Everything in Australia is designed to kill humans. And pretty much everything else. Even the humans are like that. Ausie rules is exhibit one.
A 2 metre Great White was stranded on Manly beach yesterday. It was rescued, spent the night in an Acquarium and will be released today.
It's only a baby after all.
:)

Not sure it would be so lucky when the weather warms up a bit.

They are a protected species though. (I think do anyway)
 
Not as bad as you might think. Cutting the skin is like having the tip of a pen dragged across the skin. Cutting the ligament is a bit less comfortable; kind of a crunchy cutting sensation. Sutures are easy; a gentle tugging.
THAT'S it...:vomit::nailbiting::vomit:

Do me a solid, & quit telling me how bad it isn't.

I'm not one of those "faints at the first sight of blood" types... but I do kinda have a "thang" about the wrists & the back. Just talking about or seeing pictures of unnatural things happening to those parts of the body, just makes my stomach drop, my skin crawl, and my teeth itch!:sour:

As well it should be. Amazing creatures.
 
No bites on the goth yet. I did start it a bit on the high side $300, and have not set it back to standard or fished the case out of storage yet.

Hoping to get $250 at least. It is on CL with TMI in the post, which I might edit down later.
Damn man... I wish I could help you out. I will have a wide necked Goth... the timing's just off:(
 
Really sorry to hear that. What I read from this is that you're a total professional and the BL will never be able to keep anyone around long enough to get very far. You'll find a better situation.

There are other douche types that can get along with him, as long as everything is done his way it's fine. He does have the leverage of the quickly growing following and network of other bands that I contributed to, the name, the Facebook page, the upcoming gigs. He will attract players because we were the only real deal tribute in the area. He is always cool at first before revealing his true colors. All "manager" types are.

But now he has a little competition, if this lineup that is coming together can pull it off like I hope. And the support of the retired singer who WILL do cameos. With word going out about that, 2 former members plus members of an established tool tribute in San Diego, we should be able to make a splash and keep some of the old fans as well.

So treated like an illegal alien. Put in jail for the night and deported in the morning.

OK, no more descriptions of CT release surgery. How do you feel about eye surgery? ;)




*the vast majority of humans, even if they can stomach other surgeries have a very visceral reaction to eye injury/surgery.

I got a snapping finger in my fretting hand that will require surgery some time soon. Will post a review for you afterwards. :laugh:

The bliss of local anesthesia: You can feel they are doing things, but can't feel the pain... :D

So I guess this would be the wrong time to tell you how many iv lines I lay on a weekly basis? Or gastric tubes and katheters? ;)
 
And here we go again with the rugby... ;)
That's not rugby. It's semi-organized mayhem, disguised as a sport because there's a ball around somewhere. One point for attempted murder, two points for successful murder. Bonus if it's especially gruesome and airborne, at the same time.
