Garth, no, I think we can safely say that anyone who fulifills the job description of being an idiot and a fool can be labelled such. Sort of an "if it walks like a duck...) etc. Most of the guys I saw doing the "blasphemy" thing didn't impress me. A statement of unfaith is fine. Howver it's not abnormal for someone who likes something to respond negatively when someone else is highly critical of it. Knock, cut down, blaspheme, insult something , whatever you want to call it - that's PRObably going to get a negative reaction from those who like that thing. But call me a snob, I'd like some craft, art, intelligence and respect in the criticism I DON'T care what you believe, scream it as loud as you want. That's just me though. No intelligence is required, of course. It's perfectly acceptable for people that want to keep saying the same things over and over, every time a subject comes up, regardless. No biggie. Thankfully there's no "organized" effort here by "religious folk" to smash the poor unfaithed people, just discriminating viewers.

waysider, we need to do some serious Roy B. discussion one o' these days here, yeppers. The Master of the Telecaster! Reversed Headstock? Isn't that the cute little gopher in "Peanuts" - plays with Snoopy's bowl all the time?

WG on da case! Nothing worse than a nutty colon. What did the liver say to the urinal tract? "You're WHAT? You've got to be kidneying!"

A la, you're going to stop fiddling around? Really? ho ho hawuhaaaa! Christ Duarte yes! He's good, Oaks, I haven't seen him live though. Like the music. For some scarey Roy, GIVE THIS A LISTEN Roy's checking out what appears to be a signature series Telecaster - it looks unrehearsed, standard Buchanan M.O. There's a keyboard and percussion backup. The intro/opening is long while they get set up and plugged in. The first guitar and tambourine (????) piece is soft of odd. The second piece is cool. Of note I thought is that Roy's single note blues/rock style is completely intact and presented, off the cuff on a new guitar that hasn't gotten broken in or Buchananized in any way. He does all of his sounds and techniques in that style for the camera, one take. And he goes 'outside' in spots too, wanders a little and pushes things around the way he does.

Thanks! I'll go with that VeganXTC! :)

Taken care of Chatty! Whoa....hmm. Won't be too many more tops and bottms before this thread will hit 2,000 posts! Whoo hoo! Wandered through some cool Roy Buchanan tunes on Youtube last night during American Idol commercials. Some new stuff's out there!

Rookie question - Is it pronounced "Vee - gun" Or "Vay - gan"....? "Veh - jan"?

Gentleman, start your pages...

The only one I know of Ductape is a carryover from the earlier latin version of Greasespot, when it was called "Greasaparatza". It's buried now in some include file on the server but initiates if you ask for persmission to post. The file name is "rule9_obscurata.inc" and is coded so that if you ask permission to post the answer is "NO!" automatically. So I guess it's kind of too late for that. Best we ignore this and act like nothing happened. If anyone asks, I didn't see anything.

Would that be a "deep fried friend" potato? I began selecting Friends in my GS profile. You just click on a name and select "ADD" and they're you're friend! Immediately! I think - there was some approval process. There have been some inquiries that came back as to what that meant. Well okay, only two. One, alright. One. And another that was more like mild acceptance, sort of a "well if you insist". With all the cool people posting here it seemed like an ideal opportunity. I'm not sure what it meant. From a GS standpoint, is anyone not a friend? I found it interesting that no one refused. No one responded, "Uh, no. Not really". Plus, I don't know if there's anything that comes with it, any special offers, coupons, free stuff. I don't have much free stuff to offer, but if I do, guaranteed - friends get it first. But hey, it can't hurt to be in line, y'know? Beat the rush, early's fine, that's my motto. I figured I'd select every registered user, by the summer, if the system would allow it. But then that would be the same as not selecting anyone, in a way. I could save a lot of time that could be better spent with friends, and just put a note on the profile somewhere that says "If you're reading this you're my friend. Now beat it!" Course, that might seem indescriminate, possibly diluting the meaning of "Friend", I'm not sure. Sort of like some people, they say "oh, I like Judy Ray Bob a lot!' and the response is "Oh, you like everybody". Maybe we should be more picky. But that seems unfriendly in a way. "I'd like to be your friend, but I can only handle about 5 at a time, tops. I'm kinda maxed out - but I could put you down as a first-alternative, how would that be? Or if you're a low-need friend, I could put you in for weekdays, Tuesday and Wednesday's, but no lunches, 'kaaay?" This whole friend business is difficult, much more that it seems on the surface. I'm definitely glad this is out in the open, being discussed amongst friends. Or ... is it....? :lol: <_<

I know if you don't cook them long enough they can end up with a tough taste, chewy. At least, that's been my experience.

Potato! What did the potato say to the cow? "I only have eyes for ewe". Being a "Friend" is much more complicated that it appears at first glance, it seems. I suggest that we set up our friends differently then - maybe everyone on GS could be one person's friend, for a month. Then another, etc. It could go alphabetically. That way, there'd be like 527 "friends" for one person, but just that one. Then it would change every month. So for that one month, anything that one person says everyone agrees with, or at least posts some kind of positive response. It could work, it could.

You should have no threads when it comes to friends, on purpose anyway.

