I do believe Tuesday was the day of choice, and since I came to musikarero's rescue, I nominate him/put him on the spot.

Well lets see.....I had Chinese today at a local place my wife and I eat at a lot. I even tried frog legs........boy was that a mistake! I only ate one. The pepper chicken was great though! Okay for my topic.....and I'm a little embarrassed to let this out but is anyone else hooked on "The Iron Chef" as much as I am on the Food Network?? If you haven't seen the show it comes on the weekend on Saturday nights I think or maybe Sunday. Anyway it is a cooking face off show between two chefs dubbed in english from Japan. Both chefs have one hour to prepare a certain type of food to be judged at the end of the show by critics. Why I like this show I have no idea other than the voice actors crack me up. My wife loves the show and I got hooked on it too from watching it with her. Another show I like a lot is "Most Extreme Challenge" also dubbed to english from Japan. This one is on another network and is sort of like a physical challenge competition. The stunts in this one are hilarious and the voice actors are funny as hell too. Well thats my topic for the thread. I mean what else is there....guitar, food and tv...

Actually, I was asked by Norm to do todays "blessing" if you will.
May your guitar stay in tune and your hands remain steady
May your amps play strong and a gig for you is ready.
May the lunch you scarf down not get stuck,
I just broke a string...................WTF?!?!!
Best I could come up with.....sorry fellas. Hope all is well on this Tuesday's lunch report.
I had an awesome pork chops with rice lunch. Made lovingly by my wife (thanks dear... ) who made sure to give me a knife and fork. Did not know what to do with these implements...for I am a man for Christ's sake!! LOL.
Today's homework ladies and gentlemen is to answer the following:
We all either play in a band, want to, have played before in a band, etc....the question is what would be your ultimate once in a lifetime show that you could do if given the opportunity?
Me, well, I am not the greatest guitar player in the world by any means. Like I said before, I was a drummer. Not to toot my own horn, I wasn't that bad at it. But for guitar, I would want to do a show similar to the G3. I would want to play onstage with Satriani, Vai, Petrucci, and my all time favorite...Paul Gilbert. Of course, in reality, I would probably wet myself just given the chance to re-string and tune their guitars.
Hope all is well with everyone.

All is well here.
Kraft dinner, juice, apple and raw carrots and some pudding with the kids today. Made lovingly by their dad who actually works in a French Restaurant.
Iron Chef: Been watching that for a few years now. I like the quotes at the end sometimes it doesn't translate very well. I remember some famous Japanese actress saying "that it is so silky! It tastes like there are eight virgins in my mouth"
Most extreme challenge is funny but I am pretty sure the dubs aren't correct though. Pretty funny to see the wipe outs.
The Dream: I don't know, just to feel what it is like to play in front of 10,000 people who all think you are a guitar legend would be an awesome feeling.
The reality: I'm lucky if my daughter will sing the Barney song when I play.
I usually hear "can you turn it down ? The kids are going to bed"
or when I am just started and doing some warm up scales "What is that ? Can't you play anything else?"
"Can't you guys find anywhere else to rehearse ?"

Lunch and Migranes.
A retrospective.
Around 9:45 this morning I started feeling the heinous buzz of a migrane coming on, patched myself up with 2 Excedrin Mg's washed down with a can of Coke. Man, I almost couldn't eat lunch.
Lunch = Subway turkey sammich and cheddar sunchips delivered to my desk by the girl.
Thru the yaddahaze of work and migrane-pain...I daydreamed about that Petrucci and how I'm going to have it in hand shortly. Found another one on ebay, but I missed bidding on it. Similar setup in Pearl Redburst, made me think I'll wait till I need a 7 string to get one of that finish, as I sell off a few more unused components, power amps, and guitars, methinks I'll pickup a Sapphire Black too. Woo.

Lunch: cheese & branston sanwiches, made by my brother, washed down with a glass of diet coke (even though i'm a small guy...) and accompanied by an episode of Family Guy (the one where y2k bug destroys most of civilization!)
Dream gig: Theres a place called the Wolverhampton Civic Centre which holds about 2,000 people, I'd love to play there one day. In reality, our band lost its singer a few months back so even playing the back room of a pub seems like a far away dream at the moment...

Lunch was a bowl of oat bran flakes, or as we like to call it, Colon Blow.
I would just like to get up on any stage, play a few songs that I've written, and have people like them. That's it.
The reality is that my singer is flaky, and I'm not sure the the rhythm section is into what I'm writing. My stuff is sounding REMish, they're more into funk. We'll see what happens...

Lunch was a Cinnimon and Raisin bagle with a solid slab of Old Cheddar stuck in it - and some carrots, an apple, orange juice and a litre of Perrier to wash it all back... yum!
My wife gave me a "custom" G4 shirt for my 40th birthday that has Satch, Vai, JP and ME playing under the lights together... She took an old pic she had of me playing and photoshopped it into a G3 pic for the front, then threw a list of fictitious concert dates on the back, made up of places I jokingly have mentioned I'd like to visit (Tuk-Tee-Yuk-Tuk, Tierra del Fuego, Sydney AU, the Gallapagos Islands, etc.). It was pretty funny - I wear it on my birthday now (so it's been worn three times!) I'd love to make that shirt real, but I'd be sorely outclassed by the other players...koogie2k said:

I skipped lunch today but I'm about to tear into some home made beef stew.....humm! Hey Jimi any way you could post that pic?? We would all love to see that one!!
We were looking around for an electronic copy about a year ago so I could put it up on my website, but my wife thinks her only copy went bye-bye when she did a big HD clean up at work - I might be able to scan a pic of me wearing the T-shirt, tho'... I'll check it out...musikarero said:
