*mental note* Thanks
But with stekim you should be thinking in terms of 'mental notes' rather than a single, solitary, searing, high pitched, ear-piercing note - though I do see where you are coming from in this.

The confusion in his head is better likened to a booming cacophany of unresolved dissonance; imagine a bag of cats hysterically shrieking inside your skull. Unrelenting. For eternity.

That kind of thing.

Imagine, now, what a garbled swirl of inanities such a head will produce, and release into the unsuspecting ether!

A discussion of consonance and dissonance in music is most apt in consideration of our demented, cat-plagued brother where it tells us that it (he) "...can be difficult for some people to listen to, because of the unreleased tension."

But we love him all the same....not for any quality particular to him, but because we are broad-minded people.

Advice to newbies: treat people as you would in everyday, dont spend too long in the bathroom, and mind you dont trip on the Jew-haters sprawled at the door on your way in (step over them - if you must).
