They try to tell you it's a fact they're better than you at X, because they just are, dude.  |

Just make sure that you don't let him leave for summer vacation without reminding him. Be a real shame to waste a good embarrassing moment.

MM | Dear heavens, my thoughts exactly. I had to read that three times before I understood it, and by then both the post and the story were so dull that it didn't seem funny.
Just as bad as my mate, who uses 'lol' in place of any punctuation mark. Makes me cringe at the fact that I never paid attention at school but still know basic stuff like that. Not that everyone should have perfect grammar and punctuation, but a comma or two would certainly work wonders.
On topic, no instrumentalist needs music theory to play music. Though they'll need to to create music. That said, I know minimal music theory and I only play my own songs. So basically, I don't know what I'm saying.

I played with a guy who owned a guitar that thought key was only an option.
If he happened to somehow fall into it. |
