Groundskeeper Willie: Eek! I mean, ach! Who are you?
Homer: Uh, we're new foreign exchange students from... uh, um... Scotland!
Groundskeeper Willie: Saints be praised, I'm from Scotland! Where do you hail from?
Homer: Um... North... Kilt Town.
Groundskeeper Willie: No foolin'! I'm from North Kilt Town! Do you know Angus McCloud?
Homer: Wait a minute! There's no Angus McCloud in North Kilt Town! Why, you're not from Scotland at all!

It's a few hours later, and I'm still feeling pretty sick. I've got nobody but myself to blame for this one. I think this will probably end my sadly short-lived McDonald's fatty melt experiment, though I do still think that an Angus Burger would have worked much better.

Aw, who am I kidding. Give it a couple of days for the pain to wear off, and I'm sure I'll want to try it again.

Holy shit! Angus Young is so... er... young.

He's about the same size as Angus Young too.

McDonald's paid me to advertise their new Angus Burgers, so I just grabbed something off the Net.

OMG I nearly split my sides at that "Jesus on a dog's butt" picture. I hadn't seen that before. I had to check it out to see if it had been photoshopped.

From www.metro.co.uk

The dog's name is Angus MacDougall, and he is a very cute three-year-old terrier mix. The image of Jesus can be clearly seen in the fur surrounding his anus.

Many artists use it, that how they get some guitars to talk, the talk box. You can note a talk box by the tube that is next to the mic.

The talk box can be used with an effects pedal (Generic Volume Pedal, and even a wah pedal), or your sound guy can do it for you depending on how much rampaging you do on stage...Think Angus Young, doesnt have time to stomp on a pedal!


EDIT: Remiss I am!

"Van Halen used a Heil Talk Box on the single "Can't Get This Stuff No More", from their short-lived 1996 reunion with original lead singer David Lee Roth and the recording of their Best of Volume I greatest hits album. According to guitarist Edward Van Halen, the tube from the talk box used in the first part of the solo didn't work properly unless stuck into the back of his throat, triggering his gag reflex. As a result, Van Halen's guitar tech Matt Bruck had to use the tube while Van Halen played the solo." Talk Box

Have you seen Colonel Angus?

Let's ask Wikipedia.

"MacGyver's first name remained a mystery until the final season; whenever he's asked about it, he says he dislikes his first name and changes the subject. Consequently, most of his friends and colleagues call him by his last name or simply "Mac." The script for the series pilot gave MacGyver's first name as "Stace", but this information, while mentioned in promotional material, did not appear in the finished episode. His first name is finally canonically revealed in "Good Knight, MacGyver", in which he learns of a 7th century Scottish ancestor, Angus M'Iver, and admits that they share their first name; and repeated in the series finale, which introduces MacGyver's son, whose middle name is Angus. It is also revealed on the packaging of the MacGyver DVD season sets."

Why is his name Angus???

heh - nice avatar. Angus FTW

I like the dude rocking the Angus Young look.

True, cows of different breeds can be more aggressive then others. Most all of the cows I've driven have been Angus, which are known for their mild temperament.

I think you bring up a good point about environment. I lived on an Indian Reservation for a while and dog there ran wild, no owners and were often abused and riddled with disease. They acted different then more domesticated dogs in that if you turned your back they would charge you. Usually turning to them and pretending to bend down would cause them to scatter and regroup at a safe distance. For those dogs it was a harsh upbringing and survival was much more paramount then it would be for another dog.

In reply to this comment by gorgonheap:
Just wanted to clarify some things you seem to be ignorant about. If a cow had horns it would not "happily impale" anyone. Cows are herbivores and have a lot of natural predators. It's in their nature not to seek confrontation with other animals. Most cows need to be dehorned anyway because the horns grow into the skull and eventually kill the animal prematurely.

Chances are that your friend who was once charged was doing something to the calf that seemed threating to the mother. After calves are weened mothers become significantly less protective. In fact unless a cow has a young calf I've never seen one become aggressive or defend itself from an attack. I say this because I've worked on a dairy farm since I was 5 and been a ranch hand for close to 5 years.

The cow in question was grazing with her calf in the jungle in Mexico. Folks let the cows forage in the jungle, they leave the horns on them, and according to the locals, the cows do kill things that mess with them. I was walking down a trail, saw the cows, didn't think much of it, until I heard this snorting/stomping, turned around, charging cow, horns pointed at me. I half hid behind a small tree on the path edge, stuck out my hand, made some WHOA! type sounds, and the cow stopped. She would scrape and snort in an obviously threatening manner when I tried to keep walking down the path where I realized her calf was. I ended up turning around and going the other way.

I submit to you that cows raised in a more hostile environment may be more prone to aggression then you are likely to see on a farm. I'm not saying she was a genius, I'm just saying she was not to be trifled with. This event is on the short version of my "If I hadn't noticed I'd be dead" list.

Seriously? Jimi has no soul? are you retarded?

I think Bill Hicks said it best

MINK, jonny, nazdorvia, deathcow, all hit it-to musicians, this guy lacks the quality that developing a sound of one's own produces, but plays the manic, wreckless noodling card off, quite well....like everyone fawning over a guy like buckethead, or Stanley Jordan who can make dreamy sounds, and has an initial presence appeal, but the technical grace can only carry you so far.

Cobain? His tortured, fast-burning flame of soul, wash a white-washed cry for help, and for me, that over-shadows any potential for greatness of merit....just look at the ilk that treat Kurt like a god-buncha manic-depression candidates, coffee addicted and screaming for help in their own way, 20-somethings, with a fried internal navigation system....

another one really gets me pissed-Dave Matthews and his College Cult Crooning, ....that man's shit, runs together like a Jackson Pollock mural-and the kids who worship him wouldn't know good music if it collided with their flavor-of-the-week, world views.....

Doc Watson, Django Reinhardt, Merle Travis-
Jeff Beck, Zappa, Ronnie Montrose, yes, the Winter Bros., hell....Angus Young....whaddya know, most of these guys are either still alive, or lived long lives with smiles on their faces...not needles in their arms, or booze in their livvers.....
