I think they are cool as hell, I saw a surf band in Olympia WA. incorporating one in their act, and one of my all time favorite pin ball games "Attack From Mars!" uses the sound often in its score.
I farted and made my son cry.

Keller Williams uses this alot in his songs.  Here are a few videos of him playing it.



My buddy has one of his dvds and its sounds a lot better on it.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Until I figured out I need to turn the sound up, I assumed Therminism was some kind of sexual thing with invisible partners.

Gerhed, your house seems more like a museum than like a house.


Have you noticed whether visitors grab the wallet at the door, like if willing to pay admission?

 :D :D :D

Actually, turning the sound on only seems to support that theory. ;D
