Title: Schizophrenia
Post by: precarius on July 01, 2007, 04:06:05 PM
In a shameless attempt to get to 200 posts, I will now ask and answer some very important questions. It's a relaxing Sunday, so please ignore me.

Why does Alembic sell Flitz metal polish for more than Flitz does?
Title: Schizophrenia
Post by: precarius on July 01, 2007, 04:26:35 PM
Because they are trying to make a living, stupid!

That was funny! You covered all the common posts.  But you could have mentioned something about lemon oil.

Is lemon oil a good foot rub?

Do I have to use lemon oil or can I just use unicorn urine like on my other booteek basses?

Post by: bracheen on July 02, 2007, 06:20:59 AM
That's a good start Mike.  Now you can shoot for Senior Member.  Maybe you could do your next 600 posts touting the virtues of your favorite strings.

I was hoping to get 200 in before my 50th birthday but alas no..what number am I at, upper 100th I think.
writing posts is like a hard bass solo, the first few bars look easy but as it progresses it get harder to fulfill.

Post by: lbpesq on July 02, 2007, 08:51:22 AM
You also forget beer ... How about getting two birds with one stone:  After I oil my neck, can I put some of the lemon oil in my Tecate?
 
Bill, tgo

Can anybody jump on the 200 post bandwagon?
Title: Schizophrenia
Post by: dtrice on September 04, 2007, 10:10:29 AM
I'd jump on if it ain't moving too fast.
Title: Schizophrenia

Title: Schizophrenia
Post by: dtrice on September 04, 2007, 10:13:48 AM
But, they would be so very wrong.
Title: Schizophrenia
Post by: 811952 on September 04, 2007, 07:02:45 PM
Don't forget to ask about motorcycles, and what kind of oil is best for those...
Title: Schizophrenia
Post by: bsee on September 04, 2007, 07:25:17 PM
lemon oil, of course!!!
Title: Schizophrenia
Post by: bracheen on September 05, 2007, 06:10:55 AM
This still isn't an official thread until beer is mentioned, Root or otherwise.

Q: I love my Spoiler so much, and I would like to have a second Alembic, but I can only spend 100 bucks or so. Can anybody help ?
 
A: A gallon of (insert your favourite headache brand here) beer should do the trick, at least until tomorrow...

Less than 10 to go - should I go ahead and do it this way?

Nah, I'll wait for it to happen organically - it's not like I'm not going to post anyway.
