I never made the connection

I've got a green one but I'm thinking about stripping it down and painting it magenta. Do you think that might affect the value?

I noticed there are now over 250 posts, presumably none of which have been read. That's impressive.

It was like that when i bought it.

absolutely 100% original condition, except for the tuners, nut, frets, finish, pickups, electronics, bridge and knobs. original strings! major mojo!!

In July 1962, a 1.44 megaton (6.0 PJ) United States nuclear test in space, 400 kilometres (250 mi) above the mid-Pacific Ocean, called the Starfish Prime test, demonstrated to nuclear scientists that the magnitude and effects of a high altitude nuclear explosion were much larger than had been previously calculated. Starfish Prime also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 1,445 kilometres (898 mi) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights, setting off numerous burglar alarms and damaging a telephone company microwave link.[7]

Starfish Prime was the first successful test in the series of United States high-altitude nuclear tests in 1962 known as Operation Fishbowl. The subsequent Operation Fishbowl tests gathered more data on the high-altitude EMP phenomenon.

The Bluegill Triple Prime and Kingfish high-altitude nuclear tests of October and November 1962 in Operation Fishbowl finally provided electromagnetic pulse data that was clear enough to enable physicists to accurately identify the physical mechanisms that were producing the electromagnetic pulses.[8]

The EMP damage of the Starfish Prime test was quickly repaired because of the ruggedness (compared to today)[9] of the electrical and electronic infrastructure of Hawaii in 1962.

The relatively small magnitude of the Starfish Prime EMP in Hawaii (about 5600 volts/metre) and the relatively small amount of damage done (for example, only 1 to 3 percent of streetlights extinguished)[10] led some scientists to believe, in the early days of EMP research, that the problem might not be as significant as was later realized. Newer calculations[9] showed that if the Starfish Prime warhead had been detonated over the northern continental United States, the magnitude of the EMP would have been much larger (22 to 30 kilovolts/metre) because of the greater strength of the Earth's magnetic field over the United States, as well as the different orientation of the Earth's magnetic field at high latitudes. These new calculations, combined with the accelerating reliance on EMP-sensitive microelectronics, heightened awareness that the EMP threat could be a very significant problem.

1. Listening to the Byrds play "Draft Morning". It it is quite clever how Hillman and McGuinn's voices were blended so that they sounded like a single Dave Crosby. Still immoral that they "finished" his song without Crosby's consent.

2. Is it possible to disdain every flavor of Faygo and still be considered a Juggalo?

This same thread is occurring right now in a parallel universe, only backwards.

I don't care what you say, if you keep doing that your going to have to see a proctologist. Or worse!!!!!!

Leinenkugel Fireside Nut Brown was beaten soundly by Yuengling as a chaser for a rack of ribs at the Rendezvous this evening. The beer was not at the Rendezvous, but at the Flying Saucer, although that's purely irrelevant. After a suitable pause, it may soon be time to sample additional liquids to chase some blues at the Rum Boogie Cafe and other establishments in the area. Might need to stop for a consultation with Dr Feelgood Potts before retiring in anticipation of another days work tomorrow. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.

"Do I need a bone nut?"

The beer was not at the Rendezvous, but at the Flying Saucer, although that's purely irrelevant...

Whoa, is that a fellow beer knurd in our midst? As Bill S. Preston, Esquire would say ... "Most excellent!!!"

What?

Hey, I'm allowed to read them all, alright?!? I'm the OP! Are you down with OPP? (yeah you know me)

And thanks for your support everyone. I find it highly ironic that of all the threads I've started, the one that got the most responses BY FAR is about ABSOLUTE BUPKIS. Brilliant! That's why I love you guys.

Incidentally, what the hell does it take to get the green light blinking? Sheesh ...

I agree 100% with the OP's statement that all Telecasters should have a contoured body, and a Stratocaster tremelo........:mrgreen:

I don't care what anyone says. . . this here is one funny thread.

