  1. Years ago I had knee surgery in California and a friend bought me a sword / cane to use. It wasn't very sturdy but it was cool. I was showing it off at a party at a friends house and a lot of the attendees were police officers. That's when I found out that possession of a sword cane was a felony. I didn't get arrested as it was conveyed to me as "friendly advice" but I got rid of that thing pretty quickly after that. I am pretty sure they are still illegal in CA.

     

    Isn't everything...? :(

  2. If a movie was made about the true Ca. politics and the crooks & scum in Sac. <_<

    No one would believe it. :(

    OLG

     

    What Lumpy sez. Pretty much what I've heard from a few legislators I've spoken with over the years... :huh:

     

     

     

    For those Californians looking to secede: Bless your hearts! :lol:

     

    Ha ha ha....! :D

  3. I always hated "call waiting." Annoying as heck to be talking to someone and have the phone 'beep' in my ear... I figgered if I'm talking to someone and somebody else wants to talk to me they can wait their turn ~ and the 'busy signal' let's 'em know I'm there. AND busy! ;)

  4. I think that's pretty cool. That rifle the one man is carrying in the 2nd photo down has one heckuva long barrel.

     

    Picture's not that clear on my laptop, but it looks like a flintlock... and yeah it's long!

     

    By the way ~ rough way to carry an animal. Couple of buddies and I tried it once as teenagers just to see how it worked - after all, that's how they did it in the movies! Uh... works best in the movies.

  5. A somewhat younger friend interviewed BB back in his college days... he told me that he asked BB if you had to be black to understand and feel blues.

     

    BB responded with "No, son... it's what's in your heart no matter who you are."

     

  6. Very cool, TS...! I could be jealous! :)

     

    Allie, I love it! ^_^

     

    Believe it or not, I was (re)introduced to blues by Sassparilla Kid... he discovered the genre when he was about 12, and took to it hard. He was REALLY upset when BB King came to town and he couldn't see him 'cuz the show was in a local casino. BB came back and performed at another venue when the Kid was 18 ~ I gave him a pair of the best tickets I could get.

     

    At about age 14 the Kid had done so much research that he could pretty much identify any piece he heard and tell you the singer/player's history... he was totally immersed. Later branched out into jazz and bluegrass, but blues is still his passion.

     

    Here he is back during high school... trying out a $17,000 replica of SRV's "Lenny."

     

    And no, I didn't buy it for him. But I did give him another Strat, and he later built one.
