Popularity rank 36 #181. Driving home from the guitar store

October 23, 2008

RONI: Well, we just maxed out our Visa's to buy two VERY expensive guitars. And I didn't even need a new one...
DAN: Yeah...

RONI: And we're in the same damn band. We'll look like huge TOOLBELTS on stage with our matching guitars.
DAN: Heh, yup...

DAN: It's a lot of debt. But, MAN, that guitar sounds good, huh, Roni?
RONI: Foo... YEAH.

DAN: I think it's possible the PRS 513 Rosewood may be responsible for a good chunk of this "credit crisis" thing we're in.

Popularity rank 38 #174. Low sales resistance

September 19, 2008

DAN: I found the guitar I want online. I sorta wanna buy it in person, but... I haven't been to a store in 5 years.
RONI: Really, why?

DAN: Look around my room, Roni. I have LOW SALES RESISTANCE.
RONI: That does explain why you needlessly own a SEALY POSTURPEDIC.

DAN: No, it explains why that is one of FOUR Posturpedics I own.

RONI: Where do-
DAN: I store the rest in a rat-infested timeshare I bought in rural Alabama.
