Had to share this one. I think I’ll make it my desktop.

Don't be so modest... They were all after the bass player and we know it. ;)

This happened a few hours ago. Ever since Facebook came around I got in touch with a lot of former classmates and for most of them it's a cordial “How are you, what have you been doing?” kind of thing.

One of them is a woman who was a classmate during my final year in high school. She and I weren't all that close during that time seeing our age gap, she's six years younger than I am but graduated early thanks to her grades, so she's a smart cookie.

We started interacting more because of her almost being a neighbor of the drummer of the band "Rote Sau” I was in at the time. She'd bring along her young son when we had rehearsals, and everybody in the band really liked hanging with her.

After the band folded our interactions slowed down but out of the blue she said “I've arranged a babysitter, let's go paint the town red!” And I went “Sure.” drove over there, picked her up and went to my favorite watering hole.

But as soon as we got there, her demeanour started to change, she went from all smiling and joking into suspicious on why I took her there and what those people in the bar were about. And then she ordered her first drink.

The hours that followed are a bit hazy, but I decided to fade into the background, leave her alone while she drank pint after pint after pint, growing increasingly more vocal in the process. She then started a rant that all men could think of was to (and I'm using a Safe for work term) “dance horizontally” and gave me some evil glares.

But things truly went bad when a young lesbian couple started kissing, and she dove in between them. Ranting that with their open display of affection, they weren't helping her case on what she had been ranting about all that time. One of the women walked up to me and said, “Please take that evil woman away, she ruins it for everybody!”

I apologized for having brought her along in the first place, I was feeling so ashamed. Luckily, she knows me, knows who I am, knows that I was sincere, she went “No harm done Walter, you only wanted to give her a good time.” The Bartender agreed, this wasn't my fault.

So I went to the shouting and ranting Karen that was my former classmate and said “Okay Diana, that's enough, let's just go home okay?” At which she got fire in her eyes and started wailing on me,”NO, YOU GO HOME YOU (Expletive) I'MMA STAY HERE AND HAVE FUN!”

At that moment the bartender called out “The final call.” and she roared; “THE FINAL CALL FOR WHO?!” I once again tried to reason with her, “Come on, let's just go.” But she once again began shouting obscenities at me and the other nodding at me in sympathy at which I said to the others “Somebody, please make sure she gets home safely okay?”

She went “Yeah, you'd better leave, I never want to see your sorry butt again, you (Expletive)”

I never had to deal with a Karen directly, and I hope I won't have to for a long while to come. I blocked her on Facebook pretty much straight away.

You can't deal with people like that.

You handled that with class.

1. Some/most people need to grow up.
2. Some/most people should not drink.
3. Some should understand unless asked--no body cares what you think.
3. Some should avoid public places.
4. Some people need more or less medicine

This list could go on.... But it's my opinion and no one in their right mind cares.

We all pretty much care enough to exchange them here. We are, after all, bass players. And Thunderbird players to boot, so there's that.

Wait... What were you talking about?...

No kidding about the drinking part. I went to a show with my wife last night. We met a couple of friends before the show to catch up. My wife and I had one drink apiece at the place we met up. Our friends turned out to be hammered already when they arrived. They seemed fine at first, but then got steadily wobblier. Not much they said made any sense, and she looked like she was probably trashed while putting on makeup. Nothing bad happened, but I wonder how much they actually remember this morning. Fortunately, we were in a different part of the venue for the show, so whatever ugly aftermath might have been wasn't our issue to deal with.

Those are fantastic. My first 'Bird was one of those. The neck will likely be much bigger than a Gibson or later Epiphone. If you don't mind a big neck, jump all over that one. You will want to move the upper strap button to the heel of the neck for balance. Korean made Thunderbirds are typically very well made and sound great with the right strings.

There are a few cracks in the headstock and body, didn't you saw? Or was I seeing things?
