  1. The one about the lady from the James Bond Movies getting down on all 4's was funny. Tasteless but funny.
  2. Gotta have a smore after a kids go to the tent and the adults pass the Colorado Kush around.
  3. Slapping a girl in the face for dancing with someone at a party that would one day become your 1st wife is leading by example? I guess it is if you preach slapping girls in the face.
  4. If it sells I'm keeping only 4 and that is it. I've said that before, but man on man. What an axe. I saw my D-35 today. Went to the store to get a box to ship the D-18. I touched it and left.
  5. I'm first in line. Just sent a counter offer for the D-28. It might be sold tonight.
  6. Your right. But in this day and age I'm sick and tired of people who I don't know and don't know me think I'm to stupid to make an informed decision on my own. I got the job I work at without anyone from Hollywood or a musician, graduated college, served in the military, got married, had kids, bought and sold guitars, all without their help or advise. If you want to listen to them and take their advise you are more that welcome to. I'm not interested. You can't turn on the TV without it being rammed down our throat. So for someone in the business to call them out, makes me smile. Even if he is one of them.
  7. My first real guitar was a Firebrand The Paul. It was a heavy turd in my opinion. It was what it was a student low dollar model.
  8. I was 4 when they broke up so I did not get to hear any of their yapping. I just listen to them. Love their music but none of them were nice people. Paul maybe the nicest of the bunch, but they all did bad stuff to each other and cheated and other stuff. I don't think they are angels, just people who made music I like.
  9. And he would go home for about 45 minutes. Everywhere Is Freaks And Hairies Dykes And Fairies, Tell Me Where Is Sanity.
  10. If you have one Tool album, it is pretty much all you need. I would take Undertow out of all of them or Lateralus.
  11. Agreed whole heartedly. And don't get me started on Bono.
  12. He was on the original English - and IMHO the better and funnier The Office. He is English too and has a carrier. He's been in movies, TV and does voice overs and stuff like all the actor types do. He has a show on Netflix as he alluded to and as he said it go picked up for a second season. Your an actor, your job is being a fake person and getting paid for it. So your area of expertise is acting not politics. If you want to be in politics stop what your doing and run or office, if not shut up and stop telling me what I should or should not do. I'm 53, got my self this far in life without listening to what Bruce Springsteen or any actor wants to shove down my throat. Also he has been hosting just what we need another awards(The Golden Globes) show for rich people for the last 5 or so years, but I am sure he is not next year.
  13. Exactly. He was spot on. None of those rich windbags are in touch with reality. They get told how great they are all day long and I am sure they believe it. They live a totally different life than we do. At least he had the cohune's to do it. How about Sharon Osbourne. Correct me If I'm wrong but isn't she English. And she is over here on an American TV show telling us why we are good or bad and expressing her view on a show called The Talk. Go back to England and talk smack about the country you were born in.
  14. He's a comedian. They have been doing it since people have been comedians.
  15. If you haven't yet Reverb is a good place to sell. Lower fees than Fleabay. I sold a guitar there yesterday in 3 hours.
  16. It must need to slide into some changing base you don't have. And they just sent you to AC to DC adapter. Call them (Gibson) and explain your delema. Or is there a hole in the mini-tune for the adapter end where the battery is installed. Come on Big Bill there are at least 2 zingers you can get from my reply.
  17. If you don't have beer and smores when camping then you are just sleeping outside.
  18. Depends on what you need and how uber fancy you want to go. Here is what I got Fret Rocker - $10 and they can be had for cheaper Black Diamond File from hardware store - $10 Furniture Sanding Kit with really fine grit from 1500 to 12000 Grit - $15 110, 220 and 320 Grit Sand Paper - $5 pack at the hardware store. I stole some from work. Strait Edge Ruler 18" or longer- I got mine at Stew Mac. A little more expensive, but it will be dead strait. $50 Nut Files - I got a nice set made in Japan - $80 Feeler Gauge - Get whatever gauge you prefer for setting the height at the first fret for when you need to file your nut slot - $10. I only play acoustic to setting intonation is pretty easy the manufactured does that. All I have to do is sand the saddle to where I like it with 220 grit sandpaper.
  19. Well lets bring them back, oh wait we live in a kinder gentler everyone gets a trophy so no one is left out world.
  20. Love them with graham crackers and chocolate when camping. Its the snowflakes that are the issue.
  21. Sound like you need to do what I did. Do you have a fret rocker? When I did my D-35 (a brand new guitar) I had to take care of about 13 of the 20 frets. Remember a fret can be high in the middle or end or anywhere in-between and the whole fret might not be high. It might only be 1/3 or 1/2 or 1/4. Depends on how heavy handed the guy wielding the hammer is that day. If you do need to rock your frets use a Sharpie to mark the high spot and file it until its where you want it. You have to rock it, then file, then rock it again and check it and repeat. Like washing your hair, Rinse - Lather- Repeat.
  22. Is your fret issue the corner or the whole fret? For what I did I just bought a black diamond file form the hardwear store and snapped the top piece off about 3 to 4 inches and leveled the frets. You gotta go really light and slow, unless you are filing the corner. I will take it to a pro for the ends. The file has to be big enough to ride over a few frets so you don't mar the fret board.
