On the Zuul topic: we had this old microwave that would just start automatically, we decided that Zuul moved from the fridge to the microwave.

During the rectification of the Vuldronaii the Traveller came as a large, moving Torb. Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the Meketrex supplicants they chose a new form for him--that of a giant Sloar. Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day, I can tell you.

Hell freezes over here in Finland sometimes and can totally wreck a guitar.

Thicker padding also helps keeping humidity levels in control, at least a bit. In winter the humidity goes to null and all guitars start misbehaving in various ways, necks twisting and frets poking out being the smallest quirks.

HEY!!!! Your Hi-jacking this meaningless thread that we're trying to keep alive for no apparent reason except to remind DJ he shouldn't have sold his '56 GT!
