Only sports I'm really a fan of involve engines and wheels... Don't tell the Canadian Prime Minister I said that

Football - Futbol - Fußball etc is played with a spherical ball and one's feet - that's how it came by the name.

Footballs are kicked as well, from time to time

The Ancient Greeks had the right idea - mind *and* body

Ah, yes. but, there are other ways to keep ones mind and body in unison.
Use to be heavily into sports as a teen, dislocated my right shoulder 6 times between the ages of 16 and 21.
Threw in the towel after that.

Yeah... the game really improved when they switched to spherical

Aye, they are kicked, headed, chested, chipped, dribbled, passed, taken on mazy runs and BOOTED, but never to come into contact with the arms/hands unless you are the goal keeper.

Ok, I'm not yelling here....Just pay attention!

I just got off the phone with my Sweetwater Rep, the most current info the have regarding finishes is that only Alpine White and Ebony will be available at this point in time. NO CHERRY!

So, still on schedule, I'll keep you posted when my White one ships.

I need that Ebony. GC is a little over an hour away. Hopefully, they'll stock a few.

Lets just say the last time i did it, i had to do a Mel Gibson from Lethal Weapon, where he slams his shoulder against a wall to reset it.
Was getting tired of going to the hospital and having to pay for it.
I was S#!T faced drunk anyway.

 

[Drestakil]

OH NO!!!!! I hate being the bearer of bad news. The toughest cop, the best gunslinger in the west(or Italy)the angriest retired auto worker in Detroit has checked out. R.I.P. Mr. Eastwood, love ya ma man!, thank you for everything.View attachment 1159307

Looks like that picture has been going around since last year.

All this talk about Acoustic 360 rigs, has put me in the moooooood!
This is the sound that uncontrollably leaps into my head when I hear the term "Acoustic 360".
(unfortunately, the bass loses a lot of its *<OOMPH>* coming' off of youTube)

Hey @Gaolee ... What am I seeing in your avatar?

The Dead Kennedy's take on Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald as a band. It's absolutely tasteless, which is my kinda style sometimes.

What? No Cherry?!? That's unacceptable!

No pain what so ever actually, i just continued to drink afterwards.

My P-bass has a nice thick headstock that is still in nice shape, its the beer fridge thats taking on damage.

I consider the P the bass with a really bad attitude. Not for the way it sounds, but it's physical aggression. Its headstock won't point toward the ceiling without heroic efforts, and always sneaks back down to female singer back of head height. With bad results. Or good results depending on the singer. It takes out mic stands in a way nothing else ever does. If I didn't keep it chained up in the basement, it would sneak out at night, steal cigarettes, and beat up the neighbor's guitar. And, it takes on superficial damage all the time. I don't know where some of the scrapes and bumps came from, but they sure aren't the factory relic stuff. It looks like it accompanied a berzerker on a raid. And, I really do try to keep it out of trouble. Nothing else I own has the same kind of unruly personality as the P.

What is it about the North American continent that it ended up with all the most unappealing sports? I tried, I really tried, to get into ICE hockey, but it defeated me.

The Eastwood thing? There was a hoax doing the rounds last month...

You have Australian Rules. That pretty much outdoes everything.

I played rugby with a guy who dislocated his shoulder in a match. He ran off the field, jumped up and grabbed a chain link fence, and then dropped while holding onto the fence with that hand. The shoulder popped back in and he ran back onto the field and kept playing. He was completely sober at the time. It happened so fast that none of us reacted to it until later. It was a delayed *** moment.

So you'll be after a Viking Club number then?

Does this mean Tobacco Burst is also out? Bummer about the Cherry, but I just ordered a Burst...

Not actually.

1. I'm not from 'round here.

2. There's an invisible line which runs down this country. On the eastern side, lies New South Wales (and the Australian Capital Territory) and Queensland. On the other side, there is the rest ... and really, we don't care what they get up to - that includes AFL.
