That was creative! ?

Don't do it! That should only be done after you've passed. "He's dead, we should barium..." ~ Cemetery workers probably

Kids who are too young to have ever seen them: "What's a record?" ?

Mind scrambler: Nothing is truly random. ?

Yeah... Been there! When I was wiped out by all the illegal doings of the so-called "credit crunch" in 2008-9, I lost two houses, my studio and over $820k... It took me two years of living in a 9'x10' room at a friend's house before I could earn enough to even declare bankruptcy! Although I was required to sell everything (you're only allowed to keep $300 worth of musical equipment), I did manage to squirrel some things into storage, so I was in the same boat as you for a while, but my current storage unit is actually covered by my car & renter's insurance (about $70 / month). I feel quite fortunate about that! I had to sell one of my custom guitars (to Space Cowboy, another of our lost members... R.I.P. Bo!), but my luthier "bought" the other and I should get that back eventually. After ten years I only just bought my first new bits of gear this month! It's a long road, but I hope things turn better for you soon Keni!

Yep. Find a purpose you love and you'll never be bored. ?

I'm having flashbacks to when Dave (BitFlipper) had his gear stolen. ? Although this sucks big time, I'm guessing you do have insurance on the storage unit and, because it IS a storage unit, the managers there should not only have video, but most places know exactly who's on the property (my current one requires everyone to enter a code to get both in AND out). I'm crossing my fingers that they get caught. However, make sure you remember to put that Marshall Full Stack and Korg Tritan on the stolen list! ?

200 watts!!! Holy Sound Wars Batman! I bet you can peel wallpaper off with that! ?

Not sure if I should admit this, but I read that title too quickly and saw "Hooters and Bar Wankers!" ?

Judging by the current state of political affairs (which I know we can't talk about), I'd say this situation should be considered a disability and Fwrend should qualify for Government assistance! ??

Wow, that was a pretty beefy post there Craig! Have you ever considered doing some writing? (?) Although I always try to have a digital (and, therefore, searchable) version of something, I'm still one of those old-farts that likes to be able to read a physical book. In fact, I still have some of your (Mr. Other Craig) books here! ??

I'm left out again... ?

Rather like most of us posting around here! ?

Hey, when you only have ten fingers and ten toes, you do the best that you can, roight? ?

For the few of you that aren't already over the hill. ?

They used to, however they discovered that tasting like dirty laundry helped them avoid being eaten.

Sounds about right, Pwalpwal is just starting to have fun and the Police arrive! LOL. ?

Does the houser need a mouser? (Actual efficiency not guaranteed! ? )

If it helps any, the year 2000 was not a leap year (though the year 1900 was)... ?

Thank you Paulo! I know now EXACTLY what to get certain friends for Christmas! ?
