Don't those things make your teeth fall out and cause brain damage or something - like 100W of sound presure being pumped into you mouth via a tube.

A crazy risk taken in the name of art.

phew...this has sent me on a total tangent - I just spent an hour looking for a needle in a haystack

there is an animation on sesame street that is firmly etched on my consciousness - it was a load of geometric shapes morphing into each other with this kind of heavenly choral music playing and I have always remembered the music - I have always wanted to find that little clip just so I can hear it and compare it to the memory I have of it - which seems amazingly clear considering I would have been about 3 years old

sadly no luck - but if anyone out there knows what I mean and has some super old sesame st on tape!

he he saying that out loud highlights the futility of asking for such a thing!

oh well, I had fun looking - just about every other one I remember is on there

except the cartoon when the boy goes out and gets lost and has to find his way home by remembering all the things he passed but they all start changing into faces and weird things....

what a weird show to have been raised by!
