• danhobbes: i have to finish this email interview for the post crescent first.
• danhobbes: i could use your help...
• SleepyBonesJack: yeah?
• danhobbes: for some reason i have to answer the jack ass question: "why is your band better than every other band?"
• danhobbes: got any funny ideas?
• SleepyBonesJack: haha... um... give me a second
• SleepyBonesJack: top of my head "we go to eleven" (spinal tap reference) but its not that funny... um, because every other band sucks... but that might not be good...
• SleepyBonesJack: hmm...
• SleepyBonesJack: i don't know... what a jackass question
• danhobbes: totally.
• danhobbes: there has to be a really funny question.
• danhobbes: sorry...
• danhobbes: answer
• SleepyBonesJack: yeah.... um...
• SleepyBonesJack: To fully understand music, we must first be fluent with its meter, rhyme and figures of speech, then ask two questions: One, how artfully has the objective of the music been rendered and two, How important is that objective? Question 1 rates the music's perfection; question 2 rates its importance. And once these questions have been answered, determining the music's greatness becomes a relatively simple matter. If the music's score for perfection is plotted on the horizontal of a graph and its importance is plotted on the vertical, then calculating the total area of the poem yields the measure of its greatness. A song by any other might score high on the vertical but only average on the horizontal. A Wandering Sons song, on the other hand, would score high both horizontally and vertically, yielding a massive total area, thereby revealing the music to be truly great.
• SleepyBonesJack: that's kind of a rip-off of a quote from Dead Poets Society, but it's totally ridiculous and way too long, though kinda funny if people actually took you seriously
• danhobbes: true
• SleepyBonesJack: man, my computer is being a piece of shit right now
• SleepyBonesJack: brb

• We cant seem to find any graph paper at the moment so i dont think that we can answer this question properly. sorry.
• danhobbes: there
• SleepyBonesJack: haha
• danhobbes: sound good?
• SleepyBonesJack: sure, if you think people will get that you're joking
• danhobbes: well it doesnt really take a stance on the question anyway...it just tells you how to get the answer...
• danhobbes: and you need a graph for that.
• SleepyBonesJack: hahaha... yeah that works, i suppose...
• danhobbes: aight.
• danhobbes: i sent that shit. \
• danhobbes: i doubt he will print all that.
• danhobbes: but what ever.
