Scale (music)

“Scales! Scales! Sca....Oh fuck this shit, let's go to Vegas”

– Wagner on Scales

In music, a scale is a pattern or ordered collection of notes and pitches. The most common scale was invented in 1812 by Julie Andrews von Trapp, The Austrian Singing Princess. It has become the basis of so many compositions that it is now known simply as "The Sound Of Music."

Princess Julie Andrews von Trapp developed the Sound of Music Scale in the Austrian Alps.

Scales have been measured by rulers and are byproducts of scars. Various different scales have been observed on people in the sun and reptiles in water. They are not to be confused with scares by anyone but oriental people who have their own dividend scales, such as gamelans or harps.

Dough

The elemental substance that provides the basic building block for most baked goods. Originally harvested from the musk glands and cuds of wild ruminants (hence dough-a-deer), it was successfully synthesized in 1947.

Dough as a name for the first note in the scale derives from the culinary usage; as dough is the source for the most basic of foods, so it is the source for the most basic of musical compositions.

This is not to be confused with doh, a semi-edible substance commonly found in children's modeling clay and the bags of stuff that the government of the United States of America drops on small, third-world countries.

Ray

Ray Charles was a seasoned performer

Blind from childhood, Charles nonetheless turns in an amazing performace as Foxx.

Ray Charles portrayed Jamie Foxx in the Oscar-winning movie "Jamie". Charles received an academy award in the category of Best Actor for his portrayal. It was considered by many as a challenging role for Charles, both emotionally and physically, as the blind Charles played the vision-unimpaired Foxx. The movie, which won 3 Golden Globes, 2 Oscars, and the AVN Award for Best DVDA Scene, details Foxx's climb from standup comedian to sitcom star to Oscar-winning actor.

Never a stranger to controversy, Charles's career nearly derailed in 1979 due to an unflattering comment he made about Elvis Costello: "I think he's a bit on the wan side, if you ask me... somewhat pasty-looking, wot?" The scandalous broadside earned Charles a Indian rope burn from Bonnie Tyler.

However, in 1982 Charles successfully revived his career when he discovered Germany, which he named after his long-time friend, Jermaine Jackson (Ray had never been good with spelling).

Me

"As good-looking as ever." - From Pick Up The Phone Booth and Die online!.

Unlike you, I am totally cool, financially solvent, in a healthy sexual relationship and in control of my drinking.

Although most commonly found in music, Me can be used in various expressions of self-interest:

• "Help me!"
• "Give me the keys."
• "Do you love me."
• "I want it all for me, me, ME!"
• "I WILL SUE YOU IN A Court of Law IN TRENTON, NEW JERSEY. Also I will have to mention me."

It is well advised to keep the usage of the word me within reasonable boundaries if you don't want to end up alone and forsaken.

Me was also the 52nd United States president.
