  1. I haven't thought about this song in a while, until this thread, this morning
  2. For a second, I thought about responding with a Mick Dundee photo captioned, "Job's taken." But although my usual stance is "funny is funny," this thread doesn't need that levity right now.
  3. Or, let's put it in terms of the things the republican party used to pretend to care about: limited government. Do you know how many transgender people are competitive swimmers in this country? I made a rough calculation at one point and, to no one's surprise, it is an infinitesimally small number; it is a small fraction of one percent. Why in the hell does the so-called party of limited government place this issue toward the tip of the spear, much less include it on its policy platform at all? We all know the real answer.
  4. FFT
  5. Thanks. Text group I'm in was discussing Pitzker this a.m. Now I know why. As for the rest, it all seems reasonable. As the Zen Master said, "We'll see."
  6. I'm on a cable news diet. Can you summarize? Because I need some positive news.
  7. And you said: Quick, young lady! Get those pants off!
  8. Sorry. Best we can do now is Hole in the Wall.
  9. Well, these two ding-dongs dragged a bag of "organic" fertilizer into the house (not sure where they found it) through the dog door and spread it out all over the kitchen to see what they could grow. That was a fun lunch break for dad.
  10. West Campus is cavernous. I miss the tree lines. I did discover that, somehow, Treehouse Apartments (my senior year apartment), managed not to burn down and still exists.
  11. About that, the limited traffic allowed down Speedway has been a growing concern, particularly with the UPS trucks, in particular, almost running over several people each day is one thing I've heard can be a bit terrifying.
  12. We also would have excepted Wank-Panzers or, my personal favorite, the Incel-Camino.
  13. He who hasn't said, "Fire rearward missile," or at least thought it whilst on the shitter is not a child of the 80s. No, excuse me while I steam us a runway.
  14. Mighty fine! Is that corn casserole? I didn't see that option when I was there.
  15. To be honest, I almost never use one, particularly since I've moved to smaller boards. But I keep one around because it's cool, valuable, and I paid $60 for it in the 90s. Sorry for the glare on this shot. This is the last iteration of my "big" board. I'm not running much compression. Just enough to give me some snap (left/bottom knob is sustain, right/top knob is output). The two drives are routed after the Ross. One is drive knob down. The other is drive knob probably around two. It's the Anastasio setup, even though I wasn't playing any Phish tunes through it.
  16. I didn't start until I got into tweed amps. To own a 5e3 Deluxe is to get used to playing with your volume on the guitar. It makes such a difference, not just for volume, but for overall clean to grit. And I'm talking most beautiful Fender clean tone to the gnarliest, compressed, distorted tone you can imagine without pedals. You can do the same thing by running a compressor before drives/dirt. Volume stays the same, but the volume knob is now your drive/dirt knob. On the tone knob, I'm always trying to dial back the ice pick on a clean bridge channel if I can. Just a hair though. On the neck, I'm full on Freedom Rock!
  17. No channel switching for me, although I'd like to put an A/B/C on the Harvard's 3 inputs for a little nice/nicer/nicest boost. But I'm a volume knob rider as well.
  18. Presumably heads with a large cabinet? I have the Victoria 4x10, and while it can get loud (I've played it un-mic'd in a 1,200 seat auditorium), it definitely has some hair on it past 4/12 on the dial. The LPTT, while nominally the same wattage, is just a different animal, albeit a volume I just don't need these days, if ever.
  19. It's not a problem. It's a rescue. plus /yes, I removed the Lil Dawg tag and replaced with a Harvard tag because I'm vain. The rest of my boo-teek amps kept their tags because they're not ridiculous looking. Despite it all, Jim puts together amazing amps.
  20. I have a 57 Tweed Twin reissue (Low Power LOL) that stays clean (with just a bit of hair) far past comfortable at-home levels. My old Bassman 100 would shake the windows before it would give anything up. You're going to love the SFT. That pedal through my Tweed Twin is instant Altamont Stones. Just spectacular.
  21. Intriguing, but I need to keep what little hearing I have left. Plus, I don't have time to play all the amps I currently have in my guitar-amp rescue. I assume it's an old one? My wife never would believe another one followed me home.
  22. Nice. Next do #4 Porky's Demise.
  23. So much is about mixing it together. The superior burger move (Hamburgers by Gourmet, Houston, TX 1980s) is to mix the shredded lettuce with a bit of mayo and shredded sharp cheddar and put it on the bottom bun. Patty next, ketchup pickles, tomato. Mix yellow mustard and chopped onion and put that on the top bun.
