In my case you'd need a tape-measure.

[jeffhx]

y not by weight?

[iiholly]

Bah i'm starting to drink as per usual. I'm sooo bored as well. I'd make this longer, but I need to use the potty.

[Leedogg]

Good question. I think it's measured by one's self, and since I'm the kind of person who is never satisfied, I'll keep improving until I'm dead never being where I think I should be....this turned morbid..

[jeffhx]

its a never ending journey to perfection.... i feel one with my axe.... :D

[rockonn91]

You mean it's not?

[jeffhx]

[jeffhx]

i had a dream that i dreamnt i killed someone...weird...and in the dream i was so worries that the cops were going after me i became anxious...the worst part... in my dream i was walking pass the scene of the crime...i was with a bunch of my friends and suddenly there was this huge number of people dressed in vegetable and bird costumes running abt...they were trying to scare ppl... and online i told one of my closest buddies that i killed someone...no reply...

thats all i can remember as i just woke up... but weird...i know dreamns are meant to be weird but this is...weridly interesting...

[Lordathestrings]

WTF??? :confused:

[jeffhx]

sry...it was too engaging....and im bored

[Cryptic Excretions]

I've had four dreams that have included MacGyver.

[jeffhx]

creepy... and yay...ive reached my 200th post! wicked

[rockonn91]

i had a dream a while back where i bet my brother he couldnt drink a glass of root beer mixed with soy sauce.

and he got a brilliant idea to use some sort of filter that would let the root beer thru but not the soy sauce. and the only filter that would do this was my favorite pair of pants. so he stuffed my pants into this glass and drank it all. and because i lost the bet, i had to eat my pants.

yeah... i got a pretty big hole right over the crotch area. then i stopped cuz i was sad that i had to eat it. and it kinda tasted like cardboard.

[Infectious]

That's crazy rockonn...I had the same dream. But it was my favorite pair of underwear...and man...I WISH it had tasted like cardboard. I would've killed for that luxury.

In the vein of philosphical questions, what happens to your soul when you get banned from GT?

It may be postulated that anyone who deserves such a fate was bereft of soul to begin with. :p

And that raises much question. Is there life after GT?

[earthman buck]

And that raises much question. Is there life after GT?
GT is life, and life is GT. Saying there is life beyond GT implies there is GT beyond GT. Parallel GT universes? Perhaps.

Deep.

[acapella]

GT isn't life. GT is for people who HAVE no lives. Like me.

Unless you say guitar is life. Then, since I devote pretty near every waking moment to guitar or GT, or thinking about one of those, GT is for me because I DO have life, and a life. So GT IS life, and life is, in fact, GT.

I like GT :)

[Cryptic Excretions]

Does that mean that we were all dead until the internet was created and put out to the public? So a fitting question to rebuttle that would be was there life before GT?

[acapella]

Yeah, there was. It just wasn't worth living.

[Cryptic Excretions]

But that contradicts the GT = life theory. If there was life then, then there must've been GT. But how could there be GT if there was no internet?

[magicninja]

OK then Cryptic I propose a new theory. GT>life.

[jeffhx]

been feeling like crap really...terrible headaches...cant sleep.... i go to uni like a zombie... i only managed 2 hrs of sleep last night.... the same previous night....its a nightmare...a lot of things go through my mind...either its lyrics for some song, or some weird nonsensical imagination...its irritating the crap out of me... maybe i need psychological help.... despite me studying that right now.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :mad: :mad:

[acapella]

Well, that settles that debate.

GT is not life, it is the thing that makes life worth living. was there life before GT, yes, because we didn't know what GT was, but now once we have it, it can never be taken away, for if it is, our lives would be meaningless. and we would destroy ourselves for fear of the unknown, the unknown being life without GT.

we should start a GT cult.. I'd participate in mass suicide for GT..

But if there was life before GT then that life would ultimately be meaningless. That means that generations after generations waded through a meaningless existence. Natural selection would have surely killed us off before GT came around, especially if we weren't going anywhere or doing anything. So how? How, I ask. How did we come into an existence with meaning/GT if we grew from something that yielded nothingness?

[magicninja]

Again I say GT>life, hence we didn't come into existence, we became enlightened.

It's called evolution. Man was created for the sole purpose of getting smart enough to one day create GT. That day was finally in sight when our Lord and Saviour Jon Broderick came into existence. Now that we have had a taste of GT, we can never be without it, as 6strngs said. We would curl up and die. Who among us can honestly say we would live meaningful lives without Akira's picture-fueled wit, Ninja's intense wisdom, and Jolly's knack for the ridiculous? No, we would simply dry up and blow away.

It's truly the only way. You go first, my friend. :)

Those that witnessed the and that's it saga know I'm all for evolution, but my question is if we begin as a meaningless thing can we evolve into something that has meaning? Sure we pinpoint meaning to ourselves, but our existence is still serendipitous. If there was no GT before then we had no meaning, but now that we have it we've evolved into something that was intended and with a purpose?

[magicninja]

I still like my theory best.

yes i agree... we have made a huge impact on the lives of other guitarists... including meeee!!! and together... we shall bring to the world...the joys...of the guitar...

[magicninja]

It's very buddhist.
I'm yet to attain super intergallactic oneness, and have no medallion of spirtual accomplishment.

[acapella]

You know what I think? I like GT a lot. But if I, say, got banned, I'm sure I would find something else to fill my time. Like, actually PLAYING the guitar. Or doing work at school. I lived before GT. Now that I have it I don't want to lose it, but if I did I wouldn't kill myself.


Oh, who am I kidding! NEVER LEAVE ME GEEEEEEETEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cryptic Excretions]

This blasted website's like heroin. I leave a window open while I'm at work all day and every so often I'll pop it up and place my comments. And by every so often I mean a lot.

[acapella]

That's what I do any time I'm ever on a computer. Ever. That's half the day at school, then most of the evening at home. Then ALL night and into the morning on weekends. I sometimes do other stuff while I'm at it. But rarely.

[Cryptic Excretions]

Sometimes I wonder how Jon feels having such a cult-like following in his forums.

[6strngs_2hmbkrs]

so if Jon Broderick=God, what are the other mods? like angels? guardian angesl that guard us from people like fingersofflame that want to destroy what we have.

Akira, you are officially the king of funny pictures. I don't care how you get them, I will never doubt your ability. A super hero is truly in our midst. I laughed out loud, Akira. Rep for you as well.
