I am talking doggie biscuit here!

I don't always eat biscuits, but when I do I take butter and honey. Stay hungry my friend!

At last Saturdays gig they had 2 lifesize cardboard likeness of "the most interesting man in the world"! We were playing Highway to Hell when Jerry our singer grabbed one and brought it on stage and put it right next to me. I couldn't help it I walked up behind it and brought my guitar around front like the most interesting man was playing guitar. I played the full second verse like that. people were laughing it was pretty funny! Imagine you walk into a club and there is the most interesting man in the world up on stage playing Highway To Hell. It really happened to some folks!

that's pretty funny stuff jeff!

one time i was on stage w this country band i used to work w. and the front guy (considerably younger than myself) started the intro singing " I was five yrs old when daddy started packing...."

knowing this was coming i grabbed this old Samsonite suitcase i used to use as a gig bag and had stashed behind my amp. i put down my bass, grabbed the suitcase, rubbed an imaginary tear from
my eye, gave him a hug while he was singing and left the stage towards the front door. had most of the people cracking up pretty good w that one.

Thats funny Mark. The crowd loves it when bands do that kind of stuff!

I wished Barry had taken a picture. He is always commenting about how hard it is to catch each of us at the right moment!

The seemingly pervasive lack of effort bothers me.
At least make an effort. There are sprell checkers everywhere.

Of course it was.
A little wise guy humor.

Exactly why it bugs me. sprell has a red squiggly line under it right now. I don't even have to go looking for a spelling checker, it's built in. (I'm using Firefox)

Another of my pet peeves is internet shorthand. I use LOL now and then but that's about it, but I see people all the time using it constantly. However...

I'll see a post with tons of internet shorthand, like they're too lazy to type a simple 3 to 5 letter word, but they'll type much longer words, technical terms and such then drop back to shorthand. I noticed long ago it actually makes your typing more difficult to read.

The human brain is accustomed to seeing the full word. When you shorten it to make it easier to type, the brain has to stop and figure out what it means. Then you turn around and type a word with 12 letters...HUH???? The brain instantly recognizes too, two and to. But when you insert 2 for any of them, the brain has to stop and decipher it. Even though the number 2 is just as common...when used in that manner, out of context, you have to stop and figure it out.

It certainly doesn't indicate intelligence to me. A few don't bother me much, like the ubiquitous lol or roflmao but for the most part it doesn't seem to make sense.

I guess the world is getting lazy. I know around here that seems to be the rule rather than the exception. Nobody wants to do their job, but they will certainly be there with their hand out on payday. Store clerk yesterday evening let me stand at the register and wait while she looked at 2 bags of kids' shoes her boyfriend or husband brought in before she decided to do her job. And while 3 other people lined up behind me. Which reminds me I need to go find their website and send the home office a nastygram.

Not long ago at a Racetrac in Shreveport the cashier told me I needed to go back outside and find out what pump number I was on. When I told her no, it's your responsibility to make sure the gas I pay for goes to the right vehicle, you need to look out the window, she refused and got snotty with me. She ended up getting pretty ugly, I left and got gas at another place down the street, emailed her district manager, who sent me a phone number and asked me to call him. He was very nice about it, agreed with me and had already written her up, he also said it was her 2nd strike and if she got written up again she was gone. But he never did convince me to keep doing business with Racetrac...part of every dollar I spend there goes toward her paycheck and I refuse to pay her to be lazy and rude. Period.

Sheer laziness...if you're too lazy to turn your head and look out the window, I certainly won't spend another penny at that store when I know it goes toward your paycheck. I told him exactly that, and haven't gone near a Racetrac (or Raceway, same company) since.

Same for typing in shorthand. If you're too lazy to type in a 5 letter word, don't expect me to be impressed by your intelligence. You have a spell checker built in, use it. If not it's easy to find one. Otherwise don't expect me to be impressed.

Oh and I missed sprell...very unusual, maybe I need more coffee...

You've got me thinking of Cheap Trick now.

The spelling police, they come to me in my bed.
The spelling police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no. "
