Close to Home by John McPherson for January 27, 2024

Local oompah group.

“Tuba, or not tuba, that is the question: whether ‘tis nobler in the minds of men to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous blurts and blats, or end them with a mighty blast; aye, there’s the rub!” – Anonymous

They escaped from the bagpipe group that caused all the rioting.

They’re all as pixelated as Long Fellow Deeds.

That’s great, except those are sousaphones.

The noise of the Tubas will cover any err, blurts of gas you may emit.

It might be relaxing them, but what they’re playing reminds me of the “Womp Womp Womp” sound of sad trombones.

This fad will fade and soon it will be accordions.

Stretched out to the next level:

… and all the punk rockers have formed Piccolo circles!

Yet none of them look particularly relaxed.

I can feel the veins popping up in my neck…

At first the two closest looked like they were each sitting “on” a cushion.

Then I realized their “cushions” were actually their legs and posteriors.

“Tubular dude!”

Couple of guys are relaxing so much that that are starting to melt.

“Tuba-b or not Tuba-b, that is the question.

Tu-ba or not tu-ba? That is the question.

that’ll never catch on… :p

I prefer drum circles to drive people crazy. But, either one will do.

Clears your mind… and lungs.

The budget value crowd prefer kazoo circles trained as children using the comb and wax paper.

And no more ear wax to boot!

First they have to work out their aggressions by dueling.

Every time I hear that “oomph,” my stress levels go “pah!”

Tuba circles better known as blow-hards! LOL

Bleeb? Are you quite sure that’s far enough away??????? :)

Working on sustained low notes is an excellent method to develop your lungs and breath control. Played well it can also be quite soothing. Or you can just oom pah pah your way into a polka frenzy.

Tuba or not Tuba, that is the question…

PLBBLT…

And unlike yoga, no one can hear you fart.

If it works, go for it I guess…..

I predict a gathering of mooses soon.

I could fix that real quick with a garden hose!
