Nah, we picked a Friday in April. We're all booked up until then with lots more shows.

Pulling out nostril hairs has to be one of the sharpest pains there is.

We had that happen with a bar here. It's a pretty awesome feeling to rock the show and have the bookers pumped enough to just rebook you right then and there.

That would be nice. Most venues here the booker is never even at the gigs.

Yeah, it's a great feeling. It's a tiny place, but we packed. There was absolutely no room to move. There was no stage, we just set up in the corner and everyone was smushed in around us. I had about one or two feet between myself and the crowd (including the room my pedalboard took up) and maybe one foot behind me in case I wanted to move a little bit.

The funniest thing was watching people walking into the venue for the first time and being shocked when there was no where to go. People just walked in the surprise on their faces was priceless. The moment they walked in the door they instantly became part of this mass of bodies.

I've desensitised myself to this.

I find if they're on the side of the nostril that is nearer the point of the nose they don't hurt as much, but ones on the softer skin nearer the inside are really sensitive. Brings tears to my eyes.

Slice It is a really fun phone game for anyone who enjoys shapes and lines.

Don't pluck your nose hairs - twist them. It's painless and they snap off near the root.

Alternatively, buy a nose-hair trimmer. I find that the feeling of a clean nose + netti pot is so rewarding.

Your twisting method sounds worth a shot.

I want lessons on how to make an unruly hippo submit with only the aid of a branch from a willow tree.

That's for next week's discussion. Today we have a symposium on "Armpit Shaving and its Effects on Pheremone Production."

So you want to control a fat chick with only dick-slapping abilities? I presume this question is euphemistic.

Flaccid dick-slapping abilities.

You've gotta do that rolling motion you see in the porn, man. Like tuck it over the top and then slam down like your man pipe is the very hammer of Thor.

Do you ever lower your action just slightly every three or four months? I've been trying it, and I'm noticing that there's very little fret clicking; it's forcing me to play just a bit softer, but not unnaturally so. I definitely feel more fluid and controlled.
