    Stupid Jokes

    in The Gibson Lounge

    Posted

    An Eskimo rode his snowmobile to small gas station and garage in a northern Alaskan town.  The mechanic walks out of the garage and says, "How can I help you?" 

    The Eskimo says, "My snowmobile is sluggish, it's running rough, and it's leaking oil.  Can you take a look at it?"

    The mechanic says, "Sure.  It'll take me a little while."

    The Eskimo says, "That's OK.  I'll just go across the street and get some lunch."  The Eskimo goes to the little cafe across the street.

    An hour later, the Eskimo walks back across the street to the garage.  The mechanic comes out of the garage, wiping his hands on a red rag, and says, "It looks like you've blown a seal."

    The Eskimo wipes his mouth with his hand and says, "No, that's just a little mayonnaise from my sandwich."

    What I liked best was the price. [cool] But yes it works very well for a natural overdrive sound. Not really good for high gain or metal styles.  

    I'm not a high gain or metal guy anyway.  I'll have to look under the couch cushions and in the pockets of my old sport coats.  I bet I can easily dig up 49 bucks.

    ... Guitar to Compressor (use as a cheat Boost) to MojMojo OD to Crybaby Wah  to Zoom MS 70 CDR ( only use chorus effect and Tuner function) to Amp input

    Use MojoMojo for moderate gain where I can roll off Volume to clean up and use amps Gain channel for higher gain ....

     

    Saturn, I guess you like the MojoMojo?  In the video demos I've seen, it sounds like what I like in an OD.  I don't have any tc electronic stuff, but they seem to be highly regarded, and the MojoMojo is dirt cheap.

    Hello friends.
    What criteria do you think to choose the best electric guitar.
    I was interested in music so I decided to buy one next, and I asked everyone to give me some samples. I like it like this: Image
    I thank everyone

    If you "like it like this", then get a Fender Telecaster.  It's a fine guitar.

    If you really want to know, make an appointment with a  Gastrointestinal doctor.  Be prepared to possibly come back for an EGD (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy) which is when they basically stick a camera down your throat to look at the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract.   It's like a colonoscopy, but coming from the other side. 

    GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is a very common cause of the symptom you know as "heartburn".   If not treated, the acid can begin to erode your esophagus.  A lot of people don't even know it's happening while they are sleeping and over time it can become a bigger problem.  The good news is there is a whole category of medications they can use to treat GERD.   Some of those meds are over-the-counter.  They are called PPIs (proton pump inhibitors).  Some of them I'm sure you have heard of:

    Types of PPIs
    Omeprazole (Prilosec), also available over-the-counter (without a prescription)
    Esomeprazole (Nexium), also available over-the-counter (without a prescription)
    Lansoprazole (Prevacid), also available over-the-counter (without a prescription)
    Rabeprazole (Aciphex)
    Pantoprazole (Protonix)

    Source: I worked in a GI Doctors office for 3 years.  

    I used to suffer from heartburn/GERD.  Now I take 40mg of Pantoprazole every day and don't lie down within two hours of eating; no more heartburn.

    Oh, yeah.  That "Ginger or MARY ANN" thing.  That's all changed now.  Guys in the Millennial days argue;

    "Siri or Alexa?"  :rolleyes:

    I like Siri AND Alexa.  I just hope they don't find out about each other or I'll be screwed.

    Yeah.  Every living thing on the planet exists at the expense of other living things.

    Well, I watched an ant crawl across my front porch, which is far more interesting to me than a horse race.  Never understood the attraction. [confused]

    Whitefang

    But did that ant cross your front porch in two minutes racing against other ants?

    Just an OD first, then maybe a fuzz.  Sometimes I like a reverb at the end.

    I've got way too many ODs (I need to decide which ones I really like), and one fuzz (the Red Witch Fuzz God II) that I just don't like at all.

    The only reverb I have is the EHX Holy Grail Nano.  I like it.

     But, seriously ... the number one problem facing the world today (in my opinion) is overpopulation (remember Paul Ehrlich, "the population bum"?).  It would probably take at least one or two generations to solve (humanely) the overpopulation problem,  but eventually world hunger would be solved as well.  Maybe.
