Tihmmnmmish's Cuddle-Friendly Fireside Threadcast

Well, as long as reality television prevails, fame would not be of much value. Besides, without Johnny Carson in the world... So instead I'd be happy making something that made someone else happy. Small scales are fine. On the other hand a couple stingrays in the garage would be swell too.

Greetings, BJ & NJ.

TH at your humble service.

Thanks ! Started out great with a personal gift from/with my wife.
But now I have to write a letter temporarily banning an individual from our club (I'm currently president of the board of directors so these fun jobs are mine to do).

I've been banned from a pub or two in my time but that was in my mad bad WRAF days when I was learning all the bad things in life, like being able to drink ones friends under the table and wondering how you made it back to base in one piece. My friend and I went out one night with no money betwwen us got absolutely sloshed and she ended up with £5 in her purse! Not as bad as it sounds, I think she just kept somebodys change from a round of drinks lol at least I hope that was the reason!

I've found it easier to end up with extra money when the other person was drunk like the guy in Vegas who wanted to take me back to Colombia with him and kept handing me twenties.

My hometown had one country club which is amazing since it is a "center" for horse breeding and steeplechase. I remember going there to golf with my daddy when I was very young, seeing all the rich people and wondering if I would marry one of their sons. Of course, I never did, but the club was so nice. I wish now I had paid more attention when he was trying to teach me how to putt, I mighta beena contenda, ya know?

Glad you had a good day.

You were in the Air Force?
Me too.
How about that.
 
I had a hard time adjusting to military ways. But the goin drinkin all night wasn't bad. They were pretty lenient about getting to work late in Kef, but not very lenient in Yokota, thus problems ensued.
 
and smokin hash with locals in Reykjavik
gotta be a poem in that huh?
god, if they'd caught me
but it's been quarter of a century
should be safe to confess it.
Oh and their local liquor
started with a B...
Bren-something. Wicked stuff.
Oh man, memories all of a sudden.
 
Back when they could have hard liquor but not beer.
They'd try to smuggle it off the base, give it to their friends or sell it dear.
Actually I think I helped someone do that once.
Or they wanted me to. Can't remember.
Funny how a seemingly trivial trigger can unleash so many memories.
 
Guess rules have value after all. Boundaries to decide whether or not to violate and if you do and can get away with it, might give something to smile about a quarter century later. So a season of strict poetic rules would be good. Someone should establish a new school of thought in which form and structure are emphasized at the expense of free expression. I think we''ve forgot the value of the straight man's role. It's... uh, what's the word? Why do the right words hide away just when you want them?

I got charged a couple of times once for leaving a dead insect on my windowsill behind books on bull (cleaning) night! Yeah now that's have terrible consequences on the way the RAF protects the country right? Let's march her down the guardroom and pull her over the coals infront of her commanding officer and put her on jankers for a week after all that one dead insect might ground a whole squadron.
 
the folks I met or was subordinate seemed to be either way cool or supreme pricks; didn't seem to be much in between.
 
I had a hard time getting to work on time and maintaining regulation grooming standards (hair length and such). Some were forgivably humane. Others were not.

After losing my college deferment I got a high draft lottery number and avoided the military. Seems to run in my family - my father worked on the Manhattan Project. My grandfathers were a farmer and a metallurgist - both wanted at home.

Ah I see.
They janked me a few times too.
At least they tried.
After five years I finally got an early out.
And here we are, twenty-some years later.

No basis for comparison, but I think college like I did, would be more fun.

I passed an exam to go to college but my mother (being what she was) refused to let me go, and they could in those days if you were under 21. Goodness knows how I got away with joining the WRAF I suppose as I had already signed on the dotted line there wasn't much she could do about it. Although she did say I would never stick it out and would be back in a week huh I never went back there to live again .... freedom was sweet!

Did you ever jump from a plane?

You sure have had an interesting life so far.

Not from a plane but from a balloon tethered in one spot I did a lot of mad things in those days!
 
Seemed like a good idea at the time... like being unable to love a loved one.
 
Well you're not so wrong about that, EO.

The Love in question is my old acoustic. The fix didn't hold up. There's a lot of sentimental value to that guitar; don't really want another. About a year ago a relative came out to visit. He's a guitar player too. He wanted to borrow mine for a couple nights. Most anyone else I'd likely said sorry but no. Well, it had a few minor little places that were in need of repair attention but it was in overall good shape. Over the years it developed a sound that was pretty and sweet but also could reach out and bite and it played really easy. Well, the relative took it upon himself to Improve it. Set the action way low. It was okay at first, but then I noticed it lost some of its punch. Realized I preferred it slightly higher.

To shorten the story, I've never been able to get it back to the way it was. Sometimes I think it's there but it goes south again. Very frustrating. Problem is, I'm a nice guy and the relative is a nice guy, so it's hard for me to think of a nice but effective way to call him up and tell him I really wish he'd just left the guitar alone. I haven't been without access to an acoustic for many years. It's a tough thing to handle. I mean, it's sitting right there in the corner and I want to play it, but can't. It's a downer.

On top of that, just a day or so ago I came to the conclusion that I really have a preference for working with sounds and songs and stuff. Thought the way was clear, since it seemed the acoustic was back in biz. Then today it quit again. I mean, there's an electric, which I love too, but not having the option to use the acoustic kinda sucks the enthusiasm out. I mean, it's raining outside now. Perfect for some quiet acoustic strums. Alas... it's really getting me down to be honest. Tried to reignite an interest in words both poetic and prosy but it's just not there. Feeling very lost.
