Chick VS Chick w/Bass: Six Shooter

Sorry I've been so quiet lately, just busy - but I've been lurking as much as possible to keep up with everyone.

Tat, can't wait to see pics of Germany.

I'm gonna try to attach the pic hubby did for you, (he used the black and white photo as his inspiration) - I'm not sure if I can make the attachment work with this file - if I mess this up, I'll try again....

That's awesome PA! Again, props to your hub's skillz! Thanks for sharing him with us. :D

For real, I was going to email you today to check on you and say Hi. Glad you checked in! :smug:
 
I suggest you google "left hand position on the upright" and just look at the videos and photos. The key is to keep your thumb on the back of the neck, and curl your fingers around in like a "C" or claw shape. You can't just lay your fingers.

The right hand is more forgiving, there are better rather than worse ways to do it, but you're not going to hurt yourself experimenting.

Alright...I am so immature...I giggled the whole way through this...someone really should smack me......on the @$$ with a spoon. :p

@Auto-that's a weird situation...good luck...maybe just show up with your good old horizontal bass anyway. :hmm:

Aww, how sweet of you to be thinking of me. :)

When I saw Tat's drawing, it made me laugh thinking of her slinging that bass over her shoulder like she's preparing for a zombie attack or something! She looks pretty hardcore, too - the cartoon Tat could kick my cartoon's ass any day of the week...
 
Thor! Its like you read my DB thread down to the letter lol

I am actually telepathic. Well, if you don't buy that try explanation B:

I've been here a long time. I have lurked in The Dungeon. I have seen the Brimstone and felt the Fire. I have swum in the River of Mictronal Death in a hybrid Boat with a Carved Bottom and Plywood Sides

I have had to look up the phrase Obstreperous Polysyllabication whilst backing slowly away from the post button.

Based on that I can predict with a fair amount of accuracy the responses without actually having to go look them up.

PA, it's awesome, and I've changed my AV to it. But there will be no me kicking your butt - we're gonna team up and take out the zombies together. Just remember the rules..... :D Oh. Yeah. And we're taking the monkey with us.
 
Update from Deutschland....It's 11:44 PM here, and I just got in from dinner a little while ago. Today went to the office (it overlooks the Rhine), then we went to Castrop-Rauxel to one of our plants and I spent the afternoon being ogled by hard working German men because I put on the steel toes and asked smart questions about machinery just like the guys did. I also laughed at them when they made a comment about why they'd never hire a woman in that plant. It's a much different culture here, that's for sure.

Highlights from the day before I collapse into bed:

* We went on the autobahn. There is no speed limit on certain parts. We were on one of those parts. Did you know a VW Passat can go at LEAST 230 km/hr? For those of you who don't speak metric, that's about 142 mph. I can only say that I wish I had been driving. It was awesome.

* We ate dinner at El Chango Argentinian Steakhouse. Yum! Link Removed There was a spoon on the wall. And a clock made of spoons and forks, and a clock that ran backward - and the pictures are below.

* I saw the music store we're going to on Wednesday night. OMG!!! It's 4 stories tall and the warehouse attached to it by a catwalk takes up at least 2 city blocks (and it's 3 or 4 stories tall, too).

* Tomorrow's a late morning, so I'm hitting the gym for an extra hour in the morning because they have a tanning bed, a wet sauna and a dry sauna, and these awesome heated chaise lounges that can only feel absolutely amazing on the achy bits. If I'm not feeling spectacular after that, I'm on death's door.

* Tomorrow we go to Biebisheim to see another factory. That should be good.

I was told I would do bad in a battle against zombies... My friend read the zombie survival guide... my ideas were just what the book said not to do!

Apparently chainmail can stop a Samurai sword.. but not a zombie :confused:

Spinning in a fast circle with a large sword drawn is not as effective as it seems....

A church makes a better hide out than a Home Depot... (I would certainly have a ton fun in a home depot....) I believe due the high windows in a church.
