No Animated GIFs Post Current Pictures Of You - 2015 Edition

[TickTockMan]

Which one's you?
Were they all true blue Australians?

Of course I am the fat guy. And yes they were actually Australian.

Hope you guys don't mind a girl joining you? This is me last night with my new fox cub

I met an actual fox cub a few years ago, bugger was cute as hell. I'll see your fox and raise you a snake.

Damn, looking down does my jawline no favors. Was trying to prop her head for the camera, she's a year and a half or so.

- Apparently my shirt is inside out. And possibly backwards. Good thing I wasn't aiming to impress.

 

[Kabluey]

Were they saying, "throw another shrimp on the barbie" every other sentence?

That how you tell a true Aussie.

PS. It was nice of you to pose with them for photos

Cobber!
Chur bro.

Looks like a good night for all

It's the first time I'm saying a picture of you, so cute!

There are foxes crossing the road all the time here. One afternoon while coming home I saw a fox cub sitting in the middle of the road, it was very small and that was probably the reason it didn't seem to understand the danger. I wanted to pick it up and carry it home with me but I decided not to stop the car as there were a lot of turns to avoid an accident.

 

[herry1]

All the better to see you with.

I would've just taken a picture of her for the pet threads but she wouldn't come out of her hide. Just sat in a loose coil and looked at me. Go to pick her up, she's fine, but try and pick her up + move her outta the hide and the little shit flexes her coils outward like a three year old pushing against the inside of a container so you can't move her. I had to move a quarter of her at a time to get her out've the hide (iced tea container, only thing she currently fits) and she's a shifty bugger. Also, they use their tail for the same clingy purpose. Albus, Kris's snake, has actually gotten so lazy he uses it as an afterthought. He doesn't bother grippingly you're holding hm, for the most part, and if you don't want his tail to get in the way you have to goose him to get him to grip with it. And it still looks like he'd rather not bother because he's slower'n molasses. Molly's also gotten a bit lazy though, hangs on half assed because she's realized we won't let her fall.

On the other hand, Molly's fearful of large shadows, understandably so, and snakes are also head shy. Trying to prop her chin underneath my thumb and make it seem like her idea so she wouldn't coil back up (not much sense showing a headless pet) and without leaning over her myself. T'was damn near impossible.

After 8 years of shaving my head (well...grew it out for a couple months last year then got tired of it) I've decided to let my hair grow out for about a year, before I go back to shaving it again....lol.... I did not realize it would make me look 10 years younger lol... Or else I would have done it sooner (why it came out sidewards, I have no idea.....just like my profile pic did...lol)

Looking mighty fine, John!

Great photo.

Here it is rotated.

 

[Pianist]

Yes, that's me with an oboe sans reed. I just got it tonight and, being a huge fan of the sound of the instrument, am going to teach myself how to play 'cause I've wanted to for years.

Yes, I know about how difficult it is to learn, and one must needs be careful of one's embouchure and breath column and double tonguing etc. to ensure a decent, in tune, pure sound.

I got it as a loaner from my friend, the director of the Vancouver Rainbow Concert Band and I have to become proficient by Thursday as that's when they rehearse. I figger by Friday I can publicly perform Handel's Oboe Concerto in G minor.

Learning will be a challenge but I'm looking forward to it.

 

[tarallucci]

Awwww... Pianist you are beautiful.

I was playing some kind of trumpet in the local band here when I was younger, but then I wanted to learn the guitar. I remember my lungs and lips aching from exercising...
Now I wish I hadn't sold it and play it on my own because it was a very nice instrument.

 

[Gravelord_Nito]

Went full red.

 

[NotHardUp1]

My goodness. Will you look at the size of that thing. And to think you know the fingerings. My.

Nice pic, Ger. Sorry you're going over to the double reeds, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. I played trombone, and my uncle was full professor of tuba. He told me a brass joke one time. What's the difference between a saxophone and a trampoline? You're supposed to take your shoes off before you jump up and down on a trampoline.

I used to play clarinet in school band but was never fond of it and I don't remember the fingering at all.

Naturally, reeds for the oboe are a very important part of producing a good sound out of the instrument and embouchure is fundamental in pitch depending on the register or even the condition of the reed. I was able to get two decent sounding notes out of the thing the other day, a B and a C and no quacking or anything but goodness, talk about needing to blow hard and having sufficient air column support. That I sing helps but it IS going to be a challenge. Then again, I knew that going in.

Played? Past tense?

I was never a fan of the sound of a sax until I heard the opening of Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty way back in '78. Absolutely fell in love with it. Prior to that, it was stuff like Yakety Sax and that did nothing for me.

 

[NotHardUp1]

More irony. My uncle was a clarinetist before his band director announced one day that he needed more tubas.

I still can't stand sax, although I'm no jazz fan in any regard, despite being a music major. There is a prejudice for jazz in America that comes across as a regional bias, slightly folk and country and other genres among the intelligentsia.

I'd rather suffer the flu than to be forced to listen to sax. I can't hit the tuner button fast enough when it comes on the radio.

On the other hand, I never tire of bassoon, oboe, or English horn.

How about this?



As for Rafferty, my mom hates rock. I played that album for her. She liked it. lol

 

[Pianist]

^ Not crazy about the song as a whole as it doesn't quite resonate with me, but the sax line is nice.

Every bit as hot as ever.
