Oh Larry, where art thou rack, Larry?That just goes to show you there's no substitute for a Larry Rack!

Maybe Larry will take installments on a commission for some of those beauties.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Looks like you could take a straight edge to those legs and only find microscopic misalignments if any at all.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Great thread @Hermitism ! I really haven't met you, but the love that poured out during your exile was quite touching. Glad you're back!
I must say that my mental model of a Hermit has completely changed forever. I used to think they were curmudgeon-like (spell check for @Viking64), odius, hump backed and generally anti-everything!
As I have been corrected and schooled many times during my short tenure here on CP, I again stand corrected and edified!
Hermits now as I understand are maybe a bit brooding, but very thoughtful.
Other Hermitic characteristics (per Google synonym translator):
pensive, reflective, contemplative, musing, meditative, introspective, philosophical, ruminative, absorbed, engrossed, rapt, preoccupied, lost in thought, deep in thought, in a brown study, brooding; formal cogitative, showing consideration for the needs of other people, considerate, caring, attentive, understanding, sympathetic, solicitous, concerned, helpful, obliging, neighborly, unselfish, kind, compassionate, charitable, and provocative.
I want to be a Hermit!

Wow, thanks man! And I'd like to thank all four of those people!Great thread @Hermitism ! I really haven't met you, but the love that poured out during your exile was quite touching. Glad you're back!
I used to be quite the social butterfly until around the time I turned 30 years old. By then, all my friends had gotten married, had kids and become unfun, if that's a word. I was the unmarried friend that the wives didn't want their husbands going out with. I like the ladies. High-five! And now I have a lot of family obligations because my parents are up in age and I have no brothers or sisters to help out. Hence my transformation into a hermit that doesn't get out much.I must say that my mental model of a Hermit has completely changed forever.

And BTW there is hope (cure) for the unfuness! It's called being an empty nester! My kids are all grown, colleges are all paid for, got jobs, kids of their own, living in other states , etc., it's great!

......all of his mates are doing time:
married with three kids up by the ring road
sold their souls straight down the line.
