Popularity rank 88 #159. Our Own Band Contest

January 9, 2007

JOHN: Maybe we should run our own band contest. We could rig it so we could win.
DAN: Yeah!

RONI: Maybe we should practice more often so we sound better, and focus on the playing and songwriting and not on meaningless contests.
DAN: Yeah.

A pause.

JOHN: Ooo, we could get a cool trophy engraved with our names on it!
RONI: (sigh)
DAN: Ooo, yeah!

Popularity rank 89 #155. Which Song Will We Play?

November 6, 2006

JOHN: We can play ONE song in this contest. I say we do "Cathartic Target Practice".
RONI: "C.T.P." is not a SONG, John. It's a mass of unrelated words and notes.

JOHN: It's... it's a GOOD song!
DAN: How about that song that went so well last weekend?
RONI: (sigh) No, Dan.

DAN: What? Why not?
RONI: Because we're not playing a WEDDING this week, Dan.

RONI: I don't think this'll be a "Chicken Dance" kinda crowd.
DAN: Well, at least CONSIDER it....
JOHN: You all just... don't understand microtones.
CHRISTINA: (turns page)
