Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[RandM]

Ours are much more polite - the native honey bees don't have stings and at one place we lived the house was cut in to the side of a hill with a loungeroom which had
windows opening to the cut on one side.

That had a colony of "Burrow Bees" - very big, loud Bumbly types they were, though very polite - they'd take a short cut through the house from the lounge through the house to the back (kitchen) door and politely wait for you to open the door to let them out, and if we weren't in the kitchen they'd come and find you, bumble around in front of your face and then lead you back there so you could : )

Maurie.

Everyone I hope you get better, all this talk of honey is giving me warm fuzzies. I feel a lotta love in this room right now!

Speaking of, so this guy is laying on his couch and he hears his wife say, "honey, what would you like for dinner--beef, chicken, or lamb, love?"

The hubby is all warm and smiling and says, "I'll take chicken sweetheart."

The wife answers back, "Yer gettin peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner. I was talking to the dog......" runs and ducks.....

If you're referring to anything else, I should be able to at least count to 11, the closer we get to the weekend... .

I hope that's not 11 toes!!!!

Friday call in-- @Passinwind @BadExample @ric426 @Stumbo @agedhorse @Al Kraft @RoadRanger @Ken Morgan @Old P Bass Guy @beans-on-toast @Spidey2112
Please report in that you woke up with all fingers and toes this morning.

Been in meetings all day covering topics ranging from advanced tools for national and international disaster planning and response to multi-force/multi-asset C4ISR operations in cyber-contested environments.

I'm genuinely looking forward to playing some tunes this weekend. Some days it's just more fun keeping up with music related technology than "other technologies"...and it's almost always easier! I used to just feel like an analog guy in an increasingly digital world, now it's more like a blockhead in a block-chain world.

When I was a kid my Mum kept a couple of bee hives. The honey right out of the comb was sooo sweet. I would help her to look after the hives. It was interesting learning bee husbandry although, at the time, I was afraid of getting stung!

Just in:

I gave away my original copy years ago. I got it from a trade from a HS friend. Then when he visited me in the 90's, he freaked out when he found it in my LP collection. So I just let him keep it. It had scratches and someone at a party spilled grenadine all over the inside of the cover. Found this one for peanuts, no scratches, just a few clicks. It's probably from the original pressing, because it's a cut out. Actually a drill out. Has an about 1/4" hole drilled through one corner. That doesn't bother me in the least. I'm not a real record collector; I just happen to have a couple thousand LP disks. This copy sounds great. Played it a couple times already.



OMFUG!!!

Speaking of CBGB’s reminds me of Blondie’s Heart of Glass and how it was made. The punk crowd hated what they did.

Interesting story how the song was put together. Old school.

 

[BadExample]

Yah, the punks hated them, but the lady went from the Hot Punk Rocker to the Wealthy Hot Disco Queen overnight

 

[beans-on-toast]

The creativity involved in the music production process always fascinates me. It can be more interesting that the song itself.

Yooz guys should lurk around some pro audio boards then. I used to, when pro engineering, audio production, all that was my livelihood. Some of the old timers at some of those places recorded guys like Sinatra..Zepplin...ZZ Top...name it...and if you read/search enough you’ll find exactly how they did some of the classic all time recordings .

Ken, you retire from hassling the kids at the school? It's been real nice talkin' to you Ken. Real nice talkin' to you...

I did...had enough of em. Full time Geezer/mucus generator now.

I did...had enough of em. Full time Geezer/mucus generator now.

Yup. You can't give them a proper smack down these days, so what's the point?

 

[Stumbo]

I did...had enough of em. Full time Geezer/mucus generator now.

And Jack of No Trades!

Watching Ferris Beuller's Day off. Does anyone remember how sweet and pretty the girls were back then? Did their hair-- wore dresses and stockings-- were very feminine... but strong.... And we as young turks dressed nice... dress jacket with jeans and a white t-shirt-white sneakers... but we always had nice hair. And we were POLITE! Geez I miss those days. I'm thankful I can relive those days through a good sized flat screen and Netflix or Amazon Prime. I really miss the old days and I mourn for the days where girls were girls (and sexy girls) and guys were guys and gentlemen.....



I think what I miss the most is our identity. We could be cool with rock and roll. We didn't have to talk like urban gangstas and call our girlfriends nasty names... we had identity. Now everyone want's to breakdance like they bad or something.. what happened to our identity. Ok. rant over... back to fun movie time..

"wore dresses and stockings".
I'm old enough to have had a few run ins with GARTER belts.

 

[Ken Morgan]

I didn’t think garter belt was a good look on you...

Garter snakes, however - now THAT was hot

 

[BassmanPaul]

I was always a gentleman! I made sure to keep most of my weight on my elbows!

 

[alaskaleftybass]

Sounds like the GOF's had a good nighty sleep and had their Wheaties for breakfast!

 

[BassmanPaul]

Today my breakfast was a mixed cold cuts salad with Balsamic dressing. Tomorrow will be Chicken soup with a big spoon.

When my kids were little they always asked for a big spoon when we had soup. Soup with a big spoon became one of the family's sayings.
