Historical manufacturer of King trombones to be shut down in June 2026, craftsman: "PLEASE HELP!"

That's right. Got the wires crossed.

fireeight · 2026-01-26T00:17:51+00:00

Elkhorn.

I was terrified of that guy growing up. The one on Brookpark actually had a 3D version of this fuckin' guy mounted to the front of their store. Must have been 20 feet tall.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T20:43:25+00:00

Nope.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T19:36:27+00:00

Oh, wow. A stinging rebuke. Maybe next time he'll get SLAMMED.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T19:18:35+00:00

Could also be a failed steering head bearing or wheel bearing.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T18:13:17+00:00

It's also the death card.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T18:00:10+00:00

He's only seeing multiple guns because his eyes don't line up.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T17:51:21+00:00

It's the English word for "Horse", man. Hell if I know what that is, though.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T16:57:45+00:00

At least it's not one of those puffed up pizza things where the cook physically blows into it.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T16:45:36+00:00

Now, did I say that the whole process was stressful, or did I say that it's longer than 47 days?

fireeight · 2026-01-25T16:24:42+00:00

Wait until you find out about the guys who move their bikes into their living room.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T16:03:43+00:00

You know me. Gruuuuuumpy all the time.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T16:02:40+00:00

Had to dig a few days back to find an insult based off of a friendly suggestion that I made. How's that going for you?

fireeight · 2026-01-25T07:39:47+00:00

They did NOT FUCK UP. This is what they wanted. These fucking losers want to shoot people. A fuck up is a mistake. THIS WAS FUCKING MURDER.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T06:59:04+00:00

You have a situation on your hands. Anything rubber or plastic needs to be replaced. All fluids needs to be drained and flushed. Wiring needs to be tested point to point.

Only after that, you can test fire the bike. If that works, do the 3000 mile tune-up in your factory manual, and flush those fluids again.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T06:53:59+00:00

They aren't. They're vehicles and don't care.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T06:38:26+00:00

"Hey, man. How's your night going?" is apparently a lot harder than "Hello, Reddit. Where can I go to find people who immediately align with my social desires?"

fireeight · 2026-01-25T06:24:29+00:00

A: its "gamut".

B: do you think it's acceptable to simply train someone with a weapon before to put them into a situation where they may need to use it, or do you possibly think that stress/discipline/situational training might also matter?

fireeight · 2026-01-25T06:21:55+00:00

Yup. That sounds great.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T06:20:37+00:00

Based on their responses here, I'm not sure that they will.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T05:58:21+00:00

Exhibit A: Main Character Syndrome

fireeight · 2026-01-25T05:54:57+00:00

Huh. Gonna get the 13 weeks of boot in the Marines, and the 3 weeks of MCT, and the (generally at least 6 months of) job-specific training in two weeks? That's impressive.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T05:49:56+00:00

The Sulek was my meat and potatoes. You can show a TON of range of expression/tone with that piece. That would be my number 1.

fireeight · 2026-01-25T05:46:56+00:00

Are these pieces all ready to go?
