Give ancat a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a cat to fish and he will stare at you until you give him another fish.

Or something like that.

That depends on whether the fish is riding a bicycle or not, doesn't it?

You'll never get a cat a ride a bicycle, unless they're in the basket and someone else is doing the peddling. :wink:

They have excellent balance. It's the bike's fault or maybe I didn't push hard enough or maybe the ramp wasn't steep enough and maybe the parachute wasn't packed well.

I'm sorry.

backing off the volume of a good fuzz face will make a turned up amp sound cleaner than switching off the FF and backing off. Love that sound, but you have to find or build a good one.

Miles, you need bigger wheels in order to develop enough speed to accomplish whatever it is you're trying to accomplish. :P

There it lies: The first hurdle you'll need to surmount. If you seriously cannot hear the difference between "5 or 50 watt, clean or dirty, analog or digital, SS or tubes", then you clearly have not done enough LISTENING (is there an echo in here?). How can you possibly describe to us, the sound you're after when you cannot hear it yourself?

On the other hand, if they ALL sound the same ...... all he has to do is pick one (that fits his budget and cartage constraints) and he's done. Et voila'! :wink:

No. Dogs have friends. :)

I SAID I'M SORRY! I thought if I dressed him in stars and stripes that Evel Katnievel could jump Litterbox Canyon on a Schwinn with knobbys.

Nope.

How far did he get?

Is he ready, in true Katnieval fashion, to give it another try?

How much catnip would it take to get him back into the costume?

-A roll of duct tape using lineman's gloves and a spacesuit later-

Well, that didn't go over so well.

Hmm.. maybe third time's the charm? Hard to get him off the bike at this point. He wants to try again. i can tell.

Funny, we used to call duct tape "Rock n Roll Tape." Then I hung out with some of the test drivers at Michelin, who were also in to racing and motocross, and they called it "Racing Tape."

I bought some today at the local hardware store to fix our vacuum cleaner and saw it was available in black. Fuck Yeah!

I guess I need to start calling it, "Old Middle Aged Fart Trying to Fix a Vacuum Cleaner Tape."
It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

Please tell him that we'd love, love, LOVE, to see him on YouTube!

P.S. Is your tetanus shot up to date? We don't want to lose you too. I had a friend that was bitten in the hand by a cat and damn near lost a finger.

P.P.S. Don't use that spacesuit again. You never know when you might need it. Some alien spacecraft are pretty leaky, so it's best to have your own in case of abduction.
