I haven't heard that one (workingmans dead) before.

to all my long lost friends here........its been a long two months being trapped in a siberian sweat shop making thermal lingerie but i've managed to coerce a wayward sled jockey to get this message to you all if i promise to knit him a burlap thong. I hope this note finds you all doing well with all six ( or 5 or 4 or 12 or 7 etc.) strings tuned and singing sweetly. I'm sure I'll be up for parole in a couple of weeks, keep rockin" and say hi to joe for me!

But You Could Have

A husband and wife are traveling by car from Key West to Boston. After almost twenty-four hours on the road, they're too tired to continue, and they decide to stop for a rest. They stop at a nice hotel and take a room, but they only plan to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road.

When they check out four hours later, the desk clerk hands them a bill for $350. The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He tells the clerk although it's a nice hotel; the rooms certainly aren't worth $350.

When the clerk tells him $350 is the standard rate, the man insists on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appears, listens to the man, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for the husband and wife to use.

"But we didn't use them," the man complains.

"Well, they are here, and you could have," explains the Manager. He goes on to explain they could have taken in one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. "The best entertainers from New York, Hollywood and Las Vegas perform here," the Manager says.

"But we didn't go to any of those shows, "complains the man again. "Well, we have them, and you could have," the Manager replies. No matter what facility the Manager mentions, the man replies, "But we didn't use it!"

The Manager is unmoved, and eventually the man gives up and agrees to pay. He writes a check and gives it to the Manager.

The Manager is surprised when he looks at the check. "But sir," he says, "this check is only made out for $50."

"That's correct," says the man. "I charged you $300 for sleeping with my wife."

"But I didn't!" exclaims the Manager.

Clarky in da house!!!! Word up, dawg!!??

Do The Stu Just saw your post today, I'm like 8 pages behind...i've had a sort of rough past 5 or 6 days... but, about the Dream Theater show at Radio City Music Hall, I'll be there too. I bought my tickets right when they went on sale. I mentioned this here a few times already, but I got AMAZING seats for the show, orchestra seats, 3rd row from the stage, almost dead center, too! And, it's being filmed for a DVD and CD, which you probably already knew. It's going to be an awesome show. I was going to also go to the show in Asbury Park, but I'd rather just stick with the NY show, it will most likely be their best. It's the last show of the tour and they'll have everything planned out to the extent they wanted.

Ovation1 ........Thanks for your support, I have emaild Webmaster again but still nothing.

Satriella ......Attention to detail thats the key...... you should play

Webmaster ........Please sort me out man.

DC Slater - The three albums you mentioned are probably the most popular among T2Jers. For me personally, ITLIS? is my favorite album. My favorite song is Why, from The Extremist. Although, to be fair, I like just about everything Joe does. Picking favorites is hard work. ;-)

Well...it's time for school. I'll finish reading posts later tonight...

Joe: How are you today? Well my dad is doing ok as it go's by. So when do you think that the new tour dates will be posted? Cant wait to see them. Really hoping to see Spokane on the list. lol. Have a great day man. love ya.

Keniko: sorry i musta missed the post about your birthday... Happy Birthday! huggss

Michelle - I know your kit.. it sounds really nice....

I want to get a big purple one.. fnarf fnarf... lol..

well.. the guy in the drum shop called it "wine"...

I'm thinking about getting Sabien cymbals to go with it and a set of 3 roto's - cos they'll take up less room than another 3 toms...
so this'll be 3 roto's, two mounted toms and a floor tom
later I'll add a double kick pedal

I still have a lot of work to do on it.. but nothing musical.. all the admin and stuff...

right now I'm prepping for a DC tour, so I'll not be mastering until early summer - cash perimtting..

you coming to see DC in London in March??
if you want to, you can come up with me and crash at my place...

so...

Naty

Happy Birthday

Austin, dude I'm sorry if this comes across as kind of out of line or offensive or whatever, but it sounds like this girl doesn't deserve to still have contact with you.

The two of you were close, really close, and you told her honestly how you felt.....she should have honored the fact that you too a risk and told her the truth, and she should have had the integrity to say that although she couldn't reciprocate she still wanted to maintain your friendship.

Running off and making things difficult for you just because she didn't know how to react to your honesty......that's not good enough man.

I know it's easy to say in theory, but believe me, from experience I will happilly say that a proper friend should find some way to always be there for you, even if they don't share a level of attachment that you personally would like.

That's just my thoughts, but I know there's a few people who know what I'm talking about! Sorry if this should have been written by e-mail!

Welcome, by the way :-)

Michelle:lol, a family person i know, went one further.went to the shower t put that get rid o fluff stuff on, so when the skirt came up it was as she thought "admirable" then had a bath after.....Bad move, apparently it looked like a baboons arse,lmao

Chad Hadley Buddy... chances are that you went to Music Pro either downtown Barrie on Dunlop St. or the Music Pro down at the South End store and or Gilbert Guitars on Bayfield Ave.

unfortunately, they are major rip off artists... it's the only way they can make any money... Canadian companies have to jack up the prices to even remotely make a profit on Goods and services... Canadians in General and on average are the "Richest Poor People" in the world...hehe

Blame the New Prime Minister's party nearly 20 years or so ago for that one when Brian Mulroney was in power... GST!!!

now companies have to jack prices a little more so they make a profit because of the extra taxes, when it went from 7% to 15% combined PST and GST

It's even worse for Fuel prices... I get a kick out of the US complaining that it's 2 bucks a gallon or so for Gas... not sure the current prices down there

when all they really have to do is convert Canadian Litres to gallons and realize that 90 plus cents a litre is nearly double what the us pays for one gallon. or so I've been told anyways...

Ovation- Yes a great documentary- an amazing guy!

Bahduh- will check the mail shortly... hope you are ok :)

Clarky- Hi, good luck with your tour coming up soon then!

MasterYoda- that RGT site is really good, definitely worthwhile.

Satriella- Quite amazing how JB communicates with his eye movements. Definitely a strong spirit.

HELP HELP HELP

Happy Birthday /\//\T'/ :-)

962: haha, lol man, and just look inside the Real Illusions jacket to see!.... All kidding aside, I hope he can hook us up with an Aching Hunger surprise!!....

Webmaster Jon: Please hook up njbeast with the Giveaway Contest goods.... He never got them....
