You've been "discovered" here, Jerry.

Can I please have a show of hands of all those who have been impressed?

:lol: Sounds like Pat is pi$$ed Jerry. I just wish you boys could get your act together....no pun intended. Man, I haven't been talked to like that since Sister Mary Reynolds in the 2nd grade. :wink:

Yeah, they say Carmelite nuns are tough, but nobody's tougher than one of those Bakelite nuns.

Hope the rest of the cast gets their act together. What is it about folks anymore and their lack of work ethic?

Some useless trivia: I don't remember all of the details, but as the story goes, someone was attempting to create a plastic material for electrical insulation. I don't remember the time frame ... might have been one of Edison's or Ford's folks, but none of their recipes would get hard when they cured. In a desparate whim, someone in the lab added baking powder, and low and behold it got hard and became what we now know as Bakelite.

Rickenbacker made some of the first electric lap steel guitars using Bakelite for one-piece bodies/necks, but then found that it expanded and contracted with temperature, which ruined tuning.

And another LTG induced coffee snort that just barely missed the keyboard. I either need to stop using the computer :wink: to read LTG or stop drinking coffee.

It's a good thing you have guitar playing to fall back on, Cryo-Jer.
Or have you only been acting like a guitar player?
If you have, then you are very good and should keep acting!

Break a leg!

First Night tonight...Aaaargh...where's my 'depends' :mrgreen:

Break a leg.

(Or is that one of those expressions that only makes sense in American theater after John Wilkes Booth's exit from Ford's in April 1865?)

Its also a good expression in the English theatre (another spelling difference) :mrgreen:

At least if I blow the audience's minds it will be less fatal than it was for Mr L :roll:
