If they hadn't sold out, I would say you should take it back and get one of these, instead:

I see they didn't have the guts to post a pic of the real thing. Pussies.

I put out a request to my follower on Facebook to look out for one for me on eBay.

Dayum, that means less moolah for the hemp strings for my El Torro Strat. :cry:

Thank God there's an MLI pooduct for practically every occasion, Terry. :?

Luddite? Oh really? Then how do you explain this moment captured by your Pooparazi?

Well, that must've been the capture you earned the 2017 E-Steamed Grand Poobah of Pooparazzi™ award for. Great work, Billy. :headbang:

However, I stand by my statement that I'm a modern-device luddite. In fact, if you look at my dazed, puffy eyes, you'll be able to tell that I'd been gazing at that thing for hours wondering what it was. The light had even stopped being emitted from it (wassup wit' dat?), so I took it for another deep dive shortly afterwards.

Reality note:
I've still not used a device. Have no idea how to send a text message or even make a 'phone call on a modern "device". Never used a mobile 'phone, iPad or even an iPod. Quite the achievement in this day and age, I'd say.

You don't need a device because you are a telepathic, psychic, deep monkey. You see all via your simian senses. The giveaway is your new logo:

True dat, Billy. The key is focus; just look at my eyes! :lol:

Not quite, Stoivo; I'm on the next-best thing - a Cheese Grater™! :lol:

Hey fellas, I've been able to log in again these past few days. Wonders never cease. :shock:

I'll take it, 'though! :headbang:

So, Mr. Man - or can I call you Monkey. Did you really think we would forget this thread. No way. When you say, "Longest" we take that seriously.

No, seriously.

I have nothing to say, so here it is. Even if there is no topic, that’s off topic, isn’t it?
