It was tongue in cheek, but that’s pretty much what they are. At least here in Australia there’s still quite a few smaller cars around, but even new ‘small cars’ are getting pretty big.

Case in point: the bog-standard station-wagon in that picture. Even the marketing dickheads realise they need a pretty girl in the picture to make it look remotely interesting.

That seems like a good way to lose a wing mirror. They’re pretty weak to downward pressure.

I appreciate the thought, but I’ve been around actual musicians, and I’m not that.

I have only the most rudimentary knowledge of music theory, have only ever written one song, which was terrible, and didn’t actually end up teaching my kids ukulele.

These days I just fiddle about with my ukes on my couch. If I ever get over my inertia, I’ve been thinking of putting up some youtube clips of my covers, but don’t hold your breath.

I’ve played guitar on and off since I was about 7, but I’m still amateurish at best. I got some lessons in my late teens from a co-worker that got me good enough to bash out chords in the church band. Played bass briefly in a band after quitting the church in the early nineties, but didn’t really touch an instrument again until the divorce in '09. I’ve been playing ukulele since then after getting some cheap ones for my kids and learning it myself to teach them and fell in love with it. I used to go busking with it 5-6 days a week singing and playing covers when I was unemployed and broke, but that ended about ten years ago when I had to get a real job.

I’ve never considered myself a musician, though.

The Game Society Pimps have played a couple of them and made them pretty hilarious. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnMlh8dHsRY9E2yZEwqIk1RxF7bPNH8t_

Regardless of what you call it, making the production of weapons an ‘industry’ is psychotic.

The Mighty Ape!

TMA is a problem. (too many acronyms)

I wouldn’t want to be the manager she wants to see.

I played the demo and will definitely get the full game when it goes on sale.

I’m perfectly comfortable not knowing.

Good luck!

Fewer dumb kids.

He cheats at golf as well.

I can’t think of any off the top of my head, but this bit by Peter Kay always has me in tears.

Also, the technical term is ‘Mondegreen’

Edit: I’m also reminded of a Colin Hay one man show I went to years ago where he told a story about a bloke that requested the ‘song about the goats’ at a gig. Turns out it was Overkill - “Goats appear and fade away”. He then went on to tell a long story about a sharehouse he lived in in his youth that decided to get a goat to keep the lawn down. Man that was a good show.

When I was a CAD draftie, multiple monitors were a godsend.

Man, I wouldn’t have been able to stay that calm. That comes from years of practice in dealing with these knobs. I would have been sorely tempted to grab that door and yank it forwards, which would only make matters worse.
