Me too....The origins of the pups seems a well kept secret though.....Unless someone knows better....

Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Oh dear.......
What else were you expecting from Dominos?That stuff is usually best for desperate college students.
When do the B-O-T gig bags start to show up at the stores?
Did it have tacks on the hammers? And, just exactly what kind of hall was it, really? Like, one of them Old West dance halls ?
I have a list of food I will never eat again. Dominos is now there.
My wife designs cloths and has alway sewn. The old machine doesn’t have enough power for thick leather. Every amp gets a cover. Straps. A lot of bags for cables and other gear.
As I recall, the KofC piano did not have tacks, but it did have most of the strings. Old uprights have a way of being neglected.
Talking about replying to yourself......
A tip for my brothers and sisters of the Grump....
If you wake up one morning somewhere in the British Isles or Ireland and decide that you'd like some of this delicious condiment in your breakfast Bloody Mary.....
Don't make the common mistake of calling it....Wursesstershire Sauce.....
The county that it was named for, is indeed, Worcestershire...BUT....It's pronounced Woostershire.....no....really!.....And if ask for it by name in a bar or restaurant, we usually drop the "shire" and simply call it Worcester (Wooster) sauce.....
You will, no doubt, want to shower me with gifts for this piece of potentially life changing information but really...I do this for you guys with love......
Oh!....fergot....just in case you're feeling that at last, the puzzle of the Worcester sauce is finally solved......Shire is pronounced Sheer.....Ha!....

I'd love to shower you with gifts and praise, but, unfortunately, I'm too busy singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"!
Wheeeeeee-eeee-eeee-eeee-e-ee-umbumbaway!
Funny, I always knew this tune as "A Swingin' Safari" cause that's what it was called on the recording my parents had of it. Trying to remember the artist.

With a busy house, it sounds like it’s a money grab. If they don’t push, they’ll never know what they can get away with. Maybe it’s time to anonymously call in the health inspectors.
I’ve seen headliners insist at the last minute that other bands pay to use their PA and sound guy, which was required.
Found it!
Edit: to add....1962, and mono to boot.
Me neither....they break yer teeth.....(Drum roll.....P'Toosh!...."I thanyawl")
Thanks - somehow I just knew you'd have the answer.
And to repeat my thanks - I have my prints and I am a success once more!
See? It's like the Disney song:"Someday My Prints Will Come". I'll go to my room now.And to repeat my thanks - I have my prints and I am a success once more!
Well due to my inconsistency on Fridays I've had very few Friday Reports on the Weekend and Appendages Accounted For. I think some of the GOF's that no longer come here were military vets and they appreciated the tone of the request.
@beans-on-toast USB FAT32 drives are great due to their universal compatibility cross OS. But at work we only use Windows Pro/Enterprise. And I back up profiles that are larger than the 4GB built in limitation of FAT32. So I use NTFS but there's some new format called exFAT. I don't even know what exFAT is! I get a lot of gifts in the IT industry and it seems the most popular gift now is a 16GB USB drive with the company name on it. I remember just a few years ago the average gift USB was 4GB because of the capacity limitation.
We had Jimmy Dean sausage patties (hand made), "riced" cauliflower, eggs and low carb thin bagels. It was a pretty low carb breakfast and we didn't feel that we missed anything. The riced cauliflower has bits of carrots and some peas in it. I pan fried it until crisp then Carey asked for a squeeze of fresh lemon on it. Delicious! Since we saved carbs an calories we now can in good conscience eat a few Valentines chocolates.

You're a Von Trapp?!?!?!?
They look like EMGs, to me. Bona fide guitar pickups.....The origins of the pups seems a well kept secret though.....Unless someone knows better....
That's the result of someone successfully going on a diet............
I am going to join GonePlaid in his room, now......... Hey, no funny business, GP!
I don't know what I'm doing amid all you silly idiots but I like it!! 
In the midst of searching for ways to get my photos printed it was suggested that I use my phone. Dutifully I connects the iPhone4S to my computer only to find it will no longer hold a charge. I took it fo a Virgin Mobile store, my carrier, and walked away with a brand new iPhone7. I think I'm set for a while now. I can even Text to the UK. I wish I knew how to text! Usually I just ask Siri to do it - seems to work better that way! LOL

Before there was riced cauliflower, getting riced meant you were on your way out of the church for a bit of [your imagination] Riced cauliflower and carrots will never be the same.

When you ask your server for that bottle that should be on the table but isn't, it's fun to add as many new syllables as one can manage to Worcestershire. It's best when they join in and we all have at it with the word.

Community band is excellent. Reasonably certain I don't have the reading chops.

Forgot how much time I spent in and around the stage. Forgot how we sang carols at the old folks home.

Saturday Reprise
You always hear of people joining band but can't really play. In a recently posted video, Ed King talked about how he was just leaning to play guitar when Strawberry Alarm Clock was recording their first album. He was much better when they got to their second album and even more so by the time he joined Lynyrd Skynyrd. Tina Weymouth was another example. Her friends pleaded with her to join them and form the Talking Heads. It was more important for them to have a like minded friend in the band than someone who could actually play.
An interesting tribute to her. A musician and songwriter that could.
As an aside, Tina's dad recently passed away just shy of his 103rd birthday. His name was Ralph Weymouth. A Vice-Admiral, he was a vetran of WWII. The Korean War, and The Vietnam War. In Vietnam he commanded Anti-Submarine Warfare Group 3 in support duties in the Tonkin Gulf. Keeping the big ships safe. He held the distinction of being the oldest living graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy.
Tina was one of eight children. Some siblings went into journalism. Her brother is a known architect. His one time mother in law was Katharine Graham, who oversaw the Washington Post from 1963 to 1991. A tumultuous time before journalism died.

Nope they have been shown to NOT be EMG's.....
Forget looks....They, by most accounts, look nothing like the pups that they are based/converted/whatever from...
