Well Scott - at least it ain't Fort Payne Alabama. I spent ten wonderful days there eating Fried Baloney Sandwiches and pushing drunks off the bunk above me.

Yeah, gotta love jail. If I were you I'd sell a kidney or something.

LOL I'm fine ./.. I just schooled some dumb punks on the b-ball court.

Yeah jail sucks, but they have internet too!@!! It's like a reaaaaalllly cheap vacation.. (maybe, really, really cheap)

And as long as I don't have to listen to Mike Birch's caterwauling, I'll be fine.

Mike, if I sounded like you I'd make less remarks about my possible boyfriends and invest my time into making myself sound reasonable instead of what you got now, you buffoon. That is unless you wanna volunteer, Mikey..I'd make you my bitch in about 10 seconds.

To tell the truth, I don't swing that way but I appreciate your misguided, albeit lama-esque method of being a douche. I've come to expect it from you at this point. I mean I knew you were a dumb ass when you were calling out the stalker's name. (Who even does that type of thing that has a half of a brain?)

We're listening to your music now. Call it a "compare and contrast".

PS: Victoria Secret is for women, if you didn't know. Maybe you don't like women. (shrugs) :shock:

Geez, Scott maybe when you get out you can earn some money and buy yourself a sense of humor. :roll:

You don't like my style of music, I get it. Still waiting to hear your fabulous stylings other than the stuff you did with Les and constantly whined about.

Your style has nothing to do with it. (I am not even going there, too easy to poke holes in that and I don't regard that as fair play.)

You wanna tell me I wear women's lingerie to my face, Mike or some such sh*t about a boyfriend in jail?
(I don't recommend it, unless your medical insurance is paid up in full.)

You wanna guess how many jelly beans are in the jar or how many times I'd jump up and down on you like a bad trampoline>? lol (you'd be flat as a pancake)

Did you have a bad day yesterday or you want me to come and play music with you or what is your motivation, chuck? You seem like maybe things are a bit obscured and/or difficult right now. If there's anything I can do for you, let me know.

Even from MY questionable and not altogether positive experiences, one would think you'd know better than to run your mouth being that you are no longer 15 years of age and not really a specimen of "tangible physicality" to put it mildly.

Now we can add the fact that sometimes you say dumb things, like when you were talking sh*t about the stalker and even wrote her name in the forum before I mentioned it and subsequently was deleted. (even I know better than that) But part of that is my fault for even saying anything, because there is always at least one dummy in every barrel of monkeys.



Well thanks ok, Mike. Just direct your vitriol elsewhere because I'd be your huckleberry in a NYC minute.
Glenny is ripe for the picking, though. lol
(No offense Glen, you were just the first name that came to mind)

"How 'bout trying to act like an admin now instead of a comedian"?

Because the next time, we'll see what the mothership has to say about your behavior as you aren't exactly acting the part when you say stupid sh*t about proposed boyfriends in jail and wearing women's lingerie.

But I believe in the fact that we all have bad days. So this is your one bye-round before we make it an official complaint to have you removed.

My advice is to have some Ovaltine and call it a day.
Take a 20 minute nap, for god's sake, just remove your head from the other end and save your jokes for someone that thinks they are funny.

Is that too much to ask from you, Mr. Admin? Do you feel like that's too much to ask from a proposed ADMIN>?

PS: That's not humor, that's mean spirited and if you want mean, just pull start me...I'll show you "mean". YOUR HUMOR LEAVES MUCH TO BE DESIRED.

Otherwise, just ban me. It will save you some bruises, both mental and possibly physical and I really don't mind at all after reading that which you so casually wrote if you are to be the dullard that you currently are emulating. You must have absolutely zero forethought and that's not ok by me.

If that's what I am to expect from an admin, it's time for me to leave perm-style.

Damn I thought you guys got along... I don't read everything here so I must've missed a thread or two or three.
Anywho Scott sounds like you're paying some dues... best way you can at the moment.
I'm sure it sucks but maybe you'll get a song out of it.
Don't get hurt and don't hurt nobody! :shock:

Good luck!

See and I thought that was from the shock... when they read the guilty verdict.

SHEET, "guilty or not guilty" was never the issue.

WE didn't burn anything and I did think about lighting something on fire at one point, but I KNOW better than to be another dummy in the barrel of monkeys...

Don't we have enough dummies already?

After the fact here, I don't even think the judge was too angry.

No damage, no vandalism, too many people not supposed to be there and no $ for fines...

In short, yeah we adapted it to be what we needed, but "no animals were injured during the filming of this documentary including myself". LOL

And since we don't play any of that atonal, non-melodic horseshit hardcore with cookie monster vocals and volume so loud auto-glass shatters, I MAY DO IT AGAIN.

Then again I still have to the end of this month with the likes of Otis. (thanks Vin, you're all heart, ya bastid) lol

"Mayhaps" a locale change though, the ranger said they were going to be watching more closely next time...(Easy with those glasses, Vernon, if the sun strikes them just right, you'll start a fire.)

