What are those super tiny cars that they drive in Europe that are even smaller than the Mini Coopers here in America?

I want one.

The Brad 09-26-2006 11:47 PM

Smart Car.

eww...0-60 in 15.5?!

No thanks.

Although, I could throw a turbo-charger in it...

The Brad 09-26-2006 11:59 PM

It's about fuel efficiency?

[quote=HELLonWHEELS;13336987]it wouldn't fit[/quote]

I'd make that s.o.b. fit. I'd put her in the front seat or on the roof if I had to.

Dual exhaust and that thing would be ready to go.

HELLonWHEELS 09-27-2006 12:42 AM

Does figured Purpleheart exist?

FunkMetalBass 09-27-2006 12:43 AM

I'm sure it does, but it's so incredibly dense and tough to cut through, it'd be tough to find or work with.

Not only that, $$$.

HELLonWHEELS 09-27-2006 12:45 AM

I want to find a pic of that. That would make the greatest top ever!

ebe9 09-27-2006 12:46 AM

Morning all.

HELLonWHEELS 09-27-2006 12:49 AM

Its night here. Almost 23 hundred hours here

I think purpleheart is fugly myself, but I don't really count in your decision, so w/e.

HELLonWHEELS 09-27-2006 12:54 AM

Thats not figured though. I have a crazy looking peice of wood in my mind it doesn't look like normal purpleheart.


Does burled purpleheart exist as well?

Its a great wood build and tone wise, but the looks also just do not appeal to me.

I like either dark figured woods or light woods. A combination of the two always makes for some interesting contrast.

Probably, but it'd be even more uncommon than purpleheart already is.

Lyman is also perversely proud that his brother signed up to fight in Vietnam and is selected to serve, stating that “the army was so glad to get my brother that they turned him into a Marine” (450). Continuing on to say that, “they really wanted him for his Indian nose. He had a nose big and sharp as a hatchet, like the nose on Red Tomahawk, the Indian who killed Sitting Bull.” (451). This passage is particularly disturbing because Lyman seems to revel in the fact that he enjoys his brother’s resemblance to Red Tomahawk, the Sioux native who supported assimilation and worked under the U.S. Army’s Seventh Calvary when he shot his Sioux elder and spiritual leader in the head for opposing governmental assimilationist policies and his outcry when he was being taken into custody.

Yes/No?

Yes. A bit twisted on the brothers part. But I like the analysis.

Sounds good until the last part of the last sentence.

"was being taken into custody"

Too many linking verbs. It creates a weaker sentence.

try "while they (<-specify who they is) took him into custody."

The Brad 09-27-2006 01:14 AM

I could just nix the outcry part since it is particularly weak, but that's really the reason he was shot. He was Public Enemy No.1 because they thought his sentiment might catch on, etc.

Link that in then, something along the lines of "he was removed to prevent his mindset from garnering favour with others"

neatobassman 09-27-2006 01:18 AM

do you guys know of any good tube preamps?

The Brad 09-27-2006 01:19 AM

Wow, he shot him with his own gun too.

Probably something Aggie.

If it's important, don't nix it. It's just that the placement of that clause is difficult. The sentence is long enough already and is particularly hard to follow. Find some other way to put it in. Hell, even just say that.

"The man was Public Enemy No.1 - for they believed his sentiment would catch on - and thusly, they shot him."

Or something to that degree.
