But I don't see anything.

Why isn't anyone licking the pavement. hehe

I hate to be a geek, but how did they get so evenly distributed?

AAH!

That's Grolsch beer, right?

Quick, get over there and get the rubber rings that go on the tops of the bottles!

They make great strap locks.

The beer is great, too!

Yes, they supple me with strap locks. I should get an endorsement!

Heartbreaking indeed!



This is indeed true. Unfortunately, it appears in this photo that these are the traditional bottles w/ metal caps and not the cool ones with the attached ceramic stoppers w/ the red rubber washers.

I use Grolsch rubber rings as strap locks on my StingRay5.

Peace.

They make the tops out of plastic now. That is sad as well.

Yeah, I see what you mean in the photo.

You can just see one of my Grolsch strap lock on top of the strap in this picture.


Only problem for Grolsch is that they last for years, I've not changed mine in twenty, I suppose the make up for that market shortfall by putting beer inside so that we buy them.

Their marketing team is right clever.

Indeed. They'd best be getting promoted right up the chain.

Peace.

The Grolsch strap lock is just about the best tip I've gotten from this forum and that's saying a lot.

They come with a complimentary bottle of pretty damn good beer as well.

Somebody gimme a straw!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.........

I occasionally enjoy that tasty bitter brew....
Yes, very heart breaking indeed.
At least it wasn't Killian's...

Do you watch NUMB3RS? They should do an episode on this. In less than an hour they could explain how fast the truck was going, if it was going straight or swerving, and whether the driver fell asleep or if the driver was shot from a treetop 57.35 meters away at an angle of 35.21 degrees.

As far as Grolsch goes, Yum! The grommets need a little hot sauce.

Heck, I would be searching the wreckage for survivors.

Looked like there were pleanty!!!

I like Grolsch beer.

Thanks for the straplock tip. I don't use straplocks, and haven't found a need for them yet, but if I do, I'll be heading straight to the bottle shop!

reminds me of something that happened several years ago.
The police department had to clean out their evidence storage facility. Due to lots of sucessful raids, they had a mess of marijuana to get rid of, like tons of the stuff.
there is a abandoned rock quarry outside of town, so they pile it up and torch it.
unfortunatly, there is a highway nearby
and a wind that pushed the smoke over the highway.
yea, a lot of cars suddenly had "problems" and were parked on the shoulder. I seen a pic and the smoke was very thick and heavy too.

Now THAT'S alcohol abuse.

Nice tip about the straplocks too.

I was looking for my rubber-grommet-straplock photos, but they must be on the other computer... please accept this substitute:

About that that shiny new bass you were expecting to arrive today, the delivery has been delayed.

I highly recommend them. I used to not bother with them either until one day my strap came off my Ibanez just after finishing a song when I had no hands on the bass and it fell on the cement floor. That was a horrible sight and sound that I still have nightmares about.

Luckily my Smith has dunlop embedded straplocks. But even with those I had a close call. The lock peg on the strap has to be inserted into the receiver on the bass, and on one occasion it had not seated all the way in. It came out right in the middle of a song. You've never seen someone scramble to catch something like that in your life. You can move pretty fast when your $4000 bass is falling to the ground. I did manage to catch it without the bass ever contacting anything. Needless to say I'm very thorough about making sure they are fully seated now.

one word:

Duvel is currently hip in Manhattan. People drink it like they would a standard American beer, which leads to problems since Duvel has twice the alcohol content.

Nice brew, though.

Twice the alcohol???

Hmmm...must investigate further. Wonder if the sell it here in Indy?

Ah, Duvel! I've been drinking it for years, but it's a little scarce in some places. Doesn't the name mean Devil in Flemish? It's much better than Grolsch, but alas it doesn't come with those ingenius strap locks. As for that truck wreck? They were all much too young to die.

ahhh, but it dont beat,newcaslt brown ale, sorry i dont have a picture , i drank it

Sorry man, nice as Newkie Brown is, it beats it hands down.
