Besson 983+Colt45MaltLiquor=Works every time!

Yeah, but are you as baaaaaaad as Billy Dee Wiliams?

Well, are you???

36. Hmmm... a lot of that going around...

Maybe we should ask Billy Dee about his opinion on tuba sizes...

Nah. It means you like to drink cheap malt liquor and make out on the couch.

You're my kind of girl...

OK - here's a new suggestion:

In keeping with the Law of Conversation of Mass, should we classify horns by weight? American and English horns in Lbs and all others in Kg.

What if there is a 3/4 horn made of lead and a 7/4 horn made of tin?

This brings up a great new thread.

Dont the Perantucci tubas supposendly weigh more than a miraphone or MW of a similar size. I once started a topic asking why dont they make sizes of Contrabass tubas based on a 10 scale, 1 being the smallest 3/4 and 10 being the largest BAT......

Yeah, but I want one that goes to 11.

But why not just make 10 heavier?

English horns? First Billy Dee Williams, now we're discussing woodwinds? As the French say, "Que l'enfer?"

Ahh - TouchÃ©

You know as well as I that I meant "British." Now, be careful or Wade will be getting mean again (still?)

That said, at least it was a double reed - although I prefer "cor anglais" - my son plays contra-bassoon and never lets me forget that he has a lower range than I do.

And a 40K/38K will hold more beer than all of them.

You sound certain. Does it have a tap attached too?

No, but it does have a beer key (BK) instead of a water key (WK)!

Ah, this reminds me of a football game, a trombone and bottles of water

Shocking!

What shows up when you run a google images search for Prime Rib?

Your picture! I'll bet it has something to do with linking "google images - first page" to it!!
