Back to Medicine

Per some angry reader's requests, we are getting right back to medicine starting now. The gentleman pictured here has a pretty amazing ombasure. Given that I saw this sign on Fremont St. in Las Vegas in front of the 4 Queens Casino while a tribute to Freddy Mercury and Queen was blasted down from the overhead structure, I thought this all fit-in really well in a bass-akwards kinda way(all puns intended). Medicine.

    Who's frakking blog IS this anyway? Over at mine I've got bikes, guns, booze, and politics. Lately, politics have been rather important, don't you think?

  2. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! If we don't talk about it, there are no problems!

    Dissent is no longer the highest form of patriotism.

  4. "Ombasure" That's a word I haven't heard since my trumpet playing days. My pervy band director would always harass me about learning how to double-tongue. I bet the dirty bastard got a thrill every time he insisted that I do it. I will never understand how he got girls to screw him.

  5. Yeah. I was an orcha-dork. Band nerd terminology is not really my bag.

  7. For the record, I am not liking the new comment situation. It took me forever to get it to work so I could read the letters I was supposed to type in to make sure I'm not spamming you. I almost gave up, and probably should have since my last comment was definitely not worth all that work!

  9. Soooooo, is this some kind of Barney Frank (Bawney Fwank) "Close your eyes and suck the stimulus out of a hose" joke?

  10. talk about extending a metaphor! no, this post was solely about the fact that i was in vegas and there's sumdood that is an expert kazooist and is proud of it (but i think it's a vaudeville act and the kazoo is merely one arrow in his quiver).

  11. Well that's a shame. I hear Freddy Mercury did a little solo work with the kazoo back in the early 80's.
