Hey there S.D.,
I knew a drummer who once used "those pointy things" on his kick drum while playing on a freshly refinished gym floor at a high school sock hop. What's that worth?

LMAO!

I like that one, execution for Slipknot makeup. I can't wait for "Guitarist Infractions." I am going to go broke then, because I am of this generation of crazy people.

I like these threads, they add a lot of humor to the board. Nice posts, The Singing Drummer.

Peace out, GuitarAnatomy.
