In a shameless attempt to get to 200 posts, I will now ask and answer some very important questions. It's a relaxing Sunday, so please ignore me.

"But you could have mentioned something about lemon oil."

Do I have to use lemon oil or can I just use unicorn urine like on my other booteek basses?

I was hoping to get 200 in before my 50th birthday but alas no..what number am I at, upper 100th I think.
writing posts is like a hard bass solo, the first few bars look easy but as it progresses it get harder to fulfill.

You also forget beer ... How about getting two birds with one stone: "After I oil my neck, can I put some of the lemon oil in my Tecate?"
