Not only him. Case in point: one album review Urban made consisted of the word "shit" only. He later amended this to "Really shit" and then "No, really really shit." See? You can say it in a few words. ;)

Seriously, I think it would be something you'd be really good at.

Cheers.

Someone who definitely is not Trollheart, but sure sounds like him ... and is apparently using his credit card...

Dear SWDISNTBSSLHAIAUHCC,

I've submitted a journal entry and am awaiting mod approval.

It's a bit on the heavier side so I'm not sure if it's going to fly.

Dear Chulio,

I'm having trouble figuring out a Jason Becker song. I mean, I can throw my guitar down the stairs and it makes a similar sound, but I want to learn how to play it exactly like it sounds on the record. Any advise?

Dear Paul,

Why not do the same thing you did at that NAMM jam many years back when you had the daunting task of having to follow Shawn Lane's solo - just scream into your pickups. (true story)

Faithfully yours,

Dear Stumps,

FF to 5:25 to get to Lane's solo. Check out the looks on the faces of Reb Beach and Andy Timmons! Paul Gilbert immediately follows Lane.

(crappy video and audio but still cool that it's documented)

Dear Chula,

When I put my face into the mustard jar and take a deep breath, my nose starts hurting like hell. Why is that?

Dear -Gooflesh10

Well, the long answer is:

The material in question is called ALLYL ISOTHIOCYANATE. Roughly, it looks
like this:

CH2==CH-CH2-N==C==S

It is usually found in "hot" mustard and in horseradish. It is an oily
compound that vaporizes rather easily (vapor pressure 5 mm Hg at 25 deg C).
Like the "hot oils" found in peppers, which are generally capsaicins and
related compounds, allyl isothiocyanate is very irritating to mucous
membranes, and for some reason many of us like it. The difference, though,
is in its volatility, which is to say, how fast it vaporizes on your tongue.

When you chew spicy food the oil is released. Capsaicins are not very
volatile and thus tend to stick to your tongue. That is why Mexican food
and other pepper-spicy foods mostly burn the tongue and throat. Allyl
isothiocyanate evaporates more readily on your tongue and floats its way up
into your sinuses (yes, as a gas), which is why both your mouth and nose
burn when you eat something with horseradish or mustard in it.

The short answer is:

You're an idiot.

Adios,

Chula

Dear Chula,

How does one stop a ****ty day from getting worse!?

Chula Vista 11-11-2014 10:35 AM

Dear

Stop and realize that no one is going to die today because of your actions or in-actions.

I assume that this is a true statement?



It is, isn't it?




Roxy?
