Can't just say there was a killer deal at a GC and not tell us what it was.

Ok ok u guys are relentless haha. It's NOT a crappy legend bolt on, it is infact an older ns4crdm, the pre Euro bass. If I'm correct, solid maple body, neck thru, solid brass bridge, Schaller tuners and real flame top. $650 total.

Excellent price on that bird. I paid about $1000 for mine about two years ago and haven't seen one for that price since. Someone should snap this up quick!

My Biology teacher in Grade 11 had this poster in his classroom prominently displayed.

My memory of the person depicted looks far worse than re-visiting this poster more than 3 decades later.

Alas, the tobacco companies heavily target kids, particularly young females.
When I was in grade 5 or 6 the "cool" kids would smoke in the middle of the field next to the school. Occasionally I smoked with them, but one day decided not to and kept heading for school; a regular from the group came running up to invite me over to the huddle. I declined, said I didn't feel like smoking that day. The kid insisted I come over and just hang and talk — so I did. I was accepted even though I was neither cool, nor smoked.
Haven't smoked since.


My parents were heavy smokers. they quit a few times, started up again. My Dad's been cig-free for quite a few years now, but... My mom is down to a few a day.

Heavy smokers:
Grandfather died of emphysema,
lost my FIL to lung cancer,
Dad was recently diagnosed with lung cancer (though he quit, he was up to 2-packs/day at one point), the chemo & radiation seem to be working.



To fellow TBers wishing to quit smoking, I wish you ultimate success.

edit; oh crap, you meant the Bird.
wasn't paying attention as always, thought you meant givin up the smokes.
Can't swing one just yet, but she sure is lovely.

I'm 279 miles from Spokanistan, probably closest.

I am about 150 miles from SpoKompton, but I can't be trusted and the problem is already solved.

That is really tempting. Gold is one of the 7 best colours of T Birds.

Edit: For the Canadians, it appears that GC will ship it to Canada, but you will be on the hook for about $300 in duty by my rekoning.

DO IT, @JJR58 !!!

@JJR58 Yeah, DO IT!

All the smoking discussion makes me think of this:

Maybe but you could easily sell it on Reverb for a couple hundred more than you paid after fees and buy a bird you liked.....see, this is how you justify things.....

Now that there is funny, I don't care who ya are!

There are many programs to help you quit. Meditation, hypnosis, laser treatments, etc. But the best predictor of success is the amount paid for hthe program. Free programs have the poorest success rates, very expensive programs have the highest success rates.

That is a nice pair of SGs there too.

Thanks for that, don't remember seeing that sketch before.

Heck, what would a pimp be without a nice pair
