Give him props for ingenuity. Of course baggage searches on instruments may go up.

Hi.

Not to be a spoil-sport or anything, but the "news" is from winter 2007 IIRC.

Regards
Sam

Ok, and ???? Was there another thread on this, you know, 2 years ago, already? If so, my apologies.

On second thought, here's my story:

There's this girl I really dig, but I'm a freshman, and she is a junior. I see her everyday as these grades combine lunches, but I haven't gotten up the nerve to talk to her because she sits at the "in" table and I fear rejection. I was thinking about dedicating my science fair "exploding volcano" project to her, both as it's awesome, but that it also serves as a metaphor for my ever growing feelings for her....

On third thought, ok, nevermind. Old news, I get it. I thought it was funny. Thanks for making me feel awesome inside.

Hi.

This is just internet, no need to get upset. I was only making an observation.

IIRC this is the third thread about the subject, but there may have been more .

Man up and show Your erupting volcano project to this girl you speak of. Perhaps in private .

We all need to feel awesome inside every once and a while, don't feel bad about it.

Regards
Sam

Hahaha, thanks man, I was clearly kidding, not upset over here. v:O)

Also, I'm 38, Married with two kids. ( I was just riffing on all the "girl problem" thread prevalent in OT lately...)

I now feel warm and fuzzy.

I wonder what the tonal properties of cocaine are compared to wood?

It really accentuates the highs, but I hear the lows suck.

You're assuming that said guitar actually makes it to practice or a gig.

The guy was an idiot. Everyone knows that you can't fly with a guitar and not have it get broken or stolen.

THANK GOD I'm not the only person that thought that!

I'm now genuinely curious as to what a cocaine bass would sound like

Which one? I think there's 132 of them.

Anyone find it funny that Clapton sang about Cocaine, while playing a Black Strat?

Depends on how much of the guitar is up your nose.
