The Top 16 Signs Your Cat is Overweight
Cat door retro-fitted with garage door opener.
Confused guests constantly mistaking her for beanbag chair.
Always lands on her spleen.
Fewer calls to the fire department, but a sudden upsurge in broken branches.
Fifteen month gestation period, and still no kittens.
No longer cleans itself unless coated in Cheese Whiz.
Anna Nicole Smith fits through your kitty door without the aid of lubricants.
Catfood dish replaced with Rush Limbaugh trough.
Luxurious, shiny black fur replaced with mint green polyester pants suit.
It's no longer safe to lift him without a spotter.
"Steals breath" from all five quintuplets, simultaneously.
Larry King keeps trying to kiss it full on the lips.
Waits for the third bowl of food to get finicky.
He only catches mice that get trapped in his gravitational pull.
Enormous gut keeps your hardwood floors freshly buffed.
and the Number 1 Sign Your Cat is Overweight...
Has more chins than lives.

Hi Joe, Hi fans. Its been a long time since I posted here, & sorry don't have time to read all the posts! Greetings to anyone who remembers me: Clarky, Barry. PhyrDom, jblaze..anyone else..& HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all.
Joe, sorry to hear about your illness. Hope you are resting & getting well.
I have a little story to tell: I spent 5 days after Christmas at our Buddhist centre in Trets, in the South of France. No TV, no papers, no radio. We knew about the tragedy, but not the extent. The shocking stories I read on the way home made me weep, and thank God that my daughter & her boyfriend had returned safely from India 2 weeks before.
Anyway, while at Trets, as well as chanting for World Peace and discussing Buddhahood, we always manage to have an evening of entertainments, and there is always an assortment of talented people.
I took my guitar, and had decided a while back that I really wanted to perform "I Believe" as I think it is the most beautiful song with words that you have written. Also, the words seem to be very appropriate both to the theme of the course and also to the current world situation. Particularly the words of the chorus are so powerful: "I believe we can change anything, I believe we can rise above this"..etc.
Luckily I met another guitarist there who agreed to do the song with me, and we practiced for 3 days before performing it on New Years Day. The audience of 150 Buddhists were spellbound. So many people came up to me afterwards and said.."that's such a beautiful song, did you write it?"
"Unfortunately, no." I replied, " I wish I had!"
"Who wrote it?"
"Joe Satriani".
"Joe who?"
"Joe Satriani, best guitarist in the world"
"Hmm, never heard of him. What album is it from?"
"Flying in a Blue Dream"
"Where can I buy it?"
"Well, any decent music store......."
"OK, write it down for me...."
That converstaion was repeated dozens of times......so if there's a run of orders for FIABD you will know why!
I was so happy that I brought Joe Satriani to that beautiful peaceful place in the mountains, where the sun shone and the air was clean, and that I introduced a few more people to your music. Maybe one day you will visit there in person. Thankyou for the music which just carries on and gets better each year. Please be well & stay safe. Best wishes to all fans for 2005.
Till next time.

Long, but not too long.
I would visit for a few years, but just started posting in recent time.
There are many many more "elders" around here that have been around much much longer than I have.

JOE - hey man, i know your sick but whats the deal with your ticket prices? i was at eric johnson's site and it said he was playing the 4th and B so i clicked it and you were on the homepage, it was talking about the postponement.... then i had to do a triple take... Box Seats $250/$300/$350 what the f? are you madonna or the stones? whats the deal with that? trying to pimp your ride? buy yourself out of your sony/epic contract? buy a ticket to space? i didnt see anyone else with those astronomical prices... BB king - $60. Eric Johnson - $20 Richie Blackmore - $20 Mos Def - $30....i know the GA for the show is $30 but wtf is up with these "special packages" and "box seats" and shit lately? what happened to the days of $20 to $50 gets you in, no bullshit ? have a lot of respect for you so i dont want to assume you're just trying to strike it rich..... being rich comes from somewhere else, not our wallets and you know this more than anyone else.....im kinda shocked....cognitive dissonance if you will.
steve has been doing this lately too....

Zinc Master......congrats on reaching 900 posts in only a couple of months..lol...!!!!
YaYo....I don't know how old you are...but I remember going to all day concerts with every band imaginable playing at it...for maybe 10 or 12 bucks ! I agree totally...prices are getting way out of hand...but I wonder if Sony or some other entity is taking a nice chunk of that. It just does'nt seem like Joe's style to fleece like that.

Hey Joe man, in all honnesty what are the chances of you ever playin' in serbia? The country isn't as bad as everyone thinks (deppends on how bad they think it is) and everyone has a lot respect for great musicians. all you gotta do is come, play for a while and admire how everything is so 70s.
Later man, get well soon
