There's a platypus without a duck's bill?
And I quote from Wiki...
"The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), sometimes referred to as the duck-billed platypus, is a [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] egg-laying mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania."
...apparently either name is acceptable.

And for my next act - Possum!:D
 
Not enough to compare with yet. Also my EB-3 has flats, may be part of the lack of sustain I'm now consideribg... I will look after it though.
One other thing I did not see coming at all, this EB 3 sounds like a pissed off beast!. I expected something warmer and more retro, I could see me playing this monster at angry speed in a hardcore band meanwhile Im trying to tame it down for progressive doom. What have I got myself into here?.
 
Is it too late for me to draft a retraction of all the nice stuff I said? (;))
Dude you need to hire a publicist, youve had so many classic inputs in this club that you could have written a full book of "everything and anything that needs or neednt be FIX'ed plus all of the colorful insight in between". Theres your book title.

Maybe acceptable but it's a bit ummm archaic -- man you don't look 90!

We get possums around here too and I've seen a rat-sized marsupial. None of the other 'exotic' mammals though.

Well... I gotta admit... your title would probably be more attractive to the would-be buyer, than my working title. "Humorous Perceptions of S#!t Nobody Cares About".

This is the only Platypus I have knowledge of, dont let the first 40 seconds mislead you. Lots more ahead. @JJR58 possibly something that is of interest to you?.

What kinda deal do ya think they'd gimme if I delivered the beer on horseback in full Mountie uniform?
Well that depends on whether the goods they are peddling are hot. If so you wont pay a dime but if not they may laugh you off your horse. If you show up in a lumber jack jacket and touque they'll take great care of you.:thumbsup:
