A fairly active member was talking about doing this to the former mayor of Toronto, possibly inspired by a "Family Guy" cartoon, where kid with sousaphone trails after fat guy who eventually announces that he has a glandular problem. I suppose in this case the guy escaped tuba harassment when he resigned due to ill health.

Stroke of genius. And he's encouraging copycats:

Fun is fun, but in drawing attention to a very small and very stupid parade it may serve their objectives better than yours. Anyway ... isn't the idea here that sousaphones are essentially ridiculous? I'm not sure this is a really cool development.

I read that, according to local news reports, approximately 35 demonstrators showed up, and the largest contingent was from Michigan. I hope they enjoyed the tuba serenade, especially the Valkyries bit.

I just have to get my sousaphone working.

Sousaphones are essentially ridiculous, in appearance, size, shape and sound. They have a perfect place in the theater of the absurd.

True, but I want want that plays freely and in tune. I like my absurdity to be as effortless as possible.

Find yourself a King 1251 or 1258 with decent valves: effortless absurdity.
