I guess those who suffer from "tuba lips" simply need a new mouthpiece. Brass instrument mouthpieces are plated in silver or gold to prevent irritation of the lips, and isn't an issue unless the plating has worn exposing the brass base metal.
Doesn't this kind of defeat the purpose of listening to vinyl records? The 3D printing technology is digital in nature, and the attraction to listening to recordings on vinyl is that the analog sound is warmer and closer to sounding like the original audio.
My dad used to brew his own beer. He first started out using a 10-gallon porcelain crock. He used water, sugar, yeast and canned malt extract. (I have long since forgotten the exact recipe.) The crock was covered with a lid that just sat on top of the crock (not airtight) and was kept in the basement where it was cool (about 60 degrees). He would check the brew every day, and just when it would stop making bubbles, which took about ten days, he would bottle it, adding a bit of sugar to the bottom of the bottle to give the yeast enough to generate more CO2 to give the brew a nice head when it was opened and poured out to drink. I tried brewing my own using this same recipe once about 25 years ago, and it worked well, except when our air conditioner went out several days after bottling and the house got up to 90-plus degrees and several bottles exploded in the pantry! After that my wife made me promise to not brew my own again!
Calvin and Hobbes and Bloom County are my two favorite comic strips of all time.
Too bad the most lasting image of Calvin is the ubiquitous image of him urinating on a Chevy logo or whatever other object of derision someone chooses to use.
Really? No one knew the Pilsbury Doughboy was called Poppin' Fresh? I guess I am getting old if I remember something like this that others consider lost to contemporary pop culture.
I believe that many children that are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD are being labeled as such because of parents that do not teach children to sit down and behave. They take them to the doctor and describe the child's behavior, and the answer is to prescribe medication to modify the behavior. This is not to say that there isn't a real medical condition in some children that may need medication to treat, but I believe that more and more parents and doctors are ready to jump to the conclusion that behavior alone dictates the need for drugs.
Did anyone ever go back to the professor who gave him the "C" grade and ask him what he thought about FedEx? Of course being 40 years ago now he may be gone, but if anyone ever interviewed him it would be interesting to read.
Burt Reynolds had THE classic 70's 'stache. Some other athletes other than Mark Spitz that had upper-lip hair worthy of mention are the 1890's-style waxed mustache of Rollie Fingers (Oakland A's) and Al Hrabosky's Fu-Manchu (St. Louis Cardinals).
And since you have Hitler in your hall of fame lineup, why not add Josef Stalin?
