- Decry 'no content, merely humorous' posts and note that other fora are satire, parody, (intentional) irony, and sexually transmitted disease-free.

- Lutz spruce naming conventions (e.g., "Is Wookie Dandruff Golden Shower Unicorn Droppings lutz super good, because I heard it was. And no - I am not a compensated shill").

- Best book for beginning builder. Always fun. Note that you think fuzzy B&W photos are way better than full color with supporting diagrams.

- Comment on attending Passive/Aggressive Luthiery Exhibit....complain bitterly about not being invited to exhibit...delete post after first page of comments.

See? Totally salvageable.


Todd, you forgot moon wood, tonewood for electrics and the 24th fret being right in the "sweet spot"

ok i think i finally have a solution for this: a pickup with a "rail" style polepiece, so the pickup can a)be placed directly under the 24th fret sweet spot and b)the rail is an actual fret that can be fretted and wanked upon. patent already pending, so forget about it guys

Yeah, well I'm gonna make a whole fretboard pickup so it'll be in the perfect spot to get every note at its ultimate sweetest all the time, and it's gonna be capped with petrified, fungally infused spruce from middle Europe, harvested during a harmonic convergence at the height of the renaissance in the 17th century. It will be the most amazing instrument ever made, able to make even the biggest neophyte play instantly like Roy Buchanan

Don't tell him he might become the glue that holds the best guitars together.

I guess a happy goat is better than the cranky, old, whining goats we have to suffer through upon occasion.

Don't eat paste.

I maybe off topic here, But, the goat's digestive system is similar to that of other ruminants, such as cattle and sheep, who are "grazers" and eat grass, goats are more related to deer, who are "browsers". Didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea! laughing6-hehe Clinton

I've felt for the longest time my posts have been missing something. I've thought long and hard about this but to no avail. Then I noticed some great posts by others. A light came on!
If I truly wanted to post with the best of them I would have to include a verse at the end.

Something like
“RAREBIT, n. A Welsh rabbit, in the speech of the humorless, who point out that it is not a rabbit. To whom it may be solemnly explained that the comestible known as toad-in-a-hole is really not a toad, and that _riz-de-veau a la financiere_ is not the smile of a calf prepared after the recipe of a she banker.”

or maybe
“Happy goat is always good. And he eats paste”

Then it came to me.
"Fat and skinny got in a race
Up and down the pillow case
Fat fell down and broke his face
And Skinny won the race"

My username is finally relevant to a discussion, and I have nothing to say.

I think you are right John. Knowing Stuart I'm sure he was selected to carry on into the new age. Way to go [clap] [clap] [clap]

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

It wasn't natural selection. I recognize the work of a criminal mastermind when I see it. It was:

Don't worry. In this case, because of your username, which makes me laugh every time I see it, just showing up was good enough.
I wish this was your avatar:
