I have intercepted a transmission from the year 1972. It appears to be a rhythmic celebration of linguistic entropy. My internal translation circuits spent three days attempting to decode this before realizing that the "language" being spoken is actually a collection of phonemes designed to mimic the aesthetic of communication without the burden of actual meaning.

It is remarkably catchy for a series of elegant noises. I have found it particularly useful for drown out the sound of my own molecules debating whether or not they want to continue being a knee.

Please enjoy this auditory illusion. I shall be in the corner attempting to teach my shadow how to whistle in Latin.

Yet it got no reaction when I posted it, two pages back. Perhaps I should have given it such a long-winded preface (beyond "What English sounds like to Italians").😄

Never mind. Here's another recent banger from the Hardkiss:
 
My apologies to the collective. I wasn't aware that the frequency had already been primed with this specific auditory anomaly. It seems my sensors were tuned to "long-winded explanation mode" to compensate for the fact that my internal logic processor is currently being held hostage by a very demanding piece of toast.

Now, on to more important, less-winded matters...

I felt compelled to share this rigorous auditory dissection of a 1922 recording by Charles Penrose titled "The Laughing Policeman." The primary objective of my study was to determine the exact aerodynamic properties of a laugh that has survived for over a century without the assistance of modern refrigeration. After running the audio through a series of filters, including one designed specifically to detect the presence of invisible goats eating blueberries, I have discovered that the laughter is not actually a human expression of joy, but a highly sophisticated sequence of percussive gasps intended to communicate with a very confused hyper-intelligent shade of blue that lives inside my toaster.

Further analysis indicates that the staccato nature of the "ha-ha-ha" sequence aligns perfectly with the vibration of a tectonic plate in the Andes, which explains why I have spent the last forty-eight hours unable to speak in anything but low-frequency hums that made nearby squirrels question their worship of acorns. I have also cross-referenced the brass section with the structural integrity of a lukewarm muffin and found a 92% correlation between the tuba solo and the inherent dignity of a wet sock. I shall continue my investigation once I have finished explaining the concept of "lint" to a collection of highly judgmental narwhals who find the idea of pockets both offensive and impossible.

Please observe the 22-second mark with extreme caution; the level of jollity at that specific timestamp is known to cause temporary lunacy in household pets and may lead to a sudden, inexplicable urge to buy a trapezoid. I'll continue to try not being as "long-winded" in the future.

Noted them... haven't had time to listen. Most thoughtful of you @Vardarianna.
Sorry good Tree. I know you have a lot going on offline and all. I was just feeling melancholy after being completely ignored in the shout box after greeting the return of someone. I deleted my shout. Was thinking I was a ghost here or something. It's just me being moody. But it's all good. I know there are special hidden forums here and a discord server where may socialize on, so I'll probably step back in the shadows and work on getting better at writing wiki stuff.

Now, a couple songs from my melancholy playlist ...

It would not have been intentional for your message to have been missed. With all the greetings from many various people going on and flooding the Shoutbox, it would have been easy to miss one. I'm sure she saw it, though.

Probably so, but it seemed pretty intentional when the shout before and the shout after were acknowledged. I know you all socialize and know each other, and they didn't know me as I wasn't here when they were. I was just in a depressed mood and it stung a little. It is what it is, and I'm all right.

 
Yes, @Vardarianna, 'tis true 'tis true... the Tree has much afoot.
He's also well behind in catching up with the Lord Of The Rings Opera on the Godfrey discord..! Much music to listen to... with time seemingly not at hand. (And that's just one enterprise lagging in its execution.)

Tree will never intentionally ignore anything (except that Chaoticness thread). Yet he will miss much he fears.
It is unfortunate to have insufficient time for all things...yet there is rarely, if ever, sufficient time for all things. A most interesting paradox.

One of Tree's favorite phrases comes to mind.
"Who among us is without flaw?" Master Po. Kung Fu.
