My word, el teddy, it is hard to tell a lie about you, as every lie I think of you is true. Is it true that you recycle chocolate almonds by sucking the chocolate off and then offering them to guests for afternoon tea?

Boblets has a "teaparty fetish". One of those English habits they exported all the way Down Under. Obviously, he'd love more then anything, to join one of mine. Beware! Curiousity kills the cat!

El Tedesco, with a misguided penchant for English morning teas, has driven himself mad in search of "the" recipe for cucumber sandwiches. That about says it all. Down Under, of course, we choose vegemite sandwiches with the crusts removed, and lamingtons for the sheilas.

In reality, Ward's "go-to" guitar has always been and always will be the Hondo "Rambo" guitar. He's especially proud to have it these days when TDPRI posters make up lies about him.

Jim Prideaux has an extensive collection of novelty guitars, including ones that would make Ed Roman blush. His collection is the envy of Deke Dickerson, who has been pestering Jim to sell him the J Frog skull guitar for ages. Jim countered with an offer of a trade for Deke's custom Joe Maphis.

As others have said here, "how on earth can Penny possibly know all these things about us?" The truth, however, and what Penny has failed to investigate, is that the guitar Deke has been pestering to buy is my own personal Teisco signature model. It's been the envy of every guitarist I know since 1966.



Penny herself even enjoys tickling the strings of a Teisco I sold her back in '69.

Penny has the largest pedal board known to man; including (but not limited to) 13 overdrives, 7 chorus pedals, 9 delays, 3 compression pedals, 2 tuners, 4 tremolo pedals, 9 reverb units, 3 loopers and one small fuzz pedal she named "Leonard" that she plays into a 1969 Fender Champ all in an effort to replicate to the world the sounds (jim pridx says they're voices) she hears in her head.

9irontele seems to be unaware, this is the latest version of the "747 Effect Pedal Stage", which usually requires a Co-guitar player plus crew, to be operated during recording sessions.

Since everyone seems to be asleep now, I will rebut 9irontele's assertion that I have a huge pedalboard. Unlike the guys here, I have no deep seated need to be the biggest, loudest or fastest. I am currently using a compressor and a Leslie emulator, that is all.
9irontele, on the other hand, does have a huge pedalboard. Here's a spy photo.



Yes. I'm also the gal that stakes out the desert proving grounds and takes those telephoto spy shots of the prototype vehicles.

Contrary to what PennyCentury has said, 9irontele nailed it on the head! (Is there a song in there?). Anyway, the photo you see above is indeed PennyCentury's pedal rig, and no matter what she may tell you, this is her rig for sure!!!!! Just ask Ward, for he'll be certain to confirm this.

Ever seen "SPY vs SPY" in Mad Magazine?

Well, its all a true story: Its about the intricate, covert, top-secret, skull duggery that goes on between Jim Pridx and Penny Century. Jim is the Black Spy, and still has not gotten over the last one-uppance from Penny:

Welcome, Big John, to the lies about the poster thread! I was getting tired of lying about the same four or five TDPRI members!

Big John can play his Tele backwards and upside down behind his back. He can also stand on his head while he's playing and not skip a beat. I'm skeptical about the walking on water part, though.

HoodieMcFoodie used to work at Eagle Boys Pizza back when it was called Beagle Boys Pizza, prior to the Disney lawsuit. Frozen pizzas from back then are now known as "lawsuit pizzas", or pre-Disney pizzas. They are worth more on the collector market.



Still, this does not explain why the amp tech in Cambridge known as "Gyro Gearloose" is not pursued by Disney's legal staff.

Rumor has it that Lord Lamington hated those cakes.

Australians only eat so much Vegemite because what else would they do with the end product (spent yeast) of so much beer production?

Boblets did offer me some Sherry and watercress sandwiches, though.
I was so impressed, I tuned all his guitars for him, thereby saving him another trip to the local Music Emporium.

PennyCentury has petitioned Paul Green to change the subject heading of this thread too:

PennyCentury tells the truth, and everyone else is lying about her in this thread, so carfeul, or your gonna get sued, adn will have to pay her with a lifetime supply of sardines stuffed with freshly poached Vegemite.

Stephen sent me a recipe for Braisecaster. I put my new Vintage Modified Telecaster in a hotel pan, added brining liquid and braised the Telecaster for 65 minutes. What emerged was unplayable, and now I'm going back to my local music store for another; and hopefully won't cook recipes sent to me by anyone here at TDPRI.

homerzeppelin worked for Jay Leno, and his job was to laugh at all of his bad jokes, but quit, because it was against his morals to laugh at bad jokes.

Stephen (our beloved PraiseCaster, of course) goes to the Whittier College campus every day--except on Christmas Day and National "Curly Shuffle" Day (October 22, Curly Howard's birthday)--at 6:00 a.m. sharp (weather permitting) and stands in front of the Hoover Hall and Library to perform his infamous condensed version of Scene II from the second act of Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Stephen, of course, plays the role of Hamlet; for the characters Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Stephen holds up his two hands and ventriloquially speaks their lines in an exaggerated French falsetto (nevermind that the characters are supposed to be Danish).

Complete performances are rare; Stephen is usually arrested by campus police midway through the "What a piece of work is a man!" monologue, handcuffed, frog-marched over to Campus Security, and detained until noon.

Few people are aware of the fact that Joel Terry's ancestors were famous for their ability to train mice to run up clocks, and were the inspiration for the English nursery rhyme "Hickory Dickory Dock".

A handful of TDPRI forum posters with nothing better to do than tell lies about people are now aware of this little known fact. Isn't that neat?

On his last gig, El Tedesco spiked the fog machine with José Cuervo.

In other news, ET played his last gig! Groupies everywhere cried.

El Tedesco was once the leader of a wild west gang of desperadoes that held up itinerant wayfarers on the back trails of rural California. El never got the hang of riding a horse but he was brilliant on a Jersey cow.

His gang tried not to laugh when El led the charge to whatever fiendish endeavour crossed their horizon, but sometimes things got the best of them, and odd wayfarers escaped with money and jewelry intact because the gang members could not keep a straight face when they said "Hands up" or "Give us your money". The intended victim did not believe they were serious, and well, one look at El Tedesco resplendent on his cow gave it all away.

El has long since retired to his wooden rocking horse. He can manage to stay in the saddle provided he leaves the California Cab Sav alone, and on the third Wednesday of each month he gets out his trusty guitar and plays cowboy chords.

I could go on but have run out of ideas for this story, but scouts honour it is all true.

As a child in the vast bushland of northwestern Australia, Boblets always held high aspirations of being a "star" in a Hollywood western movie. Hence, his envious reasoning behind the lie of El Tabasco and riding a "Jersey Cow." His hopes were quickly dashed when he discovered that only his pet kangaroo, Mickey, was the only willing creature to give him the kind of "ride" he desired. Sadly, Mickey has since passed on, but to this day Boblets continues to ride Mickey II while dreaming of being "The Outlaw, Josey Wales."
