Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

George Carlin did not refer to himself as an old fart... he was an old f***

I was the TD (technical director) for a show maybe 10 years back and I had a problem with a kiddie band that wasn't following the house rules (during sound check the kid kept lighting up inside the theatre after 2 warnings). Third time I shut the PA down house lights came up, i walked down to the stage and told the kid that sound check was over until he put the cig. out. He thought I was kidding but I just stood there while he put it out and walked back to the stage. His bandmates asked him what was wrong (as if they didn't know) and he said that the "old f***" wouldn't let him smoke. I told him that it was "MR. Old F***" , and he didn't want to push me any farther or they would be taken off the show. His bandmates took it seriously and had a chat with him outside. He was much better behaved the rest of the day.

G'dambid blood thinners! I've spring a leak. At least it's my right hand and my bass body is red. Keepin' on. If my wife were here, she'd be tripple anti bioing it plus bandages and all sorts of poopie. Of course, if she were here, I wouldn't be half crocked not cut my self. How the hell did I do that? Maybe a bottle cap. Now, back to practicing and murdering my liver...

I'm with you in spirit, bruddah! :cigar:
 
I can't even see where the cut was. I had to stop and hold a paper on it towel for ten minutes.

Edit: I found it. Two little pin holes on my knuckle, spaced about the same as bottle cap ridges. I'm writing this one off as a serious drinking accident.
