I had an ‘81 LP Custom I bought for $500 and sold a year later, also about 30 years ago. I wish I could reach back and smack young Turbineguy in the head for that one.. 

call me when it shows an emergency flight from mar a lago to moscow.  some sort of asylum trip.

sounds like a great childhood

Oh, and if you ever have to pick a roommate by profession, epi is where to be. They clean everything! I mean sure, you go through gallons of soap per month, but everything is both organized an sanitary. Never a dirty dish anywhere. And the tend to drive Mazdas for some reason.

Well, shit. If it’s good enough for an internet stranger’s epidemiologist’s former roommate, it’s good enough for me!

In contrast (I think) Gibson seems to be much more defensive of trade dress when it comes to the LP body shape or even the open book headstock design. They’re like the Ferrari of guitar makers, only not quite so assholish. 

Thanks. I often see statistics about deaths per mile traveled and I’m like “that’s not helping if everyone is driving more”.

They didn’t play this particular model and Prince didn’t play a Tele at all

According to Cucker Carlson, since Putin hasn’t personally offended him, why should he hate Putin?

I’d bet that the shirt is worn there without a hint of irony and reflects a generation (or more; its roots might be traced as far back as the “Southern Strategy”) of engineered divisiveness as a pathway to political success. The people depicted are old enough to have grown up in an America where even a hint of lining…

Side note- Is your ‘59 a top-loader?

There are parts of Costa Rica, parts of Panama, and Parts of Mexico where the number of ex-pat US residents outnumber the locals, or are at least close to doing so. Should those areas just be able to decide that they are actually part of the US?

Right. I used to volunteer on a old WW2 aircraft carrier and worked on restoring interior spaces. One of the old guys I worked with was a decent person but always had a little radio in his pocket playing whatever right wing AM show was on. I could usually just tune it out and ignore it. But it also gave me an insight…

Almost everyone in Norway speaks near-perfect English.

I never held that high of a regard for the intelligence of the average American. I grossly underestimated that come 2016. 40% of this country is filled with really, really dumb and ignorant people.

Don’t forget surrendering to the Taliban

Don’t forget him kissing North Korea’s ass.

what about calling it the FreeDumb convoy?
