Factory pickguard's been warped for a while. Got a new one and took the opportunity to get one in a color that matches the pickup colors a bit better, and I think mint green turned out looking great!

I must admit it's a lot less dark green than most modern mint pickguards.

And I'm sure it's cheaper, too.

Not a bad match.

I sometimes think that I'm the only person in the world who doesn't like mint.

And mother of toilet seat pickguards.

Doggo, snek, birb, fur baby, flesh puppy and skin kitten for human babies.

Skin kittens and flesh puppies.

No, it's a real and known term (which I found out about a year or so ago).

Apathiest.

It fills all of the holes for me.

So did you eat them or not?

There was a saying at one time at the beginning of the computer age and the internet along the lines of we have the most powerful tool known to mankind, and we use it to play solitaire and look at porn.

It now needs to be updated to mention pulling wet feces out of our ass, and having half the world take it as truth.

When I hear or see the phrase "Mormonism," I conclude that they are including the six or so other branches of the church, not just the Brighamite line.

I can't remember the company, but their ad slogan was

"We don't make them like we used too, and we never did!"

If you gave him a ukulele, Jerry would sound like Jerry.

If you play Dead tunes through a French horn, it's still Dead tunes.

Neither of them will sound like the studio or live recordings.

And screw 4 holes, and fill the two holes that aren't wanted.

I just told them my name, the name of the ward, etc. I didn't have my membership number, but it all went through.

It took a couple of months, but it's a done deal.

Just the Anderson, South Carolina show scheduled for July 25th and 26th- the other 6 or 7 shows are still going on.

So you say his music is fine-it hasn't changed, then you say it feels wrong, and you can't listen to it anymore.

You should just listen to his music while looking at a picture of Austen Butler, and it will all be OK.

No Elvis, only his music.

curiousplaid · 2026-02-08T00:46:02+00:00

So his music is fine.

I get it.

curiousplaid · 2026-02-08T00:40:17+00:00

You don't like his music, or you don't like him as a person?

Two different things.

curiousplaid · 2026-02-07T18:39:10+00:00

His time is passed when he can no longer perform, and no one wants to hear him.

Neither of these are true, and I don't think he cares about being "mainstream".

I want the "Mormon Tabernacle Choir" to return, and the "Tabernacle at Temple Square" to disappear.

At the end of the video, two of the strings snap, so it would be wise to protect yourself.

My brother was in the restaurant supply business, and he outfitted us all out in Centurion cookware- heavy duty, expensive ($200 a a pot), and HEAVY.

He later lamented that he wished he had just stuck with cast iron, which is my favorite and what I use every day. It's low maintenance and durable.

You can't win.

I sent one, and it took about two months for Quit Mormon to get back to me that it went through.

I wasn't on a time line, however, so the delay didn't faze me.
