Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: RichM Date: 11 Apr 01 - 12:43 PM Jeri, the Trillium bouzouki looks like a fine instrument. While you're saving for this, why not start on something cheaper? I just got a 21" scale octave mando /bouzouki, which has a good sound. I think Folk of the Woods and/or Elderly Instruments sells them for 400 eaglebucks.... Rich McCarthy |
Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Rick Fielding Date: 11 Apr 01 - 12:33 PM Damn, I'll take the Elixers. They ARE too expensive for me to buy just for a look-see, and so far the 12th Fret hasn't given me a "research set"! That's what ya get for being so loveable Spaw. Now just calm down and accept that folks WANT to do nice things for you. Heather is currently packing several boxes for you, just in case you've run out of orange peels and coffee grounds. I'm adding my complete collection of "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers", The infamous "Irene Ryan" issue of PLayboy, several capos of weird design, Clinton Hammond's digi-tech tuner, Little Hawk's collected ("Don't Post Here") Mudcat writings, and a Tee-shirt with "WATCH WHAT YOU ASK FOR" on it. No, Please don't thank me. Rick |
Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: Jeri Date: 11 Apr 01 - 12:33 PM Spaw, LOL! Just shaddup and say "Thanks!" Now, I can't afford this bazouki, but I don't expect anyone to help me out. I will just have to save my pennies for years and years, and when I can buy it, I'll probably be so old I'll have to put legs on the case so I can use it for a walker. (Due to the fact that I'll have to eat cat food and peanut butter for all those years.) But I don't expect anyone to buy one for me. A friend has one. Perhaps I'll just gaze longingly at his with, tears running down my poor, malnourished cheeks, but I don't expect anyone to buy one for me. Seriously, dear "Won't Listen" - good on ya! S/he probably knows that you, Spaw, are mostly full of crap, but laced with elements of truth. I suspect you would buy your kids a singing fish or take Karen out before you bought yourself anything. Good for "Won't Listen" for not listening!

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: mousethief Date: 11 Apr 01 - 12:15 PM I can't think of anyone who deserves it less, Spaw. I mean more. Did I say "less"? I meant "more." Alex |

Subject: RE: BS: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: GUEST,J.B.T. Date: 11 Apr 01 - 12:08 PM Dearest Catspaw. Shortly you will receive a new Martin D-45 guitar, a Corvette, the phone number of Marisa Tomei, and a lifetime supply of Viagra. I'm currently reading every post you've ever made for overt or hidden wishes. They will be fulfilled every one. By the way, I'm a little short this week. Could you spare a couple of those sets of strings? Not the ELIXERS, by the way. I've got my pride! John Beresford Tipton P.S. I'm NOT sleeping with Michael Anthony!

Subject: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST HERE!!!! From: catspaw49 Date: 11 Apr 01 - 11:55 AM Okay..........We all know the internet rules and stuff. That's not what this is about. This is a THANK YOU.........maybe not your normal one, but uh...................Goes like this: Last week we were discussing how to cure "Guitar Acquisition Syndrome" (G.A.S.) and I made the comment that "being broke with a bunch of medical bills will do it everytime! Even strings become a budgeted purchase!" Now friends, that was meant as a joke. In truth, things are tight around here right now, but we're not desparate and I have strings! We just don't blow any money on things we don't consider a necessity for awhile. We still do the normal stuff and our kids are getting big Easter baskets, Mikey got to go to the new Pokemon movie at its first showing, we eat out occasionally............but we do watch it pretty close on a lot of things and I don't see any major purchases coming soon........but like many of us around here at the 'Cat, we got to watch it! Although I really should mention the name of this 'Catter, I'll just call s/he "Won't Listen." So Won't Listen sends me a PM and wasnts to know when I changed strings last and do I need strings. It was a lovely thought and shows the real heart of this 'Catter but I explained it was just a joke and we were OK as were my strings. I get another PM from "Won't Listen" who doesn't seem to be listening and offers again. At this point I KNOW this is a "Good Guy" and I again restate that its a joke, its OK, but thanks for being such a friend. Again though, "Won't Listen" just won't listen or give up and I get a cryptic message that leaves me shaking my head because I got this feeling that "Won't Listen" is not listening or believing or something and.................. Sure enough....Today I get Express Mail containing TEN SETS OF MY BRAND (which I don't think I mentioned, so some research on the threads was needed) and TWO SETS of Elixirs which I haven't tried yet and "Won't Listen" knows that. I don't know what to say........Thank You is a start. The other thing is......I will get even for this!!! I dunno' when or how, but I will get even!! Thank you "Won't Listen"........I accept them in the spirit of friendship they were given. To the rest of you.............WATCH WHAT YOU SAY!!!! ............ya' really gotta' love this place doncha'? NOW READ MY LIPS----I AM NOT BROKE!!! Spaw |
