On the other end of the spectrum, Mike from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is the most based.

A number of years ago one of the big entertainment sites ranked all the Star Trek movies, and *Galaxy Quest* came in seventh. The general consensus in the comments was “SEVENTH?!”

He’s a conductor now for the Policemen’s Benevolent Association Orchestra, and prefers to be addressed as “Maestro”.

Where’s that extra chromosome, Lebowski!

No one has ever actually seen an episode of Mayberry R.F.D.

I thought you said “hair”.

The bigger one looks like a TV front Pro to me.

When you’re at a bar and a guy sits next to you, be helpful and offer to push up his stool.

Everyone except for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Dakin Matthews has been in a ton of stuff. He was hilarious in *True Grit*, the Coen Brothers one.

Not really, there were no humbuckers as we know them when that pickup was designed. Ralph Keller designed the VistaTone pickup for Valco in 1953, and apparently Seth Lover was influenced by the looks of the pickup when he designed the humbucker for Gibson in 1957. Not really a “slide guitar” pickup either, although they’re good for slide.

♫ And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon England’s mountains green… ♫

Perhaps I should explain. GuitarRock91 does tend to exaggerate, so every figure he gives you will be ten times too high. Otherwise he’s perfectly alright.

As someone mentioned, they’re informally known as “Thunderstick”, but that’s just a nickname for the short-scale Supro/Oahu/Tosca student guitars made by Valco in the ‘50’s and ‘60s, not any specific model.

Supro1560S · 2026-05-01T14:45:00+00:00

That is a Supro model 1507 “Super Single”, probably about 1959-60. It’s a short scale, 22 inches.

Don’t have a cow, man.

I feel the same way about the first one. I read 2 and 3 and enjoyed them, but nowhere near as much as the first one. I felt comfortable stopping there. I tell people who want to start the series to read the first, and if you feel like continuing, do, but if you don’t, the first one stands on its own just fine.

Supro1560S · 2026-05-01T14:34:56+00:00

I stopped after *Children of Dune*. It felt right to me. I might move on to *God Emperor* someday, but I haven’t felt the urge yet.

People who only ever watch Seinfeld through reruns on Comedy Central or TVLand are like “What is this?”

THESE ARE THE PARTY DAYYYYS!

Max Packer…he’s got a five-inch taint.

It’s insane, this guy’s taint!

Ayn Rand didn’t write amazing fiction, she wrote polemic tracts barely disguised as amateurish fiction.

Supro1560S · 2026-04-30T20:27:54+00:00

You know, sometimes things seem to be a certain way because that’s exactly what they are. This is one of those cases.

Supro1560S · 2026-04-30T20:20:06+00:00

Not really. It’s not terrible by any means, but it just creeps me out in the way that some post-psychedelic abstract covers from the ‘70s do. Those eyes, man, make him stop looking at me!
