Maybe the packaging needs a sticker that claims “some settling of contents may have occurred in shipping and handling”.

Of course I suppose you could solve the problem by installing a mirror on the bedroom ceiling that has a note on it similar to your car mirror…
“Warning, objects in mirror are bigger than they appear”

I gotta admit, that seriously cracked me up.

I’m no cyclist but IIRC the ladies shorts are padded in more than just the rump.

Because you aren't a cyclist is why you are not clear of what cycling shorts are about. There is an addition to the thin un-restricting for movement lycra that creates a padded interface at the saddle. If riding your garage bicycle around the block - this is not something you will need to consider. But if you spend time in the saddle - it quickly becomes obvious as a need for comfortable cycling.

This is an example in woman's cycling shorts. (but of corse it is - it's pink! ...colour is irrelevant as it's on the inside!) There are many different 'chamois'* architecture/designs out there - and next to a bicycle saddle (shape/design) is thee most subjective part of riding a bicycle. It's like strings on a bass - everyone gravitates to strings that they like.

* original cycling shorts made of Merino wool had leather chamois sewn in that one would need to 'need'/rub in (fish) oil/lanolin into it to make it conforming - like a second skin, helping to avoid 'saddle sores' from putting miles in the saddle. A modern 'chamois' is padded synthetic material but old-school leather chamois shorts are still available... at a premium.

An anti-chafe solve is still used - one being called Chamoise Butt'r. Hilariously, there is a 'woman's version'... (with pink accents of course) ah, marketing... (I've used both depending on price and availability...)

Seems like a good price on a 1991 Bird.

The gentleman with the SG is a great player, had it happening on the guitar!

Jerome (Jerry) Flores..he was pleased when I told him you said…aside from that gorgeous ‘68 SG he’s got a ‘68 335 in two tone tobacco sunburst that just plain sings…never apprehensive about gigging either of the two…..also sings solo, backup and plays keys…..a REAL jewel and asset to any band….he’s also 71 and thinking retirement (lugs a twin around sometimes)…..add to that a stellar personality…..truly irreplaceable…

My wife (then girlfriend) use to get on me when I called shorts, "short pants." They are "shorts" I was told. I used to kid and say, "shorts" what? What's short? Pants. Short pants." Pants is the common term around here. No one uses trousers or slacks unless they are selling them or think they are impressing someone. Jeans are jeans, but mostly pants. Nice pants are "dress pants."

Different terminology depending on US location. As a mid-westerner (originally) I called 'soda' 'pop' - or soda pop. East coasters call such 'soda'. There are many other different ways to refer to anything - I enjoy them all linguistically, but I just don't use them all in a conversation.

It barely hit 100 here today. Cool front!

Probably the nicest most complete one I have seen, even has the modules. Reasonably priced given the inflated prices on Reverb at the moment.

Ditto. Usually when I see them they’re trashed. Modded, and/or missing modules.

Who's That was in a multi band outdoor tribute show early this summer. Several weeks prior we all came down with covid and were sweating negative tests right up to the show as were other bands. We all made it but we were tired, lackluster and under rehearsed. I know how you feel, covid is making it very difficult to be in a band.

I think the best bet is to stay small.

hoagies, heros, grinders, po’ boys, subs……hey I remember calling it pop growing up in the northeast as well….

I've heard of various musicians/singers in the 70s doing that, only on the front....

Racing shorts are padded front and back.

Basic cycling term reference; shorts, or bib shorts - padded shorts designed for riding a bicycle for transportation, fun, training or racing. Maybe it's because I don't usually use the word 'pants'. Jeans or slacks, or even trousers... pants makes me think of a little kid; "come on Johnny, put your pants on"

I started referencing “pants” again thanks to Thor II.

It’s pop in Canada. And when you buy groceries, they go in a bag, not a sack.

Bag with a more-or-less long a? That’s how my Canadian friends all pronounced it

Growing up in Ohio we called it 'Pop' as well. And I still say grocery bag not sack.

That's funny, because I alway say 'bag' also - the midwest and Canada are not so dissimilar!

Awhile back I made the decision to not drink anything stronger than 'pop'. 'Course 'pop' will drink damn near anything.
