why am i chewing gum?

i am chewing gum because while i was fiddling around with silvia's guts, i dropped a plastic connector cover down into the group and couldn't grab it with my forceps (i think that's what they are. they're not tweezers, for sure) or my tweezers. so i got some gum and as soon as it was chewed a little, stuck it on my foreceps and recovered the dingus.

heh.
