Sorry, Ian, that's not The Faces. May be fun, entertaining and/or profitable, but it's not The Faces.

Maybe so but it looks original to me. In the later years I think it was plain.

That, and he's probably been dead for years.

His politically active granddaughter, btw, is a nut case/fake blond bimbo airhead.
Then maybe this was her brain.

The Outpost Cafe / Great reviews of laptop accessory
« on: November 22, 2009, 05:38:35 PM »
Every once in a while you come across a product so bad that people start writing funny reviews about it.
Here's one: Laptop Steering Wheel Desk
Just read the reviews.
Some of the comments on the reviews are great too.

I wonder if funeral directors will see this as a new revenue source.
It might be disconcerting to the bereaved if you tell them dear old Aunt Agatha's body fat might come back as an enriched shampoo.

Looks in remarkably good shape for older unfinished parts. A couple of rough edges, nothing you can't easily take care of.

This guy has been around for years, and yet his idea hasn't caught on. It's a solution to something that's really not a problem. Most players don't think of themselves as having to adapt to the bass.
Xavier Padilla, LOL (he's quoted under "what they're saying"). He used to post once every few months on the old TBL mailing list. And every post was always the same, he would declare his Little to be the ultimate bass neck solution.

Gibson Basses / Re: Need a lamp?
« on: November 21, 2009, 09:59:31 AM »
When I checked YouTube a couple of years ago, there was almost nothing of his posted. Now there's a lot, including all of the Phantom and fourth of July (in multiple parts), some of Jean Shepherd's America and a number of other humor bits.

Gibson Basses / Re: Need a lamp?
« on: November 20, 2009, 10:25:48 PM »Dave, are you a fan of Shep's work? I grew up on his radio show and books.
I knew who he was, but I never read any anything by him until after seeing his PBS nonfiction series called Jean Shepherd's America about 1970-71 (there was a second series in the mid 80s).
I loved Phantom of the Open Hearth (which was mid-70s) plus two later PBS comedies based on his stories, The Star-Crossed Romance of Josephine Cosnowski (sp?) and The Great American Fourth of July. Some great scenes in those but Phantom was my favorite.
