Don't say that, Bill! You donate millions of dollars to charities and retired young to be with your family. I think you're a-okay!

I got so bored that I decided to stick video game controllers into the bell of my trumpet as if they were mutes. I tried every kind of controller I had:

-Genesis 6 button: did not do a thing
-Genesis 3 button: also did nothing
-Original X-Box controller-s: Actually, this muted alright. The notes still seemed in tune and it didn't sound too awful.
-Atari 2600 controller (rubbery repro. and plastic Flashback 2) Rubbery joystick repro. actually sounded pretty good, notes seemed in tune. Plastic one sounded much worse
-N64 controller: did nothing
-Saturn model 2 controller: did nothing
-Dreamcast: seemed to do a little bit, but not much.
-NES: Nothing
-SNES: Nothing
-Arcade Machine: Really muffles and messes up the sound.
-Fighter Stick SG-6: Actually didn't sound too bad as long as you stuck the joystick in first.
-X-Box 360: BIG SHOCKER. It actually sounded like a mute (like my one straight mute)! I'm serious! If you pay trumpet and you're caught without a mute and there's one of these laying around, you might just be able to get away with using it.

So, top 3 best controllers to use as mutes: 1) X-Box 360, 2) Atari 2600 joystick with rubbery joystick, 3) Fighter Stick SG-6 with joystick put in first. Original X-Box Controller S is a close 3rd.

Wasn't that the most useful and interesting you've read all day?

I played trumpet for exactly one year in middle school, I really only did it to get out of PE.

I was pretty decent at the thing, but after being sick over x-mas break (the entire break ) I somehow lost the ability to play it even as good as I had been.

I might have stuck with it had I remained in a state that allowed you to forgo PE for things like band. And the stories I hear from my wife about the shenanigans that happened on HS band trips...well, that would have been incentive to stay in band as well.

Oh well.

I knew someone was gonna say that...

Nothing quite so over the top.

Apparently BJ's and making out were a common occurrence on bus trips. It seems the band ladies mostly participated in that thing you usually do with 27yr old chicks:
