We should start a band.
You and me? What would we play?
Not just you and me, the whole gang.
We’re a gang now? Do we get denim vests?
Like in Warriors?
Exactly like in Warriors.
Yes. But seriously let’s start a band.
Do you even play an instrument?
What?
Oh man. All right, I don’t know that any of us do.
So?
Uhm. How are we going to form a band if none of us can play?
It didn’t stop the Sex Pistols!
I suppose that’s true.
You know it’s true. There’s a long tradition of this.
So we’d be a punk band?
Ever hear of a great classical music band that can’t play?
I’ve never heard of a classical music band.
Fine, orchestra, then.
We don’t have enough people to form an orchestra.
You know what I mean!
I do, and no I’ve never heard of that.
Given our niche…
Which is not being able to play anything…
Exactly! Given that we kinda have to be a punk band.
All right then what would you play? Lead guitar?
I was thinking Theremin.
Theremin! Punk Theremin!
Genius, no?
I admit to liking this. Maybe we could all play unusual instruments.
Zeusaphones!
Those are the Tesla coils, right?
Uh-huh!
Yes! I will play the Zeusaphone! Natasha can play the didgeridoo!
This will be the greatest band ever on Earth.
What can we call it?
A band this awesome? I don’t know.
We need a name that lives up to the band.
We do. How about the Awesomes?
Eh, too obvious. What about the Beastones?
They are already a band.
No!
Yup.
How grand.
I know! Still we need a name.
I’ve got it. Harold’s Purple Crayon.
What?
Harold’s Purple Crayon. Like the book?
I understood it, I just didn’t expect it.
Well?
I love it!
Yeah! Let’s go tell everyone else!
To the Batphones, Sven!
Atomic contact lists to power!
Dialers to speed!
Let’s call out!

I did a whole thing on theremins and Zeusaphones for tutoring in physics just a few months back. Get out of my head.
