2. humour
this is just meant to be for fun...the theme doesnt even have to be exclusively wt based.

my intention is to have fun with this, but to also be able to draw as many parallels as possible in the end that could apply to any group claiming exclusivity.

i invite anyone/everyone who wants to participate by adding/subtracting/changing to this dialogue to do so.

by the pharmer in
1. jw
2. friends
don't worry, this should be an easy elementary question, especially for a former professional musician.

(those of you wondering why i ask, i wonder just how stubbornly he will hold on to his false statement -- one of many -- even though it is a relatively benign and non-religious topic.

how many intervals in a harmonic minor scale, djeggnog?
