And don't forget the theme song:
(copied)
The Slipkid Manifesto
To the tune of “Won’t Back Down”
V1
Well I been hang’in round Listen’in to you clowns
You’re talk’in bout Llamas and your scaring all the Mamas
Just to lift your post count
Just to lift that post count
V2
The board’s a real neat place
We like to meet Face-to Face
But when you talk about your bowels Then I’m throw’in in the Towel
And I won’t back down
I’m going to stand my ground
(light lead riff takes the Verse Line)
V3
I know I’ve had my thrills
The Fishsticks were overkill
And though my pictures plastered all over this town
I won’t back down
I wanna stand my ground
Chorus
He-e-e-e-e-y Baby, did you read that post first
Ya-a-a-a-a-h maybe you better change some words
And I won’t back down
I wanna stand my ground
I wanna stick around
Ya, I won’t back down
V4
When someone says “Amen” You ought to call them friend
And if you want to fight about it Don’t stay in here and shout about it
Drop them a P M
Don’t make me say it again
And I won’t back down
I wanna stand my ground
Chorus
No he won’t back down…
No he won’t back down… fade |

These are really just rebroadcasts from prior postings.

Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba CANADA | One thing that I didn't see mentioned in the 'manifesto' (sorry if I missed it...) was the old chesnut... 'Treat people as you yourself would like to be treated' (or for the afore-mentioned praise musicians who would probably know it better as 'Do unto others...').
So many of the confrontations here start when things that are innocently said or done are taken completely out of context (intentionally or unintentionally...) and people start going out of their way to make a point or rub someone's nose in it.
Maybe it's a 'Canadian thing', but I find more often than not that it's HOW something is said more than the actual intent that sets off these confrontations.
I would be the first to admit that a majority of the members here probably know WAY more about Ovations than I do, have WAY more disposable income than I do, play better than I do, have WAY nicer guitars etc etc... but ... several of them are also full-on RUDE and discourteous to other members a fair amount of the time and that is totally unnecessary. I am sure they wouldn't behave like that in their day-to-day business or social lives ('cause they'd likely be getting punched out a lot of the time...).
It doesn't cost anybody ANYTHING to be polite to people... Try it, you'll notice a world of difference. |

How many of these people have you met, John, because I think some of them NEED to be punched out a lot of the time. |

....and be best friends for life immediately after!
Ava, I believe 'the golden rule' is referenced somewhere in the manifesto. By intention if not directly.
Another 'challenge' here is how we choose to hear something as much as what is said. Anyone who takes me to task on what they think I shoulda said instead of what I DID say is just showing their inner control freak....IMNSHO. |

In the meantime, everyone read the manifesto.

It's worth your time..... |

Congratulations on sagaciously summing up the situation with just two simple diagrams!
Genius!

Good job. I have learned alot about these great guitars in this blog; but if I have to say the best posts,topics and answers are those that are short and to the point.
