Olive The Musical!


You know how when a musical note is sounded at, let's say 120 Hz? You know how all of the overtones are multiple integers of the fundamental tone of 120 Hz so that the overtones would be at 240 Hz, 360 Hz, 480 Hz etc.? Well, did you also know that if a synthesizer is programmed to play just the overtones without the fundamental tone, your brain would artificially register the missing tone? This is referred to as the "restoration of the missing fundamental." Well, it turns out the same thing happens at parties...

Cunty: That housewarming was a riot.
Dum Dum: I know. I think I had like 4 mojitos.
Cunty: You're so lucky you're not pregnant anymore.
Dum Dum: I know. Olive, you were so funny with that doorman. I thought I was gonna pee
my pants.
Cunty: Olive gets so freaked when people say shit about her hand. I thought you were
gonna deck that guy. Did you guys see John's suede couch? What the hell was that
about? Should we order some poppers?
Olive: Uh... I didn't go, remember?
