A thread for bad ideas...

[humBell]

Sorry for the slow response, but i woulda figured gloves would be antithetical to whole serpent handling experience.

Sightreading music, or playing a different instrument than expected in performance are probably a bad ideas. But it is exciting, especialy if it almost goes well. Well, I got varying degrees of that in my holiday playing. The least of which was "we're missing trombones, so play an octave up... where it makes sense." Well... I can almost think fast enough to jump that octave... alas, that meant i dropped the deciding if it made sense or not on the fly...

It's not a serpent, but seeing the listing for George, i wonder if i might beg an introduction...

Every blues man knows his flat round bass guitar strings require fried chicken grease for proper break in. Why not serpent??

[humBell]

Mighty fine antithetical ya got there!

Makes me reminisce on my colledge weekend team work outs where we played "space invaders" sitting down in each seat, standing up and moving over to the next, repeat adnauseum while someone tossed tennis balls our way. If they hit us, we were out. Supposed to work our sitting down muscles i think. If only there were other ways to make exercises fun...

Was the antithetical supposed to resemble a swinging railroad trestle??

Feeding the cats a bowl of chill was a bad idea (although they liked it.)

[humBell]

I don't know....

Chilli made for cats could be a thing...

Enter some cool cat chilli in the next chilli competition and see how it does.

[humBell]

Oh... y'all aren't going?

Can't leave the judicial system hangin'.... Perhaps i should go for ya?

What's on the docket? Or will this be a good chance to work on my sight readin' skilz?

[Three Valves]

I think I'll skip out on jury duty tomorrow. Nobody will miss me.

Only the undocumented with no fixed address get away with that around here, buster.

OK...The birth of YET ANOTHER bad idea...

When your kids annoy the hell out of you by bringing their dog with them when they come for a visit, slip the dog some ex·lax just before they load up to head home.

I do that to the kids before I send them home. (Miralax)

"England's top cowboy singer" indeed.

What could possibly go wrong with that?

Are there any tuba taboos i'm not supposed to mention?

[MartyNeilan]

Using Orajel to lubricate the threads on removable mouthpiece rims.

[humBell]

Isn't "taboo" just the pig-latin version of "tuba" ?

I approve of pigs speaking Latin.

"quadrupes graditur bona malis duobus cruribus."

(courtesy of google translate. Is that a bad idea to rely upon the interwebs for linguistic expertise?)

On the other hand, i think there is a dearth of tubas ergonimically designed for farm animal use, not just the pig.

No, that would be Ubatay.

My workplace is having a company-wife chili cook off for all employees lunch today from 12-1.
The bathrooms are closed from 2-3 today for already scheduled plumbing maintenance.

An explosive situation in the making

Keep your cat away from the chili this time!

Tuba tattoo??

Yeah, i don't want a tuba of mine punctured with inky pins...

Bu an interesting thought experiment... what kind of tattoo would your tuba get?
