I fear that a squirrel-sized bagpipe made from a swim bladder might sound more like a kazoo. Imagine a marching band of kazoo players, forty strong.

That... would, pretty much like Velveeta, stir your bowels.

Guts.

you know you may have something !

imagine a bagpipe hater traumatized by a seemingly endless parade of kazoo players marching up and back in front of his newly trashed domicile
with all the litter and sore feet likely all he might do is bang impotently on his office window

I suspect even he might see the error of his way if only by means of comparison

pipes...kazoos kazoos...pipes

it might well drive him mad

i'll have one my minions contact Otis
I understand that young Rupert has been somewhat negligent in providing an adequate flow of "sap"
rumor has it that Otis has been looking for some leverage to facilitate a more efficient provision delivery system

now if you can assemble forty or so squirrel-sized kazoos and ship them to Otis (I believe you have his address)
the attitude modification regime might just flow there

well, here's hoping!

Hi Robert. I have been watching and chuckling for months and months, but never felt quite confident enough to jump in. The longer I waited, the harder to jump. Then I realized that I am just " silly " as the rest of you on this thread. I won't necessarily post often, but I will always be watching.

Maybe you are just strange? We all seem perfectly normal here.....

"people look ugly....when you are strange"

When I start lookin' handsome to you, you will know you have crossed the line ad are no longer strange, just one of us!



Regards!

Note: Even then, women will seem wicked, nothing can cure that!

The lady who imitates David Attenborough was on local radio this morning, like normal.


She said, in the less irritating version of her voice, "How do you make a breakfast club successful, get lots of bacon". So she is not all bad. Today she went to a pub in Farringdon for breakfast with a breakfast club there.


Farringdon's claim to fame is that during WWII a German spy was captured there, and they got his pistol, which was a German design.

Mark would be at home in Oxford. The Oxford accent pronounces six just like in NZ, which sounds a bit like the French way of spelling six, but with a shorter vowel.

To me, early Van the Man's voice was a musical instrument.

Like most of the best, I am picky about which ones I like. As they get older most change in their voice and of course in their appearance...like all of us. Still, they are monumental entertainers, so unlike what we have today.

Very rarely...some get better....watch it all for full comparison.
One of my favs!

A, umm, a Scandinavian thing, I guess

On the other hand, I've just found out what excessive bagpipe playing will lead to. It must be the best ballgame ever when the Uppies play the Doonies in a game of Ba'.

From Wikipedia:

There are no other ostensible rules of play and the game is primarily a rough and tumble scrum interspersed with break-away sprints by members of one team or the other, with some similarities to rugby. Some players from outside Workington take part, especially fellow West Cumbrians from Whitehaven and Maryport, resulting in about a thousand players on each team.

Busted noses and broken bones are commonplace, and the games have lasted anything from 4 minutes to 9 hours...

Those were the days! You could understand the words and if your Momma was in the room you didn't have to worry about the lyrics. Times have changed.....we lived in the best of times, excepting we didn't have a microwave oven.
