Sometimes I Just Need a Break from TB

[AB Nate]

More of a nonmusical interlude

I mean this in the most... laughing with you kinda way

Your name backwards just reminds me of.....
Well......

 

[fcleff]

I just brushed my teeth but am seriously considering cracking another beer.

 

[Serious Ganja]

Well, I had to take a cooking competency test. And a bass test. Holy serious ganja!! I’m not unemployed!!!! I have TWO jobs!

HEY ALRIGHT!!!

 

[fcleff]

I just brushed my teeth but am seriously considering cracking another beer.

Wait...how does a guy with no job and no manners manage to brush his teeth?

 

[Serious Ganja]

Did someone say hash?!View attachment 3495179

I would do that.

 

[AB Nate]

Do it

 

[Serious Ganja]

Wait...how does a guy with no job and no manners manage to brush his teeth?

Who are you talking to?. Its ok Im here.

 

[JRA]

a tranny for my Jeep

who would name their son "Jeep?"

Are we still humorous?

it depends...got a pair of pliers? don't take tests when you're plied!



https://www.talkbass.com/members/statesiderambler.280778/ : i just left a thread where the posts were pretty much what your OP lamented (and i was a willing participant!), so i'm at once with you in spirit and guilty of the process/content about which you may be disappointed/bored.

that happens here --- and sometimes, if you can identify the 'flow', you choose to go with it, go against it, or ignore it by not participating...it can be tough stuff: but i would advise not to leave: figure out a way to laugh at the dumba$$es and laugh with the rest. OTOH: if you take a break = let me know where your favorite watering hole is and i'll meet you there for a drink...at a time when no tweeners are likely to be there wanking.

Wait...how does a guy with no job and no manners manage to brush his teeth?

With the tiniest possible amount of toothpaste, I guess, since you can't afford to buy more.

It’s so sad, really.

But what are the best kind of strings?

But what are the best kind of strings?

String Cheese is beautiful.

 

[fcleff]

But what are the best kind of strings?

Harp strings, surely.

As long as it's fretless, you're in the clear

As long as it's fretless, you're in the clear

That’s like using a condom when you’ve had a vasectomy
