Please. He's a svelte 6'5" blonde Aryan. They will throw him a parade and ply him with beer until a virgin from the neighboring town is brought over to poop on his chest. That's a German custom right? Thought so.
I need to drink heavily more than once a year. And I should probably not go for seven a.m. Mimosas and brass monkeys when I do decide to drink heavily.
Well we already know I'm no threat to their daughters, so... There is a Canadian 5 dollar bill on the wall behind the bar with "ghetto was here" written on it. I was last here 2 years ago. I don't know what to make of it.
So that's how the Brown Shirts got started. Well, it took two passes but the lawn is mowed and edged. Pool temp is a very refreshing 85 degrees and felt wonderful. I think this afternoon calls for a nap, more nookie-nookie, and then out for dinner. We tried a new sushi restaurant in town last night that was really, really good. I bought some cowboy cut ribeyes to grill tomorrow. Maybe we'll go for Mexican tonight. Or Cajun. Or Mediterranean.
There was a 17 year old girl kidnapped from her home here this morning. As if that weren't bad enough, here's the comment someone left on the news story: What. The. Fuck.
I don't understand half of your post, toytoy. Specifically the quoted part. Is that some form of West Virginian? Will be on G+ later, if I manage to sleep as well as I did last night. It was great to have NO dogs barking. They are obviously union-ed and last night was their night off. Fuckers.
So I posted in the R&R thread last week about our former landlord trying to extort a several hundred dollars out of us for "destroying" her couch. (oh and now she is claiming we destroyed more things) we are literally the type of tenents a person wants because we treat where we live with more respect than our own family. This woman is an extortionist. So she then started harassing my wife, and she doesn't handle that stuff well, and I sent her an email saying "your couch was shitty IKEA crap, and was already fucked up when we moved in and we have photos showing that everything you claim we did was already there. Well jägerette told her we would meet tommorow because she wanted a face to face. The whole point of the meeting will be me telling this woman to her face, "you will get no money from me". So anyone have any ideas of other ways to express "no way in hell to her"? I was thinking a subetrranean homesick blues tribute of placards saying no in as many languages as possible. Or maybe a Dr. Cox from Scrubs no.
Depends on the year. The "classic" LP, the one that most collectors want, is the '59. Since they were not at all popular when they were made, they're more rare. When I took the tour of the Gibson Custom Shop, they were saying that if you found an unbroken output jack plate from a 1959 LP, that you could sell it to a collector and make several THOUSAND dollars. One a square-inch piece of plastic with a hole in it. And yeah, the '50s neck profile was huge. That, along with no chambering in the body, made those things heavy as hell. The reissues feel like having a fucking tree slung around your neck.
Yeah, that was the one. It was in great condition too, but the guy who owned it was telling me how people would come up to him at shows and be like, "what are you doing? That should be in a display case somewhere!" He'd just reply that it was his guitar, he'd been playing it his whole life and wasn't going to stop just because people decided it was valuable. I think he got it for ~$200 back in 59.
I took my niece to a 7-11 today so she could get some nachos. As she exited the store, some dude about 25 years old started pestering her..."Hey Girlie...you single?"..."C'mon spend some time."..blah, blah, fucking blah...it was all ghetto English. She kept walking and he started after her. I got out of my car and politely informed him that she is 14 years old. He got all pissed off and apparently threatened some sort of jungle vengeance on me, I really don't know what the hell he was saying. Was "Hey Fuckstick!" an inappropriate way to address an African American male who is bothering a little girl? He certainly seemed to think so.
I don't know if anyone follows the DOTA2 scene, but The International is going on right now. It's a huge tournament thrown by Valve with a $1,600,000 prize pool. Yes, the winning DOTA2 team gets one million dollars. Orange just had an absolutely insane match in the lower against EHOME in which they led for most of the game until a totally geared Tiny (criting for +1000 ffs) wrecked them. The big match coming up is LGD-Navi, with Navi being the only team left with a chance IMO to take even a game off LGD, who has a perfect record at this point.
I've never played one, but you mean to tell me those Gold Tops are actually solid bodies? Screw that, it was all I could do to have a semi-hollow LP strapped to me for 4-5 hours a night. And personally, I always thought the Gold Tops were just plain ugly. All but one of my LP's have been white with gold hardware, with one sunburst thrown in just because I got a deal on it. Speaking of vintage guitars, one of my buddies has a '57 Gretsch Chet Atkins Special that he's had since '72. It's quite a trip to play the thing. You can't get up any speed on the fretboard, for some reason once your fingers are placed, they have a hard time moving elsewhere. The frets aren't overly tall, it just wasn't built for any kind of speed. That also reminds me...have any of you ever played a scalloped neck? One of my students scalloped the neck on his Ibanez and that was just fucking bizarre to play. You could absolutely fly over the neck for lead, but it was pretty much useless when it came to playing any type of chord.

Spending the weekend running around Monterey and Carmel does not suck. Yay wine! And sex! And beer! And sex!
4 litres of beer yesterday. It wasn't actually that much. Half at lunch, half watching f1 qualifying, half at the bar, one at a beer hall, another one at a beer hall, and half at he last beer hall. The room wasn't even spinning that much. Also kuhjager, you can tell her "bork bork bork!"
Any original Gibson is a solid guitar. Mahogany back with a maple cap. Les Paul (supposedly) said to make them gold "to make it look expensive." It was not a popular guitar at all when it came out, and that's why production slowed down in the late 50's (making the '59 the most sought LP, since there was only a thousand or so made. It wasn't considered an amazing guitar until the late '60s when the rock guys like Townshend, Clapton, Frampton, etc. started playing it. In fact, it wasn't even made from 1960-67. In the early 80's, Gibson started weight relief in their bodies, which were swiss-cheese style holes in the mahogany to reduce the weight (this year they came out with "modern weight relief" - more carved out spots, but still pretty solid). Now, on the LP Standard, they chamber the body, pretty much hollowing out the mahogany anywhere except where support is needed for the hardware. Because of this, you can figure out from the tag at the store, without picking it up, how the weight's gonna be: LP Standard - chambered body, lighter guitar. LP Traditional, LP Custom - weight relieved, not as light, but more sustain Vintage Original Spec (VOS) - solid body, heavy as hell but great sustain. This is the kind of stuff I need to know to show a customer that I know my shit, when it all comes down to what feels right. But at least I can explain to you why it feels right. Now, who wants to buy a guitar? I actually had a customer today use an excuse on me I hadn't heard yet. He came in to sign up for financing on a guitar over $3,000. As I hand him the credit application, he says "you know, I just got approved for a mortgage on a new house, and I'm not supposed to apply for any type of credit card until it's closed." It hit me off-guard because I've never bought a house, so I didn't know how to counter it. Then, after he left, I thought that it was weird that somebody who was waiting to close on a house, and knew not to apply for a card, would even go to a store for a guitar that he can only afford with financing. I think I'm going to start going to other stores and fucking with salesmen; I've definitely experienced all the ways to do it.
Since we're discussing guitars... Spoiler . I used to lust after this in my youth. I don't play nearly enough, or well enough, to justify the cost, though.
