I never believed seat belts on airplanes made a damn bit of difference. I mean, (to quote Billy Connolly), you never hear “today a plane flew into the side of a mountain but luckily no one was hurt because they were all wearing seat belts” .. do you?!

Please remain seated for landing … - World - theage.com.au
The only person on board, Mr Robertson broke his left leg, left arm and nose and has a gash on his forehead.

“It was his lucky day,” said witness Stewart McLeod. “The entire front of the plane was gone, and he was left sitting in his seat with his seatbelt on.”

Clearly some people weren’t impressed, or awake, or something.

I scrambled around and managed to find something I could use to record it while trying to suppress my own giggles.

being more than just a little self-righteous.

He is playing a U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland when he asks the audience for total quiet.

Then in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding
the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone, “Every time I clap my hands,
a child in Africa dies.”

A voice with a broad Scottish accent, from near the front of the crowd, pierces the silence………….

“Well, fu<kin stop clappin’ then!”

CAT DIARY

Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.

In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a “good little hunter” I am. Bastards!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of “allergies.” I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow — but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now…

  • Everyone should play the same piece.
  • Stop at every repeat sign, and discuss in detail whether to take the repeat. The audience will love this a lot!
  • If you play a wrong note, give a nasty look to one of your partners.
  • Keep your fingering chart handy. You can always catch up with the others.
  • Carefully tune your instrument before playing. That way you can play out of tune all night with a clear conscience.
  • Take your time turning pages.
  • The right note at the wrong time is a wrong note (and vice versa).
  • If everyone gets lost except you, follow those who get lost.
  • Strive to get the maximum NPS (notes per second). That way you gain the admiration of the incompetent.
  • Markings for slurs, dynamics and ornaments should not be observed. They are only there to embellish the score.
  • If a passage is difficult, slow down. If it’s easy, speed it up. Everything will work itself out in the end.
  • If you are completely lost, stop everyone and say, “I think we should tune.”
  • Happy are those who have not perfect pitch, for the kingdom of music is theirs.
  • If the ensemble has to stop because of you, explain in detail why you got lost. Everyone will be very interested.
  • A true interpretation is realized when there remains not one note of the original.
  • When everyone else has finished playing, you should not play any notes you have left. If you have notes left over, please play them on the way home.
  • A wrong note played timidly is a wrong note. A wrong note played with authority is an interpretation.

    Behold the Oracle’s wisdom:

    Personality type: Hippie

    In addition to being a hippie, you are a hypochondriac health nut. You secretly think that your insistence on only consuming all-natural products is because you’re so intelligent and well-informed; it’s actually because you’re a sucker. You’ve dabbled in Wicca or other pseudo-religions that attract morons and have changed your sexual orientation a few times this year. You probably live in California. Everyone who drinks grande soy latte with vanilla should be forced to eat a McDonald’s bacon cheeseburger.

    Also drinks: Beverages with lots of marketing that says they’re herbal and organic
    Can also be found at: Whole Foods, indoor rock climbing facilities
