Atypical Talkbass...

[Joe Nerve]

Not a word on here about banana stickers. I collect the cool ones.

A woman I eat lunch with at work puts them on my lunch box. I can take a picture later and show ya, but I just ate 4 slices of pizza plus half a spinach calzone and cant get off my couch right now.

No one ever talks about spilling the throat lozenges and the glycerine suppositories, at the same time, into the sink, and being unable to figure out which one goes back in which bottle.

Am I the only...

If there was anything about marbles here, it would be lost & found

A very rare fired clay marble pre 1900 is the bulls eye marble with a concentric ring pattern. I know an archeologist who knows everything about things ceramic.

Can you say “dwarf” any more?

If you're from Brooklyn. Yes.
If you're from Boston you say it with two syllables, i.e. d'warf.
Famous punchline.....Dwarf? I told her to go down on the wharf!!

Accordian repair

Don't be stupid. There's no such thing.
Why would anyone consent to fixing an accordian?

 

[2tonic]

Because they're afraid to get his palsy.

I had a palsy shirt once........



Or was that paisley......?
Oh well.

I googled the PC term for what I wanted to say, and that came up. Maybe it was a 2018 blog that appeared first?

I've always found the word Dwarf to be a bit weird, but that's because I grew up reading fantasy books and playing fantasy games, so to me Dwarves have always been an entirely different race of creatures.

I can’t stand the use of the term “Case-Candy.” My opinion on the issue is atypical....as far as I know.

What's the best wood for procreation?

Morning!

We Never hear about itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikinis.

See above. This is primary cause and effect.

Now I just died a little.......

 

[Davbassdude]

Mmmm, good stuff. Used to get it often in Seattle. Now I'm in NY, dont see it very much

How about a guy in Ithaca who might know a Violinist (fiddle player) name Frank and a guitarist (recently toured the Netherlands) named Rich (both excellent musicians) originally from the West Essex part of No. Jersey with whom I truly miss playing!

 

[MCF]

Wow, I thought I was the only person here who knew about Trot! How do you like your gig? I hear the top acts are pretty good jobs because they tour continuously for years.

To each their own as far as the music goes. Not my cuppa. But I enjoyed the first piece and some of the others, with the volume on mute.....

I share the same opinion. IMO, "case candy" terminology is ultra lame.

'Non-specific' or, less non-specifically, 'non-gonococcal,' are akin to atypical and yet, not so uncommon as you might think. But seldom mentioned — you just have to know where to look. Protect yourself regardless, from the unusual suspects.

A dwarf bass player is a ukulele player. Marbles is gambling. Gambling's out. Any mention of deep sea diving and the ban-hammer comes down, sure as eggs — even with the more refined scuba diving, you still run the risk. Pleasure comes at a cost.

Atopical Talkbass, on the other hand, can be very irritating — on any hand, really, and elsewhere, woe betide. On that count, you may be banned and admitted in the very same action — best avoided, at all costs. Just scratching the surface there. Some people simply can't help themselves. Time now for some soothing, typical, topical unguent — Talkbaste — and a good lie down

 

[Ellery]

Why not?

Not counting things that are against the rules, what are things we rarely or never hear about on Talkbass?

I can't think of much.

Dwarf bass players?

Scuba Diving?

Marbles. Nobody talks about marbles here.

Help?

Useful techniques and how to apply them?

Just by running a search, I have discovered that such esoteric topics as TS Eliot, fly fishing, nihilism, and neuroplasticity have all been referenced on TB. However, the intricacies of the asymmetry of monetary policy and Godel's incompleteness theorems have not. Tut tut!

I've also noticed that there has never been a thread entitled: "The P-bass - Leo's Biggest Mistake?"

 

[Outbush]

I did that for about ten years when the kids were younger. I've always been a defenseman. They're the bass players of the hockey team. Goalie's the drummer, of course. Forwards are all guitar players, noodling all over the ice. Occasionally you get a jazz man like Gretzky who stands out blowing his Charlie-Parker-like runs, or a trumpeter like Lemieux, but mostly forwards are guitar bangers. I've always appreciated creative puck-moving d-men who were like Jaco (Letang), but I'm more of a stay at home (deep in the groove) shut-down kind of guy.

I have no idea what this means

not being from a hockey part of the globe, ​

but it sounds sooo cool. I love it! Surely there is a blog in that.

They post on TB
When they should be at work,
Buying a P Bass,
Or doing a twerk

Twisting and gyrating
Playing their bass
Fingers and plectrums
Dancing in haste

 

[Relsom]

Can you say “dwarf” any more?

I think they prefer the term "little people".

 

[5StringBlues]

I found the perfect harmonica player!
