OK HELP... let's preplan the arrival!

[Kuz]

With my recent purchase, I need some pre-planing of the arrival on Weds/Thurs.

 

PLAN A

 

-Get home from work a little early and hope FED EX is on time for the quick slip & tuck downstairs

-Cut open box after all are asleep that night

-Giggle like a school girl until early in the morning

 

PLAN B (unfortunately more likely)

 

Answer the dreaded answer from Mrs. Kuz... "Is that a NEW GUITAR???!!!! >

 

                      Some on my possible answers Yes, but.... Rob's SUPER super is bigger and more expensive!

 

                                                              Yes, but... Brent said it was OK. (and I can sleep at his farm for a few days if you want to cool off a bit)

 

                                                              Yes, but.... Hey let's go antiquing and visit your sister's for the weekend

 

                                                              Yes, but.... Randy got one for free, they felt bad I didn't win and gave me a GREAT price

 

                                                              Yes, but...  Hey would you like to order one of those longenberger baskets?

 

                                                              Yes, but it was free from the HOC tour, but the bill from the tour was more than we thought

 

                                and my personal favorite..Yes, but the other two were gold tops, made from gold, so obviously they were much more expensive. So I ordered this cheap one, look they didn't even paint it a color!!!

 

HELP QUICK!!!

You can have both FedEx and ups deliver your packages to an alternate location (my house) and then come play it when ever you like...

This one seems to work well...

 

 

Abruptly point in the direction of the nearest window and squeal with the enthusiasm of a schoolgirl strung out on Lucky Charms,    "Oooo!!    Loook!  Bird!!"  ;D

[Thundersteel]

Make sure FexEx/UPS delivers champaign and flowers at the same time. A bit of jewelry wouldn't hurt, either.

 

"Wow, honey, it came with a diamond bracelet around the headstock--how thoughtful is that?"  ;D

[Kuz]

I'm digging the creativity, I just like Mike's (cheaper) plan better

[cod65]

Start singing 'This is a Man's World' and slowly strutting thru the kitchen. When you get near the back door ...... run!

[brentrocks]

i like the "randy got one free" option ;D

[big bob]

I know tell her you won it in an ebay auction that "you didn't plan to win"

worked for Brent.. ;D ;D

Oh, trust me with time to think, that is in the top 3 !!!!!!

 

I like the guerrilla tactic of major distraction and run like hell downstairs too !!!!

 

 

Keep them comming. I'm getting a little nervous, she has got that look today.....

[brentrocks]

i always say, "he honey, at least i'm not spending half the week in the bars drinkin' with my buddies!"

[yoslate]

Uh...John....  My "preplanning" began about a year-and-a-half  before  FedEx came around the corner!  I'd start (albeit you're very late) by getting all the other guitars out of sight (that'd be out of reach, too) first.  I'm thinking not laying any groundwork was a major tactical error!  I could draw some parallels to the current Iraq escapade, but I'll spare you that.  But you may have to make some concessions here Bush couldn't imagine!  Best of luck!  Hope you don't do a Hoffa!

 

Rob 

[Gitfiddler]

Tell wifey that you ordered the guitar almost 2 years ago from Heritage, and that you totally forgot about it until now.

 

 

 

OK, I know that is lame and will probably result in her insisting on you seeking counseling.

Rob 

 

Yes, but I have an exit plan, BRENT's PARENTS FARM!

 

(right about now Brent's thinking, "Ah, that Kuz is getting a little too close to me my family, might end up like 'What About Bob?' ")

 

And Rob thanks for the overwhelming vote of confidence and "It'll be alright Kuz"??!!! I thought this was an enabling happy place. If you guys don't come up with anything more creative, thought provoking, or last just say "sly enough to get me through this" she just might let me hang out with all you "good influences" all the time! :P ;D

[mars_hall]

You've traded guitars with a buddy.  He just hasn't come to pick it up yet.  You'll give him a call and see "what's up". 

 

The trick is to get more than 10 guitars so she won't be able to remember them all ;D

Ah, (embarrassed) I have fulfilled the second part of that plan :-[

Don't think you want to use that one.  :wink:

Hey wait... how'd I get into the excuse bucket.  Wives talk, ya know.  They have their own forum over there called 'my husbands a guitar nut, how do I deal with it'...  now most of ya'll didn't know about this, so keep it hush/hush.  I only know cause I found my wife one night on it and I peaked.

 

But, since you MAY have to get a good excuse, just say, 'well, I'm only holding it for Randy... it's not mine, really it's not'  (hmmm... this excuse sounds familiar for something else when you're a teenager but it's not coming to me...)

 

And that way, I'll just pick it up next time I'm swinging your way so your story holds together.  But don't worry, I'll just bring it with me to next year's gathering and you can bring it home and say you won it!!  I'll take VERY GOOD care of her, I promise  :angel: :angel:

It is worse than that.  I wondered why Linda was so eager to go the the event next year.  By chance I was working on her laptop and found an e-mail from Jim W, I think.  It had a list of several e-mail addresses that I suspect were wives who didn't attend.... and a few who did.  It appears that we have been compromised from with in.  Thank the Lord I don't have any new guitars laying around. 

 

I dug a little deeper and found that the IP addresses for the e-mails were from the following states.  AL, MI, MN, MO, IL, IN, OH, NC, 2 from Ontario, and one from Oakland area. 

 

Cuz, you just thought Stalin was cruel, you are about to experience something truly ugly.  The purges are about to begin.  You guys up there think you know about cold but let me tell you it's been pretty damn cold in this house the last few days.  I suspect it is going to get real cold in Ohio next week.

Sounds like I needed to buy this guitar to defend democracy and our right to pursuit of happiness. Now feel much better. There is a much larger ideal at work here, I'm fighting for every note picking, red white & blue, male guitarist on this planet. Give me my 525 or give me death!

You will be missed my friend...

 

can I have the 525 if I can pry it from your cold dead fingers...

I was joking around after reading Brent's post about "accidentally" winning his ebay. I started singing "Oops, I did it again!" and she was like "Did you buy another guitar?" haha. I am super lucky though, she is pretty cool about it. I never lie to her about them, I tell her when I buy them (before she can see feepay or bank stuff), I don't make excuses and I don't ever let her think I need her permission - this has worked very well (so far).

It really was an accident...i expected my high bid to get blow out of the water.  but i guess getting an almost mint Heritage for $450 was a good kind of accident. ;D

 

I dont lie to my wife about my guitar purchases...she understands the obsession. (as long as the bills get paid) I have been buying and selling guitars for 8+ yrs.  Every time that big brown box shows up on the porch, she says, what did you get now?
