Haven't Been Banned Yet:

I had a girlfriend who had probably the worst experience I ever heard of and lived to tell about it.
Her now deceased husband came home one night and something set him off to a point where he shot her multiple times in the face, torso and legs then beat her on the head with the gun as she was trying to sleep in bed. He then turned a 9mm on himself and expired. She called 911 on herself, took a copter ride to Maryland Shock Trauma and was miraculously saved once they got the bleeding stopped after she went through 130 units of blood. Years later after I met her, she complained of a toothache. Dentist said nothing wrong with her teeth. She told me he thinks maybe some of the remaining bullet fragments in her face are what is doing it. I saw the X rays and could not believe that stuff was still in her head. The one he used on her was loaded with 22 Hollow points. One bullet even went thru her nose and exited over by her ear. How the heck could none of the shots hit her brain is beyond belief for me.

Ah the fun of youth and exuberance......but that was the last time I went "surf boarding" (skateboarding with a rope---puled behind a Dirt bike on the street)

I am guessing I owe nurse Satan a debt of gratitude ----she was evil --- but she got all the gravel bits out! :)

I have lead from a sharpened pencil "arrow" battle in third grade ---- its in my left wrist --- tiny little reminder of youthful stupidity.

I also have pencil lead in my left middle finger from 7th grade...same deal...did you ever do the sissy test rubbing your arm or hand with an eraser 100 times? That always left a nice scar...
 
Huh.

And all I did was jump out of trees and play with snakes and crayfish.

I don't have any lingering pencil leads or gravel lodged in my flesh.
 
One of my coworkers was shot at point blank range by a would be carjacker. The gun, pointed right at her face through the car window, the idiot pulled the trigger while he was saying "get out of the car." The bullet hit the crosspiece of her eyeglasses' frame and deflected into the headliner. She was too pissed to be stunned and grabbed the gun and put two rounds in his gut and waited for the cops. Big concussion didn't affect her until the adrenaline wore off. Her advice, don't get the cheap frames, she swears by Dolce and Gabbana tortoise shell.

LOL! No...back then, i got an email threatening me with getting banned for "Gibson bashing ," but it wasn't from TTR staff. This post (back then) was a jab in the author's eye so to speak.

I still get a few negative mails (no secret there as I've posted my address) berating me for posting about "your stupid guitars, " and things like "nobody cares about your mom's stupid studio," etc., but everyone has a right to their opinion and I know my personality is somewhat abrasive too.

The worst all came from "thesauceisboss@hushmail.com and the IP is a TOR exit node.

Go figure...

I will tell you that building/contracting/commisioning these Von Herndon prototype's sure generated more negativity than I ever expected. I've heard everything from accusations that I am "infecting" a perfect guitar (Tele) with the Gibson scale, or that everything I'm doing has already been done a thousand times, and perhaps it has, but it's still been a fun project.

I have simply dismissed the author's premise that he is acting on behalf of TTR membership. I figure, if you fellows don't like me, there's an ignore feature... :-)
 
My IP address is banned on the Gibson.com forums.
It would seem I asked too many embarrassing questions,
then I made the "pancake flipper" post. That was the end.
