Sorta friend playing REALLY bad guitar in my living room. What do I do?

[KyndCulture]

Invited himself over and now he's singing... Santa Monica.

My boyfriend is mildy tolerating him at this point. Looking at me longingly to help him. Thus far I've refused... what should I do?

[Robeson]

1. Tell him you have a piercing headache that has been killing you all...

...day, and what you really need is some silence...

[NNadir]

2. Do that John Belusi bit from "Animal House."

[barb162]

14. you beat me to it; it's the only solution

[ZombieNixon]

3. Punch him in the nose.

Trust me, it works. :evilgrin:

[Robeson]

4. Also, ask to borrow the guitar. Tell him there is a kick-ass Hendrix...

...impersonation you'd love to try out on it....

[KyndCulture]

6. *LOL* that's a plan!

[gmoney]

5. be thankful you have a friend and a relationship

...and that you're not going to get clobbered by a hurricane...

[KyndCulture]

7. I thought i was in the lounge, I musta missed my exit.

Do you need a kitten? I do so lets share...

[gmoney]

11. Yeah, I could use a kitten

didn't mean to be a downer, but hey, why not suffer fools gladly? Why not sing along? See if he knows "Take it Easy" by the Eagles or "Wild Thing"...

I just appreciate now the silly things that I used to let me "rule out" people who weren't cool enough to hang with me. Now I'm SO fuckin' cool, NOBODY wants to hang with me.

On the brighter side, I did get an e-mail I've been waiting for all week regarding plans for the weekend, so my frown is turning upside down.

But I still think you should be a friend and let the guy play, tell him it was terrible, and trade him a beer for the guitar and put it away.

[KyndCulture]

12. That's why I'm in here on DU and not in there...

I'm actually trying not to think about the impending diaster of Rita.

I'm letting him play. I turned up the radio, I'm in another room.

Poured another coffee, grabbed my kitty (pictured oh so cute above)... and decided he can stay.... ibuprofen is my friend.

:)

[Robeson]

13. If I may be so bold as to jump into your conversation with gmoney....

...I just wanted to say, that picture of your kitty is cute as hell. I have a Tortie, so they're cousins!

[KyndCulture]

19. Calicos are cute as hell and vile beasts...

leave it to my kitty...she just broke up the jam session...

enough hissing and spitting at someones feet will do it.

YAY for my beast cat!

[Robeson]

21. See.....

...Cats are our best friends...;-)

[Fox Mulder]

8. Send him down to Morris.

I've been alone all day and I'm kinda lonely.

No one has visited me since...last week. :(

[Gregorian]

9. Grab your tambourine. Castinettes will also work.

Or put on a Barry Manilow album.

If that doesn't work, pull out a Bible and start reciting verses.

If all else fails, invite your neighbor's pit bull over.

[Az]

10. This

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. grab a wire cutter and break all the strings

[Az]

18. Don't need a wire cutter

Just start cranking on the tuning knobs. Snap whap bang. Be careful either way. I once had a bass guitar string nail my arm during a concert (standing next to me the guitarist). You don't want that pain.

[radwriter0555]

16. Go put on your pajamas and walk back out into the living room brushing

your teeth and yawning...

He SHOULD get the hint.

If he doesn't, remind your honey that's it's his turn to get the blowjob tonight.

[progmom]

17. bite him

works for me every time. ;)

[libnnc]

20. You say "Dude! How could I let you play..."

"that guitar with those lousy, rusted, crappy strings, and it's sooooo out of tune...!I couldn't possibly let you play that guitar in such a horrible condition! No Way!"

might work...:shrug:

[KyndCulture]

25. Indra - goddess of thunder - wonder calico broke it up!

yay for my cat! She tried to eat him.

[WCGreen]

22. Well...... Thank him and say that was great...

then tell him you got other things to do....

[NNadir]

23. Is he still there?

[KyndCulture]

26. Yes but thankfully sans guitar watching a Ben Harper DVD...

this I can handle! :)

[WCGreen]

29. Crisis over.....

[LynneSin]

24. Yawn and tell him you're getting ready for bed

works everytime

[Az]

27. Get him one of these

My brother has a band that practices in our basement. They are actually pretty good. But in a typical expression of brotherly love we put a card with the above at the top of the stairs.



Yes they know we are kidding.

[KyndCulture]

28. ROFL... omg... that's exactly what I need.
