| Thirteen ways that Mabel met her end
Thanks to L^2 for the new graphic to replace the defunct original! Mitchell has this cheap acoustic named Mabel for those times when it’s not smart to whip out one of his good guitars just to fill his hands. Mabel’s become a legend within ShapeShifter because, being a cheap acoustic guitar, no one takes particularly good care of her. And so, she meets her end in many, many ways, each one memorable. 1. Stepped on (Mabel the first) And, as an honorable mention because it hasn’t happened yet, broken over Mitchell’s head when Kerri gets angry with him. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! |

Wow, thanks, everyone! I had a lot of fun creating this, and when Trevor’s Song comes out, you’ll see some of this in the narrative itself… I don’t want to give anything away, but it’s a fun scene (of course!).BR/BR/I hope you’ll all stop back again soon.

I don’t know which is my favorite demise of Mabel. Although Daniel getting guitar-string burn on his rear is very funny.

*Shocked face*BR/BR/How can you even contemplate doing that to innocent guitars?! I’m appalled. 😀

ls, I thought of you as I posted this and *almost* hijacked your blue guitar picture! Man, it was tempting!!! But your blue guitar is waaaaaaay nicer than all the Mabels put together. BR/BR/Cheesy, Daniel and the guitar-string-burn will be back… have no fear. *wink* BR/BR/And musie, my blog’s eating your comments so that you come back more often, of course! (actually, make sure you get the word verification right before you close the window. That might be the problem.)BR/BR/Thanks, everyone! *waves*

Janene’s comment was eaten by blogger, but she said she would have liked to have been around for the demise of Mable the eighth, even if the party was boring. BR/BR/I’d have liked to see the splinters from that one, myself.

I’ve actually written the honorable mention, but it might have been edited out. I’ve written so much about these people, it’s getting a bit overwhelming. We’d better get a book deal soon, so I can move on to some of the other cool people in and around Riverview.

the one about Mabel the sixth cracks me up everytime I see it.BR/And you know I’m visiting here a lot…just don’t start a tab or charging me rent.BR/BR/Oh the one that was left w/a fan..reminded me of what a person told my friend what they would have done w/a musician’s water bottle. :::blush::

NOT going near the water bottle (Hey, I read The Dirt. I know all about these things). Just NOT doing it. BR/BR/Figured someone would get the pun in #6. Maybe more have and just haven’t commented.BR/BR/As for rent, well, what can I say? You’re making my hit counter VERY happy. And for that, I thank you.

Aww, Candy, admit it, you’re jealous that the guitar gets to have fun adventures while we’re stuck at home with husbands and kids. BR/BR/I swear, if I’d known Naked Twister would lead to such imprisonment, I’d have kept my clothes on!!! *grin*BR/BR/Thanks for the cookie, Andrew! Chocolate chip, my fave! *bigger grin*

Candy wants to play naked twister..hopefully not just w/the guitar. LOLBR/BR/I knew you knew about things like the water bottle. BR/BR/I had actually noticed it the first time but like so many things lately, I forgot.BR/BR/I think Lauren’s right or at least it’s in their rider (isn’t that what their list of demands is called?)BR/BR/making a counter very happy and that makes me happy. =)BR/BR/Hey, I don’t have a husband or kid, well except my dog, and he’s naked so I think we’re off to play twister..w/the band. 😉

November 9, 2006 11:48 pm
Not *MY* band, you’re not! *Grin*BR/BR/One day, I’ll do a Thursday Thirteen: Thirteen Things in ShapeShifter’s Tour Rider (you got the term right). It’s on the list, have no fears!

I wasn’t even blogging when this list came out. Now, jumping into Naked Twister was not a wise move – for several reasons.
