[QUOTE=PaulSimonon;13630250]Shyeah, you take it from your driver's ed place or what?[/QUOTE]

Yeah. He had me do a parallel park in the parking lot without a car in front of me or behind me.

Jamie 11-14-2006 07:08 PM

Guess who passed their driving test this morning!!!! :D

Hahaha, niiiice. I didn't even parallel park at all...



BTW, I might be playing two sets at a battle of the bands during December at the Ben and Ari's off of SR 37.... You should totally come and watch me groove. Especially in my jam band...

Parallel parking sucks.

It's not that bad at all if you are taught right.

I'll definitely try to get to that gig

I was taught right, but I just don't like doing it.

What I need is one of those Lexus' that automatically parallel park.

PaulSimonon 11-14-2006 07:17 PM

I'll let you know what's going on as we get closer, none of it is solid as of right now. Just don't expect me to be pulling off a lot of flashy/technical stuff. You might see some tapping, some slapping, but mostly low key grooves.

Killer Fridge 11-14-2006 07:40 PM

Ahh, I get to play Sir Duke this week with my band "Dr Headlock and the Cowpunchers". Im so stoked.

Heres my rendition with the original panned to the right, and me panned to the left, so the distinction between the "good" original and the "sloppy" cover can be recognised :D This is really a test to see how my new selection of strings sounded recorded, because they just sound so damn good on my bass live, there had to be a setback. So far, none. They are DR Lowriders, 40-100 gauge, and they are, so far, my favourite strings. Ever. Ive never heard this bass sound so good

Takes a few seconds to start

Strings rock. I can't wait till I change the 20-month old Elixirs on my Ibanez. I bet it will just sing after.

Hello :wave:

Spaceman Spiff 11-14-2006 07:54 PM

I just took a shower because I was bored.

It didn't kill enough time.

Nights like this I wish I had weed.

Post it.

I command it of thee.

Spaceman Spiff 11-14-2006 08:08 PM

So, I have about 5-6 hours to kill until I'm sleeping and I'm about ready to snap. I actually have absolutely nothing to do, not even homework! ARGH!

BenJammin 11-14-2006 08:10 PM

Play bass, duh.

The Brad 11-14-2006 08:12 PM

[I]Well I took it in to the bank today and the teller thought it was fake or something? I really don't know, she was just acting real weird through the whole transaction. So it's nothing against you, but I am just going to wait to ship it until I have confirmation that it has cleared. Hope you understand

Again nothing against you, sorry for the delay.
-Brad[/I]

Considerate enough?

Killer Fridge 11-14-2006 08:12 PM

I would just like to return the attention back to strings for about 1 minute.

Just long enough to say this - I LOVE DR LOWRIDERS. They growl perfectly for the Thumb, a problem I seemed to be having with almost all other strings, these capture it perfectly.

That is all

And what was that a reply to, or message for? I am confused :confused:

Spaceman Spiff 11-14-2006 08:14 PM

I don't even feel like it. :upset:

I just don't want to be weed because I'm trying to save money to buy a microphone.

I have $40 saved up so far, and I found $20 of it on the ground a few days ago. So that was lucky. I'm considering just buying a gram off this guy I know. He's got good stuff.

But as I said, I don't want to spend any money. CRAP! What a dilemma.

Either:
a) I buy some pot and I'm out $10 and down to 30
b) I kill myself and how much money I have won't matter anyway

Which is the better choice?

:p

The Brad 11-14-2006 08:15 PM

DR strings are teh best. Just ask Dime and Alexi. ;)

It's a reply to:
Yup, that's the correct address. There shouldn't be any delay in the money order cashing. But then, I'm no bank. :hmm:

The majesty that is "The Brad"

I like option C.

You mean a dead guy and Faglexi Gayho?


lololololololololol


I'm just playin'. But seriously, someone called Alexi Laiho that and it was one of the dumbest/funniest/dumbest things I had ever read, which is why I remember it.

Doesn't that mean I'd have to be drunk?

I have no booze. :upset:

Yeah I was going for the dead guy aspect and hoping other people had seen the PR commercial with Alexi for DR strings where he bites the box?

Speaking of gay, have you seen the lyrics for the homosexual version of [I]Godhead's Lament[/I]?

How hot is that?!

PaulSimonon 11-14-2006 08:25 PM

So, I need some acoustic guitar songs to learn. I'm bored, and just learned "Blackbird". Dissapointingly easy.

HELLonWHEELS 11-14-2006 08:25 PM

Is that your car Brad?
