Life's too long for favorites. Here are some things I like.

Do you have his Rhythm and Blues album?  It's a lot better than his more famous offerings, IMHO.

I have no idea who she is (kinda looks like a young Debbie Harry in that pic), but I too feel like I should see some films with her in...

[raulduke]

It's Scarlett Johansen

I can see that resemblance as well.

'Lost In Translation' with Bill Murray is the only movie i could name with her in it, quite enjoyed it.

Bloody hell, didn't recognise her! I, ahem, was focussing on her face for a change it seems rather than her frankly magnificent bod.

FWIW, I've seen a lot of her films *blushes* / *shuffles feet*

[icecycle66]

She's Black Widow in all the Avengers movies.

Guitar: I went from being a guitar hoarder to this single guitar, which will never leave my possession




Amp: I prefer my beat up old fender champ
Pickup: I like wide range humbuckers and normally only use my neck pickup
Strap: no preference
Strap locks: I actually use strap holders for a bass
Everything else is always changing

Beautiful guitar. Details man, we need details (like, for example, where did you get that beautiful silver foil humbucker?)

I have a build thread about it on another forum that I can try to find a link to...It was custom built by a local company to my specs.  I am kind of a LP guy converted to a tele guy so there are lots of LP-ish quality.

Body and neck are both mahogany and the the neck actually has a fat 50's LP profile and a 12" radius. Ebony board. Neck and Body both have a nitro dog hair finish. Body has a huge 1/2" roundover. Bridge is kinda weird...it is essentially a fixed bridge (saddles don't move), so it feels more like a bigsby than a fulcrum. Two sunken crazy oversized knobs (because I like crazy oversized knobs haha) and the pickgaurd is actually sandblasted aircraft aluminum.

The pickups are from mojotone.  It is not actually a silverfoil though.  I asked if they could squeeze a wide range humbucker into their silver foil enclosure and they accommodated Bridge pickup is a higher output broadcaster style

Awesome!  I really liked the first Ultima Underworld, didn't get a chance to play UU2.  Then I played U8 which I thought was cool, in a "drop you into nowhere and you figure it all out on your own" kinda way (this was before there were game walkthroughs available on the internet so easily).  Then I upped to Ultima Online around 1998.  That game was...   basically crack cocaine in video game form at the time.  I got out while the getting was good and made a few hundred by selling off virtual wares before canceling my account.  Had a lot of fun too.

Favourite Sport (to watch): Football (the real kind, not Hand Egg)

Have to disagree.  Football is clearly depicted on the right.  On the left is "soccer".  Or, I'll give you "Fútbol".  But if you spell it with two O's and two L's then it's definitely the American version. 

[alanp]

That isn't football. It's American gridiron.

REAL football is rugby, where men don't feel the need to strap on twenty kilograms of armour and padding just to play a sport.
