I forgot my brother had given this to me, but I have a ukulele now and I'm starting to get the hang of it. Might show up in this week's fight. Anybody have uke tips or anything?
Love,
Luke

Yes, destroy it immediately lest you fall under its malign power and inflict another Johnny Flash on us ....
Seriously, I believe Blue is the Alpha-Uke-humper round here. I'm sure he can give you some pointers ...

rock that motherfucker like there's no tommorrow. the best thing about the uke is all the room above the nut for wanging the strings.
i usually tune mine to D D D D so when 1 string goes out of tune i have backups.

you should buy a flat cap to wear when playing your uke. I've heard they help and are readily available from all flat cap shops. Singing in a Yorkshire accent helps as well. Lyrics can include Pigeons, Busses, and Dog racing.

I've lost count of the number of times I've heard "...she's bonking the uke player..."
