Barons do.
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Also, I need to play loud like only a man can. Should I invest in a tube of that superglue they use on the buttholes of the chickens at the processing plants around here? I think it is called Rec-tite or some such thing.
You would be far better off applying some anti-seize instead of loc-tite to your buttocks. Trust me on this one.

I'll admit to not being current on a lot things and I know I'm going to regret asking this...
Back in my machine-building days, I used to spend some time in a turkey processing plant near here. Don't know what the current method is but they used to kill thirty-eight birds a minute by first stunning them with a jolt of high voltage. I would think their buttholes should be sealed up BEFORE the jolt of electricity!
(how come the spellchecker does not like the word 'buttholes'? How else could it be spelled?)

During the course of the tour they gave us samples of Blatz, Schlitz, Miller Lite, and Pabst. Of course, they are all bottled by Miller these days. These beers are an important part of Milwaukee's history and the locals seem quite proud of them. But.... but my question is... does anyone really drink this crap?
I've read that Paul Ryan does........

I see the spellchecker does not like 'cornhole', either! But... does seem to like 'spellchecker'. Go figure.

But, what is really the coolest thing to know. You can be a successful SAX player by learning "In only 3 Weeks" So... that's how long it
takes to learn to play jazz.

It actually only takes 2 weeks.
The extra week is if you want to learn the standards...

Preservation Hall Jazz Band on Jimmy Fallon July 8 and 9th - some members play with the Roots for the whole show on the 9th.
Their first album of all original music in their 50 year history out on the 9th - bits I heard sounded great!
Nice video of the making of the album shows they used two sousaphones on some pieces - also on the video Ben Jaffe out on the street with a bunch of sousaphonists http://www.preservationhall.com/
Did a brass quintet recital today in Russia for a packed hall. Show went awesome. They wanted pictures with us and autographs. Feeling like a rock star right now.
This morning finds me in Clonakilty in west Cork at the band festival and championships and for the first time in 30 years of playing I am for the first time actually listening to the other bands.
Normally I am at the mercy of other peoples schedules and wants.
This time I am on my own no children or wife looking bored.

Baltimore is about another 40 minutes beyond Clonakilty.
this years festival was the biggest that I have attended 30 bands competing and then performing in the street.
This year the organisers were in Edwardian dress and the Model T owners club turned up with over 25 model t cars and trucks.
Along with Morris dancers and a steam traction engine.

I pick it up on Saturday. The plan is to take some kanstul rotor valves and make it a stunning six valve f tuba. Gonna give it a nice taper through the valves like my B&S symphonie. It'll be awesome.
