I just made really good pizza. Like woah.


The awkward bit? Choose between:

1) I ate it all
2) Thought this was the Streams thread

I can probably knit a lot worse than you can drum. :rolleyes: In fact, I can't knit at all. :)
Lol...all the drummers look away nothing to see here....I am betting that I can bang out a simple beat ...how hard can it be for a simple rhythm one..?

Simple? Not that hard. Consistent? Much harder. (and a consistent count isn't that interesting. the trick is to beat out varying beats with different appendages, some syncopation without losing the main beat.)

Well, I am a drummer, but I'll forego the temptation to flam my fellow CC'ers about it; looks like someone beat me to it anyway. All this diddling only gets people upset. Then they get on a roll, and it becomes a snare to them, and that's a drag. Better to stick with something simple.

My nick is from my favourite Ferrari, the Dino 246 GT/GTS. I tried to post a pic but it is too big.

Oh dear. I'm not a drummer, but a vocalist who does some very minor percussion. Do you think I flamed? :(

No flaming detected, some flamming though (bah-dum dum). I'd love to know how you do percussion in a minor key... and with only vocals to work with! If it's very minor percussion, does it diminish you somehow?

Yes, I'm twice diminished for having to play ANY percussive instrument. (snort)

Not really. I just like to hit and shake things rhythmically. Have I mentioned I take dance and self-defense classes?

I didn't need classes for that. I just naturally step on people's toes. Oh, wait, that's offensive.

I'd say, "Shall we dance" but you might just as soon karatefy me as waltz with me. Faster! Chop chop!

I'd totally waltz with you! (I'm taking ballroom, and I follow quite well, if I do say myself.)

Hmmm, I'd better learn how then! (Checks yellow page app for local classes) ;)

Well that surprises me. Your nick's origin isn't what I thought. Actually, when you first joined I thought your name fit. You had the countenance of a kind of elegant humbleness about you; a polite manner that was affirming and accepting. All that while slaying such dragons of your own at the time. Yet, you stayed nimble kind of. Fluid. Graceful. So, like I said, the name fit. Like a glove. But here's the rain...

At my last job I had to go to Savannah GA to a brand new building where they were having an open house for all the manager suits. I had been involved in setting up the controls for the building systems and they wanted to make sure everything was perfect. I had to wear a tie and everything. I was about 15 minutes away when I got a call. A huge thunderstorm had knocked out power and nothing worked. When I got to the site there was a huge roof leak right above the server room right where all the control modules and routers were. My first thing was to stop the water and cut power and I climbed out on the roof and spread a big tarp, then tried to dry up about a million components, all the while I was being told how close the big wigs were getting.... "they're at the airport and they're about on their way!!". It was back and forth to the roof, to the server room and I was sooo scared of turning the power back on to all the stuff. The rain had slowed to a slow steady sprinkle when I was back on the roof and the pressure to get the lights and HVAC was so immense, I stopped and prayed. The rain's slow sprinkle picked up to a steady wash and I realized my back was now completely soaked and tickling as drops rolled around to my stomach. Drops running off my eyelashes that I had to shake away. When I climbed back down to the server room the leaking had stopped and the equipment stayed dry. One of the managers reset the breakers and I felt like Kevin Bacon in that movie Apollo 13 when I turned on the PC. It lit up, the programming was still in place, the time was fine, and everything fired up like the storm never happened. "By the Grace of God" the manager said and it wasn't 5 minutes later that guests started arriving and except for the wet guy in the server room everything was normal as pie.

"By the Grace of God", said the manager. The free and unmerited favor of God. A grace that dampens at first like rain, then soaks to your bones.

I'm done waxing poetic, btw. As you were....

Here you go, this is for you, Dino. Is this the right one?

Question for the nick thread: If my nick were "Neat" would I be a neatnick? Or how about a nick of "Beat" so I could be a beatnick?

Eh, skip it. I'm going to change my name to "Sput." :D
