Hi Friends,

This question is mostly for Trevor but the rest of you may feel free to add
tidbits, anecdotes and thought bubbles to this query.

Trevor... I will be the Arnold Schwartzenneger to your Danny DeVito come
the 28th. In reference to my previous post, when you disrespected my broken
rock bone, I thereafter stole a single hair from your scalp, had my backup
riffbone laminated with adamantium, it's marrow replaced with miracles, and
lazerfied them all together to form the ultimate rock weapon: TRODVOR 2000,
complete with bionic fingers, black Japanified hair, and enough riffs to
make a grown man cry. This new unit is powered solely by Molson 50, and
friendly advice. So my question is...

Can I borrow your amp on the 28th? I used most of my amp to build myself
the balls to go onstage again after 4 years.

Thanks in advance!

Troddy

Trevor	My old nemesis! I should not be surprised by your return, for you were not as easy to vanquish as most of my enemies. However you still have much to learn in the way of the rock. Lesson #1: there is no such thing as Molson 50. I cried when I read that. Tears of sadness. You see by allowing you to live, my hope was to have you return as a stronger, rock and rollinger foe. One that perhaps could become my protege. For I have much wisdom to impart, but fear my days are numbered. Lesson #2: even though you have riffs, fingers, and hair, and have asked for amplification, you still need accesories like a guitar strap and a pick. You may use my amplification, and you may take my place, but to complete your quest in life, you need to turn inwards and reflect on the well being of your soul. Only then will you acheive greatness which will rival mine. Also, make sure Trodvor runs on LABATT 50 next time!
Steve	I won't point out the obvious disrepect towards our sacred LABATT 50 ale, which in itself is an unforgiveable offense, I will instead look past your young innocence and impart these words of wisdom: My friend works at Blockbuster. He recommends movies to motherfuckers. Godspeed, Trodvor.
Paul	Trodvor, you have large shoes to fill. Are you able to fill every song you play with an almost excessive amount of guitary "wankery"? Are you able to strut your stuff on stage with the appropriate rock molded facial expressions? Are you able to sweat large enough quantities to create interesting "ink blot" type designs on your shirt? And finally, are you able to consume an inhuman amount of beer and still remain standing? If you can answer yes to these..... then you, my friend, are ready.
Chris	Matsunaga...you play a rendition of some Ottmar Liebert crap or anything like "Turn, Turn, Turn" by The Byrds...and you die a ninja death. heed my words ninja scroll.
