b. top fuel dragsters are the LOUDEST FUCKING THINGS ON ALL OF GOD'S GREEN EARTH.
c. my right ear is currently not working - not because of the noise, but because it would seem my right ear plug compacted a bunch of earwax, so now i get to suffer and feel like i'm half underwater until that clears up. yay.
well in my case i WAS being careful using earplugs and one of the earplugs totally fucked up my right ear -_- it’s still completely plugged this morning. gonna keep trying the eardrops. and i guess invest in some over-ear protection in the future.
