There is no blue food in nature.

There we go - Skinny Minnie Miller!

Blown away by the part where two teammates picks up an opponent (notice how she's assisting them-staged move) and they throw her over the fence onto a concrete floor 7 ft below! I mean, how do you not get hurt having that happen! I remember the many 2 hands on the fence flips over the fence, but I don't remember them being thrown completely over it!

...As well as the milk I put blue food colouring into.

Definitely unnatural.

Don't get me started on green eggs and ham.

When I was a tyke, Dad fixed split pea soup one Saturday. None of us kids would touch it. A week or so later, he made "green eggs and ham". We wolfed it down and asked for more! He got away with several times before we caught him taking the split pea soup labels off the cans. Busted!
But by then we were hooked. We ran with it. Dad's brilliant.

She's a little after the time I was watching Derby in El Paso. I remember a couple of big blonde women with big hair, popping bubblegum bubbles as they rolled. It was rough and tough, but not quite to the level I'm seeing here. Don't recall names (this was when I was 7 and 8) but either the team or one of the skaters might have had Bomber in the name.

If playing guitar, I gotta have my pedals. However, for bass I prefer not to have any. My tuner is rack mounted and turned on the entire night (I sometimes use a clip on to tune up before a gig). Never got into EQing my bass with pedals, my amp has all the EQ I need. If I need to vary the sound of my bass with more or less attack, brighter, softer, deeper, or more gritty sounds I normally change my right hand position or tone knob setting and favor one pickup over the other. Or I just switch to a different bass with the right strings/pups/control settings to deliver the sound I need.

Oddly enough, I never had more than one or two pedals for guitar.
With bass, I'm usually going DI, so EQ is handy. As for changing tones, absolutely! Bass knobs, positioning, picks vs fingers vs thumb, etc. But drive and delay-based sounds are cool, too.

... Got the ‘15 more or less dialed in after the Cobalt Flats installation. I’m liking them so far. Decided on neck relief at .012. E and A strings a tad under 5/64 at the 17th and the D and G a tad over 4/64. Intonation is pretty much dialed in. I’ll check everything again in a week or two and may still play with bridge PU height.

Great info, I'll have to compare notes tomorrow. How are you measuring the neck relief?

Hendricks requires cucumber rather than lime. Lime ruins Hendricks. If I am ordering a Hendricks, first question is "do you have cucumber?". If I get a puzzled look, it isn't a gin place.

Never tried it with a cucumber. (Keep it clean guys). I'll give it a spin tomorrow.

this is my favorite..

Never heard of that and I'd bet there isn't a bar within 50 miles that even stocks it. But when it comes to Gin I'll give just about anything a try. So off to the liquor store I go tomorrow.

There's a drink called Negroni, make it with Bombay......Heavenly, Mr. Liver approves!

I might just try that tomorrow. (Apparently along with a few other things)

I stick to good scotch, neat, or good rum, also neat. Both have a certain self limiting quality that I find useful for self preservation. Beer also has a good governor - the belly usually fills up before too many bad outcomes.

Gin has a neat little early warning feature, once your face starts to go numb you've had enough. Unlike Tequila, which I can drink all night long as long as I'm sitting down, stand up and it's face to the floor.

Hate to burst your bubble - but the wrestling before Hulk Hogan was real... staged. I mean, like I said - they were wrestlers and they framed the show around the concept of wrestling... but it was showbiz - entertainment, and it has been for a long time.

Yeah, I think this predates the Hulkster by several decades...

 

[RedVee]

Not a gin drinker, can’t stand quinine. The taste just does me in, whether in tonic water or Schweppes Bitter Lemon.

No! Real! All Real!*

My daughter came home from pre-school raving about a book they were read called green eggs and ham. So, having food colouring around, I made green eggs and ham for dinner.

Hendricks is always with cucumber, never lime.

Someone is having a hungover Tuesday...

Not a gin drinker, can’t stand quinine. The taste just does me in, whether in tonic water or Schweppes Bitter Lemon.

The quinine is what makes it good! And it prevents malaria! And prevents nighttime leg cramps!

Yeah, got the malaria story from Dad (WW2 Morotai & Balikpapan).
Still tastes like bleach to me.
(Not that I know what bleach tastes like)

Are those the same as 'restless legs syndrome'?

Bleach and quinine are completely different tastes. Don't ask how/why I know...

Oooh! I hate that... I get that after drinking a lot of beer at night. Usually only if sitting around drinking, which, naturally, I endeavor to not do.

My wife used to get it all the time... what a wondrously weird and lousy experience that is.

 

[PillO]

Are those the same as 'restless legs syndrome'?

No.

Restless leg syndrome is a sensation that is relieved by movement - some call it "the jimmy legs". It is a sensory problem. Usually easily treated with a low dose of dopamine agonist.

Night time leg cramps is muscle cramping - an uncomfortable and uncontrolled tightening of muscle and is often relieved by movement. It is a motor problem. Quinine acts as a mild muscarinic antagonist to reduce nerve impulses to the muscle which usually results in reduced muscle tone.

RLS is typically an evening/night time experience. Inactivity appears to play a role, however the mechanism is not well understood.

Then there is periodic limb movement. It most often involves legs but can also be arms. It is an involuntary twitch, sometimes violent, and is a motor "problem". There is no specific treatment.

Once in a blue moon i experience this. Ok, more than once.

Not as much fun as 'restless eye syndrome'.
