Gear Aquisition Syndrome 

Also known as G.A.S.

This condition afflicts musicians and singers of all kinds, but seems to be especially virulent in electric guitar players. It is typified by an uncontrollable urge to buy, beg, borrow or steal the latest piece of musical equipment seen in a store, in a magazine, on TV or on another musician.
Poverty is the only known prevention (and only known cure) for the disease.

G.A.S. is the most likely explanation for any musician who possesses more than the required number of his/her chosen instrument (ie more than 1), but is more usually seen in the miriad unnecessary musical accessories hidden around the victim's room - such as amplifiers, electronic tuners, fold-back speakers, amp stands, gigantic speaker and PA stacks, guitar polish, guitar polishing cloths, several grades of strings, multiple gig bags full of things which buzz, click or glow in the dark, and, and, and....

illegal beverage acquisition 

when a shady, scheisty, or questionable individual walks into a fastfood restaurant and refills their cup with their beverage of choice in a different fastfood branded cup than the restaurant they're in, and walks out of the restaurant.

While dining at the McDonalds across Figueroa Street from USC in Los Angeles, J.R. and I noticed a questionable individual making an illegal beverage acquistion with an In-N-Out cup. The individual in question was successful in his illegal beverage acquisition, had a look on his face as if to say, "There's nothing to see here, move along." Needless to say the questionable individual did not issue McDonalds a Mc Thank You.

Guitar Acquisition Syndrome 

Guitar acquisition Syndrome, or rather "GAS" is when you check out an awesome new guitar that you just HAVE to own, no matter what the cost. You lose sleep. You can't eat. It drives you mad!

I just spent $1000 on a guitar w/ money I don't even have. Now I'm in debt and eating from a trash can. I've relieved my Guitar Acquisition Syndrome, but now I suffer from buyers remorse and homlessness.
