...for when "check, check, check" gets too dull.

I've considered memorizing the first 30-40 digits of pi...

And the mome wraths outgrabe.

 

I used to recite the whole thing, given time. Band members hated it.

Take the mic and bounce it off somebody's head. If you get feedback, it's a go. :D

 

Better yet, just bring up the fader on the mic as you walk over to one of the mains. Point it right at the horn. When the locusts from another dimension appear from the tear in the space/time continuum, and/or people have nosebleeds, you'll know it's a go.

I've always fantasized about a parrot or some other talking bird that flies from mic to mic. Hell who cares what he says, check one two is fine, maybe some belligerance to the ME, but think of the convenience of not having to tie up an otherwise surely too busy to help human for this? And for those gigs where there's not anyone else, how helpful would this be to have it be able to provide instant test voicings? Not to mention the chicks would totally dig it, but there is that pooping on the mic issue that could be a bummer.....

I used to be in a band with a woman who would do that for our checks. I thought it was awesome!
