I know of another one of these for sale, but the last time I checked, they wanted something like $2000 for it. I assume that's a little steep? |

Feh, there might be a job in marketing for me, eh? :) |

Location: Tampa, FL | I was at Home Depot last night and saw they had already started selling a product called Oriented Sound Board (OSB). I was going to get some but I had a feeling that a 3/4 inch guitar top was going to need a lot of amp'ing if I was going to get any volume. Hey Woody, you ever tried any of this stuff? |

In a single post you have dashed my dream of taking HD in a whole new marketing direction, tripling their exterior grade plywood sales, being invited to become a managing partner thereby securing an income that would allow me to make a less insulting bid on the as new 1597 SMT that just recently appeared on e-bay at a very attractive BIN. So once again I will slink below the murky depths returning to my more mundane mode of mediocrity as I quietly await my next big chance. What do you think the possibilities are for a chrome plated combination swoopy back guitar/omlette pan.
Ron Popeil look out. I can feel the creative juice flowing (or maybe it's just that questionable egg salad from last week).
In a unique example of good old American commercial synergism, Weber and Kamam Music have teamed up to bring you the 2005 Deluxe Stainless Steel Guitar/Barbecue grill/Garlic Roaster combo with the heat resistant neck. This baby has it all. The famous acoustically ehanced shape will have your neighbors salivating as they they hear the crystal clear sizzle of your steaks and, because she's made entirely out of stainless steel (except for the the 5 ply laminated heat resistant neck, guranteed to always stay cool) clean-up is a snap. Hit her with a little Easy-Off and fire her up and cooking residue simply rinses away. Then, after dinner, just disconnect the propane and plug her in to your favortite amp and wow your guests with a little after dinner impromptu entertainment.
Supplies are limited, order now. |

| So where's the beer cooler? Typical of you mad inventor types - you never think of the practicalities.
(Or are you keeping that for the Collectors?) |

Location: Tampa, FL | Ah, Schroeder me lad. Great minds. I see we should collaborate on this project.
As a homebrewer of small merit I can appreciate the need for the odd serving container or two. Anyone on this forum know what the volume of the various bowl depths would be. Preferred dimension would be some form of liquid measure, but I think we could come up with a conversion from projectile Tamales to a more convenient unit. |

| There are 3 internationally accepted measures of beer:-
1. A Doghouse
2. A 10 day silence.
3. A divorce.
Take your pick, but tamales are just too regional. We need to go for the world market. |

I'd respond to this, but I've been huffing the fumes from the stain that Sally made me buy to do the trim that she's forcing me to put up to finish the project that she made me start and I don't think anything I'd have to say on the topic would come across quite right.
:D |
