Maybe not a lockout, but perhaps a customer selectable 24 hour cooldown where the retailer puts the order on hold and then messages you back asking if you really wanted to order whatever it was.

I’m 35 and my only real experience with musical instruments is making sounds on a synthesizer and sequencing notes to make one-bar loops. Can’t actually play the keys, can’t read music, and have a terrible sense of pitch. I’d actually have to practice the Melodica and I have neighbors. I was just thinking of “Your Silent Face” and how Bernard’s Melodica totally makes the song. So to buy one just to learn that would be a not-great idea.

I think if I was sending out flyers to people I would slightly flavour them, so pets pay attention to them, or eat them. I think I would pay more attention to a shredded flyer than a whole one. Of course, maybe people already do this.

melodica update: i recorded myself playing the opening part to "love vigilantes" and sent it to my friends from high school who would recognize itthey did!lol

btw, how loud are melodicas irl? can they be played quietly?
― sueñx latinx (naus), Tuesday, 20 March 2018 03:41 (six years ago) link
also: do you play with the bendy-tube or direct mouthpiece?

i played it with the tubeit's not very loud, more like a flute than a bagpipe? iirc there is not a lot of volume control thoughthere is also a little button on mine and idk what it does

that makes sense! it didn't seem to change the sound at all. i haven't played any extended jams on it, so i doubt there was much spit buildup

Jay Leno's Headlines: Real but Ridiculous Headlines from the Internet's News Aggregators. Every page would be a screenshot of news.google.com, etc, where the headline didn't match the picture. For example, a current Google News headline "Seahawks release Boykin after assault allegation" is paired with a picture of Gregg Popovich. So a page would have a screenshot of that. And in the margins, a chubby little cartoon jay leno has a speech bubble that says something like "oh really?" or "is that right?" or "before...after", etc. deeper into the book, though, cartoon jay would confess to committing various unsolved murders that occurred in los angeles from 1980 to 2005.

I could see how maybe first around page 110 or so there's just one cartoon jay confession to a single murder that you might miss if you weren't paying attention, but then they become more frequent as the book continues.

An automated novelty Twitter account called Every Smiths Song Slaps, that tweets once a day about a Smiths song, in chronological order of their release (no duplicates, covers, or live versions), from
"Hand In Glove" slaps
to
"I Keep Mine Hidden" slaps
― JRN, Wednesday, 28 March 2018 05:07 (six years ago) link
Scratch that, "I Keep Mine Hidden" was the last one recorded, but not the last one released. The last post would be
"I Won't Share You" slaps
Glad we got that cleared up.

Okay, so imagine a Mad Magazine parody, yeah? Inbanana Jones and the Temple of Goons, for instance. Where the jokes are basically just swapping out words with other funny-sounding words or sardonic references to the work being parodied. Now imagine the relative incoherence of a Mad Magazine parody of a movie that doesn't even exist. My terrible idea? Making a film adaptation of that theoretical Mad Magazine parody of a nonexistent film. I'll be posting a link to the GoFundMe soon.

The first half of the underground theme from Super Mario Bros is a ringer for Miles Davis's track "Calypso Frelimo". When the underground theme re-appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, its rhythm was modified slightly.

a musical about rajneeshpuram using the slightly modified music of the smashing pumpkins. the bhagwan would sing "For Sheela" with the small edit:

"To Sheila" only requires editing one letter and would be sung by ma shanti b.
