Re: Post A Picture Of Yourself
Hey Lee, I wonder what would happen to a mandolin exposed down there in say, -60 deg F weather?
Too bad you don't have a cheap strung up dog of a mandolin to find out...I'll bet it wouldn't be a pretty picture.
BTW, is that you at the helm of that, uh, snowcat?
Re: Post A Picture Of Yourself
Now that I've conquered my photo issues, I'll try to figure out how to get some sound of Froggy on here somewhere, somehow...that'll probably take a while so don't be holdin' yer breath now.

Pistenbully? PISTENBULLY? - now that shakes my confidence in polar science professionalism. A snowcat from Germany/Austria supposed to trim tourist-infested ski resorts (and looking like Barbie and Ken should drive it) makes it to the Antarctic... What other toy machines do you have down there?

Re: Post A Picture Of Yourself
Somehow this looks like a funeral - what happened to the late and lamented mandolin?

Re: Post A Picture Of Yourself
Looks like a coffin case ... Clearly this is a grave situation.

Re: Post A Picture Of Yourself
That would be the Eastman shaped case, not a coffin, and if he really was playing final music graveside, what I thought of looking at the fence, you guys might want to reconsider the puns.

Dear "Post A Picture Of Youself" thread,
I'm so sorry I missed your 6th birthday.

Re: Post A Picture Of Yourself
Point well taken. I would not have been so crass if I thought it were really a funeral - he is wearing jeans and loafers, rather informal attire. I thought it an odd juxtaposition, hence my gallows humor. We had no clear indication from Plectrosaurus about the event portrayed. My intention was to amuse, not offend, and if I have, I apologize.

Re: Post A Picture Of Yourself
Been to any funerals lately? The ones I've been to I have seen as many people in informal attire as formal attire. We have become a rather informal society and many people just don't own any formal clothes anymore.

Re: Post A Picture Of Yourself
Same for me. I am sorry if this should have been a serious situation - in that case the pun backfired on me. I guess that's a risk we punsters are willing to take, but not meaning to hurt anybody but ourselves in the process. No offence meant, my apologies.

Re: Post A Picture Of Yourself
the fence had me guessing as well ... funny what associations images have - but in this case (bertram's comment et al) one would have to be looking very hard for offense to take it.

Taken today as I was deciding whether to trim the beard shorter or not. I didn't, by the way.

Good decision. Trimming won't get you anywhere near Grisman

Verrry punny! HA!!!
I'm hoping Plectrosaurus will ring in and explain the photo. Maybe he's waiting for us to hit that 1000 word mark?We've been indulging in conjecture, which can be misleading. You know what happens when you assume ...
I like your new avatar. That's one way to always be sure your playing comes from the heart!

Re: Post A Picture Of Yourself
Nice ax!
I have three questions:
1) Did you play mandolin in the band?
2) Why'd you cut your hair and your buddies didn't?
3) Was the set list something like: Althea - Space - Drums - Truckin' ?
Good ol' Grateful Dead ...
