Hooked On Bass!

Sign in to disble this ad
I found this TV show while browsing the cable stations on TV... got my Jazz bass ready, my P bass on standby, my Ampeg, GK, Genz Benz, and SWR gear set on "stun", and waited for the show to start... only to be disappointed by a bunch of guys sitting around on a boat doing nothing at all (well, I guess they were fishing or something), and they weren't even TALKING about bass guitars!

Talk about false advertisement. I might not even watch the next episode!

LOL

I like the fact that you didn't get the "hooked" pun

I love that show! Only thing better than sitting in a boat doing nothing all day is watching other people in a boat doing nothing! You don't even have to bother with all the work of putting the boat in the water and getting the boat out of the water and pretending to bait the hook! Life just keeps getting better and better!

The only thing I like better than that show, is putting exclamation marks at the ends of sentences! So thank you for allowing me to do both!
