Once again, it's time for the FNGT!If you don't know how this works,
click this link.. If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to. That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Upgoat.net go down.
NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, ask a regular participant (such as @TheRealBuddha or myself)
If you already know what's going on, you probably don't need to click any of those links. You can still visit to see if any changes have been made, as that's also where we kept the archives and have a second forum.
By the way, we're down to just two of us. If you want to help, let us know.

Get a long piano string, uncut and twenty or so feet long.
Get on a 'tall enough' building.
Tie it around your neck.
Tie the other end around something firm on the building's top.
Superglue your hand to your head/hair.
Jump off a building.
The string should cut straight through the neck and make it look like you ripped your own head off!
Imagine if you did this down town and had a bunch of people watching you. This would be pretty epic! I dare say that not one single person would forget about that day. It might give them nightmares for the rest of their life - but they'll remember your fuckin' name until the day they die.
I've joked about doing this for years.
I'm not mentally ill or anything like that. I've never had any abnormal psych problems. I was curious about my sanity, as some mental illness runs in my family, but I did a few days of testing and learned that I'm pretty much sane. I'm a bit abnormal but not mentally ill.
I have no mental illnesses that are beyond my control and interfere with my quality of life.
As for Becker, I admire how he didn't use much in the way of effects outside of his amplifier. He mostly used a clean tone and a single distortion pedal. I believe he's the dude with ALS. That has to suck.
If I was diagnosed with ALS, I'd probably kill myself before it got that bad.
It'd be nice if I could do so in a dignified way. There are doctors who will prescribe you a few pills. You take one and then wait. You take another one and then wait. These pills will eventually make you sleep. If you take the third pill, you don't wake up.
I like that idea.
I like that idea a lot.
I also think we should offer euthanasia to prisoners. I suspect quite a few would take you up on the offer. if I was faced with a very long sentence, I'd probably want to die instead. (I've never been to prison or the like, outside of visiting and working in detention.)
Let 'em die. Yeah, they're prisoners but we can still let them die with ease and dignity. You go to prison as punishment and not to be punished. If they want to use this opportunity to remove themselves from the gene pool, I'm all for it.
