I was ingesting toasters as a pin fingered sceptre came ambling artfully in
the curtain fabric.  Only a long time ago I will percolate daily.  Heed not
my warnings foul pastry and thy father shall see air for she tells pea's
hells in great detachment.

i.e.  lets stick to a single reasonable definition of music and everyone
will know what they are talking about.  Who knows - if people can't settle
upon meanings of things, that might actually make sense one day.  What is
your problem with music defined alla Ian.  Henceforth this shall be known
as Crispy Music.

PS.  My friend could do ten times better nonsense than that above ...  no,
not the bit following 'i.e.'.  He would just open his mind and write it
down and the most beautiful nonsensical poetry would come out of his pen.
I should see if I can get some more out of him (for old times sake).
