Guitars and Bikes

[will]

Jerome will understand. Others might. I'm asking for all opinions.

As a minimum, a whole person must have five bikes. To be a whole person, you must have five guitars as well. We have discussed the exact nature of this conspicuous consumption to achieve wholeness elsewhere. What is important is finding out which is more important.

Achieve wholeness through five bikes first?

Do bass guitars count?

Of course bass guitars count. Thats like asking "Do motards count?"

I believe that the path to wholeness is purely a function of what she is willing to tolerate. If she doesn't come into the garage, but objects to all that damn racket, the bikes might be the way to go. If she "worries about you," you might take the approach that guitars are much, much safer, and therefore, worth having a couple more of.

YMMV, of course.

Sorry guys, gimme a Gretsch candywine thin shell set with roto-toms and some Sabian cymbals

and 5 bikes.

Well a drum kit has more than five discrete targets for pounding on, so it is a path to full enlightenment in a single package. This assumes you can actually play it. Those of us who are not drummers have a more complex path to nirvana.

I'm relieved to know bass guitars count. I'm deficient in both bikes and guitars, but not as deficient as I would have been if motards and bass guitars were not acceptable as part of the path.

Five guitars might happen before five bikes. They are cheaper.

Gretsch?



We also have five guitars (seven if you count the banjo and the mandolin) so we are complete, assuming we are the sum of our parts.

I see a Lite Beer/ NASCAR sign and a Route 66 sign on the wall behind you, but no jackalope. Lite Beer/NASCAR signs require a jackalope in the same room or nothing counts.

Jim keeps the jackalope behind the bar. You can get it with gravy for $4.99.

Mmmm! I love a good jackalope with gravy!
