I love this. If this board is still around in 50 or 60 years, the "hot retort" to questions like the above is gonna be, "John Turner only needed 7 strings"....

BTW that post was directed at Klimbim, my arch-rival earlier in the thread.

Apparently reading is not one of the skills in her setup.

yeah, although some thick-spectacled little malcontent will chime in with a whiny - "but he played an 8 on a few songs".

Did you have any particular "thick-spectacled little whiny malcontent" in mind, or was that just a general kinda thing? I'm only asking because your description above doesn't narrow it down much.

Hey PUPSPEAK I didn't touch your banana, I used a mouse.

there's a few of 'em over in the BG sandbox. usually ~16 years old, although they've been known to be much older at times

Bananas? BANANAS??!??! I ask everyone to either bring your best game directly to the front of the rim or stay out of the paint, and you drive right smack up the middle with a bunch of BANANAS??!?!??!?? Geez, what kind of flame warriors ARE you guys anyway?

To recap:

SPAZ started the thread, and quickly got mashed to pulp for holding the opinion that BOWS R GAY and SO R U.

Then the thread got sidetracked and everyone was talking about McDonalds and spicy beanburgers.

Next, SLIMJIM and RHINESTONE GLADBAG got into a huge multipage LINDFIELDING contest about the nature of personal experiences and how to use smileys to taunt an opponent, which left the entire free world yawning and thinking that maybe the notion of cleaning the catbox was starting to look like big fun.

Then, PUFFGRUBBY started a diversionary tangent about arco on a swingmaster, which provoked a classic DONOSAUR ode to pithiness post, which led to much prolonged sillines from the peanut gallery.

The thread kind of dribbled along for a while, until PASTRYQUEEN18 tried to stir the pot with a watered-down rant against electronic amplification, which brought FLAT HEADSTONE and PALE SMURF (aka - the "FLAT and PALE show" ) back into the fray.

At the this point, the regulars were begging for a mercy flush, and I asked people to either step it up or step it out. And what do you guys come up with?

Bananas.

What would Dikembe say to anyone bringing dancing bananas into the paint? I'm guessing that he'd shake his head back and forth, waggle his right index finger, and respectfully request that you not bring your frail and somewhat anemic excremental material anywhere near the painted area of the floor.

I can't remember who said it, but I think the best reply in the whole thread was from some DBer or other who replied directly to SPAZ' original question with the beautiful and succinct phrase, "No. We only hate STUPID bassists. "

Well said, whoever you were. Thread closed.
