Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Yeah, but you bought Donner strings and electric strings for an acoustic!!! (I'm not OCD, but that kinda makes my spine tingle!)

I just learned something new.

"Put a sock in it!" (Telling you to shut up or quiet down) comes from gramophone times. They produced louder records in the 50s and 60s (they were still in use until the early 60s and the 'electric' recorded ones actually sound good) and those weren't amplified by electricity, so they had no sound control. You'd stick a sock in the horn it used, as a way of lowering the volume.

(I'm watching Techmoan right now.)

There's some neat histories to some of the phrases we use. We get a bunch of 'em from falconry, oddly enough, along with a bunch of words.

Fed up. Wrapped around your finger. Hoodwinked. Chaperone. Under your thumb.

The list goes on.

I do not know the origin of any of those phrases, though I am familiar with them all
