The General Musings Of The General

[Camazotz Automat]

I always enjoy his posts, whether they are about guitar repair or about the tactical takeover of a near surface DC* via a cave in Atkins, Arkansas not far from the pickle plant.

At times, the notes (heh) to setting up a guitar read oddly similar to methods of destabilizing a Detrimental Robot; while the cure for a buzzing nut is reminiscent of a dinner with Don Rickles.

As Joe Bob Briggs once said about his chat room so long ago during TNT's Monstervision days:

"You'll need a helmet, and a cup."

So dive on in, with The General.

Take it away, General.

I have to go hunt down Spike Girl. We're going to need her help with the latest Deros clusterfuck.

This will be hallowed ground... well, for what The General says... other than that... watch your step.

What's the "latest Deros clusterfuck"? I am quite a fan of those guys.

I'm still waiting on Aldous' Dank Matter show, with special co-host Guild Navigator.

I'd hit that .... on my iPod.

[BobGrau]

It's not that I'm scared of the General, exactly... it's just that he sort of humbles me somehow.

Am I late for the show?! Fuck, my answering machine ate the tape again. Running out of tapes.

[The General]

I'm going to need a bigger box fan.

[area51drone]

I'm going to need a bigger box fan.

LOL, maybe a heater up here.   brrr its cold out today General.

[Camazotz Automat]

I'm going to need a bigger box fan.

This is validation, folks.

The topic is officially official.

As Onan stated, it's hallowed ground for what The General reveals; otherwise, caution is strongly advised.

(To the ancient GNS crew: No luck locating Spike Girl. Checked my old account friend list at Godlike and her account appears as inactive as my own. But I will give up no more, forever.)

Here is some happy place bait to lure in Spike Girl:

Shit man, do you need me to send you a money order?

[heater]

He's winding up folks.

[guildnavigator]

Shit man, do you need me to send you a money order?

I'd give you my address but my mailbox broke too, I guess that means it will be another month of walking in the cold to the bus stop. From there I can get a ride directly to the mountain where my smoke signal station is located. I will contact the mailbox builder and hopefully he remembers me. I cannot accept your money order but if you could send some pearls down this way by horseback, I know a doctor who will operate, only for pearls. I need an operation for my tibia, it gets tender with the high barometric pressure. Which reminds me, I was once different. I shut the fuck up now.

God, I miss pay phones

Tell me about it. Gone are the days of being able to drop a dime on that backstabbing bozo for not splitting the lettuce with me after the ice was fenced for that ditzy ankle. It's either snitch and put him under glass, or give him a severe case of lead poisoning.

And since I can't drop a dime on him... And he's too smart for a grift...

(reaching for ventilator)

I also miss phone booths. The real ones. Not the wall mounted privacy conch shells.

And I miss being able to rip a sheet out of a chained phone book and ruin it for everyone else. You need the page of Kowalski numbers? Or that dance joint off 4th and Harvest? Sorry.

There's an abandoned one down the street that has been crying out for me to come liberate it.
It would look so nice in my backyard.  All I need is an official looking vehicle and a couple of jumpsuits.
Me and a buddy could unbolt that thing from the sidewalk and be gone before anybody said boo.

Another sexy Saturday my fellow Gabbians!



Be it 6 strings or 12, I can't stop strumming my days away. I just sit here strumming away for half the day and polishing that hard wood in my hand the other half. Some people like to rub it up and down while I go for more circular motions, really getting the wood nice and polished. Once I get it all polished I let it settle for a good 15 minutes before starting all over again.


How to Buff and Polish your Guitar's Finish

Don't you hate when you get a great call at work with the client having a very strange issue with a vintage guitar and then you accidently tape over the call? It screwed me twice last week. I would have them call back to recreate the call but who in their right mind would ever script the calls on their podcast?



Someone asked me what's with all the pictures and videos in your posts? Very simple my Bellists, drummers may be visiting this thread! Hey-o! It's a dumb drummer joke! What do you call a drummer who breaks up with his girlfriend? HOMELESS! Gazaa! What do you call a drummer with half a brain? GIFTED! Hoozee!

[The General]

Oh, Bart, you silly evil genius.

[Bart Ell]

Something just felt so right about posting in here....

... Atkins, Arkansas .. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Takes me back to Boonville KY. I miss Jim and Vern. I know of no other High School party that could have invented phrases such as "kiss my kabassy" (kielbassa), "rock my rudabega", "manulipate my mango", and somehow after a few farts were ignited, and door opened to let some smoke out, we suddenly became members of "the out to lunch bunch". I'd almost give both of my little toes to be 12 again, and knowing what I know now, I'd easily give 4 toes for that. The memories of those not surviving never goes away though. Somehow I just hope my moments of greatest weakness and talent will end up equal in the end.

I find that incredible. I haven't seen one in a very, very long time. It's clear no one wants it. It is abandoned. If I lived in your area I would assist. You know what will happen if you don't save it? It will end up in a landfill or at best salvaged for its metal exoskeleton.

You could use it for :
Experimental recordings - a bizarre sound booth.
Bill & Ted photo sessions.
The last stop for the above mentioned Clark Kent.
A test device - how many Bellgabbers could fit into it.
A rectangular bong chamber.
Do a special Fret Files podcast while inside the acquired phone booth, every once in a while banging your elbow into a window and exclaiming, "Fuck this phone booth podcast idea, damn it! Damn Cam's idea!"

It's my considered opinion that you need that phone booth, General. It is critical. You will not regret it.

Life is short.

P.S. If none of the above serve as motivation:
You must preserve the phone booth to pass down to your son.

There. That should do it.

I'm seriously considering it....

That's like some kind of singular porn to me.

Nobody even cares about it.
Outside of the improvement, no one would even notice it was gone.
EXCEPT MRS GENERAL, who seems to be worried about it being 'illegal' and 'stealing' and getting 'arrested.'
Geez... women.

Hey Bart, that vid was a pretty good tutorial for a polish if I ever get one of those parade cars.

However, something off the top of my head to protect the naked wood while doing the machine and hand polish may be automotive non-adhesive silicone gasket compound. W/careful finger application and allowed to dry, the wood should stay dry and then some tweezers should be able to easily remove it all from the smallest screw holes. I haven't tried it for that purpose, but should work. The adhesive silicone RTV most likely wouldn't be any good at all in returning the wood back to virgin due to its strong gripping powers after hardening or vulcanizing.

Is there a working phone inside?
