Texas A&M? Gig 'em!

Anyway, I'm sorry for being harsh and undiplomatic last night as well. I hope you can stick around, and see why we get so passionate about the product and the Man.

The hammer won't drop Nite but we need to move to a different thread.

This one is about a party and we ruined it. You and I.

Now go to the top and see who started it.

I am the asshat.

Horse Penis and Girls covered in honey !!!?!?!??!?!?!? I WANNA WORK THERE!


Any factory that has all this has gotta be out of this world, oh yeah and no wonder the guitars are so unique!!!!

If there's no pictures, perhaps an artists impresison from those who went!

Here's an idea, you know how you get restraunts with tables in the kitchen ? - you could have a bunk in the workshop and knuckleheads can rent bed space 52 weeks a year ? but they'd have to wear paper suits like CSI so as not to steal anything or hide cameras!!!!

Okay...here is my non-artist visual of the Factory tour.

Step off of Limo Shuttle. Walk into warehouse. On the right is all the beer you can drink. On the left is all the food you can eat. Walk in further and opens up into a room of fancy tables, a big stage and a room with BFR instruments for you to sample. On stage are artists talking about instruments and answering questions the Knuckleheads are throwing at them. Proceed on to the back of the room and a curtained pathway takes you by Bathrooms on the left. Go a little further and you proceed by the employee cafeteria where the employees are offered up free catered lunches daily. Proceed further down to were you will see the hard working employees demonstrating their jobs.....who by the way offered to be their on their day off, to show us how the strings are made, sounds like happy employees to me.... We continue on to the different stations where the employees demonstate the manufacturing and packaging of strings etc. Then we proceed into the warehouse to see where all the products are stored and ready to roll. Then on to the offices where the hard working techs and admins are located. After that we proceed back to our fancy tables to enjoy top of the line Barbeque chicken and ribs and then a private concert from all the artists, including BP himself.....
DOES IS GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.....THANK YOU BP AND STAFF!!!!

That was such a good description it may be like taking a camera in. :)

Bass-sic it was fun hanging out with you and TNT.

Can't wait until we get to meet again and I can't wait until the next factory tour.

You know, Chewie, some threads are like farm-raised catfish, born in a laboratory, fed a bunch of corn and destined to behave like every other catfish in the pond.

And then there are those free-range catfish.

This thread was born to live free and wild, like a, um, catfish.

Whoa. If "flameboy" sees that Y2D, you may have to cuff it to yourself just to keep it. ;) [BTW, that term has been used for a specific forumite who is a flame-junkie/flame-aholoic who just loveslovesloves flamed guitars and necks. But, I won't say his name because then TommyinDelaware would find out. Hahahahahaha! :D]

Sorry my comments were misunderstood guys , I was just looking at things from what I thought was humor and it came off wrong .
This is a tight group and I stir it up but that is never my intention . I get along great on a couple other forums I enjoy but so far i'm walking on eggshells here .

Here is my first post on this forum just so you know who I am a bit.....

http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-guitars/27098-ive-become-ball-holic-too.html

Now I'll sit quiet and go hang myself out in the garage :eek:.
