I was "helping" a student teacher with the womens choir when I noticed a girl in the back row with her hands in her mouth wrestling with some kind of bar through tongue. I guess the thing was cross threaded. I'm not anti-pierce but if you claim to be a singer, I wouldn't think you'd screw with the machinery. The student teacher was pretty well perforated herself but definitely not anywhere that affects her livelihood. Speaking of which, she is half of a pretty cool folky acoustic
dual. She is a classically trained guitarist and he is an accounting major (I think).
