   Wow, Dylan managed to play out of tune on the vibes.  That's pretty impressive.

	That's ok, it wasn't actually laplace, it was bizarro laplace. And....."G <"!

	Staring with a mix of horror and amusement at laplace's corpse, I begin to play an out of tune and sloppily played version of 'Master Builder' on a vibraphone.

	In the last throes of vitality my corpse complains that it wishes to be referred to in a non-gender specified manner and then slowly deceases.

	You miss and impale laplace who was standing in the corner. I guess he looses. And he didn't even get to play anything, too!

	Annoyed at Shakespeare's self-indulgent actions, I pick up my music stand and hurl it like a javelin in his general direction before screaming at the top of my lungs.

	I make sure my suspenders are on straight, then start doing a manically syncopated drum beat on a kiddie sized drum set, and don't look up at the other musicians. Ever.

	The Cobra Game, invented by avant-garde saxophonist John Zorn, is a game of musical improv in which a bandleader coordinates (or disrupts) the improvisational process through a system of hand gestures and signal cards. You can see an example of this here. Let's play Cobra ourselves. I will start as bandleader, but others are free to take over at just about any time unless it gets out of hand. I hold up a sign marked Q, wave it over my head three times, and then slowly and quite delicately replace it on the table.
