I know all of this devil and crossroads business sounds fascinating, but why on earth would the devil want some clown that can't play? The devil goes after beauty and talent. He already owns the mediocre.

Now wait, I'm interested: what makes you think the devil "already owns the mediocre"?

I'm not exactly sure about this, but isn't ol' beelzebub after quantity, not quality?

wdyat12 is in the land of the missing, as well. Or is he on honeymoon ? Naemanson ? Guess some of us actually get time for vacation.

The devil you say!

I was taking a holiday at the seaside. Very lovely. Now I'm back.

This must be a troll thread. Our guest never came back to answer my question. I'm interested as to why he thinks the devil cares about quality, and "owns" the mediocre. Unless he's just saying he dislikes the mediocre and therefore they're "of the devil" so to speak. But maybe there is some old saying about the devil and the mediocre that I haven't heard?

Curiosity killed the cat. 9 times.

Welcome back, Alex -- unfortunately, like midges in the Maine woods in summer, this is High Troll Season. It's the school vacations, I think -- desperate juveniles with too much time on their hands.

Hey Alex! Next time you're going to the seaside, take me along huh? I mean I'd sell my soul to the devil for a nice week at the ocean. We could negotiate guitar pickin' with him later.
