What's the best bow for metal?

Bowflex?

What's a good brand of cigarettes to smoke while I stand around brooding at a jam session or a buddy's hit? I've been using Newports, but they are a little scratchy under the tonsils.

It depends on what you're wearing. I used to smoke Newports with my green plaid suit.
I couldn't stand them but the box looked great with the coat.

Dude, German.

Two points to be made here:

1. There is more than one way to access the TB forums. I've only ever used one way: I visit the site's main listing of forums and I scan down the page for activity. That takes a nanosecond longer with each new forum we add. I might miss some new activity working this way, but I usually don't feel the need to see absolutely every new piece of business; and,
2. There's something or somebody forcing you to read these forums?

I get it, and I tell myself these things everyday.

I wish there was some kind of "potpourri mode" where everything just kind of comes up all together. Maybe the vBulletin folks'll do that in the future.

EDIT: Hey, I just realized you can do a "New Posts mode", but it throws in all that EB stuff... I don't know if that's changeable by some kind of forum hierarchy switcheroo or what. Forget I said anything.

I'm out of rosin. Can I just use maple syrup?

Yes, you can. Heat it on the stove for while until it gets thick enough that it takes about 10 seconds for a drip to come off a spoon. At this point add a little flour, mix well and pour into a foil cup and immediately put it in the fridge to cool.

I do this all the time, it works just like pops and it smells delicious.

Give it a try and let me know how you like it....
