A wet kiss from a cow or any other beast when you aren’t looking.

OK, I'm here. I know I am grumpy because I'm almost 70, wear glasses but still have a 40" monitor so I don't have to squint. I have hearing aids, but turn them off when I don't want to hear something.

My hair is falling out and growing back in all the wrong places.

Until recently, I thought you guys had mellowed and were not as grumpy as I am. But then, I had a run-in with two of your members yesterday and all that has changed.

I think I qualify to be a member. Do I need a sponsor? Do I just make my number up? Do you offer any courses on how to be grumpier? :woot::cool::roflmao:.
I started playing bass in 1969 with a used Teisco Bass, a Challenger amp that had a turntable on top of it, and a 2x15 Utah cab as big a frig my uncle made. May I have a Number please?

We're kinda grumpy right now. We lead by example. :thumbsdown:

I think I was the first one without a number.

We lose track so we don't need no steenkin' numbers!:D

It takes more than old equipment to a GOF! Oh, wait, no it doesn't. I think that pretty much defines us. Or deflates us.

If you don't mind sharing your good stuff, guess it'll be okay if you show up once in awhile. :thumbsdown::yawn:

Just mind you p's n q's.

Hey, that reminds me...I lost a stu id P somewhere around here somewhere... anyone?
 
When we were kids, in the old days, people used real numbers. “I used to walk 20 miles to get to school in a snow storm without a hat.” At some point, people realized that those numbers were imaginary. But to older folks, imaginary numbers are very real and part of how they remember things.

Mathematicians thought, hey why not, and adopted imaginary numbers to get around the lack of real numbers to solve certain equations.

We live in an “i” world, so the idea of using inumbers that exist in a different plane should not be so unusual. I propose that imaginary numbers be used in assigning club membership to those that wish to be counted.

Welcome New GOF's (NGOF's?)!!!

Please let me know if you are not on the list, or if you are listed but already have a number.

Wait, please? Are we not GOF's? We are G O F Oh! By please, I meant dammit :spit::rage::mad::spit:

Attention Numberless GOF's
Calling All Cars, Calling All cars:
Be on the lookout for me.

Please respond to this to get a number. If you know about when you asked for a number, that would be good. I'll start giving out numbers soon. Then we will decide who will take over the numbers and when.

So far...

If I voted for Thomas Jefferson (when he ran for the House of Burgess in Virginia) and I still have a Kustom 250 w/ a 215 bottom and I hate everyone who ever looked at my lawn, do I qualify?

If not, the h3ll with ALL of you!
Welcome 12bit. Added to list above.

Try to get this done soon. But it does involve some math... Counting. Where's my TI30?
 
Good job bro @BadExample on the numbers. Does my old original number still count?

Also, @Stumbo You might ask @Passinwind about P's..... :laugh: :bag:

My man @Stumbo don't need no steenkin' number, or no steenkin' P-Bass with flats and a cheap "tort" plastic pickguard. I never asked for a number, but I was rejected out of hand anyway way back at post #67. And I like it that way. I'm a ray of sunshine...

...headed for a dark hole. But tonight we dance!
