Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[mikeoso]

I may have just pulled off the ultimate GOF post. Response to a poll about reliced basses, reproduced here.

"Ok, I wasnt going to comment, but since you asked...."

the balance of this post was found to be in violation of rules, so I've deleted it

I relic my things myself. The tee shirt I wear today is new to me in 1981. It gets "delicate cycle", and has a pinhole or two below the left shoulder that is probably the work of my cat (RIP). Oh yes a very clever earlier iteration of /me teaches the cat to ride on my shoulder. She just thinks it's wonderful and all is well and good until

until the inevitable moment when I step out of the shower and she wants a ride on my shoulder.

Hilarity ensues.

I don’t get relic’ing, never will. Life provides enough scars, I don’t have to intentionally inflict more for show.

There’s pride in keeping material things looking good. What breaks, I fix. I shine my shoes. Perhaps one fault is holding onto old things well beyond their intended service life. I hate spending money on myself.

The universe is forever changing in a scary way. In my you ger daze, I used to worry about this, and what’s beyond the stars. There are certain things that are well beyond our comprehension. We just have to accept them.

Prolly the last word even though 'misspelled'.

Pinholes in your shoulder?

Pinhole tool

Nope...it seems that relic-bashing is prohibited. I had no idea.

Should see the holes I get in my shirts...and shoulders.

This species can exert 2400 psi with that beak.
