michael saulnier Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Hello everyone. My name is William Chen. I live in Taiwan, and have been assigned the future posting activity for the formum member named "guitplayer". It seems "the big boss" said it was no longer cost effective for him to post here himself... so, for cost savings, they've selected me for the job. I don't know anything about him, his music, or interests, and I'm not a musician... but I am a fast learner and hope to be able to contribute. Also, it gives me an opportunity to practice my English. I've been reading the posts here this morning, and I do have many questions. For example, what is a "Wewus"? Or, what do you think about Chinese hip-hop? I look forward to many communicating with you all. Your new friend. William Chen, now known as guitplayer I'm still "guitplayer"!

It is a word it's only used in Senegal, you know, it sounds like french, too, and "Wewus" means "Thick Neck". Easy, right? Next question?

Super 8 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Originally posted by guitplayer: Thank you for the kind and generous advice. I must learn about this jazz. Will it hurt my ears?I recommend the book; "How to Learn About Jazz Without Really Trying", by Mr Jazz Guitar Nice Guy. I especially recommend the chapters: Chapter 2: "How to Drop Names Like a Pro" Chapter 4: "The Gibson L5...What the Hell is it, and How Can I Talk it Up?" Chapter 5: "Belittling Others to Make You Appear Snooty" and finally, "Appendix A: Recommended Band-in-a-Box Preset Jazz Styles (Subtitled: Who needs a band?)

Dan South Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I hear that they're outsourcing Nigerian scammers, now. Nigerian internet service is getting expensive with all of that outsourcing, so scammers are moving their operations to Chad, Uganda, and Eritrea where the costs are lower. It is believed that within a few years, chimpanzees and mountain gorillas will be able to do most of the manual labor. This will result in even greater costs savings. Laid-off Nigerian scammers have taken to the streets of the capital in protest. Several people were injured today as police fired rubber chickens into the crowd. The Black Knight always triumphs!
