  1. Back in my partying days, I used to go toobing every summer down on the Guadalupe to kick off the school year. This carried on until way longer than it should have. We would camp at this place called "O. Henry's Hideaway." There was a guy there who ran karaoke for the campers on Saturday nights. You couldn't play pool in the O. Henry rec room because this guy's sleeping bag and all his possessions occupied said table. I asked O. Henry's wife about it once and she grudgingly said he was the son of one of their great business associates. But the associate had since died, and they didn't quote know how to get rid of the aimless son. Anyhow, Mr. Karaoke fucking lived for Whitesnake. Being the karaoke host, he took it upon himself to make sure that not just one song of the night, but like every third song was Whitesnake/Deep Purple/David Coverdale. And this wasn't so the camp guests could be cajoled into singing them. Heeeellll naw. He knew if he wanted it done properly he had to do it himself. This guy would come out in full 80s moussed hair, tight leather pants (it was August in Texas), and studded belt and sing every god, damned, one of the songs. This was late 90s/early 2000s. It was as if in his mind a talent scout from 1986 was going to come back in time to O. Henry's Hideaway and whisk him away to the Whisky-A-Go-Go and the Sunset Strip. Like his commitment was 1000%. You have not lived until you've drifted to sleep to the dulcet tones of "In the Still of the Night" after a long down of pounding cool ones on the river. So thank you David Coverdale for inspiriting my all time favorite karaoke experience. /coolstorybro
  2. “Find me 16,000 votes.”
  3. Once again we play the game: real or not real?
  4. Soooo, when are we getting just the right post from MTG all up in here?
  5. They’re going to give him a medal.
  6. This is how they suck you in.
  7. I could watch her a lot.
  8. There are real Zeros in museums you idoit. There are only a handful flying and they’re in private hands. They are hardly original museum artifacts. You going to tell people they can’t fly their own airplanes they spent fortunes building or restoring?
  9. Aren't we all? He'll go looking a lot better than say, Tom DeLay. Remember that pos? Exactly. If you choose a hill to die on, literally, I think protecting the victims of trafficking isn't an altogether bad one.
  10. The fix was in.
  11. They will not. If it's anything like the Les Paul auction, they will go for amounts that do not reflect the reality of what they are. Rather, they will go sky high for the opportunity to twist the same knobs as their hero Joe. I'm going to sign up anyhow though. Where there's life, there's hope.
  12. Click on whatever you like and find out. The sizes are there. The Texas jersey is a find.
  13. Holy cow. I bid on some of Les Paul's sound panels back during the LP auction. Looks like I lost out to Joe Walsh. No wonder I couldn't compete.
  14. Potential cause.
  15. Another view of the fire in Niznekamsk: https://liveuamap.com/en/2025/13-november-12-big-fire-reported-at-nizhnekamsneftekhim-chemical
  16. How is this even possible in this thread, much less the world? /obvs
  17. Neg for Jeff Tweedy? Your only taste is in your mouth.
  18. Saw some great guitar gear at the Jeff Tweedy show the other night. Got my curiosity aroused (see the Concerts thread). First Sima Cunningham got some really nice tones out of one of these bad boys. Essentially a scaled down ES-175 (though judging from Reverb, somehow on a par in price?). https://reverb.com/item/86852634-early-50-s-gibson-es-140 Then Jeff played one of these, which is just crazy to look at. Some discussion about it here: https://jefftweedy.substack.com/p/gear-talkin-21-kawai-moonsault?fbclid=IwY2xjawOC3A5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFySTNISmFOZzlNbEpBN21oc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHhVs6k9DblyuCk0NkAGUAfkBogEeaA0jxUmfazYxDHxFuX1iase4HQQ-s95D_aem_covuXY3Js7gGOFaEoXWwkw&triedRedirect=true
  19. That’s a beautiful guitar, but let’s keep the crazy talk to a minimum.
