These guys were amazing live:

I believe that bass had a Gibson EB neck.

I liked their music but I could never get my head around them as a visual act

So that's where chicken fingers come from!

Well, I'll admit to not knowing that one off the top of my head... so I Googled the image, and it's from Blue Velvet... but with no context, I'm afraid that the joke is lost on me

I know what you mean, but I really admire their creativity, especially for the time.

 

[Kriegs]

Then you'll never know what lies within the second to last post

Ah, you are a professional click-bait writer!

Did they do an amazing version of Satisfaction?

@hillerup is a fan, I think I need him to explain it to me.

LOL no, its a warning to all Tbird players that don't toe the line of.. well what ever it is we all suffer from, excessive friendliness mixed in with a healthy dose of something alcoholic

You'll need to join this club and get a number before we can tell you

A bumper is the British English name for a fender on a car so a Fender is a Bumper, or a 7ender

Little known fact about Bumpers, P basses were used as paddles in the opening sequence of the old cop show Hawaii 5-0

In Aussie English a Fender is the 3/4 piece on a car, I think some call it a wing.

A bumper is the bumper bar, they used to be chrome and located front and rear on cars.

Finally listed my Epi VP Ebony on NYC CL today. I went back and forth between it and my sunburst VP that has Thunderbuckers. Honestly, there is not any sound advantage to the latter - I'm just going by looks.

No joke to get. We are always serious. Just like Dennis Hopper.

So long as you aren't 'Birdless, all is well. Shallowness and going on looks alone is good.

Once again the Aussies have it almost right.

A Fender is the sheet metal surround that arches over the front or rear wheels. The bumper is on the front and rear ends of the car (and is used to take out occasional Roos that wander into the roadway). The quarter panels are typically the sheetmetal skirting under the doors that connects the front and rear fenders. The A pillar is typically the front windshield post and is followed by the B pillar which is the post that separates the front and rear side windows (not all cars have a B pillar between windows). The rear quarter panel is the sheetmetal behind the rear side window and connects the top of the rear fender to the roofline. Then there's the hood (or bonnet or frunk) in the front of the car and the trunk (or boot or lid) in the rear. Hatch back cars have a rear hatch, SUVs have a liftgate and trucks have a tailgate in the back vs a boot or trunk.

This concludes Automotive design 101 class. There will be a quiz on basic engine types and layouts tomorrow.

And a van with a 'free champagne' sign is the best of them all.
