Small double shot latte: Embodying Gender In An Intersectional Framework

Gotta give you two thumbs up:

YouTube suggested Ladyva a few weeks ago. Here's a recent performance:

@SSmith1226 said in Some good...."non-trumpeting" music :

This is the music that my parents instructed me not to like when I was a kid. Lotta good that did!

I was stupefied by the girl that played the first tune. She played all the right notes but emphasized the beat! It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!
Other than that... I couldn't help but smile. Apparently neither could anyone else. Happy, joyful music!

Decades ago I set up and autocrossed a friend's Sunbeam Tiger. What a blast! It was a bit tail-happy, but it just made steering with the throttle easier.

A few years ago I had the chance to autocross a couple of Mazda MX-5s. Superb. Dale, you've got a winner there. Happy motoring!

@ssmith1226 I like that they painted the PVC box blue; a nice tribute. Here's my favorite; I saw this live on their tour (in 2003, I believe):

This was a YouTube recommendation:

@barliman2001 I wish you a remarkably speedy and complete recovery.

Believe it or not, I have finally realized and have to concede that I have a bit of difficulty recognizing the difference between very dark blue and black. It has come up several times only recently but I would describe something as “black” and have everyone else who looks at it say, no, it’s dark blue!

I may have a solution to your dilemma. Go to YouTube and search for “Marcus Pincus the Tailor”. Choose the video called “The Tailor”. If you search specifically for “The Tailor” other videos will show up first.
If you watch this video, the comparative method solving your visual problem will be obvious. I am not posting it directly due to a language issue near the very end. If you are offended by crude language, in this case one word beginning with the 6th letter of the alphabet, then please don’t watch it. The below is a screen shot of the appearance of the video on YouTube. It is not a video link.
Thanks, and I hope it helps, or at least makes you smile.

I recommend watching this video to the very end, past the credits.

I like lemons. Perhaps he's more akin to a housefly.

Ages ago I had a GT6 that looked very much like this one, only without the butchered roof and the stock muffler. I lowered it an inch, which made it corner quite well, to put it mildly, and with 3 SUs and a header, it was a madman when you used the go pedal. I sold it on the one and only day I didn't have to fix something on it:

@newell-post said in New Toy (not a trumpet):

Sorry. I used to love cars. Now I hate cars. They are a necessary evil, but I just want ones that start and run reliably and drive comfortably.

You have the same attitude as my wife. She now says "All cars are junk, no matter how old or new they are."

For a little bit of perspective, and since we're indulging in car/motorcycle porn, my wife occasionally used to street race against Pontiac Trans Ams back in the day and win, driving her sedan that looked exactly like this one:

She said "I liked the way it pinned my ears back when I gave it the gas." It got to the point that I spent one day per week repairing it.

Now she drives this, when it isn't taking its 4 - 10 days off per month waiting for parts:

Meanwhile, we're shopping for a newer sedan for her with the right balance of reliability, performance, and price.

@ssmith1226 That's using your head!

@bigdub The 180 is the overall length of the tubing in inches, and the 43 is the measurement in inches from mouthpiece to bell. S is for silver, of course. It's a BIG mutha!

@bigdub Remember this from TrumpetMaster?

Interesting photos. You have the eyes of an artist.

Thank you, George; nice of you to say.

Ahhh... a picture of my ancestors!

But it was an unhappy ending for them. The Jericho people, that is......

Not much humor to be found in some aspects of Caananite culture, to be sure. The concept of trumpets playing a part in effecting conquest over evil can be considered a positive thing, can it not?
