How did Santa know just what I wanted?

    Hey hey hey and a Happy New Year to everyone out there!  Welcome to
  2003 here at the home of the Big T.  As you can see, the site has been
  revamped with a new look.  I know some of you out there are averse to any
  kind of change and it may throw you off.  To you people I say this:  Get over
  it.  This sock has got to change with the times, man.  And to the rest of you I
  say this:  hope you like it!  I've added a few new features that I'm all excited
  to tell you about, so I'm just going to jump in with those right away.   There
  is a new advice column on the site written by yours truly.  I've been asked a
  few times about starting something like this in the past, so I've finally decided
  to do it.  The page is called Ask Tim, and I'll be answering all kinds of
  queries from you folks out there.  So feel free to start asking me about all of
  your worries, concerns, weird habits, problems with pet armadillos, etc.  You
  can send your questions here.  One of my handlers will be going through the
  questions and giving me the best ones to answer, so I may not be able to
  answer each one individually.  A sock has to have some time to go out
  drinking, you know? 

    In addition to my new advice column, my favorite cousin Mark has set me
  up with another beautiful addition to the site.  It's the Tim Makeover Game,
  and you can dress me up with different hats, eyes, and all kinds of other
  things to give me some happenin' looks.  The game requires Shockwave, so
  if you don't have it, you can get it here.  Have fun!  There's also a new movie
  clip on my Movies Page this month.  My pal Dante had suggested I do 'A
  Few Good Socks' as one of my movies.  What he didn't know at the time was
  that I auditioned for the Tom Cruise role in 'A Few Good Men' way back
  when.  I flubbed my audition royally because I was so nervous to be in the
  presence of such great star power.  I dug up my failed screen test tape, so
  you can check it out and see what not to do on an audition, kiddies.  Boy,
  have I learned my lesson.  There's also a gaggle of new song requests up on
  my Sounds page this month, as well as a new inductee on my Slap Page.  I
  know adding Mr. Dave Matthews to my slap page may enrage some of you,
  but I really don't give a flying fig.  He makes my little ears bleed pantyhose
  when I hear him whine.  And that squinting and that dancing and the granola
  and the grating voice and the...and I must stop or I may start vomiting
  chickpeas.  And I'm not sure I've ever actually eaten a chickpea.  In any
  event, I'm done.  Phew.

Twins!

      I hope everyone had a great holiday last month.  I'm looking forward
  to a rockin' new year with lots of adventures and surprises.  Well, the good
  kind of surprises, not the "Ha ha, you put a cockroach in my underwear"
  kind.  I'm planning some trips in the spring, but hopefully I'll be able to head
  to L.A. soon because I really can't take this snow business.  Tell that
  freakin' Edward Scissorhands enough already with the flakes!  This stupid
  snow can really limit a sock's shoe choice, you know what I'm saying?
  Sheesharoni.  Mayhaps I should get back to reading some scripts, so I shall
  leave you all for now.  Hope you like the new look of the site.  Feel free to
  drop me a line and say hello anytime.  I love hearing from all of you folks out
  there.  If you're jonesing for anything from last year's monthly jive, you can
  find it down below under 'Old Stuff.'  Hope you all have a great month and a
  Rockin' New Year's Celebration!  Get tanked for me....  Until we meet again -


Tim
