Finally - I know where all the picks disappear to…

Chocolate biscuits kidnap them!

Nope - I sold a perfectly good clothes dryer when our washer died this past spring. We got a new matching set.

The guy that bought the dryer from me contacted me the next day to say he found 31 picks in the back of it when he opened it up to clean it out!

 

[Fretting out]

Exactly the washer or dryer eats them up

I found one hiding out in the cuff of a pair of pants once. I'm glad cuffs are out of fashion now!

You see that little white dot, I've come to believe that is where all my lost picks reside?!?!

Reminds me of when Ms Boubou was complaining about the dishwasher. Turns out there was 39 olive pits in the pump well. I don’t eat olives

A few weeks after moving to Minneapolis I got a FedEx envelope from the guy who bought our house in Florida. Inside were about 40 guitar picks he found when he fixed our old washing machine.

I once bought a clear guitar pick because I thought it was cool. I always tended to drop it just in the shadows under my bed. I would find it a few weeks later when I could clean my room. I swear I looked there and felt under there many times, but those things would just disappear.

I had one dryer - that after each cycle - I would open the door and be greeted with all my lost pics right there!

Hi

I actually bought these Dunlop Prime Tone Jazz III XL “Animals as Leaders” plectrums because I thought their green colour would be easier to spot than the usual brown ones.

30 mins after taking the first one out of the packet I’d lost it…

p.s. having said that, they are actually easier to keep track of

When I need a pick, I pick up my couch cushion.

 

[P Thought]

I used to keep picks inside the guitar like that. That was before I started actually using them.

Oh yeah, I just remembered - I was watching an Andertons’ video the other day and I thought, is that a butterfly I just saw out of the corner of my eye, fluttering under the coffee table? So I rewound. It was a plectrum falling out of Danish Pete’s hand as he talked and spiralling away to the side.

One of those things were the brain auto fills in, trying to make sense I guess. But what I also noticed was, he seemed to have no idea he’d dropped it.

Mine are chameleons - immediately they fall on the floor they adopt perfect camouflage as they scuttle away into hiding. Some have never been found and may actually have the ability to translate into another dimension!

its with the tape measure.............

Because at 81 years my grip on picks isn't as good as it used to be I've developed a way to get over that problem. I use Bostic Blue tack to stop the pick falling out of my hand, it also serves to keep picks for ages because when I've finished playing guitar I stick the pick onto the guitar near the pre-amp. All my guitars that I use regularly has picks stuck to them.. S

Don't bother thanking me, I do this as a public service.
