TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Thanks to my gig last night with the improv gang, I'm in musical instrument geek mode.  They've acquired some new instruments since I last played with them, and of course, I want them all.  One of my favorites was the Marxophone

It's this really cool Zither with keys with little hammers.  Has a pretty interesting sound and it looked like it was about 100 years old.

There was also something like this, except it had a more standard trumpet mouthpiece and an extra valve.  Can't remember what it was called.  Apparently these were popular, or at least more common, in Nazi Germany.

The sounds is pretty neat too.  Sounds more like a reed instrument than a trumpet.

The guy with the long blonde/whitish hair is my music professor from the college days.  What you see on those tables is probably, I'm being generous here, about 25% of what's in the music room.  The guy has something like a dozen different keyboards/organs.  All kinds of drums.  All kinds of weird brass instruments. 

He's like the Willy Wonka of music.
