First, try to confirm the timing by oscilloscope.

Shiroonitake is a poisonous mushroom but it has real presence, and I like it.

Cough syrup. If I don't drink a mouthful before going on stage I can't settle down!

When the scum stops appearing pour the syrup back into a clean bottle and keep it in the fridge.

They named the dog Shiro.

He tried to devise a plan for getting rid of termites.

The largest animal on Earth is the gigantic blue whale.

Polar bears live in the Arctic.

These things are much better spoken about face to face so that we can draw diagrams and demonstrate timings on logic analyzers and oscilloscopes where necessary.
