I just put pencils in my ears. 

When it comes to quarter-tone music - I like to do the same...

...and continue driving the pencils into my cranium until the horrific squealing of the piano stops.

That reminds me of one of my favorite musician jokes.

You know, you've probably all heard all of them.  You know, like how do you get a pianist off your front porch?  Pay her for the pizza.  Or whatever.

I save this one for younger children, though:  "How do you get a Ben Johnston-type mother-f***er to stop fu**ing your mom?   Easy!  You just cut his f***ing d**k into about a million pieces and spread it real thin!"

It's a hit with the kids.

A few dozen children gave me their parcels of candy yesterday evening when their handlers prompted them.

One would think so.  I mean, he's some dude who fell into some kind of batcave or whatever after some coke-fiend offed his parents, or whatever.

Bats aren't known for being muscular creatures, you know.

As far as I know. 

Like probably do a marine air horn and that m*fo is like on the ground, probably, doing that weird bat-screeching noise.

Tennis racket.  While riding polo ponies and wearing white flannel.

It's like a sport.  A blood sport, you know.  Definitely English noblemen came up with it, cause it's totally disgusting and weird.

Well, the genteel sport is not for everyone.

But, a little known fact is that the winner of the annual world cup is allowed to assume the title of Bat King.  Or, once in history, the winner was not of majority age, and he petitioned the council to be called the Bat Dauphin. 

And that is the origin of today's fictional character, Bat Man.  It's a more democratic title, and thus appeals to the commoners.

Some people find the sport inhumane and neglectful of New World traditions, so they go all santeria on the bats.  They light candles, sacrifice a chicken. 

There is no evidence that the latter practice is effective, so I hesitated to mention that fact.  Researchers claim some results against moths, but not bats.

Well, I guess we know who doesn't want to hunt bats with tennis rackets.

Bats is some good eating, though. 

The taste is somewhat similar to a cross between boiled horse hooves and shanks, and your average domestic dog, though, so bats are served heavily seasoned, usually.

That is true, I suppose.  Yes, as noted previously, arm-gimps can play some of Scriabin's music.  And, I have heard that American pianist Ray Charles was a marvelous interpreter of Scriabin's music.  But it turns out Mr. Charles suffered from extreme shyness, and didn't commit any of his renditions to tape.

Here's an interesting fact for today:  I did not realize that koalas are born with severe achromatographia.  I think that's a word.

Which is about the worst form of color-blindness.

They also do not care for the number eight, they love sweets made from chocolate or honey, and are easily provoked.

It must be because the real things in Australia can be pretty terrifying on their own.  This seems like pretty weak folklore.  The most I know is that koalas are supposed to be mean.  I guess they eat vegetation.  So this is a meat-eating mean koala?  And I read a little more on wikipedia.  Bigger than a regular koala and predatory.  ooOOOOoo.  Not much imagination there.  It's definitely not on the level of a Bigfoot or Lock Ness Monster.
