What Is A Thereminist ?
 

What is a Thereaminist, and what exactly does one sound like ?

A thereminist is someone who plays a theremin.

A thereminist sounds exactly like an ordinary person.

Me not know that ?

OK, a theremin is what makes the kind of sliding electronic sound in the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations".

I thought so.

Someone who plays an electrical musical instrument by moving his hands near its two antennas..Used for high tremolo effects.

theremin

Ever see Led zeppelin,s "Song Remains the same " concert video? It's that antenna thing Jimmy Page was playing in one of the songs.
You can google it ( theremin) and come up to a site that has video.
Actually, it's akinda cool invention.

Yes when I was in the world, I did listen to Led Zeppelin.
I remember Dazed and Confused.

Where are you now? That couch is not a part of "the world?" No wonder you don't get up. The couch is some sort of dimensional portal. That, my friend, requires the music of a theremin while we ponder the implications. :)

Pelathis didn't you tour with Frank Zappa a few yrs. back ?

Remember ?? Scotty you are still.... dazed and confused !! :pirate

Just Dazed and Confused! :pirate

Yes, I was responsible for setting up the sound studio at Lake Geneva in Switzerland. It was an older concert venue and it had the best sound around. We were really rocking' one night, the crowd was really goovin'. I thought it would be cool to liven up the act so I fired this flare gun that I had found and the flare went up into the rafters and bounced all over the place.

Well, the rest of course is, as they say, history.

So you inspired Smoke on the water ?

That's some couch there, brother.

Pelathis, I see you weren't always elected by grace either.

I went to see a doctor once that had a couch in his office.
He showed me some pictures that looked like butterflies, He said what do these look like ? I said they look like ink blots, did your child do them ?

I think I know what you mean. However, for technical reasons, I will dispute that.

The sovereign election of grace took place before the foundation of the world. The fact that my behavior in the 60's and early 70's prove that I never deserved that grace (for example the incident in Montreux, Switzerland, on the grassy knoll in Dallas, at the park across from the convention center in Chicago and anything that ever occured in Berkeley) notwithstanding, it was an unmerited and gracious decision made by the free will of a loving and gracious God.

And we come full circle... the creator of those ink blots was Swiss.

Aw yes I was picking at you and while I don't hold to Calvinism, sorry Reformed Dave, but Soverign Grace is very much Biblical.

I understand the Swiss invented cheese hence Swiss cheese.

On the contrary, the Swiss invented cheese with holes :pirate

Yes, it is thought that cheese itself was "discovered" (as opposed to invented) by nomads on the steppes. It was probably mare's milk at that.

What the Swiss did, was to use a yeast formula that produced a great deal of carbon dioxide late in the process. It was this bacterial flatulence that is responsible for the "holes."

Two interesting facts about Switzerland:

Switzerland was never invaded during either WWI or WWII.

Women were not given the right to vote in Switzerland until 1971!.......1971!...In some cantons there was still a no majority. There was confusion about women being included in the word "citizens" in the constitution. I believe it was 1990 before it was decided that women were truly "citizens" and the constitution would not have to be changed...1990 in Switzerland. That's quite a bit later than the 19th Amendment here in 1920. That seems bizarre to me to think it was such a short time ago when women were given the right to vote there.

The USDA has now regulated the size of the holes in Swiss cheese...LOL

Can you believe this?

http://www.ams.usda.gov/standards/swiss_revised.pdf

The holes must be 3/8 to 3/16....I can think of some people who love to inspect sleeve length, etc. who would be great at this job!..J/K

I did a cut and paste:

Propionibacter shermani is one of the three types of bacteria used to make Swiss cheese, and it's responsible for the cheese's distinctive holes. Once P. shermani is added to the cheese mixture and warmed, bubbles of carbon dioxide form. These bubbles become holes in the final product. Cheesemakers can control the size of the holes by changing the acidity, temperature, and curing time of the mixture. Incidentally, those holes are technically called "eyes," and the proper Swiss name for the cheese is Emmentaler (also spelled Emmental or Emmenthaler).

Do theremists do Bar Mitzvahs? :girlpopcorn

And are they related to extermists?

Dunno, but keep it up and we might bar Mizpeh :slaphappy:slaphappy:slaphappy

Sister,
If there were no laws,

before You know it,it would be all holes and no cheese.

Proof that You can be too holey!

You've been Thereminated! :nuke

So you were the "some stupid with a flare gun," the greatest mystery of the 20th century revealed, where's Geraldo Rivera, he could have a two hour special, like when he opened Al Capone's vault.

Stay away from the yellow snow.:pirate

Yes, and that's a fitting couplet to this hallucination.

ROFL!!!! When I was a teenager, my best friend got caught running around with some "boys from the world". Her parents freaked out and ripped her phone out the wall and basically grounded her for life. When she managed to make contact with these other worldly boys she told them that she got in trouble for being with them because they were from "the world". The guys FREAKED! They kept on and on, laughing and teasing about where she and her family were from, some place that wasn't "the world".
