  1. it's the "oops i accidentally left this one functional button unbottoned on the sleeve of my tailored jacket" of playing the guitar behind your head
  2. Third fiddle. #1 is Adirondack spruce for that kind of tonewood but Sitka is next up for sure.
  3. At least when you boil a frog it eventually fucking dies
  4. Driving through the busy intersection near our house this morning. A voice from the backseat - “We passed this light yesterday. The police did not come to get mommy because they were not here.”
  5. Crazy that they’re all gone, although I guess in a way also not. If Paul Westerburg thinks you’re going too hard you’re probably going too hard (Johnny’s Gonna Die). [edit] 75 is probably a good run for Buster I keep meaning to go back and watch that New York Doll documentary.
  6. Ah man that’s a bummer
  7. do we have this on this page yet?
  8. On some little kid stuff - dads and donuts day at preschool. She missed a few things (crunchy carrots lol and I’ve never played a down of real football) but I’m proud of what she got right here and proud of her little signature
  9. this is interesting. obviously playing in a band and touring across the country in a van and doing shit like that is not "serving" but I'm often glad that I did something interesting and something that broadened my perspective a bit while I was young. At my last job I was talking to one of the sales directors and he mentioned he spent some time as a commercial fisherman when he was in his twenties and we connected a bit over having had a... I dunno, cowboy phase before settling into corporate lives. There are times when, of course I regret opportunities I missed when I was deep inside the bottle, and then related but separate I wonder "what if" about people who started with a focused direction really early. And there are also times I think about people who go off to college at 18 for career prep and go sequentially right through the steps and are in the burbs in a quarter zip and khakis with 2.5 kids in their mid twenties, and i do not at all regret fucking up and bouncing around and doing some cowboy shit for a while as I figured things out. And apart from just spice of life stuff, I do think that the broader experience and perspective is both useful and helps me enjoy life better.
  10. Could be highly nothing - someone posted a thing on a matchless facebook group that has since been pulled down, but it looked like the source saying he had died was someone who would know him personally and the source saying he was alive was also someone close, so I'm curious if he's in bad shape. Hopefully he's OK. He is back at bad cat -
  11. Rumors (apparently false) are spreading that Mark Sampson died. Not sure if they’re currently false or categorically false, but man that’ll add to the already fairly baseless (comparative to later years) hype on early Matchless amps.
  12. the gymnastics involved -
  13. quick read too - it looks thick because they made it a board book so it would be accessible to bassists
  14. Not that you could really beat off to, unless dancing babies were.. you know
  15. I was in high school when this came out. If they had had gifs like this back then I would have burned it into my crt monitor
  16. I should ask dad if Peepaw always carried a Buck. Dad did, and so those knives are basically what a pocket knife “is” to me. I have a couple of those kershaw shuffles in the house that I like for a handy utility knife, I have that blur and I’m sure that the spyderco and more tactical looking knives are great and everything, but it’s that buck with the wood on the handle and the simple locking mechanism that I want in my pocket. And right now I’m not regretting finally ordering another 505 - it didn’t take that long to get, and the size is right. I can’t feel it in my pocket without reaching for it. They also have the 503 and the 501 (the 501 being the biggest) which I’ve carried at various points. The 503 I think is the same size as the 55.
  17. Well I’m in uncharted territory. I don’t remember weighing myself between 70 pounds in 3rd grade and my max of 200+change in high school. I didn’t weigh myself with any regularity when I slimmed down a bit as a senior and into college, but I know that I haven’t seen the scale dip below 170 at any point. Finally got there this morning after a frustrating week. Not sure what my goal is anymore other than to continue to weigh in every day and figure out where/what/how of maintenance. There’s still far to lose but I should figure out at least some sort of exercise plan. I’d welcome starting points for a… “I’m not trying to get shredded and I have almost literally no time but I’m interested in a fitness routine” person. I’m generally interested in doing cycling at some point but probably now I’m curious if there’s a quick kettle bell workout or something like that I could find room for to just try and get a little definition going.
  18. This forum is for assholes by assholes - it’s our nature, it’s going to be like this in every thread where there’s any excuse for it. People have made some comments on how gofundmes can be scams or ways for people who don’t really need money to grift, people have commented on how he should be fairly wealthy at this point given his nfl career. I think overall we’re all really hoping he makes a full recovery and gets back to living his best life. And I think we mostly appreciate him for his time with the program and his moments shining on the field.
  19. i grabbed one of those and jammed on it for a while at a guitar center like 8 years ago and I've kicked myself for not buying it. Even with the gold top, given enough time I'll eventually get around to buying one of those specials.
