Have YOU taken that test, Bloke?
Gotta be buff to buff tubas.

Tuba-player-shaped applicants will be considered, as long as they are unable to name any "games that people play on their phones"...and are unable to list more than two or three "apps". Towards the end of each day (when I feed the fish...and they're eating less-and-less because it's getting cold, so feeding for the year will probably cease soon) I try to get out into the bottoms and fill in a couple of washes. I did these two yesterday... so if you can pick up and carry a 100 lb. piece of wood (or roll an oblong 300 - 400 lb. stump through the woods)...and do it over-and-over until SOMETHING HAS ACTUALLY BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, you're probably eligible to apply. This recreational/"break time" portion of each apprentice's day (rather than pointlessly and metrosexually riding a bicycle from home-to-home - while dressed in spandex, no less - through a "Black Lives Matter" roadblock) can be flexibly scheduled before/after breakfast or before/after dinner. Moreover, activities such as these serve as a good "warm-up to" or "warm-down from" the challenging studies and assignments to be encountered each day.
Much of the curriculum is mandatory, but there are elective courses available - one of which is "Livestock and Bee Whispering 101" (course # 00001100112).

Sounds like I need to retire and move to BlokePlace. I always wanted to learn brass repair. Brutally honest critiques in lessons are appreciated. My grievances can usually be solved (or temporarily assuaged) with single malt scotch, Geo. Dickel, Maker's Mark, or the lovely products from Shiner, TX. I appreciate candor, common sense, logic, fresh air, smoked meats, and the fine offerings from John Deere. I'm allergic to cats, but I have a connection to buy Benadryl in bulk. I own bedding, and I can work a chainsaw. I can roll logs, carry logs, and if that won't work, I have a Jeep that can do anything. I don't know anything about bees, but I like honey enough to learn. Honey is money - let's get to work. Besides, I have chickens, and bees can't be much worse. It ain't rocket science/we're not building watches in Switzerland. I'm in shape... the shape of a tuba player. I don't play games on my phone, and the apps I have are apps that have a useful purpose. I don't need the school to provide me with instruments. I have reliable transportation. I have self-defense, tactical, and firearms training (own my own weapons and gear), so I can provide additional support to the guard dogs.
When does school start, and where do I sign?
All that, plus $8.00, will get you a venti at Starbucks. Or in my case, a large can of Folgers.
I can never tell what's legit and what's a parody around here. The TubeNet trolls are really good at their job. Is bloke really having a bunch of people over to his house, or is this whole post his attempt to make fun of all the people who use this forum for recruiting?
I mean, until about a month ago, I thought his mouthpieces were an elaborate hoax.

Pretty sure this thread is a parody, but it's a hilarious one at that.
If I'm mistaken, though, bloke should be expecting my application any minute.
