Did you see Donald Trump be made an honorary Pittsburgh Steeler?

[Dongie]

It's true! In appreciation for the increase of tariffs on steele coming into the country to 50% which will secure U. S. steel manufacturing.

Gee, Biden never got made a honorary Steeler! Or honorary anything except to the CCCP! "Big Guy" Biden they call him in China!! 🤣 T L

[TheSmellOfVictoria]

Tariffs aren't gonna help the economy in the US or create good jobs. Going green and increasing the minimum wage to $25 an hour is the way to go! You conservatives are so stupid 🙄

[Dongie]

I'm referring to the upshift in business the American steel industry will see. Patients are needed, and it seems time to address each item of the economy.

[Avicenna]

Talk about stupid- $25 an hour minimum wage...

[Avicenna]

Leftists hate industries like steelmaking

[Dongie]

Well, they are told to by the democrats in DC. That way, those politicians get those hefty kick-backs from the corrupt countries like China.

[FunkyMonkee]

No, I never pay attention to football. Especially ours. We don't even have cheerleaders!!

[Dongie]

They don't have cheerleaders?

[FunkyMonkee]

Nope!

[Dongie]

I bet you like this drummer! I like the guitarist!!

[Dongie]

This guy has about 30 plus drums around him.

[FunkyMonkee]

He's pretty good but this guy is my fave.
https://youtu.be/mUWxHXBWfCk?si=h2_c5RxmOhg69ADe
I have 14 drums in my acoustic set and 13 in one of my electronic sets. If I combined al 3 sets, I'd have 32.
And then, there's this guy.
https://youtu.be/p4NraBAIEXs?si=kFmG978vvOYvjShH

[Dongie]

Damn, that last guy had over 40 drums!!

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, at least 7 bass drums. Each drum is tuned to 1/12 of the chromatic scale.

[Dongie]

That's weird! You have to be a drummer to fully appreciate this guy.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, I guess so.
Now, he's got one that's all cymbals.
https://youtu.be/v4P4luHdFwA?si=C0j6f0XOw4fq18nN
He used to be Frank Zappa's drummer after he left Missing Persons.

[Dongie]

Okay, but does that make sense to you? I see him doing what anybody can do. I don't get it.

[Dongie]

I mean, if I were to get back there, that's about how it would sound. It's not a song. It sounds kinda like a Japanese tune.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, play it in the context of a song and see how it sounds.

[Dongie]

If I got behind some skins and tore it up, I'd be very surprised. I had a set at 9 and 10. I just banged on them. It was very loud for my parents, so I let'em go for a mini trail 50.

[Dongie]

No, that was the guitar. I wonder what kind it was. My dad tore the drums up on a tear.

[FunkyMonkee]

I got my first real drum when I was in 4th grade. The following Christmas I got a 3-piece set. When I was little, I had one of those toy sets with the paper heads and the tin snare and cymbal.

[Dongie]

That's nice. You looked like that monkey with long arms banging! 😅

[FunkyMonkee]

When? Where? What monkey?

[Dongie]

😅🤣💦

[FunkyMonkee]

I've heard people refer to me as an octopus because I tend to use all 4 limbs at the same time quite a lot, each doing something different.

[Dongie]

So tell me, FM, are you a bad ass drummer?

[FunkyMonkee]

I've had quite a few people tell me I am. Have you heard any of my band's songs?

[FunkyMonkee]

There's better recordings of this but Io can't find them online.

[Dongie]

I'll give you a listen after I grab a bite to eat.
I remember listening to some last year. You were telling me about your vocalist.

[FunkyMonkee]

I'm hungry, to but I got a bit more grass to cut, first.

[Dongie]

Damn, Sam! You're bad ass on those skins!! That first one is good. I like it. Guitar takes me back to the late 70s and early 80s. Is that the black guy singing?

[Dongie]

Yep, I like the first way best. I could have sworn he said Donald Trump in there.

[FunkyMonkee]

Thank you. I try.
Yeah, that's him, here's a live version.
www.youtube.com/watch
Yeah, I think he mentions Trump there twice. Not sure what he says about him, though. It was WAY before he even THOUGHT of being President. I think it was `91 when we wrote that.

[Dongie]

Trump, that's wyld. Not to flatter, but y'all were pretty good. I see how you had recordings. Or records. That was 90 I saw. So you were 32. Kibmnda skinny, hah.

[Dongie]

*kind of

[FunkyMonkee]

Yes, quite skinny. Wish I still was! I need to drop at least another 135 pounds to get back to that.

[jshm2]

They will make any felon a "steeler" these days.

[Dongie]

That doesn't even make sense in any world.

[AngryCarl2]

Good for the steel industry I guess. Shame about the economy...

[Dongie]

He's getting to that. I don't see how some don't understand these things take a little time. Then there is the constant push from the dirty democrats to gum up everything he is trying to get done.

[DrPepper12]

Whoa. A possible saving of 4000 jobs. I'll let the BLS know!!

[Godihateyou]

Go Birds!!! I'll never vote for him again... lol.

[Dongie]

Oooh, Philly fan!
Dallas Cowboys!!☆

[Godihateyou]

Lol. The Dallas Coboys haven't been relevant since 1995

[Dongie]

They've not won a Super Bowl since 95. They're always relevant. Don't forget we have 8 appearances with 5 championships. Also, HOW long did it take them to finally win one? lol

[Godihateyou]

Lol. Cowboys have won 5 playoff games since 1995 and you say you've been relevant. Your a fan boy. The Eagles have won two superbowls in a decade and won 21 playoff games since 1995... total joke team, fan base, &City

[Dongie]

Well the first 30 years of Super Bowls saw the Dallas Cowboys reach over 25% and won 1/6th of them. I forget how many DIVISION titles and forget playoff wins.☆

[Dongie]

I can remember when the worst fan base in the world used to cry every year begging for a Super Bowl. And was so jealous of Dallas that they grew their hatred to reach the heavens!

[Godihateyou]

Most of the people alive when Dallas was good are dead. Your entire team and city are factually irrelevant. The Steelers are borderline relevant but they have a good rebuild infrastructure of them.

[Dongie]

It's been 30 years since the last big season. Most are not dead. And to think I even told some friends and fellow fans that I was happy for the Eagles 1st one. So they could stop whining. I rooted for them a few months ago, too.

[Godihateyou]

Just be real. The cowboys were never America's team, they just won a lot 100 years ago. The Eagles are now America's team. The underdog. The talent and personalities on that team. Just be an Eagles fan. The Cowboys are lost and they dont love you like Philly loves the Eagles

[Dongie]

😅 ok, sure, man! 🤣

[Godihateyou]

We will both be dead and buried before Dallas wins two playoff games in a row. In that time The Eagles will win 3 more championships

[Dongie]

Wanna' bet?

[Dongie]

America's team will be back! If we have to get rid of Jerry Jones to get there!!☆

[Godihateyou]

America's team is Philly now. Nobody will ever care about Dallas again. Ask Americans. Your gonna lose the Thanksgiving day game this year

[Dongie]

🤣💦

[sage2021]

BFD!!

[Dongie]

It is.
