Martin Luther King


My great, great, great, great grandfather who was slave and fought in the Civil War after he escaped

I vote for your 4xG Grandfather. He risked being martyred every time he went into battle. Plus, you would get a far better look into your heritage talking to a guy with balls as big as stopsigns. Hell, I'd put him on for MY dinner guest.

More from the five martini lunch.

More devastation in DC.

Let's lighten things up, shall we?

Speaking of... check out this honking:

Couple tracks from the upcoming Saviours release... totally old school, lo fi, riffy and cool as shit... if you ask me...

Fuck ya.

God DAMN, I'm gonna look like an ass with that pounding out of the Subaru's speakers.  

The creator of Six Feet Under and True Blood is working on a new series for Cinemax about a sheriff in amish country who knows karate.

"Banshee," as the project is known, was stationed at HBO before heading over to Cinemax. It's set in a small town in Pennsylvania Amish Country, and will focus on an "enigmatic ex-con who's also an expert in martial arts." The ex-con poses as a murdered sheriff in the town, imposing his "own brand of justice, while cooking up plans that serve his own interest."

Sometimes the universe doesn't give us what we want, but what we need.

That sounds pretty hilarious, especially in light of the rapid encroachment of development in Lancaster County. How's this for the tagline, "He's the badest badass in the cul-de-sac"!

What it's like to work at a music store.

No dude, this thread is about *metal*.

If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck and has scooped mids like a duck...

As I wander into an area were I never go ordinarily...

Just out of curiosity, have you ever heard of a guitarist name John Corabi? He played with Ratt and Motley Crue when Vince Neil was off on walkabout. Never heard about him before, but apparently, he's the brother of a woman from my church? 

We got it for a steal though, it was quite literally too good to pass up.

walls bleeding in 4.....3...2.....


 

 

Indian Graveyard included!

Who knew that you could get that strong from stealing street signs and robbing the unconscious victims of the resulting accidents?

I love the Phanatic!

Yeah, they dumped a lot of offense, but Carter has been coming up small in the playoffs and Richards and Lavie didn't "bond", as they say.

They dumped a lot of salary, so I don't expect that they are done picking up players.

Sounds like five grand worth of existential groovy to me.

Angry baby says "TOO MUCH TALK"!!!

 

I approve this telecaster!

Yes, it's an obvious ripoff, but.

.

I would do very dirty things to that woman.

Like give her a shower and shave her legs?

[Spoiler]

The twelve was cheap, due to a prior peghead snap. The collectors wouldn't touch it now. The SFIII is from a buddy of mine who is ill and on a fixed  income. I liked it, but didn't need it, but I can give him some operating capital to get a different guitar that he would like.

Spoiler for Hiden:

The guy has incurable prostate cancer and it's something I can do for him.

And one of these too.

1969 Guild F-112 12string on the way!

So, is there an easy way to tune drums? I thought tuning a guitar was a pain in the ass. 

Hey, it was tuned when I got it!

Also, look up "holdback".

of course Superman isn't real-  only Marvel Comics heroes are real.

I'm not even sure you're real.  I'm convinced that Issie and I are going to meet up with a sock puppet at Origins next month that somebody keeps sticking up over the table top at the bar....

for the love of god, please don't lift the sock puppet off at the table. 

Or your lap. <cringe>

Try kitten formula and see if it helps put the weight on.

Best of luck with your kitteh!

Ayn would say not to see the movie at all. By providing charity to it by the way of purchasing tickets, we deny the movie the chance to succeed on it's own by keeping it dependent upon us. Additionally, the movie may want to fail, in which case, we are imposing our will upon it, which is morally reprehensible.

The older you get, the more you appreciate good tone at low volume. At the moment, my favorite amp is an 8-10 watt Univox. My ears are somewhat damaged by working in a noisy environment when I was younger and I really don't want to aggravate the issue.

+1,000,000 on the earplugs.

One of the girls I work with was told that separation could date from the last instance of sex. In her case, they were separated for a year, while living under the same roof.

Something you might want to consider is an electronic drum kit. It's a little less bulky to store, you can use headphones if it's late or somebody is napping and you can run it through a pa if you play out.

Zydeco does it for me. Don't know why, don't know how.

My favorite music to houseclean to as well.

Tr giving your cat kitten food - the formula for kittens or the actual canned stuff. It's very high in calories, so even if the cat throws up, it might retain more nourishment.

Worth a shot.
