FabSwingers.com forum: Waddya do that for man?

I once came in the house from the garden to get a drink of juice. I still had the side cutters I was working with in my hand and as I passed a mandolin hanging on the wall, for some inexplicable reason decided to cut the first four strings right through and made a pinging noise as I did it! Sort of the death throes of a mandolin string. I knew what the result would be I just couldn't help myself! It's the same as when you used to cut the hair off Sindy - no reason - end result - disappointment! So what daft and compelling destruction have you done just for the hell of it and a split second later thought what the f*** did I do that for?

If the mandolin was tuned you're lucky one of the strings didn't take your eye out.

I wasnt close up to it I sort of just pinged it as I went past.... see senseless. Besides, explaining myself without sounding like a lunatic to the disgruntled owner was far worse than injury!

I hadn't realised the mandolin wasn't yours. That's almost unforgivable.

Banjos however are fair game. Vandalising a banjo is to commended whenever possible.

In my defence I pointed out I had bought it as a gift after all... cut no ice.. musicians are weird though... nope that didn't cut any ice either..

Yeah, I once had the odd urge to touch the glass on the front of the fire. Ah, the smell of burning flesh...

...ouch! Same as polishing the dash on your dads car and popping the lighter till it glowed red and you just knew it was daft to touch... it left a horrible white coiled burn!! The stink was vile... but you did it time and time again lol...
