Thunderbird Club

[PillO]

Excellent! I managed to unsettle the unflappable PillO!

Hey, I'm as flappable as the next Thunderbird player...

I assume flappable mean intelligent, strong, well spoken, and attractive to potential mates.

I like that stuff a lot. Plus, it's full of bugs.

I reiterate -

Is it almost Rutting Season in Canada?

I can’t drink pop (soda). Corn or cane sugar, it’s just too sweet for me.

I treat myself to a Coke once in a while. I avoid caffeine.

 

[Glenn Johnson]

from Mexico, in the old returnable bottles and using the original recipe of sugar, not corn syrup..

They're both delish to me!

I played with a Belgian dude. He invited me and the drummer over for Belgian beers once. There’s a thing where they serve each beer in its particular shaped glass. He didn’t actually give us Stella.

He probably gave you a trappist ale

It is always rutting season here!

Finally, someone takes me seriously about dropping the coke habit to buy a Thunderbird!

Well, according to Wikipedia, first brewed in 1926, so it hasn't been around that long. The brewery can trace lineage back to 1300s, but that may be tenuous.

But I think that the take home message from this is that people have liked gnat's-piss beer for nearly 100 years.

In this country the downfall of beer began with Prohibition, pretty quickly followed by WW II's demand for barley, which left the brewer's searching for cheaper, yet inferior alternatives - namely corn and rice. Read the ingredient list on a can of Bud. People drank rice and corn beer before the craft beer resurgence in the 1990's. Most still prefer it. Bud is the most popular beer in the US and even London, even though it is not beer according to a 700 year old German law

That's the better way to go. I drink that Mexican Coke pretty rarely. Otherwise all I drink is water, unless I'm having an adult beverage.

I hear ya

Water
Black coffee
Black tea
Green tea
Arnold palmers (only around alcohol)
Coke Zero

PillO is on the left. I'm not clear on how you play a Thunderbird with antlers, but he seems to manage somehow.

I'm confused about what's going on with this bass:

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

1. I didn't know that body style came in a five string.
2. It has both P & J pickups but no Thunderbird pickups.
4. The strap button is on the bottom side of the neck.
3 sir! No thunderbird head stock.

I'm sure you guys will see more that's wrong with it. I can only guess that the only legit part of that is the Epiphone neck plate on the back. I don't know.

Totally legit bass. Strap button has been moved for sure (and not sure WHY they moved it there) but I think the bridge is original. Other than that looks like a stock Epi NR from the 90's. Basically a 7ender in Tbird-ish clothing.

You don't use your antlers to play

Play with your hands - antlers sit on your head.

No, that's a cap

the Spanish left some cool stuff behind..

I really don't understand Stella Artois. People pay a premium for what I would politely describe as an ambiguously German, French, Danish, Belgian version of Bud. It is even made by the makers of Bud. Slick advertising and a stemmed glass have somehow brainwashed the masses into a dysgeusic malaise making them think that THAT is beer. Not that I have strong feelings on the matter...

Please tell us how you really feel.

1. I wouldn't expect the Spanish to leave a TR6. Maybe a Brit who got tired of fixing it?
2. Maybe it was a Spaniard. It clearly wasn't someone who reads English because it clearly states NO PARKING!

Mildly opposed.

@GonePlaid I think there is one for sale in the TB classifieds...

Yeah. Mine.
