Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

What about us having a classy forum pin or something that could be worn at guitar shows, etc. to help us recognise each other (not a t-shirt though as in the UK it is winter 13 months of the year). Lots of us must walk past other forum members at events and just not know it. A passing stranger wouldn't be a stranger for long if we knew he/she was a forum member too.

Like a secret society?? Could we have a special hand shake??

And wear aprons and ride goats around the room, and..........

If we were in the same room, no badge would be needed, I would be the one without the accent. A drawl maybe, but no accent.:

We could have a twelve-fingered handshake.

Peter, we could do one of those pins that have a flashing LED and say something like, "Ricks Need Luv Too."

If we were in the same room, Stan, I'd be the one with beer in hand and chicken grease on the 330!

You probably wouldn't be able to detect an accent through the slurred speech!!

Speaking of slurred speech, I'd be the one with marks on the back of my 330 from the day I tripped over and almost onto it drunk one night!!!

Howard, if the speech is slurred and there is a beer in hand, then I might think I was talking to myself. (Only after 9am however).

Use Zymol to get chicken grease spots off Fireglo.

I know, I know, Paul!! How do I get Fireglo spots off my chickens? Does Zymol get saliva off the front of shirts?

If I'm really in the mood, Stan, I use the standard reasoning: "There's a bar open somewhere in the world right now"!

Howard, take off that apron, get off your favorite goat, and listen: That's not Fireglo on your chicken. It's barbecue sauce.

Now if you wore that apron when you ate those "Fireglo" chicken bits, you wouldn't have saliva on the front of your shirt.

Just seems a typical case of early Altzheimer's, brought on by Rick frenzy. Cut down on the mercury, too, while you're at it.

Well, All those constructive comments! I think that we have got it sorted between us all. Just keep an eye out for anyone who is p*ssed (this means drunk in the UK), dribbling, has 12 fingers, a rolled up trouser leg and talks with a funny voice and the odds are that you have found a fellow forumite.

I'm all for it, Peter.

All we need is a design, probable permission from JH and/or PM (assuming there will be 'Rickenbacker' and/or 'Forum' on it somewhere), somebody keen to put it all together and Bob's your uncle (in my case, Fred).

I've got a couple of very special (to me) badges at home that I'll post photos of.

Paul: It is Fireglo!! The chooks like rubbing up against the Ricks when I'm taking photos outside (sorta like a cat). They get very nervous when the barbecue sauce comes out!

Which leads me to another question - how do I fix beak marks around the tailpiece?

Sorry, guys...... no more banal ****!

Come on now, Howard...you lie to your friends and I'll lie to mine, but let's not lie to each other...As to your question, keep your tailpiece covered at all times to avoid such problems.

Better than Badges: what about 'third-eye' tattoos on the foreheads? Put something there before the 'Gubmint' has a chance to...