I bet you could show him a thing or two in the gym as you're somewhat of an elevator, or was that bodybuilder? I can't remember.

Ain't a chicken in the yard with a feather left on it!

I guess everyone has an opinion but when I was there the food was pretty good !:smile:

My kids booby trap the house with legos. My wife booby traps our room by leaving the iron board and iron up, then she leaves the iron unplugged. I hate stepping on legos and plug-ins at night. This is even worse because we have a 13-month old so you can't even scream or yell, you just gotta do silent contortions and bunny hops on one foot. I wish I could think of some clever way to get the wife and kids back without it looking like it's on purpose so she don't cut me off from buying gear... :) While I am rambling on, does anybody else's kids have those particular noise maker toys that randomly come on by themselves? They're so creepy...

:grin:


The truly scary thing about this thread is, although it is trying hard to be totally unlike the other threads, it is distressingly true to them.

:oops:

Just to prove it I am quoting something that quotes a quote against the spirit I think. So the OP loses the thread. Therefore if someone can lose then someone else has to win.

I misunderstand people regularly probably due to lack of concentration and threads go off in a weird direction. This is the first ever thread I have fully understood and can comply with the rules.

Oh, what the hell...

I started the gambit with a dead straight response.

Nobody picked up on it. The only way the get a truly atypical batch of replies was to respond like it was life and death.

But nobody did.

Sorry, thought this was the cellphone driver thread... :razz:

I think we should just agree to disagree.

Totally disregarding the OP's request and the spirit of this thread, I have carefully read every single post...all eight pages of them. Furthermore, I have taken the time to carefully consider my own response before posting in order to ensure that I am in complete non-compliance. Damn it feels good to be a rebel.

I wanted fish, but John wanted chicken, so we had chicken. I was a little pissed that it had to be his way yet again, but not surprised. I could have pushed, and gotten fish, but it wasn't really worth it. He's such a sensitive little puke. I know he wasn't hugged enough as a child, and that all the other boys in the neighborhood used him as a punching bag to punish him for the fact that his mother used him as a mannequin to sew dresses to sell at the church bazaar. Seriously though, all that was like, 30 years ago. Is it really healthy for him to still be so upset about it? Would it kill the sunofabitch to eat some seafood now and then? Christ almighty. I mean, if he'd just... Whoa... That was the biggest rat I've ever seen...

Rectum?

Now, where's that grizzly bear I'm supposed to kiss?

Can't lie; I saw rectum as I was passing by this thread on my gadget. Made me think Rectum Plectrum for some unknown reason. Might be a subliminal hint to invent a device for picking your a##.

That would be a good product name I think. What do you think? Is there a market for rectum plectrums? Would it be better to have a disposable model or a nice reusable type? Maybe a designer series, including faux tortoise? How about a thumb-pick style? Might be time for some market research.

Murky, Le Petomaine might be interested in that.

The prices of baking ingredients this year are outrageous. Pecans are very expensive.
But I have a tip - spices from ethnic grocery stores are relatively cheap. Cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, etc. can be found in the Indian specialty stores for lots less than the general glass-bottle supermarket brands. Marshalls and TJ Maxx have a random variety of spices around the holidays for mostly 50% off regular prices.

I believe that answers your question.

Ok OK I got to get this out. Yes, yes I lusted deep in my heart for Marlo Thomas as Ann Marie in "That Girl". Yes, I know I was only 7 at that time but does that make it wrong?

Nash Rambler is always the right answer.

What are the rules here... cause I am so dense, is it allowed that I read any of the posts? the title "Please comment on this thread without reading any of it!" This clearly states that I should not read any of it, that, in its entirety, is equal to this simple fact... no one is reading this thread or this post for that matter, so I can talk about all the stuff that is not allowed here at the TDPRI - but of course... we all are human aren't we???... ha ha ha ha :mrgreen:
