You are bad, bad, people and this is a bad place!

[tjcurtin1]

OK - there I was, 6 months COMPLETELY GAS FREE; no desires for gear of any kind, at last perfectly satisfied and just enjoying what I had...

And then comes the raffle... Great idea, sez I to myself, partly going to a good charity - I'll join in out of a sense of community...

So, a few days go by and I think, "Hmmm, but what if I win? I don't want anything, and I'll have to spend it on gear... A few more days went by, no urges, I can't even think of anything - so I try to think harder. Hey! IF I really have to get something, a resonator might be cool. I know I won't win, but I'll just do a little research since I don't know anything about them.

So, I DON'T win... but you can guess what the 'little bit of research' has done - not only am I now really jonesing for a resonator, I find one that is cheap enough to talk myself into getting, despite the fact that I 'knew' that I was safe and wouldn't be able (read: dare) to buy one if I didn't win. To ADD to my sins, I even led another Fretter into temptation (name is omitted in order to protect the innocent).

So, now one of THESE is on the way - THANKS A LOT YOU GUYS:flamemad: :punch: :reallymad:

I have to stop hanging around here..... On the other hand, at $99, it is a pretty cheap thrill! (It's a Johnson 'Chicago Blues' JR-200)

[thearabianmage]

That's pretty sweet, dude!

And at least you've suppressed the GAS with relative ease and only $99. . . Some of us are terminally ill. :D

You gots to pay to play. Better buck up and get it. That's what you get for being bad in all those past lives. Now you got to pay your dues. Get that axe and play the blues.:beer:

[oldguy]

That's a pretty sweet lookin' rig for $99, TJ.
Lots of mojo vibe in those reso's.......... you'll be belting out delta tunes in no time!:AOK:

& I have the added karma of past lives on several planets to contend with.

Thanks Ted. :thwap:

GET it?! I already GOT it!! Hope I get home that day before my wife...

By the way, that line above is great sig material - it even rhymes! Hmm, could be part of a new song....

[street music]

tj-it's a disease, not any medicine than what you got. You just have to take care of the pain, it will come back too, it could be worse the next time so prepare yourself and that Mrs for the yet to come GAS.

[warren0728]

Dr Rob and his team cured me from my GAS free time.

Nice nice axe by the way.....such a piece is still missing in my....ohhhh nooooo GAS again...........

I know we are bad, but as long as Reverend Rawk is still with us, we must doing okay. :D

You mean I'm the only one keeping this place from sliding merrily into the abyss? Imagine the pressure!

Man, I've GOTTA have that book. ;)

[Robert]

Heh, I wrote it. :D

[duhvoodooman]

Heh, I wrote it. :D
Bull****. You may have written the "Forward", but the author would have to be our own dear Spudman. Until you have to get up on your roof to get all your guitars into a single photo, Robert, you will remain an apprentice to the Master. :master: :master: :master: :rockon:

The need for aerial photography trumps all GAS claims save for those verified by satellite reconnaissance.

I'll second that motion. Spudster is the champ! 'Course I think Krashpad's trying to catch him! :D

[Robert]

I know, I know... we all pale in comparison to Sir Spud. I bow for thee.

I wish I knew how to write. I could certainly tell what a problem GAS can be but I'm not author. However, the bows are appropriate.:D
