Post things worth sharing that don't need a whole thread

It's a long title, but you can't really post a new thread for every little thing you want to say, or every time you want to ask a question.

All start, and even though my questions are music related, this is off topic, they don't have to be

First off, i was wondering what kind of finish is on the bass in these videos, or whatever you would call it to get the body to look like that; so i have a general idea of what to say i want when i order my G&L.
at 30-32 seconds oan see it well:

at 2:10-2:17

Not to mention these are great songs and you all should check em out anyway

Also, i was wondering if these is a specific reason why i can hear certain overtones more than others on a specific note. Like on the open G string, i can clearly hear the fifth, but when i play a Bb, i can more clearly hear the third....and as I'm typing this i realized they are the same note, D....

Earlier today, my betta went ballistic trying to attack the straw wrapper I held up to his tank. Kinda funny for a minute or two.

That is all.

When you said 'All start' did you mean *I'll start*?
Not correcting you, just wondering.
Oh- and to contribute, my 4-yr-old daughter says I have bad breath. I guess that's what I get for teaching her to tell the truth.

The best thing you can do with a big bag of chips is to cut off the top section of the empty bag once or twice during the duration of eating the bag. That way it's much easier to reach the chips and you don't get your arm covered in cheese/salt dust reaching into the bag, plus it takes up less room in the cupboard.

I recently tried to calculate the radius of my bass neck near the nut. I measured (c=1.625") across the nut and measured (h=0.625") from the back of the neck to a spot in between the nut and first fret. I plugged these numbers into the formula:

r=(c^2+4h^2)/8h

and the result was less than an inch.

"You can't poop standing up, Spencer. It will miss the potty and go on the floor." "No mom, that is my super power!" 3 is a priceless age.

Today is my anniversary and I'm on talkbass. This says one of two things about my marriage:
1) It's going down the crapper.
or
2) I have a very understanding wife who would rather I spend my time in the basement (gear/ office) playing bass or playing on the computer so she doesn't have to smell my farts.
