The devil told me the Rams will lose to the Patriots in the Superbowl.

Already made my prediction and I stand by it. It will happen. I don't want it to happen... but it will. If it doesn't happen, I'll be thrilled. But let's be real... it's gonna happen. Like they say: Hope in one hand and shit in the other - see which one fills up first.

Yes, the Superbowl will be in Atlanta. No, I will not be AT the game. FUuuuuuuUUUUUuuuUUUUuck that. Have you seen ticket prices? Not to mention,... I've seen the feds scanning the city in helicopters for radioactive material trying to find possible dirty bombs, etc. I don't think they'd be doing all that unless they had a reason to suspect something.

Dear terrorists,

Please don't. Because if you do, then we'll have to hear about moments of silence and dramatic stories of "first responders" (a word that was never used before 2001) and touching memorials to the "fallen victims", etc. And I don't wanna do that. I just wanna watch the fuckin' game. Is that alright? Please?

But no, I'm not gonna be at the game. I know a couple people who actually finagled their way into possession of some tickets that they could easily hock for 5 grand each, but they're actually gonna GO. Pfft. Not me. I'd sell those fuckers. I can do way cooler shit with 5 grand than see a superbowl between...

...the team who got to the Superbowl on a no call vs the team who picked heads in OT...

 

Nah, I'm gonna sit home and drink a couple beers while woofing down some of my cheddar, salsa, and cream cheese tortilla rollups. It's like tradition in my house. I spend hours making MOUNTAINS of these fuckin' things and then eat on them for a week or two afterwards until my asshole becomes a Philly cheese and hot sauce dispenser.

Well I should also mention hydrogen. There's a lot of it in the atmosphere. And people have skin. And this apparently is the no point to anything thread. And robots are nice to have. Sometimes I poot.

Dunno what to think of this amp.

https://www.guitarcenter.com/Marshall/Studio-Classic-20W-Tube-Guitar-Amp-Head.gc



Marshall has a very interesting new little 20 watt JCM800 ($1,299.99) which costs more than any of the DSL's or any of the JCM800's, JCM900's, or JCM2000's did when they were current from what I remember. Fuckin' inflation and greed for ya.

JCM 800's sound great if you want a no bullshit 1 channel Marshall amp for playing hard rock and classic rock. But I dunno how confident I am in this thing to sound right. Or to last. It's the size of their little 15 watt DSL portable heads, but it's actually made in England rather than in Vietnam like all the DSL series.

My head scratching starts here: It's got 2 EL34's in the power section. Not EL84's like I expected, and that's good because EL84's tend to overdrive sooner and sound a little mushier with less clarity in the midrange than EL34's. But usually you see 1 EL34 for every 20 to 25 watts of power, and all the old 50 watt JCM800's have 2 EL34's. So... how does a "20 watt" amp possess 2 EL34's in it's power section and run them hot enough to achieve the right sound? If tubes run too cold, they probably don't compress the signal like they're supposed to, and they certainly don't overdrive.

If they'd just price their fucking JCM800 reissues at something god damned REASONABLE, they wouldn't HAVE to make these cheaper lunchbox heads to rake in business, they'd just sell more of the fucking full sized JCM800's. $2,599.99 they have JCM800 100w reissues priced at right now. Fucking INSANE.

Been listening to these guys a good bit lately. You probably remember The Black Crowes. Brothers Chris and Rich Robinson parted ways and vocalist Chris started his own band. Chris actually plays guitar now, and is pretty good at it too. More on the lighter side than Black Crowes were, and very 70's sounding. I love bands that can sound as good live as they do on their albums.

LOVE the lead guitarists guitar too. There's another video online by Premier Guitar where he talks about how it was somewhat modeled after Jerry Garcia's old "Wolf" guitar. I guess that peculiar sound he and Jerry Garcia got might've had a lot to do with the brass plate that the pickups are mounted in.

Focalor's prediction was lame enough to imagine, but now it's the team who got to the Superbowl on a no call vs the team who picked heads in OT as well.

 

I know. It's fucking awesome, isn't it.

If you didn't stop watching NFL because of the "taking a knee" bullshit, you can stop watching it because it's so fucking predictable.
