guitarmeister2005 u play guitar 2000 years??? i didn't realise tracie was THAT old!!

Good Morning Satchland How have you guys been?

Stevee T...... Thanks for the pic on the JS guitar. They are beautiful. I remember a post awhile ago with a link asking if the women on the site was Joe's sister. It looks like she is. I thought I read somewhere.....maybe on one of Joe's cd's that Rubina painted the Skull and Bones guitar. Can you confirm? Anybody? Do you know the price of the Satriani sister guitars? Take care.

How about some comic relief?.....These are true.....You have to wonder about people sometimes......#10 is my fav. HINT....Grab some mouthwash before you read that one...lol..... 2005 Darwin Award Winner:

1. When his 38-calibre revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, California, would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.....

And now, the honorable mentions:

2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and, after a little hopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company, expecting negligence, sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved.

3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago, returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.

4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.

5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.

6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer...$15. (If someone points a gun at you and GIVES you money, is a crime committed?)

7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinderblock through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinderblock and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinderblock bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.

8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."

9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan, at 5 a.m., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.

A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER!

10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges, saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had.

Hey peeps, dont forget to leave some messages thoughts and love for the ONE AND ONLY SLANSH at his ever improving website...

civgeek...thanks, any leads will be helpful.

Keniko....not sure what they're worth...but I do hope to find out! Don't know if Rubina some the skulls...pretty sure it was Donnie Hunt....RIP!

Ronnie....Hoshino say's Chromeboy to be delivered in Sept....that would be tomorrow in my neck of the woods...can't wait!

SteeveT - right now I'm doing the final mix to The Rape of the Sabine Women

it is so frustrating.... I'm so close to getting it rght...
but there is always one little thing....
like the guitar is too toppy, or the bass is a gnats cock too loud...

maybe I'm being overly fussy and just say "fuck it... I can't do any better... crack on and just finish the fucking thing.."

it's doing my head in..

anyways... sirens were going off... and from where I was standing in my hotel room, it was raining 'up'... we all got ushered into the hallways [no windows etc]...
it was a pretty nasty experience....

one thing I'll never forget.... is laying by the pool after work... 85F.. not a cloud in the sky... then a line of black cloud slowly comes over... but you can see the blue sky in the distance turning yellow and orange as the sun was setting.. but the cloud above was the blackest I'd ever seen... it was like being under a spooky black canopy.. the air felt really odd.. sort of 'charged'.... then the hail started.... almost golf ball sized... machine gunning to pool....
the guy I was with was from Oki.. he said.. "the sky's rotating.. we'd better get inside.. this could get bad.."
then the sirens went off and all shit broke loose..
and I was a little over 10 miles from the closest of the two that touched down..

Thanks for that Mike and to all who keep visiting Guitar 9 and buying. Roy has been No1 in the Rock popularity list for a while - way ahead of very great guitarists. Thanks all.

Phrydom- Know what you mean about moving NOW but I am currently re-training for a different career so am a bit in-between times in my thinking! We've always thought we would like to move out there in our 40s... about 10 years from nowI suppose... I am a teacher at the moment, so hopefully could get work in that if I have to, but am re-training as an Educational Psychologist over the next 2 or 3 years, so.. It's something we are definitely going to do though. However I won't ever benefit from Italian coffee though as I hate it! :)

Bahduh- Hope you are ok, how's the little one btw?

Chris / Guitarmeister2005- Thanks for the Joe settings- we have a JSX! Can't help about the Digitech Whammy though, sorry.

BTW, if anyone in England is looking to buy a JSX Head, look at this link first!That's where we bought ours! One left for £999
