contrabass tuba

A tuba designed for marching that resembles a concert tuba in shape but is carried on the left shoulder. They usually weigh between 35 and 55 pounds.

The visual advantage for such a tuba on the field is that it can be held in carry (held vertically in front of the person) and in various other positions.

They are called Contras for short.

See the pic above.

Contras are the most badass instruments ever.

bladder contraction

This is a cold weather problem. Everything contracts when it gets cold, including the bladder.

Ever notice that the urge to take a piss dramatically increases when you step out into the cold?

Yeah, I better take a piss before I go leave, it's cold as hell outside, I don't want to have bladder contraction issues.

contradiction

A contradiction is two propositions used in combination where one makes the other impossible. It is something that is A and non-A at the same time. A contradiction, therefore, cannot exist in reality, since existence exists (whereas a contradiction could not possibly exist). In the cognitive process, reaching a contradiction as a conclusion or evaluation of reality is proof of an error in one's thinking.

A square circle is a contradiction in terms. It cannot even be imagined.

"Anyone who denies the law of non-contradiction should be beaten and burned until he admits that to be beaten is not the same as not to be beaten, and to be burned is not the same as not to be burned." (Avicenna, Medieval Philosopher)

contradiction

Calling something two things that are the opposite of each other.

Contradictions: That chick is so hot, but ugly.

That game was cool, but gay.

I'm the nicest person you'll ever meet, but ask me for money, I'll slaughter you.
