The Thing (1982)

It’s my favorite movie of all time and I watch it every October.

Yeah Jimmy Dore fucks around with Alex Jones. They can both go to hell

How did your friends feel when she was pallin’ around with George Bush?

She’s as much a queer person as Oprah is a person of color. The rich are their own nation, and they don’t give a shit about you or your friends.

Why does it need a head for that matter? They could just build it to look like a urinal with a screen. This just makes me feel like I’m in a Rule 34 Astrobot piss fantasy.

This hard drive is so big, when I tried to weigh it the scale just said “one at a time please”.

I liked Bruce Springsteen, but then even he became political!

Can I still hate-read it though?

Fucking Moron Man! Defender of the average Joe, protector of the woefully mediocre! Without a thought in his head, but a spring in his step, he fights on with the conviction of a total idiot!

Okay, so by “Zionists” are you referring exclusively to members of the Israeli government or might there perhaps be a broader ideology at play here? The meme reeks of a Bernie Sanders-esqe “Netanyahu is the problem” kind of narrative.

I don’t care where they go, just leave the fucking indigenous people alone.

Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived in that area together for hundreds of years. This is a political conflict. The fucking Israeli settlers are psychopaths who roll into towns and start setting things on fire. It’s about territory, like all colonialist aggression.

Just gonna leave this here…

 

I want to buy a tshirt that features the “Catholic saint” style Luigi art, but I don’t want to support some shitty t-shirt shill in the process. Ideally I would like to buy from somewhere that will donate a portion of the proceeds to his legal fund.

Failing that, I’d like to at least support the original artist. Pic included for reference. Yes I know, terrible resolution - Google sucks now, it can’t be helped.

 
 

This is my 2008 PRS Hollowbody II singlecut and my 2006 PRS McCarty hollowbody doublecut. Both were purchased second-hand within the past six years.

The singlecut was originally offered through the PRS Artist Package and I’ve only ever found one other guitar like it on the internet. Last year I finally pulled all the piezo electronics and had it completely rewired as a regular passive guitar. Aside from that, it’s all stock.

The doublecut was a prototype produced before the hollowbody was officially offered as part of the McCarty line, or so I was told.

Both of these guitars are remarkably similar. Playability is absolutely off the charts, and I enjoyed the singlecut so much that it was pretty much-love-at-first-sight when I found the doublecut a few years later. They are the lightest damn guitars I have ever played; both weigh in at about 5lbs. The weight makes all the difference in the world during long-ass bar gigs and weddings. Tonally, they’re way more percussive than a Les Paul, but incredibly versatile nonetheless. The way the top is braced to the back allows you to crank the gain on your amp/PA without having to worry about the feedback issues typically associated with hollowbody electrics.

Hands-down, these are two of my most prized possessions. I never post pics of my instruments to normal social media because I worry about theft, so I decided to do this little write-up to help grow this new (to me) community.

 

Picked this one up a couple weeks ago. I’ve been playing for close to 20 years, and this is the first Les Paul I’ve ever really fallen in love with. The big 50’s neck profile is extremely comfortable, and holy crap do I love these Mini Humbuckers! Even though everyone quotes Spinal Tap when I say it, the sustain is exceptional; it gives the tone a very “vocal” quality.
