    From what I've seen of MAGA, none of their ilk is subtle enough to pull that off. The only sleeper we've seen so far is Droolin' Donald.

    He's not dead. He's just an asshole.

    He not dead. He only sleeping.

    At a certain point, long ago, I started buying the American-made Fenders and Gibsons because I could always resell them and not take much of a hit, particularly if I bought them used. Spending more out of the gate tended to yield more when I grew tired of it and wanted to sell. The problem eventually became that I liked what I bought and didn't want to sell it. My only recent experience buying a guitar made in China was a beautiful, Gold-Top Casino. What a looker. But that damned thing sounded like I was playing a cigar box. The only time it sounded good was when I ran it through my cranked Victoria Bassman. But everything sounds good through a cranked bassman. I think the lesson for me was, as with most things, try it before you buy it. But I've gotten luckier far more often with American-made Fenders and Gibsons buying sight-unseen. YMMV.

    My guess is she has better things to do.

    Let he who hasn't returned from foggy London town with a pair of "Mind the Gap" thong-panties for his wife cast the first stone.

    I feel like those old Kustom upholstered amps are standard issue at every low-turnover music store in Texas.

    And see, I see 45 watt Matchless bass amp and wonder what a guitar sounds like through it.

    Oh, he has plans. And they don't involve you, Jerry. He doesn't give a damn about you. But keep working hard (not like you have a choice at this point). He'll need more money from you soon.

    Well, he'll have plenty of time to work on his putz.

    That's going to drive him nuts. I approve.

    Definitely don't ignore that. Mental health is health too. The Surly collective can only do so much. But we're mostly a bunch of lawyers, not doctors.

    I got the second shingles vaccine Thursday after work. I took Friday off to recuperate but ended up having to drive my kids all over the place. So my rest was sporadic. I did manage to sleep in until 11 this morning and feel like myself again. That vaccine is no fun from a side-effects perspective. But I'll take it over actual shingles.

    Left to my devices tonight with family away. This was at Walmart of all places for $20. Who was I to refuse.

    Magda is an amazing character in that movie.

    If I'm honest, it looks like he just took a subservient role and let TFG walk by. I mean, to hell with Trump, but there's so much blatantly stupid behavior out there. This is not the hill to die on. /when keeping it real goes wrong

    I'll take your word for it. [HUMBLEBRAG]My wife (no pics) worked for the Chapter 11 Trustee for the Eastern District for 11 years back when she was a new/not so new attorney and did a lot of trustee support work, in addition to the cases the firm was pushing for consumers. She's a real natural, and I don't understand much about what she does. But she's 99% off the cuff with it after two decades of it. I've been practicing as long and know some things about a lot of things. But even though she never specialized and has done all sorts of things, that's her jam.[/HUMBLEBRAG]
