No doubt. :)

Not necessarily! How about marrying an excessively rich, but inconsiderate and egoistic woman, who guards her treasure like a dragon? I'd take a poor but understanding and supportive woman any day.

NP: Fleetwood Mac - Don't Stop

Joel, sometimes you are a challenge!

Wait until Oran gets back!

Can I not be gone for a couple of days and you guys not behave?:mad: Between this and the Pit Bull sniping, I shutter to think about what's gonna happen with ya'll in June while I'm vacationing at the beach for over 10 days. :confused: Well, it's like that saying - "A woman is like a fine whine. Either she or you will always whine, whine, whine about something. How about some cheese to go with it? :D

Anselm started it! He said he didn't like Cat Stevens. And then he called me Prowsey. Then he said that all bass players are deaf!

Maybe Anselm is a dog lover like me. I can't say that I'm particularly fond of cats myself. Is "Prissey" a term of endearment for you my friend Richard, or do you view it as derogatory? Again, not much of a fan of Def Leopard. Cool name though. Unfortunately, we started getting SNOW about 5:45PM today (Sunday) and it's now up to about 6 inches and a few more are expected. Pretty rare for us to get snow at all, but very, very rare to get this much. I just saw the week's forecast and the predicted high for Saturday is 68. Go figure! :)

Nobody blames me? You won't really let me get away with all the mischief I've been doing, will you?? :eek:

NP: Johnny Flynn - The Box

Of course not, you wild child. Richard's gonna woop you so bad, it's gonna leave a mark! :mad:

That reminds me of a childhood story that I laugh about every time that I think of it. My dad's dad left the family when dad was fairly young. My dad's brother is only about 4 or so years older than I am. All of the children had married and left home except for my uncle David. My grandmother couldn't control that wild child, so my dad told his mother to mark on a wall calender every day that uncle David badly misbehaved, and that on our weekly visit, dad would take the belt to him for every mark on the calender. I think that I've told you about all the woopins that I got as a hard headed wild child. So, I was delighted that someone else was gong to be the recipient of one or more of them. Next time we visited grandmother Hudson's house, I ran full steam to check on the calender to see if it had marks. My uncle David, probably 12 years old, saw us coming and took off running. I never did get to see him get the belt. I remind him of that from time to time. :)

Oran, my hard headed friend, steady on - I'm really a non violent sort! I'm a man of peace (though, which piece I'm not sure). I'll talk to Joel; that's the best I can do.
Joel, stop being so damn stubborn. Try to see things from different angles. Try to bend like a tree in the wind. Do you get wind Up there (Norway)? I know you don't get night time. Maybe all you all need is a good sleep. I'm sure that sleep would mellow you out. Buy some really thick curtains.

that´s one of the most remarkable sentences i ever read in a bass-forum.
thank you richard

My wife bought us some really thick curtains. Now, when I get up in the night, it's a challenge to find the bathroom.

less cardonnay --> sleep through

Less chardonnay ---> sleep through ---> wet pyjama pants

dave, i am very sorry for your thread... :)

These things happen - especially when wine or beer gets involved. :)

Is Haukey drinking both wine and beer?

Don't be sorry my friend Anselm. That's reserved for the fantastic Patsy Cline. What a singer! Left us much too early, but she left us with a ton of great music. Forget the beer and wine, just enjoy Patsy straight up. :)

Sorry Oren, my friend, but this makes no sense to me.

These things happen - especially when wine or beer gets involved. :)

I had to quit drinking when I moved to Norway. I think that earned me some of my honorary extra years.
We had night all the time not very long ago. I sleep very well, thank you. Perhaps, dear Richard, I actually DO see things from a different perspective? If I didn't, I'd just agree with you! Now, if you only tried to see things from a different perspective, you'd see that I am completely right!!

Uh-oh, I can almost feel the belt hitting my piggy pink bottom already...

NP: Amanda Jenssen - Darling, Go Home

My dad used to call me Sony Boy when he was angry with me, Sony Boy.

I used to listen to Sonny Boy Williamson back in the day when I was a sonny boy.

Richard - did he call Sony Boy right before he woop you? A favorite of mine was "This is gonna hurt me worse than you." How could that be? Later I learned the meaning when correcting my own. :)

You Sonny Boys need to find your Chers. Then post pics. I'm sure that they're easy, right? ;)

I'd actually prefer a Nancy Sinatra. Is that okay?

"And one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you...."

Those words incites a feeling of impending doom in me. Why can't I stop being cheeky?

NP: The UN webcast of their "Unlearning Intolerance" series of seminars

Ah yes. Nancy Sinatra. She could have walked all over me several times and I would have asked for more each time, one boot at a time. :)

Well, I'm straying, but speaking of hot chics and that time period, I'm reminded of another band story. This one's from The Surfin' Birds band, circa 1965-1967. In those days, you could get mic stands that had a bright chrome base. Pretty much a mirror. Well, anyway - the band had a Go Go dancer. Being the evil teenager that I was, it didn't take me long to realize that, when she was dancing near me and my mic stand, I could see all the way up her mini-skirt! Wow, what a thrill for this young bass player. Sure do miss chrome mic stands and mini-skirts. :D

Wooow... those days! How many bands have a dancer as part of their lineup these days? I could only think of the Tubes, and they've been around for 30 years now!

Well, I saw David Byrne on TV the other night, and he had what could be called 'dancers'. (They were primarily rolling around in chairs, but still...)

And of course, a live appearance by, say, Pussycat Dolls involves more dancing than singing, really... Byrne kind of qualifies as quality music, though.
