LOL! Dill’s brothers did it again!

Wow, dill. Your brothers will not be so successful… unless they use their trebuchet to get a job.

I remember that episode of Northern Exposure.

Piano-hurling by trebuchet! I’m impressed. Alice’s understanding of piano-playing, however, leaves something to be desired. —Like music.

I called it yesterday…

It sounds like the best thing that could possibly happen to a piano. No more piano lessons.

lol. Love Cul De Sac!

Launch!

Yesterday someone mentioned something to the effect that it would be difficult to lose a piano. Well, according to the following account, the Collyer brothers had fourteen pianos buried in their house. (Don’t read this while you’re eating a meal!) http://www.canadaandtheworld.com/collyerbrothershoarders.html

Cartoons like Looney Toons and Tom and Jerry introduced entire generations to classical music. How many kids can hum a classical piece based off Bugs Bunny.

that proves it. the cul de sac is just over the hill from ballard streat..,.

That is one of the best parallel conversations.Ever!

Raymond Scott, aka Harry Warnow, was a prolific composer best known to people because he was one of Carl Stalling’s favorite composers to borrow from.

Thanks! That was great! :)

Thanks for looking these artists up for us. :)

Here’s my favorite version of “Powerhouse”, by the immortal, incorrigible Spike Jones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHgQALH9-7M

(Ignore the Tacoma Narrows Bridge film. Not sure why that’s even there.)

“Can you imagine the sound when the Piano lands?”If it goes down a shaft, you get “A flat miner.”
