Within the next two years, the island's entire population of 900-1,500 (known as the "Chagossians") would be forcibly evicted from the island and relocated to Seychelles or Mauritius in order to make way for the construction of Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia. Eventually reimbursed for the eviction, the Chagossians have not been allowed to resettle on the island and the island's current population of over 4,000 consists solely of American and British military personnel.

Not the first time it's happened, we did the same with the people on Bikini Atoll so we could test our A-bombs there.
And then they still got hit with a fuckton of radiation to top it off.

Thats a damn cool printed surface and all, but it looks like a missed opportunity to really get some giger-sculpting going.

While having the entire guitar sculpted into some giger-like monstruosity would be really badass, it would make the guitar really awkward to play, especially seated.
Anyway, I think you'd like this

I realize that, for the most part. Many of these guitars seem more like they're treated as revered possessions, rather than tools and instruments anyway.
Thats damn snazzy though. I love me some parasitic space-penis-ant-women.
the late Lemmy Kilmister's Rickenbacker bass "Rickenbastard" is a brutal piece of art and as dickish as it might sound, i hope no-one plays it again now that the man himself is gone, because they wouldn't be worthy.

neck-through guitars with the center piece colored lighter than the rest generally look appealing to me
Since we are on guitars here's a Gittler

even though it looks awkward and uncomfortable to use, I want to play it just to see what that neck is like to play.
While we're on guitars, here's some I love the look of:

[QUOTE=TAU!;50417724]How the hell do you play a gittler? Do you blow into those holes?[/QUOTE]
apparently, you play it like a normal guitar, it just has most of the guitar stripped away into an extremely barebones thing made out of pipes.

So yesterday was important in Sweden because not only was nit mother's day, but it was also the day when swedes honor our military veterans and thank them for their service.

While Sweden might not have been in charge of huge military operations on foreign soil (see: US/Russia) swedish soldiers has no doubt traveled to many corners of the world, be it for peacekeeping or humanitarian aid.
List of places where Swedish Armed Forces have played either a smaller role or a much bigger, more critical, one:
- Kongo (1961), UN peacekeeping mission.
- Cyprus, UN peacekeeping mission.
- Kosovo, UN peacekeeping mission.
- Bosnia (1995), UN peacekeeping mission.
- Chad, UN peacekeeping mission.
- Afghanistan, ISAF peacekeeping and relief mission.
- Gulf of Aden (Somalia), anti-piracy operations.
- Mali, UN peacekeeping and relief mission.

What I admired about Lemmy is that he treated his instruments like instruments. They got fucked up and repaired, time and time again. I watched the livestream of his funeral. It was truly amazing to watch. At the end, the cranked up his amp, turned up the Rickenbacker, let it feed back, and the final words said were "Lemmy has left the building".
This was the display on the altar.
[IMG]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/01/10/05/3bWLCvS3pZb5eb4fce05c55f83ef-3392176-Lemmy_s_funeral_took_place_at_the_Forest_Lawn_Memorial_Cemetery_-a-1_1452404828854.jpg[/IMG]
The hat is part of the urn, and there's a bottle of Jack and his boots on the table with him.
Lemmy lived life and partied harder than almost anyone, and lived to tell the tale. A truly unique character in music.
I agree that no one should play his basses again. Much like Dimebag Darrell's original Dean From Hell, which is now a display only piece featured in Dean displays.
EDIT:
I just realised that it's not Jack on the table there, it's actually Motorhead's own whiskey.

It might be cgi, but there is some historical evidence that gators could get that big.
like this fuck, shot by hunters in Australia year 1957.

Also if that's not cgi, those people should be manning their golf carts and booking it, because while they don't look particularly spry, gators can sprint pretty damn fast if they want to catch you.
