But, you'd still be an alta cocker, anyways, just one who is good at playing bass....Had I spent that time practicing the instrument I love, maybe I wouldn't be an old fart who sucks at bass and realized that pretty late in life....

If living to be an old fart is no good, consider the alternative
I seriously can't believe this turned into a thread with 10 pages. 
Got to love auto-correct!
I'm sure there's a salesman and a salmon somewhere that hate my guts about now...
!Heck, after this, I'm not even gonna go back and correct it...
... yet, you advocate doing the exact opposite of what you personally don't practice, because according to you an item that hasn't been paid for is "fair game" even if someone is checking the item out with the the intention to buy it before you do. One can just yank the the thing out of the other person's hands and go over to cash register!

Have you ever smoked salmon, 'cause I got to know, how did you get it lit?

That language is a bit salty for TB. Or maybe you're just trolling. I smelt a rat...

How did this thread get to be ten pages long? I mean, I know I'm only contributing further, but yeesh...
He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish. In the first forty days a boy had been with him. But after forty days without a fish the boy’s parents had told him that the old man was now definitely and finally salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and the boy had gone at their orders in another boat which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff and harpoon and the sail that was furled around the mast. The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled, it looked like the flag of permanent defeat.
So long story short a man was a total cod. Careful man, it's roughy out there...
I took this photo at my local GC on Black Friday 2013.
The store was blowing out Epi Les Paul Juniors for $89. Sheer mayhem!
I counted three broken limbs in all -- which I think all will agree was small price to pay for the resultant music
(wherever it is to be found -- online, presumably).
All this talk of fish.... oh yeah, its a bass forum.
