Ouch..... HAHAHAHAHA

I have a not-so-short list of topics that makes me laugh almost without fail. These include but are not limited to:

(1) French surrender
(2) The Cuyahoga River fire
(3) TOO SOON?
(4) Physics/math jokes
 
Ah, I'm just teasing. My wife is Ontario born and raised, so I love to give her a hard time about it, especially since most Easterners love to stereotype those of us out West. All in good fun!

I considered getting into teasing nshu about Quebecers, but on TB the risk of lighthearted harassment turning into deep political debate was too high. :laugh: (plus people would be saying "what the heck are those Canadians talking about?!!)

Are you picking on east coasters now? Lol. Moved from Cape breton to Ontario 21 years ago

Funny enough, everyone I've met or know from the eastern coast have been absolutely wonderful. I mean, sure, I've heard Newfie jokes and the like, but to be honest I've never really gotten them. There are definitely funny things that happen out there like Mummers and whatnot, but all in all I struggle to tease the East Coasters.

Now, you on the other hand, probably could provide lots of East Coast jokes! ;)

The funny thing about French surrender jokes is that for most of history the French army has been bad a**. Anyone remember Napoleon? How about Charles Martel, "The Hammer"? Charlemagne? Joan of Arc, the little girl who outfought the English army?

Why doesn't anyone tease the Brits about their army? Is it still too soon for jokes about Dunkirk?

Look, my view of history is shaped by this commercial:
 
Nice to see you guys too. Things are really good around here. It just keeps me busy maybe a month or so. First I need to build that place, and then get my prog band settled in. :) I cant remember when I did some changes in my boards. So busy I have been. :roflmao:

Don't worry, we are building a huge list of kits for you to make ;)

Hey now! Just like nshu said good and bad from all parts. If you wait on me I start at 20%; ignoring me, having an attitude that makes my time with you hard to enjoy, blaming others or making excuses instantly halves that. Join the party as much as professionally acceptable, make my kid laugh, take care of problems as they arise and that tip goes up. Get the job done with a smile and you did great.

I hate to hear about good wait staff gettin poorly tipped because of cheap jerks who think they don't need to.

Agreed!

Yeah, I'm not one of those sensitive Quebecois. I am only half Quebecois so...

Wouldnyou say something like "HAHA FRANCE DIDN'T WANT YOU!!"

Yeah, they actually did not, they could have held onto a big chunk of our territory in the negotiations the last time they lost, but instead opted to keep a couple of tropical islands. We lucked out under the British system if you ask me. Some Quebecois would not agree, but, well, whatever ;)

AND IT WAS THE ONLY TIME THEY'VE EVER STOOD UP FOR THEMSELVES!

We make lots of France jokes up here, more than you guys would ever think ;)

So I think a Fuzzrocious RatTail might be in my near future. I used to own one, and I've been missing that snarl. Keep my OFD for a low gain tube grit, and gated fuzz sound (which is something I think the OFD excels at). Now if only my Reflex would ever ship!

They make a narrow enclosure RT with a switch on the side. You can get a RT with two distortion settings too, makes it more useful.

Yeah, they just happened to suffer from a bit of command incompetence for 40 years when it could have mattered, but, hey, nobody has a perfect record.

There's a whole OT forum for yapping.
