... but she doesn't get it.
Probably just as well. This is from an actual conversation I had earlier today while congratulating NGD's on this very forum:
Me: Damn.. Another one of my PRS buddies got a guitar from his girl.
Her: You know I'm going to buy you a guitar some day when I have money, baby.
Me: That's sweet, honey. Do you know what I would want?
Her: Santana!
Me: Yeah! Well a West St. LTD to be exact.
Her: Or something hollow? You talk about those a lot, but it's gotta have a whammy thingy.
Me: Yessir! (thinking I'm getting somewhere, or at least planting a seed) You know who to call when the time comes?
Her: Paul Reed Smith! (good girl!)
Me: Yeah, but you gotta call a dealer. You can't just call PRS up.
Her: Oh... a dealer? Okay, I know, I'll call Hans! (she actually thinks Hans is my dealer)
Me: No. You wanna call DFD.
Her: Who?
Me: Doug (f@ckin') Diamond. He works at Wild West. (shows her DFD Into The Vault video)
Her: Uhh... Why does he talk like that? Eww.. What is that guitar? It has two necks, that's gross it looks like a siamese twin guitar. I'm not getting you that. Those are dumb. That neck looks weird, it has too much zebra-striping looking wood, I think you'd like something plain. Ugh, not sure about that one either, I don't like the gold or that paisley case, I'd get you a black one. Ooh! Look at that blue one! I like the color on that, I know you don't like blue, but that looks really, really cool. I think I want you to build me a blue-jean guitar. (Youtube jumps to a different video) Wow, that Gibson looks pretty! Didn't you used to have a guitar like that? I like that. These are expensive, wouldn't you rather go on vacation with me? I think that's a better idea. I want to go to France, or someplace tropical, you like fruity drinks and palm frond trees. We should go to Vegas, we can get Celine Dion tickets! I love Silly D. Tickets are only a few hundred bucks apiece, that's really reasonable. I know it's funny but I'd love to see Brittney when we're there too! Oh, and clothes, I'm gonna need new clothes before we go. What do you think of these plaid shirts? I know you don't like blue but I think it'll look cute with some jeans, it gets cold there at night you know? Oh, we gotta stay at the Paris hotel! It'll cost a little more, but totally worth it. See? Don't you think a vacation and the memories we make there will last longer than a guitar? I think we should go. Lets see how much tickets are.... Hey! where are you going?
Me: I'm just gonna use your bathroom real quick, babe.
