How about some Bobbleheads? :D









Here's John at the factory in 2006.

He couldn't understand why he didn't get any sounds from that 4001C64! :smug:

Is that the Broadway cast of "The Lion King"?

I'm willing to bet there's more $$ in hair "product" being displayed than the average workers weekly wage. :)



Awwwww, crap. I forgot to quote @Morrighan photo.

No worries...

I knew which pic you were reefering to without the Quote!
:rolleyes:
 
Here ya go just for you. You can swing by anytime to play on it.

Hmm. Mine had the bridge cover on it. A little extra weight on the opposite end. I don't remember it diving. I used to double sax or flute while the keyboard man would cover the bass line. IIRC, it stayed put.
i have no neck dive on my 66 EB3, very comfortable little bass to play. I too had a Epiphone EB3 for a very short time, it too dived like... a submarine
 
I volunteered for sub duty but was rejected for being too tall and too near-sighted. I ended up as a sonar technician on a Destroyer so I kind of know from both bubblehead and skimmer viewpoints. By the way, all (US NAVY) bubbleheads are squids but not all squids are bubbleheads...:cool:

For one who's never been in the service, or in the service, sure do have a lot of contact over the years. My boss in those merry days as a Leica-swinging photographer saw me working for a former special forces colonel with four tours of duty in 'Nam. Was recruited by said bubblehead at a trade show. He and his accomplice looked like the cosa nostra in their sharkskin suits. Wow, the dress code there.
 
My rise in rank was kind of like an EKG. SR. SA. HA. HN. HM3. HN. HM3. HN. HM3. HM2. HM3. HM2. HM1. HMC. HMCS. 10 Times before the Master Chief Boards. Final promotion Retired 01/01/01. I am the only one in the Navy with that retirement date as it was a gift from my last CO. At least I was the last time I looked. It has been awhile.

Friday On My Mind

Los Straitjackets, a February 2020 concert. Good tone. Those masks must be very hot to wear.




It is interesting how wearing shorts on stage is frowned upon as unprofessional.

I do not recall any posts regarding wearing "masks"....

I just assume the reason for the masks is that they are either "FUGLY" or "fake wrestling" fanboys. :cool:

Hmmmm. David Robinson was a Bubblehead. Reason for the forehead scars.

Just noticed your screen name. Senior Chief Corpsman, huh? You would actually understand the supreme weirdness that was my career path in the Navy. I went SA -> ET3 -> ETSN - > HM3

ET to HM? Now that is quite a interesting career move. Not much soldering in the medical field. You must have been heavily in demand. Especially after the joint replacement popularity. Gotta fix those Zirc fittings somehow.
