Peter Lukas: Getting your head dunked underwater and feeling the pressure in your sinus mixed with the bliss of the silence

Gerry: Licking coaldust off your lips after you've assembled a fire.

Micheal distortion: The shape of a bright neon sign burnt into your vision that becomes ever so clear when your eyes are closed

Micheal crew: The nagging insistence of brushing up against a low voltage wire but being unable to tell where it is to avoid it.
