Finally, someone else who can tie the field of physics with improv. Back when Too Much Duck was forming and searching for names and then later when we were searching for a name for Tantrum, I offered up the name String Theory. Both times, "that's too geeky" or "that's too thinky" (or some variant thereof) came back. Kudos John! Yay! Finally, someone else who can tie the field of physics with improv.

I call it "Chicken Wire Theory" because string theory seems a bit generic. At one point, you mentioned visualizing the chicken wire in three dimensions. I had never taken it that far--I just wrapped the two-dimensional wire around the universe and visualized the 2-D path. I just tried visualizing it in 3-D, and I can tell that instead of imagining it in my head, it will become much easier to actually see it happen in 3-D, imposing it upon reality. I already use my own version of Chicken Wire theory, and as my speed increases, I'll adopt more visualization into it. I like it. No longer do I find myself devoid of suggestions, or worried that my suggestion is too obvious. This technique is ready for the big leagues! This is powerful stuff.
