Re: Guitar for you frequent flyers

Damn, that's the first smile I've had this week.


Well done, Norm.

TA-DAH!!! The heavens have opened and sunlight is streaming down
through the clouds!! I have arrived.... I'm on the scene.... I'm I'm
here to sound the clarion call!!

In short, Danny Boy, I'm going to put things right!! You didn't think
I was going to let people talk to you like this when you don't
understand why they're doing it, do you?? Here's the deal..... Let
me 'splain.....

You are laughed at here because you are funny. Unintentionally, of
course, but funny, nonetheless..... You are an amalgam of almost
every knucklehead we've ever had here at rmmga. You are, by turns, a
braggart, a blowhard, a sad case, a loon, a self-centered whack job
who can't look into a mirror without seeing the person he most
admires. You are the tough guy who is going to beat our asses; you
have achieved more in this life than any of us can ever even dare to
dream of. You are, in short, DA MAN!! And we think that's funny!!
It makes us laugh!!

By the way, we don't laugh with you.... you really aren't THAT kind of
funny. You are laughable in a pathetic way. I'll explain it to you
in terms that even you will be able to understand: you are the ONLY
person around here (and quite a few other places, given what I've
read) who doesn't get you, who doesn't see through the veneer... OK, I
went too far.... There's really no veneer. What you are is completely
obvious to even the most casual observer. And you truly don't get
it. THAT is the most humorous thing about you.

You know, Danny Boy, I want to share something with you. I'd like you
to do a quick search for posts about me. I am (and this may well be
argued) possibly the *** of more jokes around here than anyone else I
can think of. And I find it to be funny. Google "speedos", "potato",
"in the front", "in the back","leave a guitar somewhere for me",
"village idiot" (I'm actually quite proud of that one!).... you'll
see what I mean. But you get twisted out of shape about a mention of
you and nautical inlays in a guitar. Man.... a comment like that
wouldn't even show up on my radar. So let me add one more item to the
list above: thin-skinned.

Hold on there, big fellow.... Don't go getting mushy on me. There is
absolutely no need to thank me. I'd do this for anyone I liked.

Hmmm... So why did I do it for you??

I have to think about this.......

Norman (Personally, I'm Glad To See You Back!!) Draper
