Yesterday, I saw this. My favorite is "Well done is better than well said."

Was that your Christmas present? Who gave it to you?

It's off-center.

present.

ounces. Damn! Those vegetables in China muct put up a hell of a
fight!

I didn't have any place to mount my magnetic knife rack so I stuck
them to the fridge using hard disk magnets.

I hope that's not too random for Sheldon and his man bag.

My guitar from China finally came in. On the back of the headstock, it's stamped "Made in U.S.A." :)

What's with the two overcooked dinner rolls on your cutting board right
next to the raw meat? Did you add them for fun with picture?

I have a thin Martin Yan cleaver and a heavy Henckel´s cleaver. I was
literally too stupid to think about either of them when I thin cut leftover
Christmas tenderloin with a chef´s knife for sandwiches. The Yan cleaver
would have been ideal. Next time!

Perhaps it´s a Gibson? Remember this?

That was a fine use of Justice Department resources.

It's not a Gibson, it's a counterfeit. I'll be taking it apart and monkeying around with it. I do have some real Gibsons but no monkeying around is possible with those. It's doesn't have the heft of a real Les Paul because the top is not a thick slab of maple. Instead, there's a very thin veneer of book-matched flamed maple on a carved mahogany body. It looks right pretty and construction like this makes a lot of sense these days. You can build a lot more beautiful guitars a lighter Les Paul is not a bad thing.
I do indeed remember the night they drove old Gibson down. That certainly put the fear of God into the manufacturers of guitars. In the end, Gibson paid a $300,000 fine and forfeited the wood. That's the breaks.

I wonder who finally ended up with the wood? China?

So... you found a photo online. Big Whup. I do hope you're not trying

Pretty sure it is his. Notice the Bernie sticker to the left. Doubt
there are two Nissons in the world still sporting Bernie posters.

Yep. The back end is plastered with stickers, a pretty good sign that

I've found that many of the recipes in *The Jeffrey Dahmer Cookbook* are
rather good when you sub in pork for the long pig.

That's a good question. My guess is that the official story is that they burned it. I used to associate with guys that made guitars. One guy bought as much wood as he could. I heard that he slept on a pile of wood. That guy is brilliant. His guitar tops were so finely finished that the spruce would sparkle. Beats me how he did it.

I don't know, I guess a few past priests of the Christian, Buddhist and Jewish faiths have echoed each other regarding a mirror earth.
