Now if someone can just develop a technology to let me throw my voice, my back-of-the-comic-book dreams will be fulfilled.

Call someone "vexatious" in the US, and you'll get the snot beat out of you because they don't know what "vexatious" means.

"Blue" according to what criteria?

Bass version already available

On: Scientists Create Air Guitar T-shirt

Instructions:

1. Slide left hand under bottom of shirt
2. Move left hand to location where right arm of shirt joins torso of shirt, under (not over) your shoulder
3. Turn left palm to right armpit, form hand into cup, and place lightly against skin, so that the "rim of the cup" surrounds the armpit
4. Align right arm parallel with torso
5. Bend right elbow up tightly, so forearm doubles back on upper arm
6. Without unbending elbow, and without losing contact between left hand "cup" and right armpit, move right arm outward from torso
7. Quickly bring right arm back toward your torso
8. Repeat

Just like John Entwistle used to do it.

Ah, the simpler days of gray backgrounds and Times New Roman. None of these fancy tables, neither. And we had to walk 5 miles to school, uphill, in snow up to our hips. And 10 miles uphill to get back home. Kids today with their fancy JavaScript. No appreciation, none at all.
