Daisy Rock Girl Guitars Girly-lookin' electric, acoustic, and bass guitars. I may not be a teeny boppin' little girl. but I want one so badly! Oh my god, they are so cute!
Dammit. If only I were a cute indiepop girl... or a member of the Apples in Stereo... (come on, you know they have one...)

Actually, they don't. Or at least they didn't when I saw them in St. Louis.
I'm sure those guitars are all right, but they're a bit too cutesy for me.

That BunnyBass is flat out the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Will somebody please tell me what "<3 <3" means, as in mcsweetie's post above? I see them all over the place, though most usually in the AOL member profiles of imbecelic cretins wHo WrItE tHeIr EnTiRe PrOfIlEs LiKe tHiS. I presume it's some sort of proprietary Windows dingbat (in both senses of the word) that no other OS on the planet can recognize. Can someone tell me?

They're hearts, aaron. Watch the angst, or you're gonna blow a valve in yours.

Aaron, dude. It's a "less than" symbol combined with a 3.
Methinks you need a Bunny Bass, or at least a soft, plushy animal to play with. You're too angry for a Friday afternoon!
me <3 aaron.

You guys have obviously never played in a band. That bunny bass is 20 pounds! I'd like to see any of you last a few houes with one of those.

Is it just me, or does Bunny Bass look a helluva lot like Hello Kitty with bunny ears?

Bunny Bass looks like Max. (As in Sam'n'Max.) I wonder where Bunny Bass hides the gun.

That's far more information than I needed going into the weekend, mcsweetie.

Here's some Guitar Rock Girls who wouldn't be caught dead with bunny basses or daisy axes. THIS is acceptable behavior for Guitar Rock Girls. They did make the mistake once of trying to look vaguely like Fleetwood Mac. That cost them some kewl points. But they made up for it.
Then again, KeWlNeSs is in the eye of the beholder. I was there the night these pics were taken. Kruger, Oates and Hutchins together again for the very first time. That was a magic, electric night. When I first saw Nicole Hutchins pull out her banjo I stifled a laugh. "How uncool is that?" I groaned. The second she started to play, I swallowed my pride. The banjo can be KeWl in the right hands. So I suppose designer guitars shaped like fluffy animals and plantlife could be KeWl too. It's all a matter of perspective.

Definitely a head-hanging low point in the history of the genre.

Honestly, at this point I couldn't care less if I blew a heart valve tomorrow. It almost sounds like a pleasant concept compared to where I am now. But thanks for the info. I never grokked that it was an emoticon. It just looked like a horrible ASCII mistranslation of some stupid Windows font character.

Yeah, a soft plushy animal sounds like a good idea. I'll have to go play with my cat. I never learned to play guitar, unfortunately. But then, it's 3 am on a Saturday morning now. So much for Friday afternoon. So much for life.
/me <3 metrocake too

While we're on the subject of strange typographical conventions, what does "/me" mean? To me, as a partial electrical engineer, it means "not me" but I assume that's not the intended meaning. (By convention, a slash before a signal name means "the inverse of".)

It's an IRC command. Typing "/me" is a way to emote.
Example, "/me stuffs himself full of chocolate chip cookies and vodka" would come out on the channel as "Aaron stuffs himself full of chocolate chip cookies and vodka".

Which doesn't explain in the least why people still do it. *stuffs himself full...* is a lot more intuitive for non IRC-ers... although I'm not going to make rules. ;)

I kind of want one of those Bunny Basses. I have a tendancy to cut myself repeatedly when I play shows (two of my fingers are bandaged from a show I played last night, terrible ugly cuts pocking my fingers) and it would be a funny scene to see how much blood I could accidentally get on that bass. O.k. maybe I'm just in a bad mood because I can onlky type with one and a half hands right now.

If they're made by Schecter they can't be that bad but I would have thought they would be a little uncomfortable to sit with.

It's just habit. Back in the day, everyone on the Internet who had been online more than a few days would have intuitively known the /me command. The audience has gotten watered down since then, but my habits haven't.
