I pulled a groin trying to get you off of those Portugese sailors, you drunken hussy! And we had to sue. There was no other way to get a "Cease and Desist" after you bought season tickets!

looks like you're going to be the poor bastard that's going to be getting up and changing channels then

I'm a jazzman by trade, so I get where you are coming from, but that is actually an old saying among musicians

yell at your kids to change the channel

Here at Nateland, your family's safety and security are our #1 goal. We have to say that because if we didn't, we could have our ass sued off for all the accidents our visitors get themselves into through their own drunken recklessness, which is no fault of Nateland or any of its subsidiaries. In keeping with that, we have installed a new State of the Art security system at our park and campground this season. Already, it is paying dividends as we have contacted local police about a late night trespasser, wearing a short haired, tight fitting fur sweater that was picked up on our security footage just last week There had been reports of raspberry bushes being decimated and with little or no clues to work from, we contacted an outside security expert. Dwayne was an easy choice as he is outstanding in his field. So I hollered across the fence and asked him to come on out of his field and take a gander at the situation over here at Nateland Here is the mug shot we sent to the police As you can see, he was trying to sneak into the park after hours. You can tell he is an expert burglar from how he nearly eluded our security camera So this season when you are thinking of what to do for family vacation, don't throw your money away on an over priced amusement park! Throw your money away right here at Nateland, Home of the USA!

I found the memory card with the finished model last night. I worked on it over the course of 2 winters, so the first bunch of pics must have been where I left it, and these are from the next winter when I finished it I knew Kzoo was dying to see them

I just play gigs. I don't play anything on You Tube. I don't have any real web presence at all as far as I know. but You Tube is great. Pretty much any piece for guitar that I can find a score for, there's at least a couple videos of people playing it. Same for bluegrass, Irish music, anything you want to hear. And people have some decent video lessons up, too. None of that was around when I was learning to play. I remember standing in the rain in an alley behind a club to hear Hank Crawford when he came to Houston. We were underage and there was a dress code, so we had to listen through the wall in the alley. and nevermind back when we were teenagers having to scour the city looking for good records. At least in Houston (and there in L.A. too) there are good used record stores or I would have never known who Jimmy Cliff even was

I know that tune! your guitar sound is doing pretty good. I'm not knocking your singing at all, but have you ever taken these pop tunes and dropped the melody down into your natural voice range? I think you would have a powerful voice, and it would sound good, plus it would get you out of the very top reaches of your voice where you are straining. It would fit your guitar sound well, too. just a thought, brother, I like what you do, so do what you do, but maybe its just something you can fool around with a little and see if it works. a lot of these rock singers were actually little guys, natural tenors really, and so when a big cat who is a natural baritone has to sing a tenor part, you can do it, but you really have to strain but if you move the melody down into your natural range, you can belt it out belt it out while you are blasting away on the guitar, too ....just a thought

I have to hear some notes, Wilbur my memory banks are all in music, I only remember the words after I hear the tune

I went up to Harrisburg to rehearse for the concert this weekend out at Shippensburg, and I just got home. Chris and I are going to have a lot of fun Sunday. We've performed these pieces before (the William Grant Still spirituals), but tonight was one of those sessions where you work the details. While these accompaniment figures are based on Gospel piano style, Chris is asking me to play one of these tunes more "strait" and with no swing at all. It really is a good idea, it sounded great when we did it. We're doing something a little different in "Listen To Da Lamb", so I have some work to do this week to get the changes into my hands. When you prepare something for performance, you don't practice until you get it right, you practice until you can't get it wrong. so I'm pretty stoked, and once I stop bouncing off the walls, its time to get to work

what they are suing over is whether Bruyneel and Lance misrepresented their clean rider claims when the USPS was re-upping their sponsorship contract I agree with RG...Lance is going to lose that one but the $100 million figure is going to get beat down on appeal. I saw an article yesterday that speculated that Lance might have to pay $25 million on this, though

Our man Floyd Landis (he's from around here, you know) is one of the people who first brought the suit. If I remember, Floyd asked Lance what he should do when they busted him, and Lance told him to fight it and never admit to anything. So I could see where Floyd would want to get some money out of Lance since that whole business ended his cycling career but this has been in the courts for years. It isn't like after all these years somebody is just dredging this up now

can't say enough how classic an RG post this really is

why isn't she wearing any pants? did she already jump in the tour bus with Keith?

what do we want? when do we want it?

But to be fair, you never can tell what these feminist protesters want maybe she's looking for a little action

not for nothing, but the Navy taught us that it is 2 hour cycles. We had to stand watch during the night and then still do our jobs, so you learned that if you had the choice of sleeping 4 hours or 5, sleep 4. when you awake in the middle of cycle, it fucks you up all day. but I'm no sleep doctor but 2 hour cycles is what it seems like to me I think wheel's might actually be in trouble I'm probably wrong, though, so don't worry too much

the Feast of St Valentine is a martyr's feast the Church removed him from the general calendar, so he doesn't have an official feast day, but he is still listed with the Martyrs on February 14th, the date he was killed for converting people to Christianity he lived in the 3rd century before the Edict of Milan, so being Christian was still punishable by death in the Roman Empire

You think I got all my likes pulling my own branches?

so if the dam is about to blow, would he be evacuated right now?

that was the nice thing about doing metrology for the Navy, I was always at sea level and for calibration we had to be 72F +/- 10F

Teddy's right about that. if you want to compare the density to water in a go/no-go sort of way, that's the test you'll also know whether or not your potting soil is a witch
