I must have laughed for 5 minutes from visuals of someone actually doing that with their bike. I like some of those off the wall responses. I like when they follow it up with some advice too. Still funny though
Follow Ups:
Let's face it, this hobby can be a serious pain in the ass from so many different directions; humor is VERY important as far as I'm concerned.I've been posting on this board since early (and I mean REALLY early) in its beginning. It has gotten me through some extremely tough days, incredibly tough parts of my life. Throughout, I have never felt that I should be anything other than helpful and better, for me, a good student because my knowledge pales in comparison to many of the people who have posted here.
But we need to laugh often, afunny post doesn't need to be taken as being insensitive. Many time a question is asked in a way that strikes the reader as funny. Yes, people need anwers to their problems, but there are lots of times there have been more than enough comments leading the person who posed the question to the point where
they can make an informed (now) decision...the humor doesn't remove those posts that simply gave answers and information.I'm guilty of both humor (many times silly) with no info added and humor with information I know or know where to get that info!
Leaving in droves? I think more people leave a forum like this because of boredome than being upset with humorous comments. I stay only because it's an outlet for my feelings and to help when I can. Not a bad reason to keep coming to a me[ssage board, I don't think.
And...just when I think I've read every type of post, someone asks a question that's truly unique. And that, my fellow nutcases, is part of being human...we are capable of being unique!
It's a great life if you don't sweat the small stuff...and roll with the huge punches life can deal. This is one way to deal with life...our music is another; this place is only a small part of the what and why of music.
Laugh, dammit!

If I had more money I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LPs!
The occasional well placed joke is funny. But people who routinely want to prove what a funny guy they are frequently come across (especially in something as impersonal as this) as a bit grating and obnoxious.
...especially the humor over boredom part, if you catch my drift (certain that you do).
