[HALLOWEIN] Tricked HARD by a fucken kid, I now get the spirit of this observance!
Yesterday a kid came to my door asking for treats but I'm a grumpy antisocial professional guitar player and luthier so I didn't give him any and told him to go bother someone else. He said "Then I am afraid I have to trick you, good sir" then took out from his backpack a mint condition R9 Les Paul with which he played a slightly out of tune Wonderwall with a slightly incorrect strumming pattern. Holy fuck I don't know how I managed to bore it. My heart was broken, I was on my knees, in tears. Now I'm taking Xanax. I learned my lesson: tons of treats for every kid from now on.
