Bubs challenge?

[veatch]

Too close to call.

If we want some real stakes:

Mitch sells first = money from sale goes to Shawn.

Shawn buys first = guitar goes to Mitch

Or more realistic:

Mitch sells first = 25% of the money from sale goes to Shawn.

Shawn buys first = guitar goes to Mitch for 4 months (which is about how long he would keep it anyways...)

The Deal is Struck and Mitch i'm sure will update. Lay your bets out if your wanna. Maybe we can take the wagers and collect them all to the server fund.

 

[Feynman]

Damn, Veatch, that is hardcore. We didn't go that far with it, but I like how you think. Still, we decided it needs to hurt a little.

Here's the deal:

bubs had a resolution to buy only one guitar this year, and a few other things (amp modules, misc stuff). We are focused on the guitar here only.

I had a resolution to acquire a nice amp and Strat, and KEEP them all year. We are focused again on the guitar here (Strat is in the mail to me as I type this). As long as the Strat is not defective or something when it arrives, the wager is official.

The loser is to pay $150 to the HFC fund, and another $50ish gift to the winner.

We would also like to solicit suggestions from the forum for funny/appropriate winner/loser gestures/prizes. Please post some ideas, oh wise and funny ones.

This is going to be difficult.

Feel free to have your own side bets and such, bearing in mind that I seem to be the huge underdog here.

In the unlikely event we both make it ALL YEAR, we'll have to figure out appropriate rewards.

P.S. My local friend just informed that I "would be better off just sending in the $200 right now." Feel the love.

Mitch as long as CMatthes does't sell his Mahogany Vector, its going to be a long year..... I don't suspect an early demize but you should start a Timer. Remember fella's in the event that the World Ends short of the Jan1 2013 we must call that a draw.

I suggest that the display of humiliation should be dawned and mandatory at the next HFC, Hamer meet up this year...

Well, Shawn, I hope the ONE guitar you bought/will buy this year turns out to be worthy.

I believe it arrives today, doesn't it?

 

[MCChris]

Yeah, does that count, or was it technically purchased past year?

All I know is, every time I consider selling mine, I play it, and then I don't feel like selling it anymore.

 

[Feynman]

Oh, it counts.

Nope... That's this year's purchase.

...I'll take it...

As for yours... I'll get it from you soon I predict.

 

[BubbaVO]

So, what are the odds? The Strat from MItch to Shawn by the end of the first quarter(?)

That would be classic. /emoticons/default_laugh.png

 

[MCChris]

Keep telling yourself that and maybe it'll come true!

Come on... We both know how this will end up.

Deal was not final until 1/1/2012 so it counts. Yes, I do believe it drops in today and I can't wait! I needed a long scale and I have a new trem on hold for it.

It is easier to sit on a guitar than to resist the temptation of the next Holy Grail.

 

[cynic]

This challenge is more about maintaining the love for the one's you already have, and no one hates more guitars than Feynman

 

[bubs_42]

But I own my Grail Guitar.... That kinda gas passed already. Everything else is iceing on the cake. 14 weeks ago I gave up cake.... /emoticons/default_wink.png Lost 23lbs and 2 pant sizes since the Hamer Jam in October. /emoticons/default_smile.png

 

[Feynman]

Well, there's a new sig block...

Wow!

That wasn't too long ago!

You must have been eating a shitload of cake!

 

[backinit]

Feynman could pull this off with the appropriate behavior modification.

Who am I kidding?

You can't win if you are A) betting against the house /emoticons/default_cool.png betting with professionals or C) predicting rational behavior from lunatics.
