need to be an educated consumer for a 12-string

Ask Coastie. He's the only guy I know who would ballalaika.

And anybody who doesn't have the Franz P90s I need shouldn't be using the the term All Parts. Just kiddin', Don. P90s are No Parts cuz nobody's got 'em. And speaking of No Parts, Coastie....

You shouldn't knock the Laikas, especially the women. They can do things with small kitchen utensils that you wouldn't believe possible !
I fondly remember my old Mixed Doubles Busk partner Schmells Laika. That girl would busk until she dropped, which I believe, she eventually did.
RIP Schmells.

I did read somewhere that Madonna was inspired by her to write Laika Virgin, but that may or may not be so.
She was well de-virginised when Coastie got through with her !

Coastie,

How is it that the Newsy Landers got the Brit wit, but the Yanks and the Ozzie Landers didn't?

And where the heck is old Zealand? They must have had zeal for comedy. I don't know of any Zealand in Limey Land. Zealand sounds like a Dutch word, or Denmark's Sjaelland. But then maybe it's an Old Anglo Saxon word from the Holland or Denmark area that was taken to Angle Land. Either way, I should shut up play my my guitar.

Above, I found out that the new land of zeal is a indeed a Dutch word 'cuz your fair land was uncov..., er, discovered by a Dutchman.

Yup, Hans's mob were here first ! And the Frogolians were sniffing around too.
I've often wondered that, since there's a Kathmandu, where's Kathmandont ?

 

[West R Lee]

Or Dogmandu, or Katwomandu?

I wonder if we've helped this fine gent in his search for information on an F212? :lol:

Are we off thread yet?

West

 

[coastie99]

Gilligan, you still out there mate ?

 

[West R Lee]

Probably feels like he has done about as much good here as if he were stranded on a desert island. Might not have been so bad with Mary Ann and Ginger though.

[coastie99]

I thought the professor was cute.

 

[West R Lee]

Sort of a fuddy duddy though..........no sense of humor. Let's see, there were the Howell's and what was the Captain's name? Or did they just always refer to him as Captain?

[West R Lee]

Boy, you've really had me reaching back here Coastman. Last night the cartoons and tonight, Gilligan. Good mental exersize. Lord knows I need it!

[coastie99]

Was the guy who played Mr. Howell, Mr Magoo's voice ?
I remember him having some other claim to celebrity.
Can't help with the Captain's name, sorry.

 

[West R Lee]

Yes, had to have been Mr. Magoo. Don't know the man's name, but that was definately Magoo.

Hey there—I’m still checking in for some more ‘useful’ info. You miss a Saturday night at the forum and you end up having to teach some (maybe too young to know) folks about a great 1960’s classic, and I’m not talking about a special order D-55. Yes, the voice of Mr. Magoo is indeed that of Thuston Howell III; and the Captain, who’s name in the show was Jonas Grumby, was always referred to as the Skipper.

Keep me posted on any sightings of an F212XL, Mary Ann's navel, or my long lost turtle.

 

[West R Lee]

Well you see there, at least Coastie and I were educated about something. I still say you learn something everyday here at LTG, it may not have much to do with guitars though.

BTW Gilligan, seems like I've just seen a couple of recent listings for F212XLs on Ebay.

Have a good day and good luck.

West

 

[coastie99]

HA ! Now I remember - Jim Baccus (spelling ?) was Mr Magoo's voice.

 

[dreadnut]

and now, for you who like to have fun at church, did you know "Amazing Grace" fits perfectly with the tune of the "Gilligan's Island Theme"

 

[coastie99]

Gilligan, there are currently 5 F212XL's on gbase. Go here..........
