I seem to be getting a cell phone soon...
I need one if I want to get a better job.
But I hate those things! [Grumble]

Please provide a full physical description; I've always wondered what the devil looks like. Does he sound like Barry White, by any chance?

He plays a guitar made with the bones of sinners and the sinews of fornicators.

*pause*

Actually, it was a Fender, I think.

He looks a bit like that opera singer I like.
White hair, deep voice... A lot of cell phones in a bowling bag.

He's short, and kind of on the hairy side.

I mean, you would NOT want to have to wax his back.

He's got a little bit of a pot belly-- he claims its because the souls he's ingesting these days are so FAT, but I think it's because he doesn't get much of a workout anymore, what with the internet and all.

He's got a lovely singing voice-- I mean really good, like WOW! that was the lord of evil? good.

Yeah, but his songs really suck.

No, no, he doesn't play a Fender -- he plays a fiddle!

*snicker*

Farmgirl, I thought I knew my husband until that song came on the radio while we were in the car. Mr. Opera is the antithesis of country. Yet when that song came on, he actually turned it up and jammed. I still giggle whenever I think of it.

Actually, that "fiddle" that he plays in that song sounds more like a Fender than a fiddle.

He doesn't play the Fender very well, either. He described the C Chord as really hard.

MPH: I may be wrong but I think the fiddle part that you're talking about really isn't a fiddle. You mean the part right after "And a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this"? I'm pretty sure it's a bass or guitar playing the rhythm there, and the fiddle comes in in the middle of it.

Why do so many people on Hatrack know so much about the devil? Makes me kinda wonder about things.

He plays a fiddle, and has played it for, like, ever. That's why the violin is known as the devil's instrument.

IanO is right-- he's no great shakes at lyrics. His poetry tends toward the shallow side of really sucky-- let me give you an example:

I sat on an angel, it said so clear
What is it you want, my horned dear?
And I poked him in his eyes so blue,
And he wept and wailed and I said, 'Tis true,'
That I do not like you.'

But if he SINGS it. . . man.

Credit cards are the devil's instrument.
Which is why I should never have one.
I'd use it to buy all of the Russian's CDs.

The Devil made me do it.

Yep, stood there with his little pitchfork and made me right those words. You never would have guessed it, but he has a slight Yorkshire accent.

Syn,

Just make sure you get a contract with the Devil that expires in 1 or 2 years.

I actually met the devil in disguise once while in college, and it was an experience I will never forget. We were sitting in our favorite bar and this tall handsome gentleman in a suit and a tan trenchcoat sat down beside us. He professed that he was this HUGE corporate bigshot and that he had more money than God. He proceeded to put his credit card on the table (he mentioned that he had a 6-figure credit limit) and bought us free drinks all night long. When he became rather drunk he insisted that we take him to a club with dancing girls and ladies of a looser persuasion. Naturally, we knew just the place. He then went out and fired up his new toy, which was the most incredible Harley Fatboy I had ever seen, with all sorts of custom chrome and pipes. He somehow managed to lowside it in the parking lot of the club and scratched the hell out of it. By the third club, my buddy and I looked at each other and agreed that we had just met Satan and that he was tempting us to do great evil. At that point, we ditched him and fled for our lives.

True story.

It doesn't work for me....GeekRoar insists that you not link directly to their images. Even though they have their site designed so you can't find anything any other way.

But Syn, did you sign it at the crossroads? 'Cause it don't count if it ain't at the crossroads.
