That thing makes some insanely bitching noises when you hammer on.

I once again note that the rst of us folks are pretty damn lucky that asians are too busy learning to play insane ukelele solos or reproduce mario sound-effects on the piano to, you know, take over the whole damn world.

I love me a bit of uke.  One of my most treasured gig-memories is seeing Jens Lekman play "Julie" at the end of a set entirely (and deliberately) off-mic while the audience was completely silent, all listening.  It was just voice and ukelele.  The fact that he was only the support act made it all the more awesome.

(The crowd was probably so respectful because it was a Darren Hanlon gig, and they're all about the love.)

I'm sure they're capable of it. And it terrifies me. :-(

It's not just that they'd take the world over. It's the fact that they'd do it backwards, and get all the power-up coins.