Let's sneak up on the ranger shack and see if we can hear anything from inside.. (loud snoring..followed by a fart..) hahahaaa hic buuurrrp. lol

In retrospect, I changed my mind. I won't do that again, unless we set the whole place on fire and go completely shit-ass loco, which I reserve for semi-annual events... LMAO

I feel cheated, I spend more $ and effort than "damage done"..(pout) lol

The worst was the condescending attitudes of the legal system.
I felt like they were upset because I didn't get in more trouble.

(typical bureaucrats in a corrupt system from hell)

My advice is to avoid the entire tri-state area like you'd avoid leprosy.

PS: They didn't rebuild the shore area like they said they would, but they said they did. (more lies) Gov Christie and Booker got fat on Zuckerburg's $ and didn't do sh*t, but Fema is right there as well. Bunch of liars, they are and cheats.

Let's not even talk about the bridge thing..it's just scandalous.

Maybe the VS stuff will help you with a new boyfriend in kiddie jail! :wink: But they probably don't have a size for you anyway. :shock:


This is the garbage you keep posting everywhere. You think that you can wink and that will get you off the hook. You should go read Scotts response to you. He is right on all accounts. Unfortunately you have never taken the time to listen to his music. He is very creative!!!

So you reply with garbage like that when a good person just got kicked in the teeth. In my opinion Mike Birch, you are disgusting... I don't care how many cowards you have backing you up... YOU ARE NOT A NICE PERSON!

Scott sorry to hear about all this craappp. First from a park ranger, then from a judge, and then from MIKE BIRCH.

Just for the record, I refused a GC card, many times. The origin of this post has the truth written in. Deal with GC or SA and you need it...

You wind up with the sort of love and friendship that birch will send your way.

Hey Joel, are you for real?

Do you do business with entities that lie to your face? I do not.

I take it that you do look up prices before you buy anything, anywhere from anyone?
(always-always-always)

Let me break it down for you, since you seem to think we live in a perfect world.

I DON'T TAKE LIGHTLY TO LIARS, CON MEN and THIEVES. So If I wander into a GC/SA and I see something that is way over priced, I take it seriously. These are all tools I use often and to make money. When you look to rob me, you are pissing into the fan.

If I go to your store and you lie to me, even a minor lie, that in all likely-hood will be the last time you EVER see me. (Be honest or be gone.)

Guitar Center/ Sam Ash are not reputable in this area and we all know it. They purposely inflate everything they sell, so they can have a sale and misrepresent "the savings" you will feel by buying from them. (bwahahaaaaa)

BULLSHIT.

Even worse, the whole point of this thread is that they couldn't even be bothered to get a real musician to do their commercial(s). I just don't get it. The actors/actresses were all unknowns and couldn't even play one note, but they all PRETENDED they were.

Now I know you don't believe in trust in advertising, but I do. I have a very short list of companies in my AO that do what I need them to do and don't rob me just because I play music from time to time. They understand I often need things fixed yesterday and I am going to put all of my equipment through it's paces every single time I play. I often pay a little more for these considerations, but I am not playing in front of GI JOE, SHE-RA and HE-MAN either. (Zip I'll never forget that pic, I laughed so hard.)

If you want to dick around with pos companies like sweet water, musician's friend, sam ash and guitar center, you deserve what you get.

I got offered a minor sponsorship from a music store that's not too far away that I have bitched about in the past here. I laughed when I heard the guy pitch it to me.

I then asked him if "Ernie" was still working in the back on guitars. He stopped a second and said "yes", slowly.
I told him that I would have to decline. He asked why. I told him that Ernie f**k up a strat of mine and I had to pay 150$ just to get it back, even though the problem was not fixed.

I then told him that even if he was on fire....well you get the drift.

I'm guessing that if you plink around in the garage and you don't do much, it really doesn't matter where you shop when you don't mind throwing hard earned coin around, but I have a different set of morals for music stores that I haunt and terrorize.

I'll spend money in a mom and pop music store anyday over any of the other chain stores because mom and pop have a sense of fair play, where the chain stores do not.

You spend your money however you want, but I am all about being strategic. And if you can't figure out what that means, look up some prices on the used gear they have at GC. It's usually almost retail.

When I want to be cheated, I'll call my ex-wife. Otherwise GC and the like is great if you are a novice and don't have a clue what you are doing. (Check the internet for pricing before you get raped during halftime, jr.)

It's not the public's fault if you aren't smart enough to avoid getting ripped off because you didn't bother to price check and check the internet to see who the real cretins are online these days.

Ignorance is not a valid excuse except for the mentally damaged...

I think you're over-reacting, it's just an ad, and it's not aimed at you; it's targetting people who don't play guitar already. I'll repeat that, you're not a member of their target demo! So of course you're not going to be persuaded by it.
