I am going to declare myself as a female so I can go into the female locker rooms at the gym. Hey, that is my gender and I have the right to do that.
 
Getting pregnant is hardly the defining factor to determine gender, there are plenty of women in the world unable to conceive. Male seahorses carry the young and give birth. The male Angler fish merges into the female and becomes part of her, so here is an example of a female with gonads capable of self insemination, not only that but multiple males may merge with the female over her lifetime, providing her with multiple sets gonads simultaneously. Parrot fish may change sex spontaneously, and in either direction, males become female and females become male. So gender doesn't have the clear delineation defined at birth people seem to think it does.
We are usually talking about humans here and I doubt parrot fish are literate enough to be offended.
 
When you drove 3 hours to GC & picked up a decent LTD & the very next day you spot a better LTD in the local pawn shop, which you visit regularly...
guy says it's been there a while, but for some unknown reason I completely overlooked it, probably because it's got active EMG pickups

then,,, you drive 30 miles North, to their bigger store, & spot one just like it that's $100 cheaper
thinking you've scored, checking it out you realize the battery compartment has no cover :banghead:
and you can't find a place to buy one online...

Knowing me I'll be over there when they open to compare my current LTD with the set neck one they have. Not sure if the EMGs will be an improvement over stock ESP-designed passive ones.

GAS is annoying, especially for someone who is borderline OCD
 
Threads started by ebay users expressing how unhappy they are about how some transaction went, then get upset when multiple neutral observers inform the OP they’re kind of in the wrong based on the facts presented, then the OP goes petulant & changes the thread title and original Post #1, then the thread has to be shut down.

If you ask a question on a public forum, be prepared for the answer even if you don’t like it. :)

I bought a 1974 LTD from a guy who worked next door at work. One of the best cars I ever owned. Gave it to my then sister in law. One of the great regrets of my life.

Wow, a greatest car married to a greatest regret.
 
All this stuff about 'what bass should I buy?', 'what strings should I use?', "should I buy active or passive?', 'Do I need a Fender P?', 'Are 15's better than 12's?", ' Combo or stand-alone amp?'

When I was kid my parents bought a piano. They didn't change the strings. They didn't care if it was the right wood for the right tone. They didn't worry about anything:- they just had it set up in the living room and we played the hell out of it. We all had a good time.

Friggin' people nowadays....:rollno::rollno::rollno:

I bet it would have sounded better with flats.
 
If you don't like my driving, stay off the sidewalk.

I was cut off by a driver that was rapidly changing lanes to get in front of everyone on the road. Once he got to a patch of open road, he was swerving all over the place, and going in and out of left turn lanes, until he finally chose a street to turn on. Must have been either drunk or on drugs.
