Ok, here we go. The old cordball disappearing trick. Now, I don't know about you but I HATE FUCKING CORDS. My purpose in life is to kill all loose cords.
And those that survive, do so at thier own risk daily. I have various weapons at my disposal to either KILL, or subdue and send to prison for life or rehabilitate for a fresh life in the extra cable box. These are my weapons of choice.
Top secret handcuffs(ie. cable ties)
High tech feetcuffs(velcro strips)
Special snaring technology(wire grommets)
High strength teflon entrapment devices(nylon cable straps with a screwhole)
Space age acrylic bullets(stick on cable tie brackets)
5 mm cannons( 8 foot 1/2" steel conduit tie off bar at back of mixer mounted on console support frame via 3/8" x 2" hex standoffs and custom brackets)
Armored steel tanks( steel console leg cable troughs)
High security jails(wood platforms for cable distribution of cables coming into the platform from the console legs)
High security jail corridors(in floor and plant on wooden wall cable troughs
High tech central Jail cells(patch bays at console and at tape deck fixture for 8 and 2 buss distribution to 4 decks and or computer) I don't have direct outs so nothing dedicated to them.....yet.
Special interogation units.(2 custom switch bays under each end of console arm rest, each with 2 headphone output jacks with source select switches, volume pots and foldaway head phone brackets, and 2 Hi Z instrument 1/4" input jacks, for playing at the console. All connections are hardwired with a cable snake cut to custom lengths for distribution to a:
High tech court house with hidden machine gun nests(custom rack mount headphone distribution/source collection inputs/Master source select switch with distribution output jacks, mounted in console belly rack.
Overhead security and surveilance unit(overhead steel 3d truss with custom mic stand adaptors and cable clips and jacks.) Works great to keep cables off floor in small spaces. No stands. YEA!
Special prisoner captivity unit(custom rack mount computer patchbay with chassi mount XLR sound card adaptor inputs/outputs for 2 computers....and, mic adaptor i/o's, and interface adaptors for Lexicon Core 32 interface...and other computer audio chassi mount adaptors.
Violent offender straightjackets(custom video and computer cable chases and tie offs on custom Rack mounted PULL OUT computers with strapped cord coils that move with the computer. Try and get out of this alive you mofo.
Dangerous crimminal unit(Custom hardwired power distribution box in console belly pan with Isolated ground buss bar.)
Escape proof head isolation devices(switchcraft or equal jacks and plugs, with strain reliefs, center conductor isolator and shield clamp.
High tech lock down devices(patch bay cable tie off rails)
Special circumstance unit(Time code patch/adaptor/distribution bay in console belly rack)
Inspection and prisoner reroute unit(fold down, pull out patch bay rack for changing rear inserts, also with moving cable tie off coil.
Extreme prejudice Termination weapons(wire cutters in 3 sizes)
Extreme torture devices(Adjustable wire strippers, NASA approved teflon hi temp heat strippers)
Gazillion volt stun gun(high heat air gun)
Special "influence" generating hi tech straightjackets(shrink tubing in various sizes up to 1" for "hard to handle" prisoners. Hehehehe! That'll teach em.
Special surgery implant alloys(various solders) I love to terminate wires. In a blink of an eye, they never move again. Ha!
High tech design self protection knives(utility and craft knives) self protection my ass! Ha. Just about sliced my finger open. Fuck.
CIA approved chemical arsenal(various contact sprays, air cans, vacume adaptors etc. with explosion proof room. Ha! dream on.
Special night vision support(head mounted drop down magnifying glass with head lights for climbing under equipment and soldering small shit)
Hand held personal phazer pistol(my trusty soldering iron and gun hehehe!)
Hand held personal termination zapper(de-soldering air gun(just a brass "t" adaptor for an compressed air nozzle, with a teflon tube on the bottom and a small cloth bag on the end to capture molten solder. Works great. I won an award for this idea in the 60's. Works via vacume venturi in the "T" fitting.
Its a glorified solder sucker.
Special surveilance and ID unit(CAD wiring diagram in computer for instant recall, modification and zoom
Hi tech identification and profile database and display(cable id tags matched with Autocad schematic and cable layer/object scene view) Which means I can look at the back every device in the system and at the touch of the mouse button see one complete wire, or circuit, or snake, or what have you. The actual diagram looks like a map of LA. Ha! Every wire, plug, jack, device, and some circuits etc etc. Talk about
Well, I bet your thinking I have a problem. I do. Its called cablephobia.
But war is war. May the best man win. Oh lord, what if .....the dark side wins.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Holy holloween! CABLE ALIENS TAKE OVER THE EARTH!!! QUICK, HAND ME THE EXTREME PREJUDICE TERMINATOR. Or an aspirin. So this is what quitting smoking does huh? Make that a cigerette.

The only thing to do on a trip is smoke.
