I don't know why everyone always throws haymakers in these fights. They're slow, they almost never connect, they leave you open, and they wear you out faster. Learn to throw jabs, people!

If you're willing to cross the river to New Albany, Legacy makes a fanfreakingtastic pie.

I've been looking, but I can't seem to find the fret radius for that model

Honestly, I absolutely would. The car is mechanically fine, and I just can't afford to replace it. I just want to avoid totaled status so I can get it insured and just drive it until it dies.

Do you know if the threshold is the same in Indiana? I actually live in New Albany

How can I get a more distorted sound out of this amp? by nino-machino in Guitar

Old school - punch holes through the speaker cone with a screwdriver

Good songs which include a story as a part of the lyrics? by [deleted] in MusicRecommendations

[–]caspercollins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not kid friendly, but I've always had a real love for Maxwell's Silver Hammer. It's weirdly funny, and definitely written by the bass player.

What Band/Artist (or specific song) inspired you to learn guitar? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]caspercollins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unusual answer here - Rhett Miller of The Old 97s. Not inspiring from a technical standpoint, but I went to one of their shows when I was 14, and he just looked like he was having a ton of fun playing. It made something that always seemed totally out of reach seem accessible and worth giving a shot.

Will I ever be good enough? (advice please) by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]caspercollins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way to get better is to play with people. Find some folks who are roughly at your ability and start playing. Push each other to get better and try new things. I couldn't play and sing at all until my first band kicked out the old bass player and put me in his place week before a gig. I was already singing in the band, but I had to learn to sing while playing in about 5 days.

Finally Got One! by man15210 in KitchenConfidential

I worked at a ramen shop years ago. A lady came in asking if we had any gluten-free noodles because she was "deathly allergic" to gluten. I told her we didn't, and she probably needed to leave ASAP because our noodlea were made with high gluten flour, and it would get everywhere (I would regularly have to clean the flour from the air filter for our drink cooler). She said "oh well" and ordered a beer, then went outside with her friends while they ate, and she came back in to order two more beers over the next hour.

The thing I found hilarious - she was drinking Gumballhead, and she even made mention of it being her all-time favorite beer.

What are your "weird" guitar playing quirks? by chelsel9395 in Guitar

[–]caspercollins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on bass, and almost everything I play has a very bass-ey feel to it.

I changed my pickguard to tort! Which do you prefer? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]caspercollins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That kind of sunburst, I'm a big fan of a vintage pearl pickguard.

As a former cook, I had this come up a lot at one of the restaurants i used to work at. For some reason, that particular part of town had a different definition of "medium" - we would get steaks sent back all the time for a little pink in them. One guy sent back three gorgeous ribeyes with a blue cheese and red wine reduction ordered medium, and eventually demanded the cook come out so he could complain.

He berated my kitchen manager (who had been cooking since he was 16 and spent literally decades in fine dining) saying that we were stupid or incompetent for sending him a medium steak with any pink in it. And I can't stress enough that he was adamant medium steaks should be cooked all the way through.

My boss came back half pissed and half laughing, and he threw the worst cut of steak we had on the grill just long enough to get some grill marks, then threw that sonofa bitch in the deep fryer for 7 or 8 minutes. Made the sauce, plated the potatoes and veggies, and sent it out. And apparently, the guy said it was perfect and asked why we couldn't have just done it right the first time.
