The Show Your Work Thread

[cadaverdog]

So do you live in one of those caravan parks where your whole house is a skinny metal apparatus on wheels? And the outhouse is literally the outhouse. Used by at least 1400 people every day.

Nope. I've already started a thread explaining my sleeping arrangements. We have porta potties here but outhouses are fairly hard to find nowdays in the US. Someday you'll have indoor plumbing and you'll get rid of yours.

I remember as a kid in the 70's there was still a dunny man in these distant areas.. Imagine that for a shit job. And the boiler needed to be stoked if you wanted anything resembling hot water in the next day or two..

[Seshmeister]

Dismal how? It's common knowledge you Scots don't go to work till sometime Tuesday afternoon.

It's been raining here for about 3 weeks.

It's true I do usually take Monday mornings off to ease more gently into the week...

When I was a kid in the 60's in Oklahoma we had relatives that lived in the sticks that still had outhouses. They used corn cobs to wipe too. I lived on a ranch with indoor plumbing at the time. I'm assuming the dunny man is what you call the shit sucker. If you don't live where they have sewers you have to use a cesspool and it has to be pumped every few years. When it does you call a shit sucker to pump it out. If they get too full they overflow or your plumbing backs up. If you catch a whiff when a shit sucker's sucking shit you'll probably blow chunks. Some people live near the shit ponds where they take the shit and it smells almost as bad.

The dunny man came around twice a week, replaced your full cans with fresh new empty ones. None of this below ground tank storage rubbish.

Let's get absolutely real here - who invited you (or Sesh, or Elbow, Von, Angel, or anyone else talking shit in this thread) to NAMM this week again, Socky? Riiight. Who's footing your hotel bill to come visit them based on what, your couch dwelling - the week after? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Talk shit all you want, once any of you can match my work ethic - until then, STFU.

I'm not a musician...why the fuck would I be invited? You're no different than anyone else attending a conference that pertains to their chosen profession. Yours just happens to be of interest to those outside of the profession.

You're doing what few get the opportunity to...follow their dream. You think because of that you are somehow better than others. Well, you're not.

Who the hell are you to question anyone's wotk ethic...or think perhaps yours is somehow better? I work full-time, go to school full time, and work with adults with complex physical disabilities...addressing barriers to their inclusion in everyday society...and I manage to do all that without resorting to belittling others, especially those less fortunate than I.

You come off as though you think your shit don't stink. Well, I've smelled it, and it reeks!

How do you stay sane? 2 weeks of that shit when I went home last Xmas and I was ready to murder somebody...anybody!

Note if you review what happened, DJ complimented my last post, questioned the guitars used, to which I responded. Then douchebag talked smack to DJ, because he can't resist the urge to be a dick. Which I pointed out. Then Lounge agreed. Conspiracy! Then you have Angel and Sockfucker coming out of the woodwork, also unable to resist the urge to be douchey.

You wanna assign blame? It falls squarely on those three.


And 100+ plays of "Clique Mob" in 6 weeks says fuck Von's opinion of it.

Damn. Can't even have a little fun around here anymore, without it getting all serious, and everyone getting their feelings hurt.

I guess when I make a semi-sarcastic comment, I should explain myself.

My intention was not to bash JHale's playing. I don't like the production. I know JHale hates the drum machines, and so do I. To me, that recording doesn't sound anything like a band, and I know it's not.

I can't play the guitar as good as the worst guitar player (Elvis :D) on this site. I'm still on the first page of Roy Clark's Learn How To Play Guitar book, that I started 40 years ago!

[Angel]

Oh, I'm sure I beat Elvis as the worst guitarist around here.

I talked to my mail man on Saturday.

Oh my God!!! Can I kiss your feet???

[DONNIEP]

Oh my God!!! Can I kiss your feet???

Only if I can give you a reach around.

[Von Halen]

If ELVIS wants to call me a smug cunt then he has exactly as much say in doing that as I do in calling him that back.

Actually, I believe Elvis called you Smugmeister, which I think is nothing short of genius!

It's important that people talk shit to Von - in fact he likes it.

I wouldn't have it any other way Sesh!

[Angel]

Only if I can give you a reach around.

Where's the strap-on?

What I do is find someone on the internet who lives in a nicer climate and then start an argument with them...
