Then I think we should discuss it further and really run it into the ground!  Or get completely off the track.  Isn't that how things usually work in these forums?Cheesy

Anyway, what is the definition of genius?

...and it sounded so great, but alas alack, transpiration is what plants do, or is a synonym of perspication, no sorry, perspiration.

What about transubstantiation. Now that sounds more tricky.

Anyway, it should be 90% transcription, especially if you are Steve Vai.

oh shit, my heart almost stopped!!  Of course he was and continues to be a musical genius.  however, since frank made the music for us, the ones who stood by him and continue to freak out at his music may be the real geniuses.

         I'm sure many of you understand where I'm coming from. or am I just circumlocuting??

Let us not forget transposition (perhaps 5%?).

...the ones who stood by him and continue to freak out at his music may be the real geniuses.

That's a gosh-awful-nice way to look at it.  I see no reason to dispute that one.  Nevertheless, we must not forget that we are "dumb all over....a little ugly on the side."

Perhaps true genius is best manifested by how one handles his / her own stupidity.  And no, hiding it does not count.

I have taken your advice Pappy, the goat is in the process of being shorn, however I want to end up with a sweet little imperil - as you suggest.  I checked websters and it seems you suggest I should put my handsome chin "in danger".

As stated earlier, the participants in these forums appear to be genius to  me.  Another fine example is how Pappy sends me to Websters Dictionary to determine how to shave.  One of us is a genius and one of us is insane.  Depending who's judging the arrow could point either way.

When FZ goes off on shaving poodles, wearing soiled panties as party hats, pasting boogers on window panes, is he insane or genius?  Likewise, when a bunch of people, Wink like us, sit around and discuss the hidden meaning of k9 clipping, fudge and glue, and loogies as frosting, are they genius or insane?

When FZ and band play a difficult/involved/complicated song, do the toe tappers call him insane while the geniuses of the music industry rave about his mastery?  Alternatively, when audience members whip their underlinens at the stage while band members give em' a sniff, do the musical sophisticates snub their noses while the beer guzzlin, dip spittin good ol boys think - "Right on man!"

Lets not judge, its too hard and tiring.  FZ was probably a little of both.  As for us, we are all geniuses...or is that geniusi.

I think the most appropriate term would be "sophomore."

....a wise fool.
