I have some good buddies on the Telecaster forum, and I'll miss having laughs with them. I think it's just that I rub one of the Moderators the wrong way. Always have, from jump street. 😉 lol, well it's their loss ... yea, I've had probably 6 or 7 Teles. I'm down to one, which I'm definately keeping. I've sold off quite a few guitars in the last year & half. down to 4. a Tele, a 335 & two LP's Edited March 4 by Karloff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 You can't have a slant without falling down the hill once in awhile when you're not paying enough attention. Didn't you say "AOC is the dumbest person on the planet" once here? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdaddy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I’m offended too. I won’t say if I’m offended by the alleged “dumb AOC” comment or the refusal to commit one way or the other. In the grand scheme of things, I am content believing she is neither the sharpest nor the dullest tool in the shed. Nice rack! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 A limerick in honor of this occasion.

PrairieDog Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) 4 hours ago, ghost_of_fl said: Are black squirrels common in your area? Mostly not seen in my area but I mentioned it here once and apparently it's super common in other areas. We have a number of feeders that attract both birds and squirrels. We have all of them. The main crew is reds and grays, every so often, fox squirrels. We even have caught flying squirrels on our trail cams at night. In addition to the regulars, every few years we have morphs of albino and black. Last year we even had mini piebald reds. Kinda cute little red ones with various white patches, and one leucistic, nearly all white with black eyes, so not a true albino. Then we get morphs of morphs: below is a gray squirrel in a black morph with a red tail: Here is a red: A pair of baby fox squirrels: Edited March 5 by PrairieDog 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Mr. Sparky is largely responsible for me ever trying out a tele. I did. I loved the sound (I like Fender tones), but other than playing chords, they are wasted on me. The E strings are right on the edge of the fingerboard. I gave up on Fenders entirely after trying to make that TC90 playable (I failed). I still have the CoolZ though. It's very like a tele, except I can play it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, what a great looking neck and headstock! Never heard of CoolZ before, but from looking at them on Reverb, they are very nice and desirable guitars. Fujigen always made great stuff. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'History' is the other domestic market brand Fujigen build for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought to myself, a few times over the past coupla years, "Eat up, little friends. The day may come where I have to eat you"! 😔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Time for some cute baby weasels. Would you like to see a pic of my Tele? Edited March 5 by jdgm 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One spring our car had developed the tell-tale odor a mouse had gotten into the engine air vents, as they are want to do out here in the country. One day, getting in I heard actual scrabbling and squeaking coming from the headliner and looked up to see seeds stuffed in the dome light. Okay, that was a step too far. I released the liner from it’s clips back at the hatch to see if I could see anything and damn, if a little least weasel didn’t poke her head right out to say, “what the eff?” Turns out we had been driving her babies, and likely her all over hell and gone for days. It was going to be really hot that afternoon, so we parked the car in the shade, and left the back open so the car would stay ventilated, and prayed she would wise up and move camp. Then we set up a trail cam and have some great video of her dashing in and out that night. We never saw her carrying the babies, but she may have done that from another exit, because everyone was gone the next morning.

gearbasher Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Since this is going the way of cute baby animals, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Here is a pic of me holding my baby Caiman (circa 1974). Kind of cute in the pic, but once he doubled in size I couldn't get near him.
