#37 You break a drinking glass and you are reluctant to throw it away in case any part of it can be used for a guitar (any suggestions welcome).
I hope that wasn't a beer pint. We would have to have a funeral.

When you own a chocolate shop and a customer comes in and asks a question about one of the 30 cbg's you have hanging in the store and after ten minutes and a rippin demo you forget you own a chocolate shop.

that's #36.

@B Tal: ever had the "Chocaholics" chocolate? It comes in small, wooden boxes resembling small humidors...

no.35...you're at a critical moment working on a great build, it's time to go to work but you are very tempted to phone in sick....you know you're hopelessly addicted to building CBG's if you do ! (-;

#34  When you gotta find something else to keep your pens in. This one's literally got my name on it!

I'm laughing so hard I'm almost crying at this one!!! Chris Tinker said:
#38 When you discover you're an hour early for a funeral, so you decide to drive to the nearest hardware store to look for bit and pieces you could use. (Happened to me this morning, good job I didn't actually have any money.)
As long as you don't start eyeing up the furniture in the funeral home I think your ok!
No.33 you cut yourself but you don't stop working ...your cbg is almost done. No time for a band aid-you got a handy mans first aid kit- superglue and duct tape!
Re #33:  Remember, it's not work until some blood is spilled!

  No.32.  You love books. You've turned one bedroom in your house into a library. You LOVE your library...

  Until you are kidnapped by a random website called cigarboxnation.com-and suddenly you sell two thirds of your collection,give away another sixth or so, rip out the carpet and foam, use the money from the booksale to buy cheap vinyl tiling...

   And now your bedroom is a workshop, and a whole SHELF is filled with cigar boxes-the paper and fiberboard ones in front, the polished wooden ones in back waiting patiently for you to develop some skill worthy of them....

  Seriously-Whaahappen???
