Ok this is hilarious

I think my wife is cheating on me. I am a working musician and, as you would expect, travel a lot. I have been noticing strange things happening when I get home. Her mobile phone rings and she steps outside to answer it or she says, "I'll call you back later". When I ask her who called she gets evasive. Sometimes she goes out with friends but comes home late, getting dropped off around the corner and walking the rest of the way. I once picked up the extension while she was on the phone and she got very angry.

A buddy of mine plays guitar in a band. He told me that my wife and some guy have been to his gigs. He wanted to borrow my guitar amp. That's when I got the idea to find out for myself what was really happening. I said, "Sure, you can use my amp but I want to hide behind it at the gig and see if she comes into the venue, and who she comes in with". He agreed.

Saturday night came and I slipped behind my Marshall JCM800 half stack to get a good view. It wasn't long before I saw my wife come in with another guy. He bought them drinks and they sat down, conversing flirtatiously with each other. Then, after a while, he got up to go to the bathroom, and she started flirting with the bartender! She wrote something (I'm assuming her cell number) on a bar napkin and gave it to him. He gave her a wink and a nod. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My wife - the sweet little coquette!! At this point it was getting awfully warm for me. I was sweating. I could feel the heat coming off the back of the amp. It was at that moment, crouching down behind the amp, that I noticed that one of the tubes was not glowing as bright as the other three. Is this something I can fix myself or do need to take it to a technician?

I noticed that one of the tubes was not glowing as bright as the other three.

Unless the powertubes are a different colour, there is no problem, this is simply just how bright they normally are and they may very at times.

OK, but seriously that was one midfucking plot twist...

By the way, hiding in the cabinet of a Marshall stack, genius.

that's not precisely how it went down, it was my plexi nd TV4x12 I loaned out and hid behind and it wasn't a dimming, it looked like one of the tubes was redplating.... turned out one wasn't properly matched to the rest of the quad, easy fix

If you were to catch them in the act it could cause a major mental brea*kdown, causing you to go into a fit of "Heat of Passion" psychosis. Basically... you could murder them both* and get away with it. A marin*e* took his swo*r*d and pierced his wife and her lover to his mattress when he returned home and found them. He was found not guilty because of his "Heat of Passion".

Seriously though, drop her. Sounds like a loser. Connecticut doesn't even require two signatures for divorce. You can go, say I want a divorce, and it is done. If not there, Rhode Island. One of the two.

awwwww.... it's ruined. I put random letters in BOLD, spelling out "Kill Her". This typing format is no fun :(

Is that real or is it a joke? I'm leaningmore towards it being real, but I hope it's a joke!

haha I think this is a joke! That whole serious build-up and then he's just like... huh my amp tubes look weird do I need to get that checked out? :-D I saw it being posted around the web, thought I'd share here.

Also boom762 amazing Jurrasic Park gif. SHOOT HER! SHOOOOT HER! I'm so sad I actually paid to see the atrocity that was Jurrasic World :*( Felt like I was watching a cartoon

I paid 10 bucks for a large Walmart pizza and the ability to watch Jurassic World on VUDU. It felt rushed in the beginning and then they completely pissed me off with the last 35 minutes or so. T-Rex can outrun Jeep in part 1.... T-Rex cannot outrun dumb woman with flare running sideways so she can look at the T-Rex. I call BS.

A cartoon. Yeah, pretty much. Seemed like they were hoping only 6 year olds would watch this and start going ape shit, dancing in the walkways, pretending to be dinosaurs and power rangers during all the fight scenes.

I enjoyed j world in spite of its myriad flaws.

On the subject of films, I can't work out whether I am scared, or excited for the new Star Wars; I really want them to be good, but I have a horrible feeling about them. But I guess it'll be hard for them to be top "the phantom menace", or "The clone Wars", so I don't want to raise my expectations

Well... it's Disney, so prepare to be angered in the theatres. They will go the extra mile to try and seem progressive and inclusive. They flat out said only the CARTOON and the 6 films are cannon now. They can steal the content of the other books now but change and distort it.

"What's popular today..... uhh... Beyonce... Okay, she's Leah, I think the current youth will really like that. The force? Sounds too religious. Let's say it's evolving mitochondria in the air that evolve to the form whatever environmental suggestions they encounter. Darth Vader. I don't think it's a good move to make his costume black. That seems racist to me. Let's change his color to grey and instead of a sword, which is WAY too violent, give him a power glove."

They surprised me when they made the Netflix Daredevil show. That was great. Then they made Veronica Mars or Jessica Jones or whatever and completely dropped the ball again. I couldn't even finish the first episode. So boring.

I want to see the new Star Wars and will but I know I will be disappointed in parts. I have already accidentally heard some of the details from the leaked script. I pretty much know how the film ends.... yay..... spoilers.... just love it. >:(

in the words of Han Solo "I've got a bad feeling about this."

actually I think they look like a return to form visually, more than anything else that bugged me about the 3 prequels (and there are a lot of things that went wrong there) I missed the gritiness of the original, pre-CGI trilogy I grew up with

as far as Disney being involved, they can't do any worse than Lucas may have done had he stayed on board... he just butchered the clone wars even though the story arc could have been pretty cool had it been handled by grownups... I am encouraged by the involvement of the guy who directed and wrote the screenplay for Empire Strikes Back, arguably the finest entry in the franchise

Hmmm, it's funny that growing up, and watching the original trilogy a considerable amount, The Empire Strikes Back, always bored me; I preferred return of the jedi, but everyone seems to love it!

I used to watch the first 3 once every week or so as a 4 year old. I always liked Empire more. AT-ATs, Luke gets hurt, and Cloud City... DONE

I never liked Jedi. The ewoks did nothing for me as a kid.

I knew you would get it! Empire is the best film if only for the 3 reasons you mentioned, but there was so much more making it good.... it also had the "I love you, I know" exchange between Han and Leia.

Jedi was the 1st movie I saw in the theater as a very little kid (even before Disney films).... as an adult its a weak film, but as a 4 year old it blew my mind, especially when the emperor got making with the lightning hands, I just didn't see that coming. Seems obvious now, evil old wizard? Lightning hands, right? but back then? whoa.... and the ewoks, though the weak link of the film for an adult, to a toddler were a nice antidote to all the creepo aliens at Jaba's palace.

Empire is still my favorite... maybe because my mom went to see it when she was 8 or 9 months pregnant with me. Or maybe because its the best film of the franchise.... either way.

Let us not forget the dumbest character in the OG-3... Boba Fett

The goof flies into the side of a boat and falls into a hole.... brilliant.... really awesome. Best there is.

what do you expect from a clone? the prequels at least managed to explain why Boba is such a twit....
