    I am useless to this website

    I am so damn useless to this site that my uselessness may be unrivaled. Most of you have probably never seen nor heard of me. I have 7 basses and 2 guitars - none of which I can play - that I bought many years ago. Many purchases were caused by my participation in this forum and at least one...

    Let's See Your Unique/Rare Production Model Basses

    Left, a Dean Stylist. Right, a Hofner HCT 500/5, Contemporary President, Stu Sutcliffe Special. The Hofner was one of only 8 made during an early production test run in one of the South Pacific factories. It came with factory defects in the wiring, but only 4 were shipped to the US. The...

    If you could have one artist stop by your house and sing, who would it be?

    I thought of her too, but it wasn't for the singing.

    If you could have one artist stop by your house and sing, who would it be?

    Carol King or Carly Simon. They both look like fun ladies to hang out with.

    Post a funnier picture than the one above - Parallel Universe Edition

    Perhaps you could say that they'd be in Jam, but that would be a rather unsavory.

    None of you know me. I'm just here hiding from the world right now.

    Best used car or crossover with AWD under $20k

    Have you looked at the Acura RDX? It's basically a Honda CR-V on steroids. I believe that 2013 and later came with a 6 banger. On models before 2013 they have a 4 banger turbo. I've been considering them for years, but I have to economize to the N-th degree 'til the mortgage and student...

    I hope Esperanza is not doing a Meshell!

    The ES tune posted by the OP reminded me of this tune from Bowie.

    Cutting Cable TV

    Stopped watching TV altogether back in the late 90s. Got connected to the internet (dial up) in 2000. I occasionally watch movies now from Amazon Prime and that's pretty much it. I have plenty to do around the house. No need for it.

    What an awesome fish I made last night!

    Wow... I haven't eaten bullhead since i was a young lad fishing in the Kinderhook Creek. As I recall the meat on the bullheads is slightly pink. And never a finer tasting fish was there except possibly for the occassional brook trout..... ah the days of my youth...

    The Ratio of Low Urinals is too High

    Yea. You would really relish the experience of digging and squatting over a cat hole. Likewise, on one deployment, during my time in the army, we had a roofless shipping container for a bathroom and the toilets were barrels cut in half. They were topped with rough hewn plywood and we had to...
