The truck is filled with trombones

[taterguy]

ANy questions?

[TexasTowelie]

1. Valve or slide?

[taterguy]

2. At this point . . .

We don't know

[eppur_se_muova]

28. Maybe both ?

(Yes, they named it the Superbone -- an MF Superbone at that.)

[hifiguy]

3. My hovercraft is full of eels!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. My nipples explode with delight.

Drop your panties, sir William, I cannot wait til lunchtime.

[hifiguy]

7. Monty Python will still be funny 100 years from now.

The classics endure.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. Nobody has ever made me laugh harder.

[A HERETIC I AM]

32. This sub-thread needs a Fish Slapping dance.

[pinboy3niner]

35. Cool!

But it was only a fish wound.

[A HERETIC I AM]

36. " I've had worse"

"You liar!"

"Come on, ya pansy!"

[hifiguy]

43. The first time I saw that I laughed so hard

I thought I was going to have a stroke.

[panader0]

4. The piano is drunk and the rug needs a haircut.

[Scuba]

59. That's just silly ...

[In_The_Wind]

5. Why?

[hifiguy]

8. Because.

Or, alternatively, why not?

[In_The_Wind]

9. To answer the question

"why not": because they might rust.

[antiquie]

12. Are all trombones musical instruments and

anyway, does brass rust?

[In_The_Wind]

15. Until tonight I always thought they were.

Urban Dictionary ~ trombone is also a code word for boner.





Brass gets discoloration spots.
My antique brass bed would be worth $5,000 if it didn't have spots. I'm going to sell it as is.

[antiquie]

18. I think UrbanDic makes that stuff up dynamically.

That wasn't what I had in mind.

I have a tapestry panel that would be worth a few -- except for a tear that knocks it way down. Your bed luck will be better.

[In_The_Wind]

19. Just between you and me:

UrbanDics usually make up lots of stuff.

I could use some good bed luck about now.
I'll miss it though. Sigh. Lots of great memories. It's still beautiful.

[Earth_First]

10. Flatbed or pickup? nt

[taterguy]

11. No

[Earth_First]

14. East or Westbound? nt

[In_The_Wind]

17. Ladened or unladened?

[taterguy]

48. Who wants to know?

[LiberalEsto]

13. But is the pickup packed with piccolos?

Perhaps.

[kentauros]

31. It is packed with a peck of piccolos.

Unpickled, of course.

[Autumn]

16. Only one. Are there 76 trombones?

Because if not you don't know Music man.

[R B Garr]

21. I was wondering when someone was going to bring up 76 trombones.

I'm trying to get ahold of that movie now and can't find it on Netflix or the local video stores we go to. Bummer. Something that we saw on the teevee made us want to see it, and it's hard to find now. I barely remember it from watching it so long ago, but my SO said he never saw it, so we're hunting for it now.

edit: It was a July 4th special that had that song and a bit of the movie playing and made us start looking for it.

[pinboy3niner]

24. To tide you over, here's Opie

[R B Garr]

29. lol, very nice! Love it. Thank you!

What's weird is that I'm kind of surprised he wants to even see this movie as he doesn't really like musicals, but he was really interested in it after seeing the 4th of July show, so I'll keep looking for it.

Thanks pinboy3niner.

[R B Garr]

47. Found Music Man at the local library this morning! Should have thought of that sooner.

This thread was a great reminder.

[pinboy3niner]

55. Great!

It popped up on TV a couple of years ago and it was really fun to see again after so many years. Have fun!

[Autumn]

60. I watched it a couple of years ago. I hope you find it.

I don't know why but for some reason your reply to me didn't show up in replies to my posts.

[R B Garr]

65. I did find it at the local library. Yay! It was fun to watch.

It's such a classic with those old Hollywood styles. Really nice. I was glad to see your post which reminded me about the movie. It was worth the search.

[pinboy3niner]

22. You got a lotta brass!

[cyberswede]

23. I hope he lets that one slide.

[sakabatou]

25. Must be pretty sad then

[Aquavit]

26. The butter is in the chair

That's about as much as I remember how to say from my high school Spanish class.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

27. "Never look at the trombones. It only encourages them."

said Richard Strauss, composer and conductor.

What's the diff between a bull and an orchestra?

On the bull the horns are in the front and the asshole is in the back........

[pinboy3niner]

37. Inslide jokes! LOL!

[hifiguy]

40. What's the difference between a violin and a viola?

A viola burns longer.

How do you get the lead guitarist off your front step?

Pay for the pizza.

[kentauros]

30. Just keep them away from the bassoons or they'll mate!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._D._Q._Bach#Tromboon
The tromboon was developed by Peter Schickele, a skilled bassoonist himself, and featured in some of his live concert and recorded performances. Schickele called it, "a hybrid – that's the nicer word – constructed from the parts of a bassoon and a trombone; it has all the disadvantages of both."

[hifiguy]

38. Ah, the tromboon.

That may be the single funniest sounding word in the English language.

[kentauros]

42. There is competition.

At least, thanks to the old "Hate Mail" we used to have around here. One such letter-writer didn't know how to spell "spewed" and thus spelled it phonetically:

spude

[hifiguy]

44. I miss the hate mail

and Top 10 Idiots. Those were always fall-down funny.

[kentauros]

45. I agree.

I guess Discussionist makes up for it. Maybe someone will condense the best/worst from that site for our amusement

[Blue Owl]

51. It's a cold day for trombooning...

n/t

[Eagle_Eye]

33. Message received - the operation will begin on schedule

This is not a drill, right?

[taterguy]

34. It is what it is

[hifiguy]

39. Plan X is now underway.

Now there's an old DU meme.

[annabanana]

41. thread useless without pics. . . . .n/t

[kentauros]

46. I have a question.

Why is the 'n' in the word "ANy" capitalized?

[taterguy]

49. You're not at the right level to receive that information

[kentauros]

53. Well, I hope I'm not at the right level.

But, like most everyone else here, I am at the Left level...

[trof]

50. The anvil blooms at midnight. I repeat...

The anvil blooms at midnight.
That is all.

[LiberalElite]

52. Aha! Disinformation!

The anvil bloomed last week.

[csziggy]

54. By now I was sure the truck would have arrived at the cabana

Those monkeys need something to do...



(Yeah, I know it's a chimp - try finding a monkey playing a trombone on short notice!)

[taterguy]

56. Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

[WinkyDink]

57. I still have mine, though! Pbbbbbt!

[kentauros]

58. You need to put the mouthpiece into the trombone

before you can make any music-like sounds with it.

Your embouchure needs work!

[WinkyDink]

61. My embouchere is embou-sure ain't! Not quite like playing the piano!

[kentauros]

64. Yeah, the only lip-strength you need for playing the piano

is in being able to drink a stein of bier while still playing

[MrScorpio]

62. Are any of them rusty?

[benld74]

63. Are the spit valves emptied????

[charlie and algernon]

66. John has a long mustache. I repeat, John has a long mustache.

The trombones are red and the Crow flies when the cow comes home.

[shenmue]

67. Bleep blop gloo

51. Underline, smoo.

[underpants]

68. What banjo playing in these days?

[pinboy3niner]

69. If it's taterguy and trombones it must be the T-Whine-A Brass

[underpants]

70. If you can't beat em join drum

[pinboy3niner]

71. I think you meant to post on Skinner's other website...

Percussionist.

[underpants]

74. Oh yeah that. Haven't been there in tenor fife weeks

[antiquie]

75. Duzy

[lame54]

72. How many Tom Jones fit into a truck...

[pinboy3niner]

73. It's Not Unusual, Pussycat

If I Only Knew.
