bongo in the shop...

[bass-slinger]

My bongo has been in the shop this week for some soldering (necessary due to my clumsiness, not because of any defect) and a setup job by the friendly neighborhood luthier. Had to do a gig without it, and I don't think I have ever missed a bass this much...get to pick it up tomorrow.

Makes you want to treat her nicer, now that she's gone.

Don't forget to have him calibrate the oscillation overthruster while he's in there.

What... "oscillation overthruster" ?????

I though all bongos had flux capacitors?

Flux capacitors are soo 80's, the overthrusters are cheaper, easier to maintain and environmentally friendly. Plus they look da bomb on stage with UV light.

 

[adouglas]

Yeah. And all a flux capacitor can do is time travel.

Oscillation overthrusters can take you to the 8th dimension.

Didn't you ever see Buckaroo Banzai?

Didn't you ever see Buckaroo Banzai?

Yea, but it must have been at least 25 years ago and there where probably chemicals of some nature preventing my brain from retaining most of it.

goin' way deep!

You guys need to share!

My Bongo has the power to morph from one port to the next, when I am sailing and I arrive at destination, "IT" is there in my cabin ready to be played!

I always joke that there is a nuclear accelerator in there, but that seems kinda prehistoric after reading this. I wonder if they keep a bongo at CERN for the really crazy experiments.

I don't think so, but I've heard there's one in Hangar 18...

And the subspace harmonic dampeners?

And the subspace harmonic dampeners?

I've heard those things almost never blow up, but you have to keep a close eye on 'em nevertheless.

I have been advised -- from sources who do not wish to be named -- that the Bongo's heavy and clear tones are powered by bursts of dark matter carried on beams of pure tachyons. This results in no loss of clarity and a massive tone of almost unmeasurable power. I believe we all recognize this as the "Bongo Factor".

I must now go into hiding to prevent falling into the wrong hands.....

Maybe BP is holding back on us and there was a large Bongo order shipped to Switzerland to power that black hole producing LHC thingy that CERN has.
