So...if you used a bigger drawer...and two necks to it...would that make it a Duo Oud

Ha!
He also has a real Oud sitting on the couch behind him. If he put the homebuilt one next to it, he'd have "The Oud Couple". ;D
(insert chorus of groans here . . .)

Thanks, doud!
So, this all begs the obvious question of which types of woud drawers are the best tonewoud.
Shoud I stick with my own drawers, or shoud I try to get into my wife's drawers?

P.S. dang, my innuendo is not exempt ... I thought I wrote loud "AND" lascivious. Turns out I wrote "OR" ...
... it may not be loud, but it's lascivious!

Well, I'm glad to be back in the fine graces of the more eroudite members here.
And don't worry about committing the same cyn...it's barely oudible to the naked ear.
I do have to wonder how long this plenitoud of clever banter can be continoud?

According to the Dr Who section of Wikipedia, the 'Oud', or more correctly spelt 'Ood', are a race of squid faced aliens:
Ood
Type Squid-faced humanoids
Affiliated with Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire
Home planet Ood Sphere: Horsehead Nebula
First appearance "The Impossible Planet"
The Ood are a humanoid species with coleoid tentacles on the lower portions of their faces. In the distant future (circa 42nd century), the Ood are a slave race to humanity, performing menial tasks, and it is claimed that every human has an Ood servant. According to human characters in their first appearance, the Ood offer themselves for servitude willingly, having no goals of their own except to be given orders and to serve. It is also claimed that they cannot look after themselves, and if they do not receive orders, they pine away and die. However, mention is made of a group called the "Friends of the Ood" who are apparently lobbying for Ood freedom.

Happy Trails Cynical One You are so right d oud! - its a fine day outside, and Im spending my weekend putting resistors to pad the inputs of that old mixer we discussed recently. BTW, I got it going with the band last week, and it worked great with 6 mics, keys and a direct-in, but just about everything had to be set for minimum gain to avoid channel clipping. I guess 1980 when it was built was a quieter gentler time (I dont remember it that way though) John |
