Hey!







I resemble that remark.

I've sent the police over to the house already; admittedly in part to check on her own health as she's refusing to pick up any phones - she hung up in tears after she got her answers from me about the item in question - but also, frankly, to escort her away.

Blow-ups are rare but - believe it or not - "mild anger" for me. She has me in pure raw chilled ice right now.

What was the item? Maybe one of us can help you out. Highly unlikely, but you never know.

You better tell us what it was or I'm starting a speculation thread.

No, my fiancee is on the other side of the U.S. right now which is probably just as well.

Or is she? It's all too convenient. First the housekeeper now this. It all makes sense.

Amazingly, it has to be even more precious to him than vintage Beatles albums, because when they were destroyed, it didn't really phase him.

That's right, they weren't destroyed, they were taken.

Some of you know I play guitar and that my guitar of preference is my Rickenbacker 360/12...an actual vintage model from 1964 (not a replica). It was the first guitar I ever owned and I self-taught myself to play using it; I know...would have made more sense to start on a 6-string (which I didn't learn to play until much later) but not only had I put -a lot- into getting that guitar, but I just figured it was like learning to drive a "standard" automobile first rather than a standard.

I've had it a very long time and it is...was...in incredible condition....except for one little bit of "defacing" that I went through a lot of effort to obtain - a personalized message/autograph written on it by George Harrison (the reason I so dearly wanted to learn - and specifically on that model - in the first place). When my previous fiancee (the one from college/post-grad years) "absconded" with my Beatles' collection, that guitar was one of the few things to escape "The Reaping".

The housekeeper asked me if that guitar - which I keep under -extremely- safe conditions so my curiosity over how anything happened to it is battling with my emotions right now - was valuable. I, of course, tried to explain "Yes." She said, "But it's insured right?" I tried to explain that while there is insurance on it, I'm fairly certain that the money won't cover the cost of the necessary resurrection to re-obtain the message and autograph should I even find a suitable replacement.

As I noted, she hung up in tears and has not answered back since so I have called the police. I can not think of a story with which she can come up with that will justify the loss of the guitar.

Oh, it phased me. It was just years before I "knew" any of you. That and at least those were taken by someone I loved and who was upset with me so that factored into things. Trust me, I'm still going through unbelievable steps to try and slowly replace the collection.

Rumour is, part of that collection was used to pay for her wedding and honeymoon. All I can say is I hope it was one hell of a good honeymoon.

Man, I was making jokes so you could be mad at me instead of her but I'm done. You have my blessing to harm her. Once George is involved all bets are off.

*Twitch* *Twitch*

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGH!

It burns! IT BURNS!

Demons in skull! Crying for vengeance! GRAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Oh. My. Gosh.

I would FLIP OUT. That is...that is just too shocking for words.

Rokk, I really hope she gets what's coming to her/it's something easily fixed.

I was gonna post a picture of Ghost Rider going "VENGENCE WILL BE SERVED!" but I couldn't find a good one.

It's, sadly, not easily fixed.

My silence for the last hour or so has been because I've been speaking with the police. It's a long story that I don't think I'll be discussing tonight - though I will note criminal charges are going to be filed against someone (no point in civil suit against a person without the money though) - because, honestly, as stupid as it sounds I'm ready to weep over the guitar (it was with me a lot of years so laugh all you want but there was huge sentimental value attached to it and not just because George had written on it)....it's shrapnel now.

I'll try to salvage some of the parts once they're released to me - I've been meaning to build a guitar for some time so we'll see if I can use any of it (and, yes, it had a name but I've set myself up for enough mocking) - but....yeah....

How the heck do you accidentally smash a guitar into little tiny pieces? I could understand maybe scraping the bottom or something, but that's just ridiculous.
