First of all, what are you talking about?!  5finger trills?  All 5 fingers, or the 5th finger with another finger?  Like 4th or 3rd?  Stupid question on my part.  How do you trill 5 fingers...
Second, "crank them" "cram them"?
Nope.  No idea what you're talking about.

CRAM EM' ...not sure what that means though, and especially unsure of what the apostrophe following the "EM" represents..

It means the OP doesn't know how or where to use an apostrophe.

..and that I do know and still misuse them? That must frustrate some people.

Maybe he meant em' as opposed to 'em because he is trying to substitute for the word them's...
Still, that would not be correct unless he properly completed that sentence...

Crank em's bass!!!

Admins deleted the penis thread, anyway I think it was more interesting than this one. What about banning this beethovenopuswhatever troll?  ;D

I guess I'll go back to practicing with my nose...It's going rather well otherwise, but I keep getting stuck between the black keys  :(

Also I am having slight problems with the trills...my jaw is a bit stiff...

I'm not going to waste my time with this particular question!  ::)
Cast your votes everyone! Hands up, who thinks Beethovenopus2no3mov2 is an idiot?

You seem to be very good at asking very open ended (and stupid!) questions, but not contributing very much, if anything at all, to the wider discussion yourself! You never even seem to respond to anyone else's posts which have arisen from your tantalizing questions!!! Furthermore, judging by this post, you are not very good at explaining yourself either. (Deliberately so I think!) Annoying.
>:(
