Gosh, I hope the PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals) don't hear about the furry lining on that monstrous case designed to protect this lousy piece of junk!

"Chris Squire played a triple neck at the 2003 Montreaux Jazz Festival, BTW"

I saw that bass being played by it's original owner, Roger Newell, from about 10' away!

Gotta have a pic for posterity:

...THIS GUITAR IS MADE BY THE TENNESSEE COMPANY ...

that is, something like

The Tennessee Company

Quongjin China

Reminds me of a line from "Wonderful WINO Radio" by George Carlin:

" ... and here's the hot new hit by that great new group from England, The Kansas City Boys ..."

I really enjoy Carlin. He is a genius.

Just looked up this list...

Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

If man evolved from monkeys and apes. . . why do we still have monkeys and apes?

The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section? "

She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him. . . is he still wrong? (yes)

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?

Is there another word for synonym?

Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all? "

What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?

If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages?

Would a fly without wings be called a walk?

Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?

If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?

Why do they put Braille on the drive-through bank machines?

How do they get the deer to cross at that yellow road sign?

Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

What was the best thing before sliced bread?

One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people.

Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra?

Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?

How is it possible to have a civil war?

If God dropped acid, would he see people?

If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest drown too?

If you ate pasta and antipasti, would you still be hungry?

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

Whose cruel idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have a "S" in it?

Why are hemorrhoids called "hemorrhoids" instead of "assteroids"?

Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?

Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?

Where are we going? And what's with this hand basket?

If the "black box" flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole damn airplane made out of that shi*?

Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.

I'm not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no pain.

I'm in shape. Round is a shape.

I'm desperately trying to figure out why Kamikaze pilots wore helmets.

Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific.

Ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you, but when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window?

Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

You have to stay in shape. My mother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 now and we have no idea where she is.

I have six locks on my door, all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three of them.

One out of every three Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of two of your best friends. If they are OK, then it must be you.

They show you how detergents take out bloodstains. I think if you've got a T-shirt with bloodstains all over it, maybe your laundry isn't your biggest problem.

Ask people why they have deer heads on their walls and they tell you it's because they're such beautiful animals. I think my wife is beautiful, but I only have photographs of her on the wall.

A lady came up to me on the street, pointed at my suede jacket and said, "Don't you know a cow was murdered for that jacket?" I said "I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now I'll have to kill you too".

Future historians will be able to study at the Jimmy Carter Library, the Gerald Ford Library, the Ronald Reagan Library, and the Bill Clinton Adult Bookstore.

Bloody brilliant!!

The Beatles latest record, when played backwards at slow speed, says 'Dummy! You're playing it backwards at slow speed!"

Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?

Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 a piece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards.

OK ... so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the "Jags" and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known as the "Bucs", what does that make the Tennessee Titans?

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one enjoys it?

Man, a guitar with 3, 4, 5 necks. Now that's an instrument for a person who doesn't have time in between songs to switch instruments. A person who feels that way should talk to the manager of the establishment to let them have a little more time on stage.

I do see the idea of a doubleneck though. Especially if one neck is a bass, and other a guitar, or one is fretted and the other fretless. But, anything with more than 2 necks are just plain for show, IMHO.

I could hear his voice as I was reading those, Nate.

My nephews have the "Thomas the Train" dvds, and I think I like them as much as them(my nephews), due to Carlin's voice. Really funny hearing Carlin reading children's material!
Some of the trains' faces even look like his!Image

$371.00 is about $370.99 too much unless you're a midget Neilsen. Or a Runescape troll.

Connections?

I'm not sure about that, Paul. I reckon it's a fair price for something to keep behind the front door to dissuade intruders. Carries more clout than a baseball bat!! And the ugliness if it might just cause them to lose interest. Image

OK picture this: You're in a serious band and you arrive at practise with this monster case and tell the guys look at this cool guitar that I just bought on e-bath for $371.00.

I think you'd be looking for a new band dont you?
