OK. I own up. That's my photo and my addiction, but I can now raise you one. How about when you are so addicted that you get your friends to look out for stuff for you. This happened:
A friend of mine was shopping for olive oil. I had asked her to keep the bottles with the long necks. She was looking at all the different types and a man said to her, "this is a good one if your not sure which to choose" and she turned to him and said "Thanks, but it's the wrong shape", which must have confused the hell out of him. He will probably never talk to anyone in a supermarket again, and wonders what shape olive oil should be.
Watch out. This stuff's infectious.

you are constantly sitting with a CBG either on your lap or around your neck even if you have no intention of playing at that point (although these points should really be few and far between)

Had to bring this thread back to life. Went to a concert down at the beach tonight (Good Blues/Jazz group). Had to use the public restroom. While standing there looking down, thought the metal strainer in the bottom of the urinal would make a cool soundhole cover.
Lord, please help me.

Maybe next week if I remember to bring a screwdriver (and rubber gloves). Though, if I get caught and arrested, how do I explain it? And if I do snag it (or 8 of them), would I tell prospective customers? "Oh, yeah, the soundhole cover is out of a public urinal." Sounds real classy. LOL.

Well................... Did you Snag it?
You see a can of pre-sweetened Mango tea in the Dollar Store-
-when suddenly, without warning, you see it in your mind. An imitation Strohviol! The can will be the bridge and resonator both, just like a Canjo. In order to get a proper intonation at the 12th fret mark(and it WILL be marked!) you'll need to place the can on a small, movable platform then screw or glue it later just like a guitar bridge...then enclose it in a cigar box for extra resonance and a mellower sound...flat-wound giutar strings tuned to a chord (the design has already mutated into a small cello)...maybe some soupcans grafted onto the soundhole in the box for a true directional sound just like the real thing....
...and when your head clears(after a mental inventory of how many 0.50 garden stakes you have left and if you're out of wood glue) you realize you have four 20oz cans of Mango tea in your bag-one for the prototyping, two in case of errors and one for a neat little Canjo.
Also, you have no idea if you like Mango Tea.
(GLUG glug glug glug....)
Meh.
