And someone will say they were racist, but wait.... and pro gun, but wait....You either get them or you don't.

Could be worse

For many years I lived in the downstairs half of a house in Bondi. The arseholes in the next house over had a burglar alarm that used to like going off, particularly in warm weather. The siren was in the narrow pathway between the houses directly outside my window -- aka a canyon -- and was as loud as fvck.

It would go for 20 minutes, reset and go off again, reset and go off again, reset ...

One day I rang the polis and they duly turned up, inspected the outside of nextdoor, pronounced all clear and turned the alarm off. They told me 'next time this happens, as soon as it goes a second time, just turn this switch off'. It was the main power switch for their entire house!

On numerous subsequent occasions much vicarious pleasure was derived from hearing the arseholes next door arriving home to a dark house and defrosted food.

That's really devious. Love it.

TBH I don’t expect too much recognition of the logo down here. Other than ‘cool bird sticker’.

And you smile knowingly and go"Yep"

They officially dropped the confederate flag last year.

I think(not certain)Johnny still has a towel or something on his mic stand but I haven't seen them recently.

You should have a warning for that!

There's a story that Johnny and his wife were at a Jacksonville Symphony concert and Johnny hollered out"Free Bird". After which his lady smacked the crap outta him.

Let's not be posting guns or politics here, we have a nice thing going but that kind of stuff doesn't fly elsewhere on TB and it won't here.
My best advice is for the posters to edit and remove that stuff before it gets reported - This thread has many, many more viewers than you all may realize and we're not immune from TB's rules.

Rock, red necks, guns -> Ted was bound to show up.

Are Molly Hatchet still kicking around? I quite liked their music in the early 80s. Less country, more rock. Kind of like ZZ Top with more musicians.

I hear their name mentioned once in a while for local(FL)festivals.

I shall return shortly. I have developed an irresistible urge to go play my NR 5 String Epi BirdUpdate: did about 15 minutes on the 5 string w/ the PJ pups,then about 5 minutes on the '67 w/ the original Gibby pups. I'm gonna have to change that P pup to a ThunderBucker. It just don't sound "right"

Does it look like this?

This is the one I had for awhile.

 

[GonePlaid]

By the look of the ads I'm getting,most of the online outfits are having clearance sales. Naturally not what I want

My pickguard's white w/ a red Bird,but yeah. There's pics of my collection @ post 73889I went to look at mine-like the black better(grass is always greener)

Some great microbrews here in the states. It's the only saving grace for beer here.

I am so glad I’m not into fancy beers. Just give me some Labatt Blue nice and cold and I’m a happy guy for half the price you guys are paying.

Are those glued neck?

Old Milwaukee?

That kind of alarm in NYC would have no use at all. Wouldn't even work as a deterrent.

Yeah, a wheel chock lock would be a better option but more of a pain to use.

Not much of a beer drinker anymore these days. But when i went to see Scott play last week, had some very tasty micro IPA i can't remember the name of.
Guess i'll have to go back to The Red Lion and find out.

Yes w/ a screwed in Epi plate underneath
