Tales from the Crypt

I received an email alert that Lane Kiffin got fired. I am not sure if this is good or bad news for Raiders fans. I don't give a rat's ass's pimple. Most Raiders fans are loyal. Some follow because of the silver and black. It is funny how some guys have Raiders shit but don't even know who the hell All Davis is!!! Well this post is for you.

Disclaimer: I am a Vikings fan.

To me, Al Davis is the Keith Richards of sports. He will out live us ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAS

• GAS: Gear Acquisition Syndrome

• Definition: “…a common disease found particularly among, but not limited to, guitar players. A loose definition of GAS would be the obsessive and irrational horse trading or purchasing of musical related equipment.” - Brett Ratner

• I have been recently diagnosed with GAS or GAD.

• After a battery of tests it was determined that my GAS started in 1996.

• I scored an 8 on a GAS self test. (See where you stand, click on the link http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Articles/Avoiding_GAS/GAS-Self-Test.html)

• For the ailing spouse or partner whose loved one has been afflicted with GAS, you may find this article helpful. http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Articles/Avoiding_GAS/

Here she is, my latest GAS attack. Her name is Margaux. Why? Well she comes in a wine finish and Chateau Margaux has killer wine(s). Don’t ask!

Right!

FYI

I submitted my life insurance documents at 4 pm today. That is 1 hour and 30 minutes before the deadline. I am cured!!! The greatest lesson I learned from that experience...redundancy!!! I believe I wrote my name, address, and other guano 5x. You should have seen the look on my face when I saw the lone triplicate form. I was waiting for that "70's show" guy (the one dating the cougar) to pop out of nowhere yelling "PUNK'D".

Every monday (I know, I know) I will post a song title and the artist. Comment what the song reminds you of. Technical comments will be eliminated!

Today's song is "Crazy Love" by Poco.

Please no comments such as it is in F#Maj 13 Sus 5th to the 14th power 4/4 blah blah blah. TY!

The best comment wins a VFW domestic beer token! Well look at this this way, based on the number of my "regulars", you have a 1 in 3 chance of winning!!!

Attention to detail! The winner will be chosen before the next posted song. Thanks grassy.

Stroken is dead again!

Farewell Bassman! We lost our Bassman. Thanks a lot ARMY! I wish him the best of luck. In the short time he was in the band, I witnessed him grow from a kid (I mean this in the coolest way possible) to a man. Kid joins band, kid gets married, Man has a beautiful baby girl, Man joins military, Man quits band. He will be missed.

I think this is good a time to take a long break. I will be focusing my energy on my brother's new band. I am looking for a bass player. Please send me a bio and a pint of your blood.

For the bored ear

• I will die for you.
• You are my only home.
  

Prep for Suicide

"I want to clean my mess of a room before I commit suicide. But I'm a huge procrastinator. And so the mess just keeps piling up."

• I saw this on postsecret and thought it was poignant.
  
• I am afraid of not doing something or not recognizing when someone wants to hurt themselves.
  
• Perhaps that is why I am a recovering procrastinator.
• It is hard...
