Pocketitis

[Jamvan]

pock·e·ti·tis (pŏk′ĭ tī′tĭs)
n.
1. An ailment brought about by the use of small baglike apparati, usually filled with pockets and other storage compartments, where random pieces of gear are stowed during the haste of teardown, only to be lost for all eternity or until such time that you empty every piece of transport gear you own in order to find it again. Usually lasts 2-3 weeks.
2. An affliction which physically prevents keyboard players from placing their left hand in their pocket to prevent the creation of bass clef notes within the context of a band. Can create caustic relations and is potentially fatal.

I've often pointed out to my guitarist friend that he suffers from this "itis."

I am a member of the club that says I'd rather carry one heavy thing in with lots in it than haul 10 small ones. But to each his own.

I read that to read a pair or mammary glands becoming prominent on a pocket.
I grabbed my glasses to confirm that is indeed incorrect

My "gear bag" weighs more than my wife...

"Pocke - what?"

I thought this would be about playing in the pocket so often that one develops swelling.

I figured it was a club and I'd sign up...

I like to noodle a lot when I play in the pocket

Whenever i see this thread I cannot help but think of the old Ronco ad for the pocket Fisherman:

Oh man that thing sucked.

 

[Bassbeater]

At least you are playing in the pocket.
Truth be told, I often find all sorts of treasures in little sub-pockets when I change bags.

Do any 20-30 year olds even understand how silly Ronco products were? There was a bottle cutter to make glasses, and some device that would "frost" a mug but people got frostbite on their fingers, LOL.

And the LP equivalent to Ronco? - The endless stream of Ktel LP's?
