I'll stick with a knife thanks.<br /><br />Sousaphone, tuba, euphonium, french horn = not sexy instruments. In fact the only sexy instruments known are the Saxophone, guitar (played loud), and maybe the bass guitar. Everything esle just scares the ladies away.Bondiboy66https://www.blogger.com/profile/03526870939619033169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485469691062620401.post-90466474796795955572013-08-08T18:03:10.388-07:002013-08-08T18:03:10.388-07:00Mandolines are all right.

I can tell you from bitter experience that the result is not as romantic or exciting as first anticipated. Chicks do NOT dig sousaphones. Sousaphones do NOT put them "in the mood." Don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise. I fantasize about finding John Philip Sousa, punching him square in the nose, and demanding my money back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13295997500719366814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485469691062620401.post-76649689326455212262013-08-08T16:08:33.445-07:002013-08-08T16:08:33.445-07:00I believe then metaphoric nature of freight trains...I believe then metaphoric nature of freight trains is related not as much to the speed but to the inevitability of them crushing all before them with their ponderous momentum. <br /><br />Mandolines seem like a tool for the Masterchef generation who want to make a specific side dish i.e: Shoe string fries, but can not invest the time or focus to learn the skill to cut such fries using more common kitchen implements. There is nothing wrong with using such a tool, but it would seem to me to be and example of 'baroque' thinking (an adjective you introduced me to in regards to the design of the American Shuttlecraft)about how to perform a task. Develop a single use tool, with limited utility and fiddly in use and design rather than something to hold the potato or position the knife and with practice learn to do it without any other tool.

Good luck on the renovations and on snot-season. I'm so glad I can get by with nettle infusions to handle my allergies.
