[QUOTE=Seafroggys]yeah a 5 year gap is a little too much............unless the price is right :naughty:[/QUOTE]
Ahh 5 years aint bad at all really, I don't think it's that much.

Seafroggys 10-22-2005 12:33 AM

she'll be 14, and by then i'll be 19......

yeah its different when you're young....

now if i'm 19, and i find someone who's 24......oh yeah, different story

Speaking of which, to find out the youngest you can safely date someone, take your age, half it, and add 7. Doesn't work to people younger than 14, but most people here probably aren't.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]god damn people and their uptightness. its the fricken internet, loosen up...

personally i prefer older women than me. Being 18 that opens up a lot of options, and a lot of good ones at that :cool:[/QUOTE]

I was just joking man, I knew you wern't being serious.

Ya jim your right a 5 year gap isn't that bad but it is somewhat different when the girl, in this case, is 14 and the guy is 19. Those are two totaly differents sides of the hs spectrum, which would seem somewhat odd. But as soon as people are in university or past that, that oddness changes and it doesn't matter anymore, noone seems to care about the age difference but when it is a 5 year diff in HS people take almost an offence to it.

Double Bass Jim 10-22-2005 12:36 AM

Ahh yes, it's all in the age balance.

rockindrummer 10-22-2005 12:38 AM

That it is jimmy, that it is.

haha that's weird, how'd you figure that out.

Seafroggys 10-22-2005 12:40 AM

its just one of those urban legend things that gets passed around...

i actually like it, it works fairly well...a 60 year old could date a 37 year old...I could date a 16 year old (which I wouldn't) and going the opposite way, the oldest someone can be and still be safe to date me is 24 (in a month, when i turn 19).

Guys on here always love to call Jim by pet names. :confused:

rockindrummer 10-22-2005 12:52 AM

^ How is jimmy a pet name? It is more of a nick name, or atleast i've never heard of a pet with the name jimmy, normally it is just some gangster in one of those old school gangster movies.

Ok well last night I put my new heads on my toms and the sounded pretty good from a couple taps, but then this morning when I was playing around on my kit I noticed that my rack toms was buzzing. I figured out that the head hadn't seated properly. So I cranked it down, to roughly the same tension all around, in hopes of it seating better while leaving it under the tension all day and night. I'll tune it back down to my normal playing pitch and see if it worked out properly. If it doesn't does anyone have any other tips on seating a head?

Epiphender 10-22-2005 12:53 AM

Ehh I just put the head on, hold the hoop, and press in the middle for awhile.

Give the center of the head some firm press downs with the palms. Crack that glue in good.

[QUOTE=Epiphender]Guys on here always love to call Jim by pet names. :confused:[/QUOTE]
a pet name would be like

jimmy wimmykins or something






plz dont hurt me

rockindrummer 10-22-2005 01:08 AM

I did press in the middle the first time and heard a bit of glue crack but not much. I'll try it again under the higher tension and hold it for a while.

EDIT: I just tried and heard no glue cracking. I put a fair amount of weight into it too.

I always feel uncomfortable around older women. My ex was only 4 months older an it still felt weird. The missus now is 8 months younger. S'all good

Voodoo Rabbit 10-22-2005 10:45 AM

I know this post is going to seem like all the other 'Users Going Off The Rails' and I'll probably get banned.

But, it seems like I have angered several people here.

May I just ask* you a question?

Do you [I]actually[/I] know me?
What in the* f[I]u[/I]cking name in hell right does it give you to be saying such things.

Yes, I know I am loser, and I am ugly, and I probably should go kill myself, but get a F[I]U[/I]CKING life.

Ya F[I]u[/I]cking peice of bloody s[I]h[/I]ite.

Thanks.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, I do Swear a lot.

Norsiedals 10-22-2005 10:51 AM

Was this because of my Nyquill statement :confused: I was being serious. You are correct I do not know you, But I was not being mean to either. I always take Nyquill when I am sick :)

Voodoo Rabbit 10-22-2005 10:53 AM

Oh, No.

It was just something that had been brewing up for a while.

It was nothing to do with you, or any of the other half-nice people on here.

Norsiedals 10-22-2005 10:55 AM

Bah, Don't worry about it then. It is just the intraweb after all :p

Voodoo Rabbit 10-22-2005 10:58 AM

Oh, wait, I don't know whether I should be saying [I]this[/I]. They might think I am making myself sound like a f[I]u[/I]cking Lord among men.

I take things to heart.

And, Oh [I]Please[/I] forgive me, for saying that.
I make myself sound [I]perfect[/I].


Sorry.

I shouldn't be taking it out on you, or anything.

RushHourSoul 10-22-2005 11:17 AM

yee haw. 2000 posts. what a day for me to go out and get drunk. :chug:

oh, and this seems like an appropriate place to tell y'all. the streak has ended. i was forced to molest the hell out of myself yesterday. a full 7 days was more than i thought was possible for myself, though. i'll try for 10 days another time. :lol:

shinybob 10-22-2005 12:21 PM

Hello there...
I'm not a percussion-ist, but I had to post this here:
"You're such a grody attention whore you stupid fusty walrus!. And I bet you smell like fish, too."
This comment was aimed at a VERY good friend of mine by a member of this board. I just wanted to say that i think it's disgraceful. They've never met her, and I can tell you she is definately not attention seeking in th LEAST. I have to coax her to play her drums when I'm around as shes so embarrassed. And she doesn't smell like fish.......she has a more...floral scent. So there :p
