So, he's using his shoulder as "a device for slowing or stopping a vehicle or other moving mechanism by the absorption or transfer of the energy of momentum, usually by means of friction."

I can think of better uses for a shoulder...

If I were him, I'd take a break, instead...

So he's taking a break by slowing down . . .

So you're saying he's using his shoulder as a brake in order to slow things down so he can take a break to rest his sore shoulder? But won't the shoulder suffer more, from being used as a brake? Then he'll need an even bigger break for the brake!

We're doomed!

When do we get a break from all this insanity?

And after the show, they can catch a snack at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe! (Those suicide cows move slowly, you know. Perfect for stalking when tired and hungry.)

Excellent idea.

That way they'd be less likely to eat any prospective band members who failed the audition. It could be unfortunate to develop a taste for guitarist tartare, as the word would get out after a while and they might have trouble recruiting after that.

I thought she already had a bass player. Is she hedging her bets by auditioning for another?
