunyan wrote Pilgrim's Progress (1678) and in the section on Vanity Fair, he lists "...delights of all sorts as whores, bawds, wives, husbands, children, masters, servants, lives, blood, bodies, souls, silver, gold, pearls, precious stones, and what not?"

How's that for esoterica?

[Bookwhore]

Lord, what a gaze there.

And of course, I had to include a smiling Clay picture:

For some reason, I love the way his EYES look when he's smiling. There's way more to his smile than just his mouth, it's his entire face that lights up.

:thdom2: BACK OFF!! Everyone just step away from the sexy pictures and no one will get hurt. He's MIIIIINE I tell ya. He's MIIIIIINE!

Funny y'all are talking about the purdy smile and purdy eyes and I'm thinking how much I'd like to handcuff him to the headboard and do him six ways from Sunday.

Oh, good morning, FCA! :F_05BL17blowkiss:

EEEEEEEEEEEE!!! The Phillies didn't lose today!!!!!!!!

(Of course they didn't play, but you have to find your joy where you can........)

BWAH!! But there's a game today. GO, ROCKIES!!!!

Wichita pre-party info is posted in the tour thread!

Cool! I'll check it out.

It's so funny that the OFC didn't get the tour dates right the first time. The AYSTAFG date probably isn't right, either. What else is new?

I LURVE this picture - I feel it all the way down to my toes. I love this look on Clay - so handsome and manly! And that eyefuck is fantastic. I think it's going to be my new wallpaper!! It's best viewed at the largest size, of course.

[woo lovereyes]

Why not have this pretty full size on a quiet Saturday!

Also something OT. I put this in the book thread but it's awfully lonely there. I'm excited about this!!

Just a heads up on the release of Ken Follett's follow up to "Pillars of the Earth". That was one of my all time favorite reads. After 18 long years he is finally releasing the long awaited sequel "World without End" Oct.9. I can't wait!

Looking forward to AI Rewind at 1:PM here!

Have a great weekend! :F_05BL17blowkiss:

[liney23]

OMG... ldyjocelyn... to the max!!! The AMA pics are some of my faves, but this one... it is my desktop now and it expands to full size and... IT"S AWESOME!!! Try it, you'll like it! Thanks so much for bringing it over!

Scarlett... I don't spork... I think that is unique to the eHP and since I live in OC, I don't qualify... hey, my ex lived in Houston many years and now lives outside Austin... would that qualify me? Anywho, thanks for the belated birthday. Keeping Faith had the birthday between ialreadyam and myself, so you are still a candidate for possible sporking...

Wonder what's up with Fifth Grader/OFC. There is no way Fifth Grader would not advertise his appearance to the max, so something is wrong somewhere and given OFC's history, guess which one I would vote for being wrong? LOL

[Scarlett]

Hey liney! That's ok. Living about 1000 miles from here never stopped PerusingOne. Come join us! I think KAndre is still giving away toasters to new minions.

Yes, I also noticed that keepingfaith was between you and ialreadyam... been misbehaving a lot lately.... (wonder if Clay still has that whip?... sporking might be preferable, though)

[playbiller]

I think I figured out the bangs,when he looks fine with he hair back - It's the roots - people like MsAllie come and complain about Clay going bald, when it is usually the blongde hari coming in. He likes the way he looks with dark hair, but his hair is very light and when the roots grow in, it looks like there is nothing there. If he let it all grow in, it would be darker looking, but it is the comparison with the dark makes the light look lighter.

End of deep thinking, I am just barely breathing now as workman left door open and dog ran out for an hour and 1/2. I hate the dog pursuits. I had to wait until she was so tired she fell asleep on someone's lawn.

As to me sleep next to her, not likely, time for anthoer home depot/lowes trip!

[cha cha trusty]

OMFG - he looks so good in those pictures!!

And of course, I had to include a smiling Clay picture:

For some reason, I love the way his EYES look when he's smiling. There's way more to his smile than just his mouth, it's his entire face that lights up.

ldyj - did you know there's scientific evidence that there's a type of smile called a "Duchenne smile" in which the corners of the eyes involuntarily crinkle?

It's the most sincere kind of smile there is - it makes you smile back!!

I forgot to add hummina hummina!!!! Thanks for the great pix!!!

Most of Clay smiles are like that!! It's explained here, WHY CLAY MAKES US SMILE

:F_05BL17blowkiss:

oh goodie - top of the page!

[FromClaygary]

First time I've been able to get on this morning, because we're having a DANDY thunder and lightning storm on this supposed-to-be-a-30-above day. Look out cindilu2 and luckiest and goldarngirl! Here it comes!

Good Lord! Thank you for those CApix pictures!

Dear Gawd!! The "look" one!......and the "smiling" one!!!!1!!1

I may have to get those mounted...or mount them...or something.

Again, I FLOVE when his eyelashes are dyed. It does something just magical to his eyes.

End of deep thinking, I am just barely breathing now as workmean left door open and dor ran out for an hour and 1/2. I hate the dog pursuits. I had to wait until she was so tired she fell asleep on someones lawn.

....with you right beside her?

[muskifest]

OMFG.

Those pics are lethal. Damn, he looked so good at that AMA show. Interesting to see pics with the 'old' teeth, isn't it?

If anybody has extra time on her hands, I would LOVE an avie of that over-the-shoulder, you-know-I-could-do-you-good picture.

[liney23]

Scarlett, ohohoh, a new toaster... can I? canI? :PickMe-1: Let's see, what could I bring to the eHP??? I am a Libra and we are very loyal and that makes a very good minion!

I am driving to Vegas and would be glad to bring anything anyone cannot bring on a plane, by the way. Except Clay... for some reason he does not want to get in my car, even tho it is an Altima and red...

[muskifest]

NEver mind about the avie.... I see that the tag says not to crop it, etc.

Thing is that I really don't want to crop it.

I want to _ _ _ _ it or maybe _ _ _ _ it or do some other lascivious action verb to it, but "crop" ain't one of them!

[liney23]

OMFG.

Muski... try this. I didn't crop out the tag, just a bit of empty space, so that should be ok... (how's that for rationalization). Your choice. I'm positive she means just don't crop out the tag or anything else in the picture... empty space doesn't count, right?

[muskifest]

ooooh...thank you, liney! :F_05BL17blowkiss: Ain't he delicious?

Ldyj - thanks so much for those pictures!!!!!!!!

Now that's the way to start a day!!!!!!!!!

:hubbahubba: :hubbahubba:

The second to last one is now my new desktop and if it weren't for the cropping no-no, the smiling one would be my avie!!!

THIS is my favorite Clay look ever. He looked so HOT and HANDSOME and CONFIDENT and HOT and HOT and HOT that night.

These pictures made me gasp!

:hubbahubba: :hubbahubba:

So how is everyone this morning????

[aikim]

Okay, something wierd just happened with the board; I refreshed the page and when I did every post on the page was self-contained...the thread title was above every post and there were no reply buttons...had to go back to the forum and refresh and now it looks back to normal.

Kim

[liney23]

ooooh...thank you, liney! :F_05BL17blowkiss: Ain't he delicious?

Ummm, muski... ya.ah... he is just a leetle delicious! You're very welcome! It was a tremendous amount of work... NOT!

Claygasm, glad you realized no cropping was necessary to make that smiley sexysingerman your avie. Lookin' good, gals!!!

All this avie changin'... I decided to change my own. One of my favorite clack... David Foster Gala... Love everything about that appearance and his appearance, too!
