Loy Toy visits Denver Colorado.

[Loy Toy]

LoyToy what have you done? You're gonna have Jimmy25 return to this forum and start asking where to have his Fender refretted and where to have his picks polished.

I was thinking about this clown when I was in the shop and I reckon he would of ejaculated all over the floor when he saw the selection of guitar amps, guitars, drums and other instruments.
I know I left a puddle on the floor.

^ I'm pretty sure that I would have too. Except mine would be in the Gibson section.

They had a great selection of Fender, Gibson and Ibanez guitars including some vintage classics that were protected within glass cases.

The owner of the shop told me all his Fender gutars are either made in America (the most expensive), Japan (mid range price) or Mexico (the cheapest) with the quality of all guitars being great wherever they are made.

To be fair I didn't ask him where the Gibson guitars were made.

Where are Gibson guitars manufactured these days?

[palexxxx]

Gibsons were originally made in Kalamazoo, Michigan but now they're made in Nashville, Tennessee.

Did you try the Rocky Mountain oysters?

[Loy Toy]

Did you try the Rocky Mountain oysters?

No mate but during the luncheons and dinners we had others had the fish (trout) and they said it was excellent.

Are the oysters good? and if so I'll try them during my next visit.

[Thetyim]

Are the oysters good?

Good?, Rocky Mountain Oysters are the best in the world.

[Kwang]

^ ^I don't think you really wanna do that mate

Ingredients:

2 pounds calf testicles*
2 cups beer
2 eggs, beaten
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup yellow cornmea1
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Vegetable oil**
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce

[Loy Toy]

^ Yep I'll pass on those mate.

Sounds worse than eating Haggis.

Just the thought of peeling a testicle makes my eyes water.


Rocky Mountain oysters are bull calf testicles used as food.

They are often deep-fried after being peeled, coated in flour, pepper and salt, and sometimes pounded flat. This delicacy is most often served as an appetizer[1] with a cocktail sauce dip.

[Loy Toy]

With all due respects, and from what I could see when doing the rounds of the Denver Restaurants, there were plenty of nice beautiful young ladies with the only drawback being that you end up getting twice the girl in volume.

[Loy Toy]

'you do get around dont you' he he!!!!! great thread as usual, keep up the good work mate

Thanks mate and good to see you back on the forum.

When are you next in the land of Smiles?

[SEA Traveler]

So what were the golf courses like in the area? Any spotted in your driving around?

I recall the golf course on the Yongsan US Army base in Korea, before it was moved out to Sungnam when in the winter of 1974/'75 there was snow on the course and there were golfers out on the course with colored ball and the caddies carried brooms to sweep a path clear of the snow on the greens. Somewhere in my archives of film photos I have a picture of that.

We drove past many nice looking golf courses in and around Denver with the most famous being Cherry Hills which has hosted many major championships.

No time to go out and hit a few balls though.

Rocky Mountain oysters are bull calf testicles used as food.

Best to get them fresh off the animals during branding time...I was at a 'mini-branding' where I was warned they would try to 'shock' me into trying them...

I had this cowpoke take me aside and flop some straight on the BBQ where they had the irons cooking...he pressed them down flat with his pocketknife like you'd flatten a home-made burger to cook 'em through...

They tasted fine...'rich,' like an oyster...fancy that...

These people out on the lone prairie, in Big Sky country, are the finest in the world for hospitality...

And if you wanna get the true taste of Prairie Oysters, this is the best way...

It's 'a trip' in itself to see the kids carrying the pails of bloodied balls around...

One of the reasons KD Lang left the sweet fields of Alberta...she hated that lifestyle...

As long as they are in my FDA approved plastic buckets mate.

To be honest I have gastric re flux happening when I respond to Baitong's post.
