26- The only protection you have to wear when playing your guitar is a decent thumb pick.
27- When in mixed company, you can talk about what a great time you had the last time you played your guitar.

Mmmm. But what about a cup of tea and a blow job on a Sunday morning?

mr van dyke,
you silly brit. that just goes to show that you have never owned a guitar... and that i have too many. altho, i do sometimes get the occasional wim wam on a just as an occasional tuesday morning, and when that happens, well i forget about the tea, (and lately the guitars don't carry as much weight either)...

sexy lookin' Tele you got there.

Ha! - I was hoping to illicit some response m.a. my dear chap.

You are dead right; I've never owned a guitar - although I did have a bizarre mouth organ incident once with a damp Catholic Venezuelan tart just outside Caracas.

By the way - there's no tele in that room. But then, with all those 'axes' (get me) cluttering up the place, there is little space for viewing Basil and Sybil Fawlty. (That may be a fridge however in the background - or simply an attractive corner unit with sturdy wooden plinth).

Sorry, I seem to have digressed from my original thrust, which was .. what kind of a euphemism is 'wim wam'? And why Tuesday morning? I think your adoring readers need to know - not to mention your lovely lady!

Thanks for calling me 'silly' by the way -ultimate compliment.

Keep that little chubby chin up.

Much respect and a glass of foaming ale.

particularly Ray Davies and Macca playing live.

(Ray has his 2nd solo album just out by the way).

Enjoy

Ah, and what about Talking Heads' Electric Guitar?

Like the list. Did you make those up yourself? I think it would make a fine chain letter.

Peace,

Tim
