Strange Quirks?

Recommended Posts

I read through magazines backwards.

 

I have a theory as to why. When I was a kid, I always enjoyed looking through the store catalogs. These catalogs always had the toys in the back... so I always started at the last page, and worked backwards.

 

Anyone else have any weird habits?

I remember reading Playboy the same way as a very young teenager. The first half of the magazine was the boring articles, while the second half had all the good stuff. So I started from the back and worked my way forward.

Yeah' date=' I dig the pale ones, too. Not exclusively, though--I like ladies of all types.

 

EDIT: OK, that might be too generous. Let's just say that I'm a pretty open-minded dude in terms of women.[/quote']

 

 

Okay, I agree with this on too. :-

I like goth chicks because they are very pale and look like a corpse.

 

"I love the dead before they're cold

Their blueing flesh for me to hold

Cadaver eyes upon me see....nothing."

 

I used to be an undertaker and I think I'd rather have the Goth.

Hey....we're guitar players...we're ALL quirky! [thumbup]

 

Who else would do something that removes the finger prints from the fingers? Except a criminal!. [blink]

 

We play gigs in smoke-filled bars till our eyes burn and our clothes and gear take on a permanent odor.

 

We think we sound better when we're drunk! [wink]

 

We ruin our car interiors by tossing in amps, cases, mic stands, cymbals, etc. [crying]

 

We drive through ten inches of snow at night just to jam with the guys.

 

Walk out on a gig when the bar owner says "HEY...turn down the volume!" [angry]

 

Stare at a girl's a*s on the dance floor....and your wife at the nearest table notices. [blush] ...And you blow the lyrics to the song you're playing.

 

There's more...I have done all of the above! [biggrin] [biggrin]

Well...

 

For what it's worth, I'll wager everyone here puts their footwear on almost exactly the same every day.

 

Almost every human being has little habits they themselves may little recognize, but are seen by others.

 

Even in our guitar playing. I'll wager most of us would be able to recognize some if we watched ourselves on a vid. And that's why the old saying goes that practice doesn't make perfect, it makes habit.

 

I'm going to change the avatar tonight, but that pix of me well over 40 years ago with my sister's first baby clearly shows to me that my right hand just naturally still falls into pretty much the same position over the strings whether I'm playing classical, steel acoustic or various sorts of electrics...

The whole "Goth/Death Metal" thing made me think of this Reverend Horton Heat tune.

Rockabilly guys like hot rod cars

They like hot women and their neighborhood bar

Death metal guys will grow long hair

Work real hard to have an evil stare

They're kind of medieval, those death metal guys

 

Jerry Lee Lewis shot his bass player down

Down to the ground with a .38 round

But death metal guys would have eaten his brains

And people call Jerry Lee Lewis insane

 

Rockabilly guys like rockabilly chicks

Death metal guys think they're all country hicks

But death metal guys still live with their mom

On the Internet learning how to embalm

So they go kill a dog, those death metal guys

 

It's really kind of hard to live in harmony

Hot rod cars and blasphemy

Hair in your face or hair way up high

I'm a rockabilly cat, not a death metal guy

I'm a rocka, I'm a rocka, I'm a rockabilly guy

I'm a rocka, I'm a rocka, I'm a rockabilly guy

Yeah! Whoo!

I'm a rocka, I'm a rocka, I'm a rockabilly guy

And I don't eat brains, like death metal guys

[biggrin]
