The blue Rics have an issue with the paint, it runs or something. The sealer doesn't work well on the blue.

Maybe they've fixed it by now.

[QUOTE=sr800bkBassist;13359448]is there a reason you bitch about everything?[/QUOTE]

Like how Im bitching right now about how for two days you've made god knows how many posts that are just repeating something someone else said with a your mom or otherwise stupid spin.

PS. i haven't even done one "your mom". be more observant.

[QUOTE=sr800bkBassist;13359471]better than bitching about people doing it.

No, because my U2 cover hasn't come in yet.

that would have corresponded better with the [i]cry[/i]Pod joke if you had said somehow tied the name U2 in with the term [i]BooHoo[/i].

Oh man I haven't posted on MX in AGES

Good_rats: Hows your huge and ungodly white *** doing?

/agrees


hows it going

So I got so mashed last night and woke in someones garden, whith it raining and thundering.

This sucks, my marching band has been shafted by inconsistent judges two years running.
I think our director is seriously considering moving us to a different "league", another local school already made the switch a few years back with the same complaint.

hmmm... soooo weird to go back to fingers after having played with a pick for an hour :p

Afternoon all.

New pics of the EUB in the Lutherie forum for those who are interested.


So how goes it with everyone except for waking up in gardens.

:wave:

Heya LS, how you?

just woke up, hungry

[quote=Left Shoe;13360427]just woke up, hungry[/quote]


Heading into evening for me.

Had a good lunch. tired myself out a bit hacksawing a piece of brass, tough SOB to cut by hand.

Heya lemony

hey ebe, hows it going?

To Lemony:

Pretty good. Got some work done on the EUB this weekend, but not as much as I would have liked.



I just found this.

Bloody hilarious.


[COLOR=#6365ce]Alleged to be an actual letter sent to a bank in the United States. The
bank thought it amusing enough to publish in the New York Times (but word
is still out on whether they took it seriously enough to make any changes).

Dear Sir:

I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavoured to
pay my plumber last month. By my calculations some three nanoseconds must
have elapsed between his presenting the check, and the arrival in my
account of the funds needed to honour it. I refer, of course, to the
automatic monthly deposit of my entire salary, an arrangement which, I
admit, has only been in place for eight years.

You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and
also for debiting my account with $50 by way of penalty for the
inconvenience I caused to your bank. My thankfulness springs from the
manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial
ways.

You have set me on the path of fiscal righteousness. No more will our
relationship be blighted by these unpleasant incidents, for I am
restructuring my affairs in 2002, taking as my model the procedures,
attitudes and conduct of your very bank. I can think of no greater
compliment, and I know you will be excited and proud to hear it.

To this end, please be advised about the following changes:

I have noticed that whereas I personally attend to your telephone calls and
letters, when I try to contact you I am confronted by the impersonal,
ever-changing, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become.

From now on I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person.
My mortgage and loan repayments will, therefore and hereafter, no longer be
automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed personally and
confidentially to an employee at your branch whom you must nominate. You
will be aware that it is an offence under the Postal Act for any other
person to open such an envelope.

Please find attached an Application Contact Status which I require your
chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in
order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me,
there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical
history must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details
of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and abilities) must
be accompanied by documented proof.

In due course I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she
must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28
digits but, again, I have modelled it on the number of button presses
required to access my account balance on your phone bank service.

As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Let me level the
playing field even further by introducing you to my new telephone system,
which you will notice, is very much like yours.

My Authorized Contact at your bank, the only person with whom I will have
any dealings, may call me at any time and will be answered by an automated
voice. Press buttons as follows:

1.. To make an appointment to see me.
2.. To query a missing payment.
3.. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.
4.. To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.
5.. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.
6.. To transfer the call to my mobile phone in case I am not at home.
7.. To leave a message on my computer a password to access my computer is
required. Password will be communicated at a later date to the contact.
8.. To return to the main menu, to listen to options 1 through 7.
9.. To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put
on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. While
this may on occasion involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for
the duration.

This month I've chosen a refrain from "The Best of Woodie Guthrie: Oh, the
banks are made of marble, With a guard at every door, And the vaults are
filled with silver, That the miners sweated for."

After twenty minutes of that, our mutual contact will probably know it by
heart.

On a more serious note, we come to the matter of cost. As your bank has
often pointed out, the ongoing drive for greater efficiency comes at a cost
which you have always been quick to pass on me. Let me repay your kindness
by passing some costs back.

First, there is a matter of advertising material you send me. This I will
read for a fee of $20 per page. Inquiries from your nominated contact will
be billed at $5 per minute of my time spent in response. Any debits to my
account, as, for example, in the matter of the penalty for the dishonored
check, will be passed back to you. My new phone service runs at 75 cents a
minute. You will be well advised to keep your inquiries brief and to the
point. Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an
establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.

May I wish you a happy, if ever-so-slightly less prosperous, New Year?

Your Humble Client,


Name Withheld[/COLOR]

"HOW TO POOP AT WORK"

We've all been there but don't like to admit it. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORKPOOP is inevitable. For those who hate pooping at work, following is the Survival Guide for taking a dump at work.

CROP DUSTING: When farting, you walk briskly around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn't know where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has left your pants.

FLY BY: This is the act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in and check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.

ESCAPEE: This is a fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing a poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.

JAILBREAK: When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.

COURTESY FLUSH: The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits the water. This reduces the amount of airtime the poop has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.

WALK OF SHAME: Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just stunk the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. This very uncomfortable walk can be avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH.

OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER: This is a colleague who poops at work and is
damn proud of it. You will often see an Out Of The Closet Pooper enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under his or her arm. Always look
around the office for the Out Of The Closet Pooper before entering the bathroom.

THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N): A group of co-workers who band
together to ensure emergency pooping goes off without incident. This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts of Out Of The Closet Poopers, and identify SAFE HAVENS.

SAFE HAVENS: A Safe Haven is a seldom-used bathroom somewhere in the
building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the bathroom.

TURD BURGLAR: This is someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.

CAMO-COUGH: A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a stall is called a Camo-Cough. This can be used to cover-up a WATERMELON, or to alert potential Turd Burglars. The Camo-Cough is very effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.

ASTAIRE: An Astaire is a subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential Turd Burglars that you are occupying a stall. This will relieve all doubt that the stall is occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooper can poop in peace.

WATERMELON: A watermelon is a big poop that creates a loud splash when
hitting the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. (See CAMO-COUGH).

HAVANA OMELET: A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by an Escapee. Try using a Camo-Cough with an Astaire.

UNCLE TODD: An Uncle Todd is a bathroom user who seems to linger around forever. This person could spend extended lengths of time in front of the mirror or sitting on the pot. An Uncle Todd makes it difficult to relax while on the crapper, as you should always wait to poop when the bathroom is empty. This benefits you as well as other bathroom attendees. Hope the Survival Guide helps, as the WORKPOOP is an inevitable part of life.

hello

Aloha

The funny part is that I employ a number of those tactics at work.
