Does anyone else chew their picks?

psypig	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 7:51 AM I find the only reason i ever have to buy new picks is that i've chewed them to pieces! Am i a freak (in this specific sense. i know i'm a freak in the general sense)
SimonWaldram	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 7:54 AM Yes you are a freak, that's absolutely disgusting and far too much detail than we needed to know. Oh...wait...you said picks...sorry, I misread it. Nah, I'm sure lots of people do that.
Intergalacti...	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 7:57 AM yeah you are a freak..... I chew my pick too though but thats another discussion. Its actually quite bad for you apparently due to the metal rubbing off onto your pick then you puttin the pick in your mouth I dunn heard that somehwere.
Intergalacti...	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 8:25 AM I do pick what I chew also
Intergalacti...	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 8:25 AM or even chew what i pick
psypig	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 8:46 AM yeah i guessed it's probably really bad for me but i just can't help myself! I think for clarity maybe i should use the word 'plectrum'
zedsalt	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 12:00 PM I fingerpick, chew my nails, does that count? I DID break myself of the habits of chewing my toenails and the finger/toenails of others; both seemed to be met with pretty much universal distaste.
imemine	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 1:24 PM ***** Note to self, don’t borrow picks from these people in this thread! Eeeeewwww! : spitpick:
GeneHilbert	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 1:33 PM In case you are interested there is cyanide in guitar picks.... so maybe, just maybe you want to cut back a little. As well - never burn them, that will release it into the air.
SimonWaldram	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 2:28 PM Why on earth is there cyanide in guitar picks??
imemine	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 2:55 PM For RIAA spies to eat when they are about to be captured! Ba Da Boom!
evansorchid	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 2:56 PM I have used picks as a screwdriver in an emergency. I guess that's why I don't chew on them. I prefer the thicker picks.
psypig	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 3:05 PM The bad thing is i know i shouldn't do it - whenever i realise i'm doing it i stop - but i even had a pick (thats PICK you sick bastards ) in my mouth when i sat down at the pc just now. it's one of my little compulsive things i do without realising. it's driving me nuts!
GeneHilbert	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 3:28 PM Just part of the chemical make up I guess. Don't really know - maybe it's population control for guitarist. Why is there strychnine in LSD………? Just one of those things.
Distilled1	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 7:54 PM I did till a broke a tooth!
Distilled1	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 7:55 PM Burning the fender tortis shell ones smells so GOOD
Intergalacti...	Date: October 28, 2005 @ 7:55 PM yeah i moved one of my teeth a few months ago doin it
Traf	Date: October 29, 2005 @ 7:26 PM That's disgusting.. you shouldn't chew them... and anyhow, you should use a hankie..
KyleEpps	Date: October 29, 2005 @ 8:52 PM since i play classical guitar now i don't use a pick anymore but when i did about a year ago i used to tear those things up lol
hueseph	Date: October 29, 2005 @ 9:03 PM Just FYI the strychnine in LSD is a stablizer. Otherwise the LSD would just evaporate. Of course there's not enough there to really harm you right away. The build up in your fatty tissues will probably cause liver or kidney failure before you actually die from the drug. Hmmm. Which is a better way to die?
zedsalt	Date: October 30, 2005 @ 10:53 AM And strychnine isn't the only way to adhere LSD to a medium. It isn't even the most durable means. I mean, I think I might've read that somewhere...y'know, by accident.
BOWILLIE	Date: October 30, 2005 @ 10:55 AM ..uh huh!
zedsalt	Date: October 31, 2005 @ 11:12 AM I was just looking for more info on Mormons, and I got a couple letters switched around. I should also mention: don't chew Picts; they don't like that.
psypig	Date: October 31, 2005 @ 11:34 AM I'm sat at work in front of my computer and some how i've managed to find a pick in my mouth once again (PICK i said PICK). WHY MUST THEY BE SO CHEWABLE?!?!?!
roast	Date: November 4, 2005 @ 9:17 AM wtf is cyanide? As a wise man once told me, chewing guitar picks lets you envision what you want ot do with your guitar. It lets you taste the cold steel of the guitar, and lets you know just exactly what the guitar wants. "You chew what you play".
roast	Date: November 4, 2005 @ 9:18 AM ^^ok, i think i zoned out there.
hantu	Date: November 4, 2005 @ 10:13 AM hmm well i don't have a pick.. mainly coz i don't have a guitar .... but i do bite my nails extensively... to the extent that i barely have fingers left.... well maybe not that bad.... but im sure i will get there soon hmmm but if i had a pick i would imagine i would prolly substitute it for my nails... hmm maybe i should just get a pick for the sake of my fingers
TameasDust	Date: November 4, 2005 @ 11:16 AM OHHHHHHHHH you mean finger picks ... I will leave now ....
zedsalt	Date: November 4, 2005 @ 11:42 AM For roast: Cyanide is a poison comprised, partially, of cyanogen (what it's combined with varies). In plastics (including acrylic paint), it's in blue pigments...blue, green, most browns, trace amounts in qualified (darker, duller) reds and oranges. Cyanide poisoning is a nasty, painful way to go.
hantu	Date: November 4, 2005 @ 1:05 PM ... Helloooo nails!
les-legend	Date: December 8, 2005 @ 10:29 PM I do chew my picks as well, and it is annoying, cause you cant stop and in the ned the pick is in a "retarded shape".. However it is worst when i dont use picks, cause then i chew my finger tips instead
Alecs	Date: December 11, 2005 @ 5:49 PM I chew mine, but since they're 3 mm thick it doesn't do jack-squat to 'em
laalaaloo	Date: December 11, 2005 @ 8:56 PM I chew my picks proudly!!! My mouth is like a spare pocket for guitar pick storage. I'm never without one, but there is a pick I tend to chew a lot more than the rest, so I can chew on that one an use a different one at the same time, hehe.
Alstroph	Date: December 11, 2005 @ 10:12 PM I used to chew them... but then in an effort to stop myself I sprayed all of my pick with mustard gas. Now when I chew on them my lungs start to bleed.
hantu	Date: December 11, 2005 @ 10:33 PM i am pretty confident that if i had a pick to chew i would most definetely chew it
litesenseative	Date: December 12, 2005 @ 2:46 PM mustard gas i do chew then but always seem to lose the bastards it drives me insane so ive stopped buyin picks and use err other stuff like topup cards
MrCam	Date: December 18, 2005 @ 1:04 PM I don't chew my picks but like litesenseative they always seem to diasapear! Maybe my dog is eating them
AbortiveMind	Date: December 18, 2005 @ 2:36 PM I chew the picks, the nails, the flesh and the hair...when nothing left, some gum Still considering yourself a freak?
ImInaBand	Date: December 24, 2005 @ 6:41 PM yea it's a habit for me. Actually, I chew on just about anything made of plastic that I can fit in my mouth.