Konichiwa happy people! You're very welcome, polar bear! dmiiller, that's some nice stuff, thank you for the listen. I saw Don Alder perform couple years ago at the Luthiers show in Wndsor, CA, Luther Burbank Center. He's got some videos that have been put up in YouTube - Here's a This one is him playing a 'harp guitar' -

Saucey!!! :biglaugh: I wasn't a bully, I was too busy trying to not get my asz kicked to bully anyone! Being raised Catholic and attending a Catholic school for 8 years of elementary and 2 years of high school, I spent most of that time in a school "uniform", cordouroy black pants, a white shirt and a blue sweater. That was like wearing a sign reading "kick me" for 8 years. I grew up in East Oakland, CA. In East Oak-town you're going to get in a fight at some point in your life, "back in the day". It could be rough in some parts of town - there were girls that could slap the krap out of any two guys, some places. Oakland's a place you want to be very careful what you do. Today, it's different. People don't fight there, they just shoot each other. Much simpler and more efficient. They don't even get out of the car anymore, some places. Sort of a fast-food approach to bullying. Believe it or not I was somewhat sarcastic in my youth and often found myself using that and a little humor to confound the bigger animals. I wasn't a good runner, so I just tried to keep out of trouble. Most of the time though I just avoided the "bullies" and once I got a little older never had too much of a problem. There was a time when you could walk or bus it to just about anywhere in Oakland, although there were some parts you'd want to steer clear of. Today it's much much different.

I'm glad you're diggin' the sand and the surf Chatty! I confess - I'm a surf pup, musically. Dig that sound, although I'm not a water-surfer-er. But I loved that stuff - Pipeline, Walk Don't Run, Sleepwalk, Let's Go Trippin'. Two of my all time best fav's - Surfer Girl, and In My Room. And Don't Worry Baby. And God Only Knows.

"Half-Stank" (adjective) measurement of someone's personal hygeine. "He was way over half-stank after 3 days in the woods camping" Used in 1/4 increments: 1/4 stank - normal levels, able to engage socially with others 1/2 stank - next planned activity should involve soap and water. 3/4 stank - down-wind contact should be avoided Full Stank - the normal condition after a week of at-home telecommuting to work.

Glad y'all liked it! Chatty, it's a tad large at 5 plus meg-a-rastas, so it may have gotten plugged up. Well... Did I miss this - anyone ever heard Mati Haskell - thi s is "Walk Down This Road" Her site HERE Nice sound.

If they are currently standing valiantly in the Household of the Prevailing Disciples, it may go like this... bu-riiinnnnnnnng! bu-riiinnnnnnnng! bu-riiinnnnnnnng! (long lost budski answers phone) "Hello?" (you say) "Knock Knock! " (they respond) "Can you hold on please, there's someone at the door..." You should hang up, they may be gone for awhile....

I'm not going to lose any sleep over it Roy. What do you think of it? Everytime someone says "G-d F-King-D-MMIT" and "J-zuz F-KING CHR-st!" they do the same thing, display their lack of respect. I live in a different world, I guess. I don't care what you believe or don't believe as long as I'm not being forced to accept either one. Some pimply kid or an adult with a stutter and a hungry dog aren't exactly what I'd call "blaspheming", but I guess it'll be big whoopdee doo for awhile. They don't "believe". Fine. Maybe they can start pulling their pants down and waving their d-ks at the camera, add some entertainment value to it. Videos of people talking on Youtube is kind of like watching a book. Y'know?

I'm very sorry to hear that Lisa. Our thoughts are with you. He will be remembered well and I hope to meet up with him again. I Cor. 15:51, 52, 58

Not familiar with any barbershop quartet information coolchef, sorry! B.B. King is out and about! Great, thanks for that heads up coolchef and waysider. Continued prayer and good thoughts will do him good, so we can keep on that, for certain! Well, the weekend around here has been a lot of cleaning, straightening and reorganizing, with some time off for good behavior. I found something I'd all but forgotten about, a recording of a tune I wrote several years ago and then re-recorded in 04. I thought I'd share it, after a bit of tweaking it seems to be all there. My intention was to write a "surf" song, or something that would be have the flavor of the 60's instrumentals that came out of that sound. If you get a sec check it out. It's converted to mp3, and had to keep it semi-large, little over 5 megs I thnk. For what it's worth and for all you musical love bunnies on a chilly Northern California Sunday night - Sonoma Sunset (at Sunrise)

Hmmm, this just in. Perhaps this will shed more like on the Mosgeeters for A la. I know it did for me. The root of the name is "Geeters". I'd always assumed that Geeters was short for Mosgeeters. Not so, apparently. There are actually two completely different breeds of the species. There are Msgeeters, and they are of Irish descent. There are also Mosgeeters, and these are of Scottish descent. The musical buzz-like sounds of both are very similar but distinctly different. Hope I'm not the only one surprised by that! Now - this really surprised me. When the earliest Geeters migrated out of their homeland(s) and came to America with the British settlers, nearly all the males immediately took up with the native species here - the "Skeeters". It was at this time that the names became confused by the Native Americans ("Indians"), and for many years the Ms prefix was thought to indicate the female gender of all Geeters, and the Mos was used to indicate the male. And - this is really interesting - amongst the Scottish Geeters the kilt wearing males were separated even further by name, so that for a time there were "Mosgeeters" - males, and "Masgeeters", which translated meant "Geeter that wear skirt". It's no wonder there's been so much confusion on these critters! I hope this helps.
