Anybody selling anything made out of animals on the S.F. Crgslst is taking their life in their hands. :wink:

Especially since he actually says he'd rather meet up than ship a random pick

When the voice on the phone says "what's the best way to get to your place from Berkeley on a bicycle?" ... be afraid. Just a quick stop at the alt-fuel place to fill his molotov bottles up, and he'll be right over.

But seriously.
I've been in the woods and was like "oh! a turtle!" only to discover an empty shell. When turtles go the the skyheaven, they leave behind their shell as a gentle reminder to us all of how awesome they are.

Just because he was selling real plectrums doesn't mean he's a KILLAR.

I'll have to find mine, that my dad left me, and post a pic. It's mahusive, about the size of a hissing cockroach*, and I never use it. How can you tell whether it's pre-CITES? Carbon dating? How much of the plectrum would they need for that?

*Those are the kind they sell in pet shops and use in movies instead of real kitchen roaches.

Could have taken the teeth and made tooth-picks.








Yeah, I know. That was really crap.

Tortiseshell was once a very popular pick material, the production of them is now outlawed but jazz guitarists talk of stalking ebay for them. That's where the whole tortiseshell pattern on celluloid picks thing came from.
