Mike has a sustained hatred of sustain, so much so that he no longer hates it.

Here's rsg when he was in California in 2008, working his E-Bow:

It took TGFM a long time to figure out how to palm an E-bow while finger-picking his solos. Getting proper palm calluses was the key.

TUTM's method of PCA (palm callous acquisition) got him arrested in 1963.

RSG's arrested development was a cause of great embarassment.

chez never gets embarassed about anything which is often painfully embarassing for those around him.

Chez once bought a dirt cheap Tele in Baja, but when he tried selling it on eBay the listing was pulled - apparently it doesn't count as a genuine Baja Tele.

Dammit!

Mike gets embarrassed about anything and everything. All the time.

In fact, he's so red with embarrassment that he glows in the dark.

spiky used to be embarassed about being all spiky. Now he embraces his spikiness and is working on being OK with his paddiness.

Mike wanted to be embarrassed, but the necessary reading and case-study put him off.

RSG was understudy for Alan Ford's character Bricktop in the movie Snatch; then watched Jason Statham's meteoric rise -- they used to be on the streets running Minicabs before that.

Penny has a major obsessive hoarding disorder and her house is filled with the detritus of many other lives. Fortunately therapy has identified the root cause as Junior Wells. Penny has been placed on a strict diet of Larry Adler in the hope she will learn to let go.

chez has gone back to his years as a teenager in the '60s and listens to nothing except recordings produced by Lou Adler and or recorded by Barry Sadler.

TGFM loves the 60's as well and actually believes if you sandpaper your throat, you can sound like Barry McGuire. Unfortunately there only so many New Christy Minstrel songs and getting a Tele in them is tough. Most of the time he just does Eve of Destruction with a short solo.

Even though it's 45 years later, tutm still can't believe that McGuire was wrong.

Mike believes everything. Santa Claus, Easter Bunny,Tooth Fairy,It's Not really Butter.

That's what makes lying to him so much fun. Just watch.

"Hey look Mike you've stepped in something!"

Yep .Gets him every time.

chez doesn't believe in anything, but he tries not to think about that because it drives him crazy:

"If I don't believe in anything, then I don't exist. If I don't exist, who's doing this thinking? So I must exist. But I don't believe in anything. If I don't believe in anything, then I don't exist ...."

tgfm has been sending Luther Perkins' solo on "I Walk The Line" on a tight beam transmission to the Andromeda galaxy for the last 27 years. He's received nothing but positive feedback.

JackStraw wants to mix magic with music. He plans on a dramatic escape from a Burning Ring of Fire. He will be dressed all in black with a black guard Tele and pictures of June and Johnny on the backdrop (for distraction). He expects this to be his best illusion since dating the twins in 78.

tutm is sure that June Lockhart is not his favorite Ruth Martin. He's still not sure if he prefers Cloris Leachman over Jan Clayton. Clayton Moore is definitely the definitive Lone Ranger in his mind.
