Gimme a minute... I gotta write this down...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.

One horse back ride was all the pounding I could take in one general area for a lifetime of poundings in that one general area.
All good take your time, I'll be stuck here for life. Oh and try the fish!.
I got my fill of poundings in that one general area, all in one good shot. I was standing on the first level of a pallet rack, disassembling the upper level. They were a huge PIA because they were old & beat up. I had been doing it for a couple days, and gotten used to beating & banging on 'em to get 'em apart. Well... there I was loaded for bear. I grabbed that beam with my left hand, and my hammer with my right... and as I was slingin' that hammer with everything I had... the beam just slid right out! I lost my footing & fell. One leg to the left of the beam I was standing on, and one to the right. Their was blood and swelling in places you do NOT want either one! I was back home like 8 - 10 hours later, but I wasn't moving. I was off work for nearly 3 months... & I still don't walk quite right
For the record... I do not recommend this activity
You missed the *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!
* only in the US.
The same qualifier is on the Koala aka Koala Bear reference.
Just lolz GOne of these days. For some reason it is quite intriguing/alluring but that may also be a case of finding a pedal to GAS a little about where previously there was none -- 'I'm done with pedals'.
I put out feelers on the local forum, hoping someone might say 'hey try mine for a couple of weeks', but obviously need to work on my charm.
I have an aversion to flipping through kit as well, like to think about things at length before making a decision. I agonised about the chorus -- don't need it, sounds cheesy after 5 minutes, what would Billy Talbot do ... but then y'know there's that fancy power supply I bought to eliminate the need to put toxic battery sh1t in landfill and it has all those unused connections and there IS this one song which would really benefit from a chorus (and it's only about 5 minutes long) so why'n'hell not? This went on and off for months.
Buying one new at Australian retail prices would use up most of the dosh put by for the Vintage Pro. I can wait.

No, do opotamus and the much cooler hippopotamus next!
Bloody possums
We are a significant Koala area around my home. So warning signs, and temporary extra lcd signs during breeding season (now) etc.
So significant that the govt has approved another 30000 houses right through here... again
We get spiders and lizards by the many. I’m sure they are a heap of snakes but I’ve not seen any in our yard.
Rarely see Kangaroos though my daughter and her friend reckon there was a big white (albino?) ‘Roo outside the house when they got home late from a night out. I lost ‘good Dad’ points when I suggested they must have been a bit pissed...

I suppose it's TIME.
In the period just before I left NZ I worked with a bloke who was also originally from Invercargill, the area surrounding which was chiefly known for sheep farming at the time. Stew's family had a civil engineering company. Anyway one day his brother was out on a job and was standing astride, collapsing a hydraulic ram. As you are expecting, there was an unpleasant and painful accident and he ended up in hospital having his willy put back together. A while later he is filling out the accident compensation form, and in the Nature of Injury field, he filled out 'Penis caught in ram' [boom tish!]

@Count Bassie (and everyone else too of course) I think you'll get a kick outa this tune. It might take you a minute to get past the singer (you'll see why), but today, we're lookin' at the interplay between the bass and the 2 unique guitar parts. Individually, they sound (to me) like 3 different parts to 3 different songs. The drummer locks down a steady 4 (with some flavor), guitar one comes in by himself for a couple bars, then guitar 2 & bass... and it grooves really hard! It's kinda like the 3 band members rushed into practice one day saying, "I got this new song! You gotta check it out!"... then they all started playing at once & the parts fit together like puzzle pieces! Check it out

!!!,
I always thought of it as a 50 page limit.
Chlorine TrifluorideArsenic,
Antimony,
Strychnine,
Cyanide,
Soman,
Carbon Monoxide,
Lead.
There you go, things just got toxic.
Unsymmetrical Dimethylhydrazine
Nitric Acid
etc.
I didn't find it the least bit funny.
Uwe?Of course Uwe has one of the only 6 made...Does he have a red or a white one?
I don't understand how adding a third pickup to a T-bird would make it sound bad. If the third pickup doesn't sound great with the two already there, just turn it down?
For whatever reason I seem to have a knee-jerk aversion to Darkglass stuff.
I also am not a fan of horses. I think I'd rather eat one than ride one.
Yeah... kooky thing is... my third daughter came along after the fall so... ya know... "the car wasn't totalled"...Holy
Also that L6 bass looks awesome. Wish I had money for it.
Is it because it’s expensive?
...when your house is crammed full of Thunderbirds, and when you own the factory that makes all Thunderbirds, and you own every Thunderbird ever made, it still won't be enough.How can there too many Thunderbirds?
