You don't think you should be able to enjoy some humor? Some people go through life without being able to laugh at the things life teaches all of us. Sadly, without being able to laugh at one's self it is easy to become bitter; some go so far as to think they know best how everyone else should act or even run a business that isn't theirs. Best to enjoy a good belly laugh each day and maybe learn a new skill (as you pointed out in a post here, "even Captain Jim is learning something from these posts.") I didn't take that as you were surprised that I could learn something, regardless of how you meant it. Personally, I found learning to do basic guitar set up years ago to be fulfilling and good for the pleasure of playing. Some people enjoy writing fiction. Some enjoy an adrenaline rush, like poking a bear. I'm all for any outlet that makes one happy.

So, yes, jdrnd, even you should be able to enjoy some humor. Wishing you a delightful day.

My day IS delightful
grrrrrrr means I'm happy


If I said "Oralcolostomy" that would mean my day is like a fungulating kielbasa. You don't want your day to be described like that


The "j" in jdrnd stands for Jeff

Well this is fun. I have nothing to add, per what Abe Lincoln said ... it’s beyond my poor power to add or subtract.

just played lave me and lava pro guitars, i did not believe it but i love them , they sound very good, a bit metallic like a dobro but really good and the effects are great. any other opinions. however lava pro is not confotable to play for its strange ovation shape. a very strong sound. very deep and i don’y know how it is possible but sound is deep also on the smaller guitars and they look vero cool.
an other strange thing:i’m obsessed from string spacing that in those guitars is narrow, but i did not feel so narrow i don’t know why but it was very confortable

Latest Breaking News.
The chinese have discovered
Carbon fiber trees as an excellent
source for making furniture.
Cites is considering putting the
Blackphlegm tree on its class 4 list.
Meaning special documentation may need to accompany your guitar
if you attempt to cross the border
into California. A sad day indeed.

On another note..
Bob Taylor has bought a sustainable
Blackphlegm orchard in
the coal mining region of
SW Pennsylvania.
Taylor said soil conditions here are ideal
for our beloved Blackphlegm trees.
Trees said to
grow here exibit a carbon fiber
that is stiffer but lack the
solid color so loved by guitarists.
Mr Taylor says this color variation
is the cost of environmental
sustainability for our beloved Blackphlegm trees. He concludes
that consumers will just have to
get used to it..
Taylors newest design the 919ceb.
will sport its new cf bracing dubbed "O" bracing
which is a single brace wrapped around the
Guitars sidewall. The new "O" Brace is said
to flex (expand and contract) at a different rate
than the rest of the guitar. Thus making it the
first carbon fiber guitar to react to environmental
changes. Spokesman/designer Andy Powers
Says the guitars new bracing reflects Taylors commitment
to our changing environment. They will start
production in their 900 series guitars first.
Because they are the most expensive.
But expect the coal mine O braced Guitars to follow in the 8 and 700 series soon.

And that is a good thing? Sounds like belated April 1 news.

Further reason a CF harvest should be pursued in earnest. . .
