They are Muppets called the Yip Yips.

Puns should be graded on a circular scale. The worst puns are the best puns

Colecovision was the height of the art IMHO.

Probably slop

Thanks. That’s what swallowed my time one summer about 9 years ago.

I have no particular love for ICP, but man, they don’t deserve that.

The stripes are red oak (stained grey) and yellow poplar (stained blue) for a top over what was the spruce cabinet of a 60s transistor organ. Neck, hardware and electronics are all Chinese. The chickenhead knobs cost more than the pickups, but I love how those filtertron clones sound. I did put orange drop caps on the pots though. Lots of variation on the tone knobs.

Hell yea you did! And I applaud your bold choice to not bury that top in gloss. It looks like one of those intense pencil drawings. Take it to the nearest guitar shop and pay the set-up guy to do his magic.

This thing plays like a dream and I promise you that is not my fault.

Decent buds are as good as earplugs where I work. I seldom crank the volume. If I’m on my tractor no one is around or I don’t use anything. It’s a quiet little 25 horse diesel so that’s not bad. I’m a musician and very protective of my ears, but thanks for the concern.

I like the sound of what’s going on around me. I enjoy catching little snippets of random conversations, the birds singing, the exhaust notes of passing vehicles. I prefer to be aware of my surroundings instead of insulting myself from them. At home, I’m very literally in the woods, and occasionally feral hogs may cross my path, but they make a lot of noise. When I’m in town the variety of sounds is novel and entertaining to me.

I wear earbuds at work, or if I’m running my tractor or lawnmower. I do drive, but I don’t always have the radio playing in my car. Sometimes quiet is just nice.

Hell, there’s a famous singer with my whole name, and I won’t even give up music. Why the hell would I change my name over something someone else did?

Look, I don’t make the rules.

The fuck does that even mean? I’d like my taxes to pay for healthcare and education, at yeah food and housing for folks that need. I don’t mind spending my money or my time on worthwhile things.

Border control is horseshit, the war on drugs was lost before it even started, and bailing out companies that made bad, selfish decisions is stupid and benefits me not at all. Blowing up other countries, likewise, does not a goddamn thing for me.

A government isn’t supposed to save money, it’s supposed to spend it, but it should be spent well, in ways that benefit the people it serves. I’m not a tankie, but I ain’t no shitlib centrist either.

Psh, we don’t do anything but kill brown people with that money, well, and pay for Trump to golf.

In the end

Cocaine for the ghosts in your blood, of course.

Despite headlines, it hasn’t gotten that desperate yet. If nothing changes this month December will likely go down in history books. For now people are still trying to avoid squaring off against the brute squads (ICE), of give trump an excuse to use the regular army against us before they are too hungry to be loyal. When the food banks start running dry is when the violence will start.

That is a solid list of must see films.

Moaning softly

Ya otter shut up if you really don’t have anything to add to the conversation.
