Girlfriend bought me a mandolin

[recklessmando]

I like bananas.

[mandolooter]

wow...mine sounds funny too http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif Give it time it may grow on ya...

[olgraypat]

Perhaps you should tell your girlfriend, not us.

[JEStanek]

I can't tell if you're trying to be funny or trolling... I went to your webpage and it looks like your like the mando enough to build some nice things. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt... If size makes an instrument more real try one of these... then you can really blow your own horn!

I love that one Jamie

[Chippster]

Yea, Sal-a-mander
You should probably give that mandolin away and stay with a real instrument.

[Rick Schmidlin]

Wait till next year and you will like your mandolin better,maybe sooner!

[JeffD]

I like bananas.
Because they have no bones!

I think this is somebody leaving their computer unattended and logged in -- Sal Mando's other posts to date are rather more sensible than the troll that started this thread, and more to the point suggest a somewhat longer and deeper familiarity with the mandolin.

Don't know... he replied to my comment? #Perhpas its just some folks have different humor sensibilities... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

OK guys---I had to remove that opening for the thread. It was definitely a misguided attempt at humor under the influence of my friend who has the initials of JD. I thought it would be a silly thread that would go to the graveyard in a few days but it just kept popping up! I won't do that one again. The mandolin is an incredible instrument and I spend more time on it than my "real" guitar. Sorry

[Snakebeard Jackson]

I'm lost what is going on here?
Fruity comments?

[JEStanek]

No the opening post in the thread was meant to be funny but didn't translate well... It has since been deleted and the remnants are like a conversation at a lunatic asylum. Nothing to see here, move along. Move along.

I've played mandolin in a lunatic asylum, one fo the ones woody guthrie used to live at. random fact.

[mandolirius]

How long did they keep you there and when did you get out?

[Jim MacDaniel]

OK guys---I had to remove that opening for the thread...
...which in turn made Jay's post look like the opening -- and a totally wierd opening at that. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

<which in turn made Jay's post look like the opening -- and a totally wierd opening at that.>

It's now the ideal opening to this thread, which reads like some kind of stream-of-consciousness poem. I actually found it pretty funny.

[James P]

Knowing how much I love the mandolin, my girlfriend bought me a guitar. #
I think she's trying to tell me something... #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[picksnbits]

Orange you glad I didn't say banjo?

[mandopete]

Yeah, my girlfriend bought me a mando too. Just don't tell my wife!

I like Tequila.

[JEStanek]

I won't Pete, because she promised not to tell you she bought me a cowbell!

I like grapes.

[Snakebeard Jackson]

we must all never forget this thread.

call it lunatics squeezing fruit.

[gnelson651]

I think you're all fruity!!http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I think I fell into a cyber loony-bin. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

BTW: I like bacon

[recklessmando]

From the fruit's point of view:

[recklessmando]

Oops, probly too big. #Let's try again. Underwater, no one can hear you scream (but your vocal cords get a soothing brine bath).

[CollingsPicker]

ok, ... I have to buy my own mandolins ...

PS. I like Peaches

[mehrsam]

You say "tom-a-to"...

[Keith Miller]

I'm not allowed any more mandolins and I can't afford the alamony payments,
I don't like fruit !!
