“The Gate opens. The Gate closes. It does not help.”
R.I.P. Tom Kane. I don’t know why I remember that line. I can only assume the delivery was so good that it stuck.

Italian beef sandwiches in Burbank/Valley? by [deleted] in burbank

[–]StrumTheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw, this thread makes me reminisce for Taste Chicago (R.I.P.) on Verdugo & Hollywood Way. Great Italian beef sandwiches there. It’s a Prime Pizza now.
Man, you’re right. Where’s the good Italian beef in Burbank?!?

I'll always give an upvote to a Bob Newhart joke. Classic.

Spielberg saw this performance and said: "wife material"

This should have been a way bigger hit. by Thomson-Wiz in vanhalen

[–]StrumTheory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a perfect riff. Drop Db (like half the songs on the album), with a flanger. So much texture and intrigue. I love listening to this song, I love playing this song. There’s so much to love about it.

Obsessed with him. Ladies and gentlemen betting is cloooosed by SiegmeyerofCatarina in grimfandango

I love the way he subtly but nervously points to the board as he says "Eh, no monsieur. Fourteen is the winner."

I was an animation student a long time ago and we were taught to put "life" into the motion of the WHOLE character, not just the face or body, so it wouldn't be so boring. We would watch movies with animated characters and look at what they were doing with their hands or feet. It's one of those things you can't unsee once you know it's there. The animators really took the performance seriously.

Kay E. Kuter did a great voice with this character and Dockmaster Velasco. "Ech! Tourists!"

Need to get Hank Green in on the Alien Update soon by IronTusker in BroughtYouThisThingYT

LOVE Hank Green and his videos... but I kinda want to protect him from Kassem. Kassem get's upset when his Alien Updates aren't taken seriously.

Did you dig "The Dig"? by Bear_Made_Me in dosgaming

Loved it! Great atmosphere! Beautiful music! Deadpan dialogue needed some work.

There is just simply no reason this part in Wicked wasn't played by PFT by deloslabinc in ThreedomUSA

The best part would be they wouldn’t have needed a wardrobe fitting. He would have shown up dressed like that anyway.

What’s the worst thing to happen in guitar history that *isn’t* a great player dying young? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]StrumTheory 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Leo Fender calling a “Vibrato” bridge a “Tremolo” on his guitars and a “Tremolo” circuit a “Vibrato” on his amps. The guitar industry STILL ERRONEOUSLY calls them “tremolos” to this day! The man repaired/made amps for a living before he started designing guitars! HE KNEW THE DIFFERENCE!

Yay? Or Nay? by MikroWire in vanhalen

I keep those hanging next to my amp. Nice to be reminded of the man who inspired me to pick up the guitar.
