We model in G-scale, and our postings or replys are referred to as threads or strings, so therefore we should call it The G string !!!! What do you think.

Hey there Brian, BTW, your location is the great white north, Canada. It seems to me that we all are in the great white north, coast to coast, maybe excluding Vancouver. From whence do you hail from Brian. As for my question, ambiguious as it may seem, I m talking about trains, What are You thinking about!!!! I think it s cute, and Yes, maybe Rene won t accept this one, BUT, it was too hard to pass up. It s all in the way a person interprets the phrase. But watch the ratings go up, YES!!!!!

The G String? Hey, I have one of those...

...on my Violin, that is!!!!

And the violin also has two "F" cuts, for those with narrow (guage) minds!

We are now officially beyond the gutter...down the drain...and out to sea! Watch out Ian, we'll be washing up on a beach near you on the Sunshine Coast!

The floating one sez yes, and the baroness is probably rolling in the aisle over this. She's probably laughing so hard she can't find the keyboard to answer you!

Don't make Rene pull her broom out of the closet, she's had it overhauled and loaded with "smart bombs".

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

I don't know about that idea, marlboro. G-strings barely cover the topic at hand & require quite a bit of cheek as well.

Besides, with some of these information & newbie question strings the answers slowly get lost as new messages get posted & the person asking the original question still hasn't become any the wiser...in fact you could say that " the thong is gone but the malady lingers on!"

While we're on the topic, a lot of the posts here require considerable support & I don't know about you blokes but frankly the G-strings I've seen would leave me with very little visible means of support. I would find myself literally hanging out for the right answers.
While I am not opposed to airing my shortcomings I'm not sure this is the right place, we all have our differences but I would prefer not to air mine here.
On top of which if you changed the name of the forum as suggested the information would have to be very accurate or you could find yourselves having a very close shave with She Who Must Be Obeyed..

I was recently the author of a "Radio Drama" where I used some similar humor...

Here is an excerpt from "“Some Sunday Mourning,” An episode from my Radio Drama (sit com) One Night in Corpus Christi ...

"Mr. Parkinson: “My Friend, you read my mind! Were like one being…one great singular intelligence working together. It’s like we share a brain!

Honey: (passing through to do some chore) “If you ask me, you do!” (laughs)

Douglas: " (annoyed) Honey, why can’t you be more supportive of me in front of the neighbors!”

Honey: "Doug, I’m your wife, not a bra. I don’t get excited whenever I see to boobs standing together.” (laughs turning to applause) (exits)

Douglas: "Ooooo! That woman! Remind me to let you in on my new book project…The "Therapeutic Properties of Divorce!"


If you are curious about it you can catch up on it at the following links...

Episode 1: "The Best Introduction: Bar None"
http://www.ericvonwade.com/community/display.asp?post_id=21782&board=1&board_name=General

Episode 2: "Home is Where the Hurt Is!"
http://www.ericvonwade.com/community/display.asp?post_id=22137&board=1&board_name=General

Episode 3:“Some Sunday Mourning”
http://www.ericvonwade.com/community/display.asp?post_id=22438&board=1&board_name=General

If you all really like them, and it alright with Rene... I could post them here. There may be some language issues, a few choice words, toucht subjects...they are after all, elements of social and political commentary. I thinkI would rather just place a link for those who might be interested!
