My roommate bought a Marshall for me to use several years ago. It's ALL I play through when I do play! Old story... The Tolex on one of the cabs I bought was torn, so I took it to a local guy who had a large shop at his house. He did a great job and, while yakking, the following joke full-stack was born: This actually folds up into a little, suitcase-looking form with a handle for carrying it. Here it is next to the real half-stack that I used. The Marshall head is a 1979 JMP that Mike Soldano modded for me (FREAKIN' AWESOME!). This setup (not mine) was what Line 6 actually sampled as the Marshall in their Pod Pro kidney beans and rack gear. The fake stack actually ended up on stage in Las Vegas for a spoof show put on by Poison's keyboardist Stu called Hair Guitar. I got to be the roadie who was in a couple of the skits (including moving that fake stack only for the audience to see a tiny 1x12" speaker behind it! ?).

A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran I always had to laugh when this song came out, because the DJ's would always say "I Ran from a Flock Of Seagulls!" ? Side-note: They're real name should have probably been "A Frock Of Hairdressers" since that's what they all were! ?

That's only for online deaths Bob. If you died offline, there's a different form to fill out. ?

Wolfsheim - The Sparrows And The Nightengales

Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride

Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf

Reminds me of this classic. ?

I still have my Waves Gold AND Diamond boxes. I briefly tried the Gold before getting the Diamond (along with the APA shown below) but, in the fun of losing just about everything, the two boxes got lost in storage and I only found them again last year. I started thinking "Woo hoo! I can sell the Diamond box 'cause it's still new and un-opened!" Nope. Wrong. After many back-and-forth emails with Waves (which included requiring me to break the seal), I did finally get the product registered without having to send in the box (one of their requests), but it's something like $150 to transfer ownership! For just the Diamond box, I paid $1,650! ? During my bankruptcy, I was "required" to sell pretty much all of my music gear (I was "allowed" to keep $300 worth according to the rules, but I did manage to hide quite a few things with friends or storage). That said, thanks to a bad eBay auction, the nice, never-used, Waves Audio Processing Accelerator shown below went for all of $340 to some very lucky ****! You can see the price I had to pay on the box... ? That's almost $4,000 that I'll never see again! ? I still have the Gold and Diamond boxes and would really love to sell them so I can blow the money on frivolous stuff like back-rent... But, a $150 transfer fee? Really??? ?

A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door. "Hurry!" she said. "Stand in the corner." She quickly rubbed baby oil all over him and then she dusted him with talcum powder. "Don't move until I tell you to," she whispered. "Just pretend you're a statue." "What's this, honey?" the husband inquired as he entered the room. "Oh, it's just a statue," she replied nonchalantly. "The Smiths bought one for their bedroom. I liked it so much, I got one for us, too." No more was said about the statue, not even later that night when they went to sleep. Around two in the morning the husband got out of bed, went to the kitchen and returned a while later with a sandwich and a glass of milk. "Here," he said to the 'statue'. "Eat something. I stood like an idiot at the Smiths' for three days and nobody offered me as much as a glass of water." ?

Poor Kenny... First he thinks there's anything wrong with this thread! Then he thinks he had credibility... ?

Pork, the other white meat? ?

And here I was going to say his name was Mark! (Because that looks like a check Mark to me! ? )

Ok, ok... To be honest, I didn't actually listen. I value my ears and sanity (at least a little on that last part! ?).

It's what this thread needs! ? ?

Probably from the Portland Metro Area... ?

*Waits to see if Rain posts THAT Nine Inch Nails song that would associate with "Animal"...* ?

*Found!* Here's a picture of a couple of Waves employees trying to fix the problem the CEO caused! ?

(It's not just for Bapu's Random Thoughts fred! ?

Just popped in to see if others got the email from the Wave CEO and it looks like they have! I can only imagine how much "feedback" they got! ?

Wait... I didn't get my change! ?
