Old cat snoozing in the sun, kitten on fish patrol (the net is to keep the Heron out).

I have caught it on more than one occasion before the net went up. Once I was waiting for it (3:30 am) and had a quiet word with it and it hasn't been back since.

I love these threads that go all over the place. You've got simultaious discussion about nazis, guitars, washed up rockers, nuns, and pond aquatics! Peter, this is the best attempt to steer a thread from impending doom yet.

"Oddly enough, I just read that NSN and Randy were in a band together"

I love the whole six degrees of seperation aspect to life. One final attempt to right this ship; where did the original Lemmy bass idea come from? Is the carving something he comissioned on a stock Cheyene? Did he use the "nazis" bass in the old days, and later carve up a 4004Ci due to his love of Bavarian clocks, what's the story?

I went to Catholic School. The nuns were pretty vicious.
And they didn't like rock and roll.

Doesn't Lemmy have a Dear Abby type radio talk show? I heard he gives out pretty good advice, I mean for an alledged nazi memorbilla collector/heavy metal bass player/womanizer.

Wes, all good questions.. I have tried to find out if RIC made/modified the basses that Lemmy plays, more so the MG. Also, why the walnut carvings? He never played it until the LE came out.

BTW, my knuckles are still sore from all the nun/yardstick damage..
