But I understand you guys are running out of pot having become the second country on the planet after Uruguay to legalise the stuff... Yes, this is true... Toronto, like London, has gone to pot... But Prime Minister Fidel Trudeau sold it all to Great Britain before the price fell through the bottom. He should be in a band, that guy.

Methinks you have taken the pot pun to new depths of mirth... You should have quit while you were a head... (A couple walk into a bar carrying a suitcase. They sit down, open the suit case, take out a living human head and place it on the bar. “This is our son Marvin,” they tell the bartender. “He was born without a body. Today Marvin is 21 years old and we’ve come to celebrate, so drinks are on the house!” After the bartender served everyone one and they sang Happy Birthday, the mother carefully poured Marvin’s drink into his mouth. Suddenly, to everyone’s amazement, Marvin began to grow a full torso complete with arms and hands. “This is incredible” said Marvin, “Look, I’ve got arms and hands. I’m so excited, I’m going to buy another round of drinks for everyone!” Then Marvin said, “Look everybody I can now handle my own drink”! He lifted his glass and poured the second drink into his mouth. At that, he began to grow legs and feet; he was now a normal looking young man. As soon as his new feet appeared, he jumped to the floor and started dancing around the bar and ran out into the street where a huge lorry roared by, flattening him into the pavement, and killing him dead. His parents began to cry and the bartender looked down sadly at poor Marvin's crumpled frame and commented, “You know... He should have quit while he was a head.”) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially for mountain walking on the continent Sounds like a long walk to take a walk. Don't you have mountains closer to home, BH? What about Mount Batten? I hear that rubber booties are passe this year, I fear. However, one should still keep them handy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you wear in San Francisco? That slippy guano no come from bats...! Maybe resurrect those platform shoes from the 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TripleB67 Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Well, I must say, my original thread has taken off on a tangent I never expected! I think I'll be content with my $130 Yamaha bass, $90 Ampeg amp, and playing songs I enjoy playing (and my family can recognize)!
