Kind of cool looking! I am a lefty, but can't play lefty to save my life... and so any potential GAS has been averted for now.

the ritual search for stuff I don't need

During counseling for this type of behavior, the first thing my therapist said to me was "Stay away from the LBO!" ;)

And then you told him how many more basses you could buy if you stopped spending so much money on a therapist. :)

I went to my doctor; I said, "doctor, it hurts when I do this" (waves).

The doctor said "Don't do that!" (waves)
