Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.
Oz ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

erinaceous - her grandparents gave her an accordian last Christmas. It's not a toy -- and was a little bit too much for her to deal with at the time.

Ooh, the kalimba looks like fun. Also, there was a translucent pink Yamaha recorder (on Amazon). She loves pink.

That running bit made me snerk as much as finding out that Ann's name is really Annabelle.
I second the kalimba idea. Easy to play, hard to knock out of tune, and much less annoying than some of cumbersome alternatives. And kalimbas are happy instruments. Even West African songs of suffering sound happy on a kalimba.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I thought U2 in concert couldn't get any better than seeing them at Madison Square Garden in October. Then I saw them in Vegas Saturday night. I finally made it into the Ellipse and spent the concert going apeshit in the second row.
Even though that makes me kind of biased, this was the best show out of the 5 I've seen so far. Mary J Blige singing "One"! Brandon Flowers singing "In a Little While"! The very rare appearance of "Until the End of the World"! The return of "Mysterious Ways"! "Bad" as a closer, with the closing snippet of Patti's "People Got the Power"!
Oh, man. I doubt Portland is going to top that next month, but I'm really looking forward to finding out.

The dictionary namechecked on AD is a not erinaceous's, but a sibling of it. Erinaceous's dictionary, being a dictionary of American English, would have been useless in the circumstance of the episode.
Music reference to keep this on-topic: Music! I understand it makes the people come together.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
It was actually my dictionary! I sent them the PDF. It was page 1377! I think they said "OED", though, since EVERYONE DOES, despite me wearing red, white, and blue, waving a flag, and shouting "redcoats go home!" at every opportunity.
As far as I know, they totally made up that "British definition," though, which was GENIUS. I need to watch that show more often.

Erinaceous, you have the coolest job.
