Yes, I can. Which is all the proof you need that the name isn't spelled Denny.

assuming that "they" still do that, since it has been over a decade since I last entered the doors of one of that chain

The thing I never liked about most Denny's was waiting forever to get your food, even though there were very few customers in the store. I can handle the food, it's the incompetence I can't stand. I'd rather go to a Kettle (Mmmmm... buffet!) or an IHOP. I don't eat breakfast out much, unless I'm on the road. When I do eat out for breakfast, it's usually at a local taco stand.

Doc
I remember many a late night at the Kettle. Those all-nighters were more tolerable with the 24 hour breakfast buffet. :wink: :shock:

Ah well, honesty time. I am NOT Mary Ann. Mary Ann is my wife, and I pose her with my tubas and take pictures to fool everyone. I am the tuba player, and I'm the usual 6'4" and heffalump body to go with it.
It's been fun being a petite lil thang all this time, stirring the pot with all my commentary. I can't show up at a tuba conference 'cause then you'd all know the truth. Of course I could bring Mary Ann with me, but I'd have to teach her to play tuba really, really fast first.

My first regular playing gig was at a theme park in Gurnee Illinois called Six Flags Great America. I was hired to play a sousaphone in a dixieland sextet that played around the park called the Ragtime Rascals. There was more than one Jim at the area where we took our breaks so people just started calling me RascalJim.

Sometimes I wonder if people think it's an unprofessional sounding email address... but no one's told me to change it yet.

Well, back in the days when blasting the loudest was still cool, I found this nice little book where instruments of the orchestra were explained, and they had all these drawings that showed the instrument with reation to the text. So when it comes to the tuba, it describes how you can hear Fafner waking up and move with grunts and snorts in "Siegfried". The illustration shows a dragon emerging from a tuba.
So "Tubeast" is a well fitting misspelling of "Tubist"
Have a nice weekend y´all

My user name is pretty boring.... its what my school assigned to me to identify me. Its the first four letters of my last name plus some seemingly arbitrary number.

My name comes from hillbillies slurring words together. In band, when our director says "two before", everyone laughs when I say "tuba-four?". It kinda stuck. Also a reference to the incorrectly sized or named board. 2x4"

You guys can call me Josh. My Halo name is Jiraphe, if you like that better.

Halo name? I don't have one of those. The word halo has never been used in context with my real name.

As an aside, it's not incorrectly named. It's rough cut to 2x4 then fiinished.
