Got two new DVD sets ... the British TV series Midsomer Murders sets 10 and 11. I love British mystery shows. Usually very well done character building and complicated plots to keep you watching til the end.

Sorry PF, missed the question.

Kununurra in the Kimberlies.

Ah, but that would be a distinguishing mark, now wouldn't it? How can I live out my secret pervy life in anonymity? I wish we could put pix on PMs.

My days are starting to fill up again, despite the kids being gone. That's a good thing.

If there are particular Pixies you wish to see it, create a hotmail account and email the photo to the same account. Give the password to the chosen.

Thanks Oldfart. :) I think I've got a workaround now.

I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow. Suppose to be in a Labor Day parade in a nearby town and then go for a hog roast at a friend of ours home.

Here's hoping for you.

I got rained on HARD leaving Ashland City today. And I swear one of the lightning strikes hit just above the roof of my van
:yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

I'm annoyed that one of the ads in the Sunday paper described the guitar that comes with the new Beatles Rock Band game as a Rickenbacker 325, when it clearly was a faux guitar meant to look like the Hoffner bass (which makes no sense anyway, but that's another rant) and didn't look anything like a Rick 325. That tiny bit of research shouldn't have been that hard to do, right????

Today is suppose to have some nice weather for the parade I'm in.

Doesn't bode well for how realistic the game will be, does it? Heard this a.m that "Back In the U.S.S.R" shows all 4 Beatles in their usual roles, while most any true Beatle fan knows that Ringo had quit the band during that recording, Paul was on the drums, & George was plucking away at a Fender Bass VI...so much for virtual reality.

I think the demographic they're aiming the game at doesn't know about all that and would disappointed to play a game that doesn't have all four Beatles in it. I know I didn't know that Ringo had left the group, but while I enjoy their music I'm not a hardcore fan and I'm to young to have lived through that time period.

Tsk, tsk. Kids these days, eh Scotz? They got no culture. :p

Rock Band is based on doing live shows not studio recording. I'm going to take a leap here and assume that when they played "Back In the U.S.S.R" live Ringo played drums.

I'm pretty sure the Beatles never played "Back in the USSR" live; they stopped doing live shows in 1966, with the exception of the rooftop concert in 1969. The White Album including that song came out in 1968.

Next! :spank:




;) :D

I'm skipping today's morning meeting. Just too tired today. :(

I'd like to skip work but then bills wouldn't get paid.

Boy, I've been really lazy today so far.

They do offer a Rickenbacker 325 that can be purchased separately (as well as a Gretsch Duo-Jet), but that's silly to say the Rick comes with the game when it clearly does not. I'm curious why you feel it makes no sense to offer the game with the Hofner bass?

I would really like to pick this game up. I find the Rock Band/Guitar hero games to be fun as it is, but I think it's really cool that the Beatle's Edition allows for up to three vocalists so you can (attempt) to sing the harmonies as led by the game.

The ad I saw had the picture of the Hofner bass labeled as the Rick. I think it's weird that the instrument that comes with the game is a bass; not a lot of people play air bass; it's faux guitar they want to play.

Of course, I don't see the appeal myself. Why would I want to play a fake guitar? I'd rather play for real.

I ruined dinner!! I made this sandwich and it came out crappy and I tried to make oven-fried onion rings and burned them to a nasty crisp. Should have made him take me out for dinner. :(

This is the third full Rock Band brand game released and it's supposed to be compatible with most controllers, including those produced for use with Guitar Hero. There's a solid chance that folks that pick up this game will already have a guitar (at the very least) that will work with this game and the Hofner bass is arguably the most recognizable instrument the Beatles used. People have the option of guitar, bass, vocals, and drums in the game, so it makes sense, to me anyway, to include the bass since most folks likely don't have one. (Yes, a regular guitar controller will work fine, but they're trying to sell the look as well as the music.) They also sell a non-Beatles related bass controller that has a split strum bar so you can walk it with two fingers. Just some info on a game I have fun with, which is really all it is... A game of dexterity and hand eye coordination.

I want a kitten!!!

I just found out that someone i work with (pretty sure which 1 of the 2) is far more bitch than i ever gave her credit for! I'm upset and disappointed in her and am not quite sure how i will manage to face her let alone be civil this afternoon.

I've got a headache. Haven't had one in ages, but, this one is making up for lost time. :(

^^^^^^^^Ahhhh, feel better DB


I got the next two days off and I plan to be LAZY!!!!

My alarm went off at 4:30am this morning. Ugh.

I'm going for a girls weekend soon, and must say i'm looking forward to it *L*

Hey, I always wanted to be Paul anyway!...'cept I'm not a lefty...

I suppose I was being a little grumpy & splitting hairs on the "who played what" dispute...the developers actually answered the question of "USSR" saying that they were more concerned w/peeps having fun being the Beatles, than historical accuracy. I'm with AZ (I wish!) on getting the guitar names right should be a major priority.

Aqua, I asked #2 son if he was interested in getting the Beatles/Rock Band, & he said his Guitar Hero controllers don't work w/RB...could be he got it wrong, but I didn't realize there was a difference....

The 1st legalised brothel here is having an open day on Saturday (complete with a sausage sizzle *L*) I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wanna go have a looksee. I'll be asking Bilbo tonight if we can go *L*

And let me say, ppl around here need to build a bridge over the fact that the brothel is here. Honestly, i'd much rather a legal one where girls regularly have health checks and things arent sleazy than the illegal ones that are around

"sausage sizzle?" :faint: :yikes:



...ooooh, you didn't mean...

Not that sort of sausage *LMAO*

"brothel here is having an open day" does seem to have a certain ring to it.

I like the sound of that! :)

I've got to do some lawn trimming this morning.

Must take Dearsweet to her medical exam at 8:00!

Suppose there's any free samples involved? :licker:

Herer we go again. Looks like another shitty asthma day.

Advair is your friend GG.
