OT: I love Ebay!!! What is wrong with people these days?
I just had to share this because I cannot believe how completely crazy some people can be.
I have a bunch (10,000) of these guitar picks sitting around getting in my way so I decided to put some of them up on ebay (AUCTION ). This guy from MO got all bent out of shape and started ranting about "These guitar picks when held in the light say F@!@ You on the front of them." The guy is just plain nuts. I dont even know how I would go about printing something that could only be seen when held in the light much less do it just to **** him off. Any way, he left bad feedback for me but check out how I turned it around

Ya, just for kicks I called the guy this morning to ask him about it. I don't know how he could act so serious about the whole vulgar language on the picks thing. The guy is truly a nut job. He "went" and woke his son up to have him read it and confirm what it said but it was just him changing his voice a little. Someone is heading for a padded room and a nice warm straight jacket.

Delt with those kinds of people before. Unfortunately in a more profesional aspect. Be lucky you can blow this nut job off.

man... if that guy is such a nut about $.10c pic then what's gonna happen when he buys a $200 stuffed animal for his son... i'm thinking:
"hello, yes, your stuffed animal is walking around my house, cursing like a drunk shoemaker and drinking vodka out of a bottle, iwant a full refund and my son is here to confirm it"
Vlad.

Maybe it's the same guy that tried to sell his guitar on ebay after taking that famous picture of it. What a whack job.
-- For those people who never saw it, a few months ago a guy took a photo of his guitar while naked. You could clearly see, ah, WAY too much detail on some of the chrome parts. Ebay ran the ad without catching the impromptu streaker.

I know as soon as im done with any of my awsome solos I hold my pick into the air and read what it says. If it says "cream puff" I put it back on the neck. If it says anything else I call up I guy I bought it from on ebay and bitch at him for not holding up the pick to the light to make sure it said "cream puff".
Man I hate those cheap picks with "bad" words on them.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHa
What a fool.
Why would you subject your kid to something like that???
I think CPS has taken kids away for less.
Anyway keep the ebay faith and I hope no fools like that buy my crap.

Get this, the guy just emails me and starts telling me if I do not remove my addition to that auction that he is going to get ebay to close my account. Here is an snipit from his email...
"all guitar players do not go around with filth running from their mouth's, (as on the picks and in our conversation this morning, I may add)."
He then goes on for a page and a half preaching about how I should change my ways and embrace God.
If this all were true I think I would have a much more marketable product then plain guitar picks... I could see it now...
"Play these picks backwards and they reveal a secret evil message..."

My favorite reply to.
"Do you know God our Savior"
is
"We've met, but we run in different circles, and quite honestly, other than cars we have nothing to talk about."
And of course the old standby to.
"Have you found Jesus?"
Is
"I didn't know he was missing. Where did you see him last?"
