Offer no apologies, Dr. Blurb. I am 34 and can still play a mean Chariots of Fire on the recorder! Kick it old skool.

I got a feva. And the only cure… is more recorder.

The recorder is bush league. You don’t think you know real pain until you’re the kid that played bass clarinet for 2 years in middle school.

I think we can agree that there is nothing sexy about the clarinet (or oboe, recorder, etc), but this, the bass clarinet, looks like a special needs saxophone and, as my mother once said, sounds like a dying water buffalo. at least when I took to it. I’m not sure where she got off making that kind of comparison, seeing as we lived in CT – not exactly an abundance of water buffalo roaming around, but my gut says she was probably right.

Yeah, we were all Drama Fags until 3 varsity cheerleaders and some senior drillteam members decided to join the department. Then we were the luckiest guys in school.

Last year you created the Clog Army. Perhaps you could do such a justice for the Band Fags/Geeks? I played the flute, but then I took up flags (colorguard) only to go to drama. You don’t understand emo until you have been in the high school drama and/or band…At my high school I was the only band that was cool were the bagpipers (and drummers). Maybe because everyone wanted to know what they wore under their kilts.

Patty, I played football in a northern Utah league from 4th to 6th grades. That’s three seasons of 8 games each. We had uniforms, pads, helmets, coaches, playbooks, the works. I have no idea what you are on about unless you are from Texas.

Texas is in its own league of football.

But that’s PROPER football. But there is Little League Football. Just Google it.
