Air guitar

When I was a kid, listening to all my favorite heavy metal bands, I became quite good at pretending to play the guitar. Unfortunately, I caved in and traded my fake guitar in on a real one. As I learned to play the real thing, my air guitar skills quickly faded away. If only I had stuck with it, maybe I could have become the national champion.

Below is an excerpt from a news release I just read.

Dozens of countries now have national [air guitar] championships but Oulu, Finland has been the world capital of air guitar since it first staged the world championships in 1996. The small city on the Finnish coast will again host the event in August in the name of promoting world peace. You can't shoot a gun while playing air guitar, the official website points out.

Just think, I could have saved the world.
