| Sunday Jan 23, 2005 | When the layman thinks of electric guitars, he usually remembers the Fender Stratocaster or perhaps the Gibson Les Paul. Why doesn't anyone recall the Solo II, or this Soviet double-neck bass/electric, or this hot-rodded Ural electric, or the Czech Jolana Diamant electric bass, or whatever the hell this handmade thingmabob is? Well, usually because they were hideous pieces of crap that went out of tune quickly, sounded awful, and fell apart under light use. Some, however, were keepers, like the Czech Futurama. Largely, they were just plain cheap and cheesy guitars , which naturally makes them appealing to collectors, like Lord Bizarre. By the way, some luthiers consider it a challenge to turn a weird and cheesy guitar into a good one. to Music by fatherdan |

| Now that Halloween is past,
I'd like to share some thoughts about the disparity between male and female
Halloween costumes. The
Onion
jests about it, but it's worth considering why, for men, you can be a cop,
vampire, devil,
pirate, doctor,
wizard, football player,
or priest,
while for women the choices boil down to, um, all of the above, but
with the adjective "sexy" attached. Thus, we have sexy
cop, sexy
vampire, sexy
devil, sexy pirate,
sexy nurse (or surgeon),
sexy
witch, sexy cheerleader,
or sexy
nun (silly me, I forgot the
ever-popular
sexy schoolgirl).
Sexist, sure, but on an evening when most adults generally feel like total idiots,
the choice between being looking like a clown
or a sexy clown is an
easy one (however,
the potential catwoman who employs this costume might want to think twice).
Curiously, the seeming obliviousness of the costume wearer to the fetish
roots of
many such costumes
are staggering.Weirdly,
the sexy costume concept is expanding past typical fetish imagery. Women no
longer hold the patent on sexual attraction to the occupations of firefighter
and UPS delivery
guy, for instance—otherwise,
what are we to make of
these sexy
mutations? Finally,
not to raise hackles, but costumes
usually considered
"sexy"
for adults are
appearing at more
questionable levels. to Sex by fatherdan |

and could rightfully be considered the world'searliest electronic musical instrument. Its size, frequent breakdowns, and
unpopularity with musicians, however, bankrupted Thadeus, causing him to die
a lonely and bitter man. Nothing remains of the Telharmonium
today but a few photographs and testimonials by Mark
Twain
and others. Especially sad is the fact that no recordings were ever made of
the Telharmonium.
