It's the anniversary of the birth of our Queen??? Why was I not made aware of this? @Gaolee ... you're closest. We're gonna need you to put on the finest minstrel's clothing (including a rumpled velvet hat with a 3 foot long feather, and little pointy shoes), and follow her around all day strumming impromptu theme music for whatever she's doing at the moment, on your lute. Ya got it?:thumbsup:

Interesting explanation as to the possible reason for that. I have all of mine and have never had a cavity, same with my siblings and adult kids. But we don't eat the American (or Brit) diet.

I should have no teeth for more than one reason. Instead, I'm the same as you - no cavities even. I put it down as having grown up drinking water pumped out of a calcium aquifer that was right under a cow pasture. Lots of minerals of various kinds in that water, not to mention random microbes that have stimulated the impervious immune system. My wife and I don't eat a particularly American or British diet, either. I don't like sugar all that much, and we eat a whole lot of vegetables. Not much in the way of bread or pasta or anything like that, either. It's a CroMagnon diet by accident, except we generally cook animals before eating them.

The only problem with the constant free-association ode writing stream is that there are more words that rhyme with Mark than with Veronica or Thunderbird. Switching languages to Outer Checho CroMagnon confuses people, but it supplies a few more needed options for rhyme and meter.

Of course! I look great in purple crushed velour upholstery, and I live for the visuals.

Damn! Well... then YOU come up with a worthy way of commemorating this day!
Perhaps Roni would enjoy spending the day cruising around downtown Seattle in the back of a limo, dolled up in her finest Jackie O's (complete with dark glasses of course), and sipping champagne as the passers by wonder who that could be;)

It matters not what is said. Only that the Queen is entertained!

I don't have my Acoustics 301 going yet... my 410 won't make it to the West Coast :thumbsdown:
Love the idea though. Next year I'll make sure to have a wall of cabs just like they did in the 80's. :thumbsup::roflmao:

Bread and pasta every day, almost no sugar or flesh. Just finished reading "The Case Against Sugar" which basically makes the point if you don't eat sugar you can eat all the carbs and meat you wish. Carbs are mainly what I eat. BMI 20, about what it's been my entire adult life.

Complex carbs better than simple carbs- however in light of this info maybe it's not as big a deal?
