Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 26, 2024

Reminds me of Northern Exposure tv show

I’m guessing the piano chord on impact will be B-Flat.

They’re looking for treble-you-say?

They’re all rejoicing with one a-chord.

Usually an Upright Piano is used: this is extra special – it’s a grand event. The key to getting good distance is fine-tuning how the piano is attached to the trebuchet.

The only thing that’s gonna break is the piano leg.

“When the cat’s away, the mice will play.”

Just saw online a video of one of the worst attractions of all time. They used a trebuchet to sling people to a safety net. As you can imagine, that didn’t end to well. One person died from missing the net and most had injuries.

Me is never knews there be piano in ancient times.

On a Sour Note, the King is sure to return eventually!

I’d bet a shiny nickel it snaps the leg off and the piano just falls over… In perfect comic timing… Of course.

It goes nowhere. That leg will rip right off.

I’m sure that wherever it lands it will be a grand spectacle.

In search of the lost choooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrdddddddddddddd.

Don’t shoot the player piano!

It’ll go pretty far, I’m sure of it.

I bet the piano will breakup before 300 yards !

About 30 years sgo I would’ve liked to have had that for my kid’s violin.

When the cat is away the mice will play!

And this is how Id treats its grand piano; if you can’t play it, toss it?

The Fink has decreed that you enjoy his music?

He’s the piano man.

the rope on the piano is longer than the distance the weight can travel. Ain’t going nowhere.

Should have flung a cow, would have been a great Monty Python reference.

…about 300 yards away?

PUNKIN CHUNKIN’

That’s criminal.

Hey, new Olympic event!

Hope it does better than the Barley Pickers did flinging a mini with theirs on Scrapheap Challenge – youtube fE5ZE4Pj5w

Might as well have some fun while the King’s away!

King can’t reach the pedals anyway.

Tres bouch.

Piano smashin’! Radical!

When he returns, the king would either hang all of them or make them pony up to buy a new piano.

A grand exhibition.

A trebuchet! Fairly accurate rendering too.

Red Square, here we are!!

It’s just a fling. Things will return to whatever is considered normal in the land of Idiots.
