Give her a shovel and watch that opinion change! 😆

First man: "Check out the horse I got for my wife!"

Second man: "Nice trade!"

And... "Whiskey was invented to prevent the Irish from conquering the World."

This is a very disappointing thread.

(Now, if you were to find a music video of this event... 😏)

What the heck do you expect to do for the next 20+ years then??? 😶

You might as well add Puff the Magic Dragon (since magic supposedly has an Irish connotation with Leprechauns, etc.).  😆

You're welcome! 😉

Just leave the green food coloring out of my micro-brew please. 🙄

Gee James, you could of waited for International Pedantic's Day! 😆

(Have at it.)

I'm also sensing a feedback loop now!  Will SOMEONE please help Gswitz out here???  🤣

Yeah, sounds like agenda driven BS to me. Anything  Microsoft or Google is a virus IMO.

FIxed.

Um, didn't you guys see Scook's post right above yours?  Meng has said the ads were NOT intentional and they are looking into the issue? 🙄

I'm sensing you have some resistance here... 😀

Cue the amp builders!!!

"Domestic Women's Day" just doesn't have the same ring to it...

Ok, ok!!!  I'll turn off my advertising hack.  I was just trying to make enough dosh to buy some gear!  *Sheesh!* 🙄😉

Just get Adblock Plus (a free Chrome extension).  No ads here! 😛

Try setting up on a different song. Once you’re  set up then tackle the real song. 

It helps me to get all the engineers assistant tasks out of the way and leave me to become the recording engineer. I have the arrangement settled before I go into that. 

I have to compartmentalise otherwise I get stuck and obsess over details I’m not really ready to tackle. 

Just time for a quick note. I’m in hospital and they’re coming to take me for an angiogram pre bypass surgery. 

See you all soon. 

Hope everything goes well! 👍

Afterwards we probably need to talk about more appropriate birthday gifts to give yourself! 😉

Although it just might work (most of the time!), I would HIGHLY suggest having all of the memory match exactly.  This may save you from that one time in the future when things are just going wonky and you can't figure out why. 🙂

Do you have a hat with geek on? lol

No, no...  Just like our new start-up business name ("Two Bright Nerds, LLC"), I'm a nerd.  I try not to be too much of a geek. 😉 😆

Them and the Guitar players get all the action. Us stuck behind the keyboards get no love   And trying a Keytar doesn't work!

For those that only use one core, I wonder if you can force them to use different cores...  I remember seeing a video (Linus Tech Tips maybe?) that was showing how little having extra cores helps until you tweak things...  That would be cool to spread things out!

Ooo...  Being a nerd, that was a FUN video!  I can already see that his videos would be a huge (but enjoyable!) time-suck for me - lol!  I've subscribed so I can enjoy his stuff once I'm not working 90+ hour weeks... 🙂

Bagpipes have their place, but they are just too easy to make jokes about. The thing that gets me is the drone pipe is intentionally out of tune and as a sax player who has to adjust the intonation of every note with my lip, I my ears want me to correct it.

But if it was in tune the bagpipes wouldn't sound right.

Bayou Bill, that sounds like heaven to me, but not nearly as good as playing sax in an all-girl cabaret in New Orleans.

When I was 18 I was underage but still playing in a band that did night clubs, We got a gig playing in a strip club. Mostly 12 bar blues in 12/8 time as this was right before strippers started disrobing to rock music.

It's a good thing they had us sitting down so my hormonal appreciation didn't show.

The star of the show was a girl who's name I forget, but the byline was "with her million dollar wardrobe". None of which (except for pasties and g-string) stayed on throughout the show.

The dancers were quite nice to us, but the strict rule was no dating anyone who works there and absolutely no leaving with one of the customers. As an 18 year old kid, I couldn't help but dream about doing more than playing sax for them.

It was a good gig and lasted one season.

Oh, and we actually got paid for that!!!

I thought getting paid for sax was illegal, no? 

(I'll get me coat...😀)

So far the inability to shut my eyes without seeing horrors the like of which I had previously thought to be unimaginable. I may never be able to sleep again.

Excellent!  More studio time! 👍😆

(Of course, it may change your chosen genre(s) towards a darker setting though!  LOL.)

What's the difference between slicing up bagpipes and slicing up an onion?

Nobody cries for the bagpipes. 😀
