Bootie-licous?

Post by mad_dog_cole »

Can't imagine this advert lasting long especially with THAT item description!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tokai-rockinbette ... dZViewItem

But I wouldn't mind having one to tart up the electrics a bit, maybe make it active without wrecking a £1000+ bass. Wouldn't pay that for it though, that price is way over what they're going for here.

Everything looks so out of proportion. The symmetry and balance of the RIC design is missing here.

I just learned a new word - siderography.

1. I emailed RIC legal just before last night's post, though I have no idea if that was the reason it was pulled.
2. I never heard of the word before, but saw it in the dictionary when looking up the spelling of symmetry.

So, Ive a question that has bugged me from the 2nd grade. How are you ever supposed to find how to spell a word by looking it up in the dictionary if you can't spell it?!?!?!?! :lol: We bought Thorndike-Barnhart dictionaries then and if we asked "how do you spell _____?" we were told to look it up in the dictionary! :shock:

Online it's so much easier; Google asks you if you really meant, "whaboosma", and gives you alternates.

BTW, did you know that you can set your Google Search language preference to "Elmer Fudd"? It gives you diffewent seawch pwefewences and a diffewent outwook on things, too.
