“Hornucopias”.

TU BAd his audience will melt away…

Just turn on the shower! Now we’ll see just how fancy you really are, Reg.

True story: During the Cultural Revolution, Mao Zedong’s wife Jiang Qing heard a trumpet playing and asked an underling, “What’s the name of that horrid instrument?” The underling, thinking quickly, answered “A tuba.” Jiang Qing banned the tuba and wrecked the lives of tuba players. But the trumpet players were saved, and China had a lot more of them!

Hey, that’s ONE way to build up your readership, Gallagher!

Kitty Korner continues to scrape the bottom of the litter box.

You means even his robots cannot bear his music, eh?

What no tuba helmets for the snow men?

All that not air will melt the audience

(Ignores the punchline to be angry that it’s not snowing where i am but over there it’s snowing)

I remember a Peanuts comic strip where Linus made a huge crowd of tiny snowmen, then he built himself a snow podium and was standing behind it before the snowman crowd while saying “I suppose you’re wondering why I called you all here today”.

Just try finding a job as a tuba player.

Not everyone can be the first violinist. Someone has to blow wind through the tuba.

If my name was Reginald Von Cat I might be Full of Myself also.

So only his neck and front feet get cold?

tuba music is awesome
