Christmas and stockings

Bob-Dubery

Happy Festive Season to y'all.

I wonder what guitaring things have been put on Christmas lists?

I was going to ask for "being able to bend strings like Jerry Donohue", but I settled instead for "being a DADGAD master" with, if there's space in the stocking "Jimmy Page's blues licks."

This is not a Robert Johnson at the crossroads type deal. It's far more blessed to give than to receive, so I'm sure the conferrers of these gifts would not be expecting me to sign my soul away.

I thought I'd ask Santa for a couple of easy things, as there's clearly not going to be enough Petrucci and Satriani licks and techniques to go around.

I posted my list in the thread going over in the off topic lounge: What do YOU want for christmas?. Although that's really my wishlist for next year, as I'm in a fortunate enough position to not actually need anything for Christmas.

I think the skill things (of which there are many) are more to do with my new year's resolutions, rather than being things I have to sell my soul to Santa to get. ?

So that is how Santa get his elves... I've always wondered why they would willingly live in the coldest place on earth working their fingers to the bone...
So kids, don't sell your soul to Santa, it's not all milk and cookies.

Oh come on! We all know that the earth is hollow, and that where maps show the north pole to be there's actually a bloody great hole through which flying saucers commute between wherever they come from and the world-inside-the-world where it's warm and the girls are pretty and Ibanezes grow on trees. THAT is why Santa is always so bloody happy.

...ooon the big rock candy mountain. ?

I would agree with EC that Robert Johnson never did sell his soul. And if he did, it must have been to Santa to get a G5 ?

You can't possibly be serious. We all know there's no such things like flying saucers, and that Santa's deer take his sled quite easily through that hole. ?

@Bob - That is so oldschool... I recently saw a Terry Pratchett documentary that showed exactly what earth really looks like on the back of a giant turtle. But all the scientist in the world still can't figure out the sex of this amazing creature. :? we should ask Santa to fly down there and check it out.

What !?? have you guys been eating those little mushrooms that grow in the basement again ??

Must be, because the trees would have Fender and not Ibanez growing on them!

I've actually been there, got abducted by a flying saucer once...the girls are pretty and they have kaleidoscope eyes. And it's Ovation 12 strings that grow on the trees...(@Alan ?)

CDee

@Riaan - If there were Ovations growing I think you went to Alan's personal HELL!!

And it's Ovation 12 strings that grow on the trees...

...only partly! ?

What??!?!?! They don't have to recycle helicopter rotor blades?

Now that's really far fetched.
