Dysfunction Dick: Does anyone have any questions about how orchestras dysfunction--I mean, work? / {{Freudian slippers!}}

He even gave me a reed for Christmas. / Heather: Oooh / Ren: *click* / Aimee: Awesome! / Jim: Interesting... / Dani: I want to see! / {{Somehow I managed to get a picture of Eugene Izotov's reed, but not of Graham. What do you *mean* my priorities aren't in order?}}
Lord of the Strings ONE REED TO PLAY THEM ALL / Reed: Mwahahaha! / A light, pretty reed for Brahms / One dark and strong for Bach / One super-responsive for La Scala qualms / And Beethoven 3 must not cack. / One reed to bring and play / In front of the panel today / One reed to play them all / One reed to tell them / One reed to do it all / And in auditions nail them. / {{I am such a nerd.}}

Perfect Reed Dick: You need a reed that's light and easy, with great response and a dark tone. / Ren: And while we're dreaming, I'd like a pony... / {{and to win the lottery and for Randy Munroe to realize we are meant to be...}}
 
Some Easy Instrument Dick: Tongue lightly so you can't hear it, so the note just appears like some easy instrument like a clarinet. / {{I know, I know. The clarinet is not easy, it's just not difficult.}}
They're a Little Sensitive Cary Ebli: The violas are going beem-bop beem-bop--and there are a lot of viola jokes, so we don't mess with the violas. / {{I love the viola, but nonetheless am terrified that someday they will all snap and it will be the Viola Apocalypse.}}
Only One Step Down FIELDS ARRANGED BY PURITY / Sociologists / Psychologists "Sociology is just applied psychology." / Biologists "Psychology is just applied biology." / Chemists "Biology is just applied chemistry." / Physicists "Which is just applied physics. It's nice to be on top." / Mathematicians "Oh, hey, I didn't see you guys all the way--" / Mathematician: Who are you? / Ren: I'm a musician. / {{We oboists are especially mathy because of all the measurements and precision that go into reeds.}}
Not Neurotic Guy: ...so the elf said to the reindeer, "Get your own eggnog!" / Ren: Heeheehee / Guy: What instrument did you say you play? / Ren: Oboe. / Guy: Man, you're not *nearly* neurotic enough or crazy enough to be an oboist. / Ren: I'm not? / Ren: Oh no. / {{Someone once told me I'm not neurotic enough to be an oboist, and I worried about it for days.}}
