I'm good enough to get away with it most of the time, and to fake it when I can't.

 

It's ended up sounding really good and has a nice feel to it, which is encouraging me to whip it out and play with it more often. Which is good. Unless I go blind.

at least if you go blind you won't be able to see bob laugh at you

Very handsome. Never carved Alder - generally, woods from riverside growing trees don't carve well, though they have great tensile strength, which is probably what you want in a geetar.

 

My latest hemisphere in exchange:

Eeeef. Boy got skills.

(Yay other-Steve, is it buying the dragon a pint?)

So mean :(

He's clearly ofering the wee beastie a lollipop in order to stop it licking his head.

So mean :(

There's nothing mean about that, you dappy bitch.

Having now cradled one of your balls in my hand, I'm even more amazed by your carving skills, because they're even smaller than I'd anticipated.

Mind you, you've got big hands. Strong, too, but gentle.

Curiously enough, given that my subject matter is the two patron saints of Jersey, SS George and Mary, this is actually a Mary ball, not a George one.

 

It's the story of the Seigneur of Hambye, a Norman Lord who slayed a dragon in la Houge Bie, Jersey, which had been causing the natives some upset. The other half will show him being cowardly (cowardlily?) killed by his own manservant, in order that he can get into the knickers of his master's missus.

 

When she found out out what he had done, she had him hung, then built a Maryan chapel on top of a huge mound (actually, a celtic barrow) so that she could see it from Normandy.

 

Interesting iconographic stuff going off there, I think: barrows, long associated with dragons (rumours started to protect contents? Or because, when they are dug, a hoard of treasure is found inside?). Maryan chapel, (which is still there today) symbolic conquest of Christianity over paganism? And an interesting Freudian twist, with Mary overwhelming the dragon. Girls on top...

 

An education in every nut.

Be sick. Cause then you'll probably feel a bit better for a while, unless you were /really/ hammered.

Just, drink water and stuff probably. TRY SOME MIRACLE HANGOVER CURES.

 

And yeh, but vodka is rats piss anyway.

What you /were/ doesn't really come into it. If you're feeling crap, being sick the once may well sort you out to a point where you can feel a bit better for the rest of the day. If you're too far gone, it'll feel better for about a minute and then you'll feel as bad again. Drink water, stay away from bright lights and noise and monitors.
