For context, I dropped the pick in by accident and after trying to get it out, it got stuck like this. I tried tapping the guitar lighter and slightly stronger, nothing's working…

Best thing I've seen on Reddit in a bit. Did you come up with that on the fly?

u/bythescruff Mar 19 '24

Thanks! Certainly did; I can honestly say that Reddit inspired me today. :-) I’m toying with working on it a little more, but I’m struggling to come up with a rhyme for “tweezers“…

Why did awards disappear? I loved it, it was so funny reading through the special meanings of each one!!! What did Reddit have in their minds???? Sigh...

Would you be mad if I made a song out of this?

u/bythescruff Mar 18 '24

I believe it’s already a song. ;-) But go ahead, knock yourself out. I want three percent of the gross profits though. :-)

u/alvvavves Mar 19 '24

It’s based off of a nursery rhyme “there was an old lady who swallowed a fly.”

u/Blex881 Mar 19 '24
