I used to use mine for a cushion when I was drilling through things so I wouldn't damage the surface I was working on... and then I'd recycle 'em. Worked like a charm.

What a bunch of freaking sticks in the mud. Sanitary reasons? It's a freakin puppy for crying out loud. How can you hate it for the fact that it needs care?

Sometimes I just wait for the coming astroid to wipe this sorry excuse for a civilization of mother earth. Jimminy Christmas.

Sharyn,

Fight until you can't fight anymore. And then fight some more. Just sitting there getting kidnapped in Latin America is a great way to get yourself, well... killed.

Yeah folks. Obviously, you failed to read the words: HYPERBOLE!!! AND A HALF!!!

As in, exaggeration for the purpose of creating effect.

John Cage - In a Landscape - much much better.

Looks more like a $1,900 mold and algae producer to me...

My wife grew up with cockatoos. If you weren't careful, they would sneak up while you were drinking your coffee on the couch, and when you went to take a sip they would dunk their heads into your cup trying to get a drink. Then they would tilt their heads back and chug. Those birds would bob up and down when they saw a cup of joe being made. They loved it. It was hilarious.

The obvious answer is "For when the zombies come".

Guys, I'm pretty sure it's a novel design concept... not a functional "Hey let's all eat at the freaking marble table" table.

And there goes the skin of my shins.

That's right phlil. He's using distortion and extreme compression because at the speed he's playing all his tone has to come from the drive of the amp. Without all of the gain and compression, this would sound like absolute barf. That said, it's amazing. Totally unmusical, but amazing.

No. It's both practical and magical.

Leon Fleisher, a prominent classical pianist, lost his hand function due to a neurological disorder. He got rolfing (a form of structural/neurological massage) done and after several months of rehab he premiered Beethoven's Emporer Concerto at Whatcom Symphony Orchestra. It was pretty bomb. I was there for it.

Yeah I wonder if my great grandfather's copper coil engine is locked away in that vault when they bought it from him back in 1917 and then said it couldn't be made to work...
