   I'm sure they get numb, but mostly it probably starts to hurt like hell   
   after a while.

   That's pretty much what I had in mind being an idealist and all ;)   
   But on the less than ideal level, one needs a backup plan, like their own   
   amp.

   Speaking of idealism! ;)   
   Yeah, I could sure dig such a situation - something to hope for ;)

   To find ANY good soundwork, a good sound person is needed...and that   
   certainly seems like idealism too, particularly when there's someone who's   
   doing a crappy job of it.

   I've got the material - metalized mylar, now to cut some pieces and attach   
   them to the objective lenses of my binoculars.

   I like chocolate mint ;)

   Those are two things I simply canNOT mix - food and Music.   
   Whatever few cells I may still have left where my brain once used to be so   
   very long ago are not the least inclined to simultaneously process those two   
   sources of stimuli, much less mix them...because for one thing, I 'feed' on   
   Music - I have some very powerful synesthetic responses as a result of my   
   extensive neural 'rewiring' ;)
