Re: Tiny little musicians

Why don't you guys implement this idea (Feline Dreams)? Then you could 
replace cycling with tiny little whips.

I know what you're going to tell me. The little fuckers are hard to come by, 
and what with the "tiny musician's guild" and all, you might have issues. 
Still, It seems that getting 35 or even 70 tiny musicians in a box might be the 
easiest solution to getting a new product to market.

Except... I just realized that you may end up needing hundreds, or even 
thousands (if the machine gets good press) of little tiny musicians. And it also 
just occurred to me that you would need musicians that could play lots of 
different instruments. And even more, you would need about a bazillion little tiny 
violins and flutes and flugelhorns and clarinets, etc. Not to mention that the 
little sons a bitches would have to be able to sing. Oh, and for Christ sake, 
we, the purchasers of such machines, would be responsible for feeding them and 
making sure their every little need was met. What a royal pain in the ass 
that would be.

You know, the more I think about it, the less feasible this seems. Maybe tape 
is the better way to go.

I'm kinda embarrassed to sign this,
