Who cares? It isn't stout!

For those who are not familiar:

I have a big poster with this picture on it, that I saw in a bar in Copenhagen. It is a beer commercial from Carlsberg. Don't know if that is the original source of the picture.

If somebody is interested, I actually contacted Carlsberg and got an extremely high res picture file from them with this picture.

THAT IS ME!!!!

Seriously, I would LOVE to get a hi-res pic. Please?

For those of you who asked about the picture:

My main labtop broke down (the damn HD is dead) half an hour after posting here, and I don't think I can rescue any files from that. I have a couple of old computers lying around and the picture is on one of those old computers. Might take a couple of days to find it, but I will get back to you as soon as I do.

Could someone please clarify this for me? Is the tuba player in this picture playing the tuba(as tubashaman suggests), or is he drinking from it. I always thought of it as a giant beer stein. By the way, I know tubashaman cannot answer this question himself since I am on his foes list. I hope I made the top of his list. I know he will not be viewing this post.

This gets me to thinking(a dangerous activity for one not accustomed to it). Since I am on tubashaman's foe list, I guess I can post just about anything about tubashaman and he won't even know what it was. Perhaps this is a good use of the foe option. Anyone else out there want to put me on their foe list so I can post nasty things about them?

Since I'm obviously not on his foe list, I was wondering if there's a "reverse-foe" option on this thing?

And does the foe list work for quotes, too?

Yes sir!!

My HD was not more damaged than I successfully rescued a lot of my files. The beer pic is here. I seem to remember that it was larger, but it is only 1769x2483 (1.6MB). And the beer label is Tuborg.

The little funny symbol on the bell near the valves is a logo for a brass shop in Copenhagen called "Scandinavian Brass and Woodwind"

On the top it says: "Tuborg - does something for/to the music"

It is though large enough to see that the tuba player looks like it is Howard Johnson, and the label "Wibroe, Duckert & Partners" is visible too.

Just PM your Email address to me and I will send the picture to you.

Here is a lower res copy of the picture in question.

everybody will be going to the bar and asking for 6/4 sized beers now.

And you don't already?

The Big Ben sentences you to two weeks on the three-valved Eb tuba!

sadly,
I can't even order a beer yet.

I just do not understand the problem. I have never had issues with these tubas, save for the stuffiness and bad upper register on the ones with the newer leadpipe. We must blow the instrument differently.

I don't seem to have any trouble with my "older generation 641". The High school I graduated from had a newer one, and that could get stuffy at times.

And as for the used horn buying, all three of my horns are used; all three play just fine; you just have to watch out when buying them used.

Fee Fee, Fi Fi, Foe Foe, Fum.

Somebody I know keeps mentioning that he wants to turn a tuba into a keg I said, "good luck."

I'm currently starting a faux foe list, if anyone's interested in being on that one
