Erm, I seem to be in a bit of a piccolo here. Could you get me out of this thing? Also, try not to press any notes, because they’re all a bit sharp, if you take my meaning.

The hovertext! 😀
I love snakes.
Ditto to both. That Mike draws from so many resources in that brain! You’d better leave it science, NTM!
Tried to edit and I clicked just short of the edit time!
Anyway, what I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted was that the person holding that snake-in-armor seems pretty easy with the situation – and I was musing what the opposite of nonplussed was and, naturally, it would be plussed!
Speaking of plussed:

Love it !!!!!!
That’s great! Gotta share with my word-nerd friends.
Me too! Thanks, Ilonka. BTW, are you Hungarian? My mom’s name is Ilonka, too.
“Bridled passion”? I think NTMTOM has used that phrase a few times.
Fabulous!?
That writer has skills!? Weird how so many words have survived in only their negative sense. You never hear of someone being “couth” or full of “ruth”. (And spell check just told me “couth” is not even a word!)
Yeah! You never hear of Post Bellum. Or if someone is tached or gruntled.
Great. Gave me pause a few times.
Snake charming gone wrong.
“Stuck in a canon”!!! I love it!!!
Snake: “I thought this steampunk costume would make me look cool. I didn’t really think it through.”
LOL 😀 😀 😀
He does look like a Steampunk!!!
I was thinking either Steampunk or an Iron Man cosplay gone terribly terribly wrong!
“…or are you just happy to see me?”
😀 😀 😀
?
What a cool way to clean your flute! Way back when I was in band all I had to clean my flute was this kind of ramrod thing and a cloth!?
A cobra in a clarinet, a python in a piano, a viper in a violin, and they all play for scale.
😀
Whoa! Alright! Lots of good rides today.
Ooooo likeie.
My first thought was, “I’m glad I’m not a flutist,” but then I imagined how big a snake could come out of the top of a bassoon . . . and now I don’t feel so good.
Bet you could squeeze a pythoon in a bassoon, and scare a bagpiper with a viper…
Noo!
I want to know how did the snake get in there, and better yet, how will it get out??
Same way it came in, I’d reckon. That snake looks a bit thick in the middle to get all the way through.
Speaking of thick in the middle snakes– did I share a few weeks back my pregnant garter snake encounter? I am pretty sure I did.
Remind us! ?
Did not know canon was a musical term. I learned something new today.
Also, love the Toy Story reference. ^_^
Heya Jendeyan, this is the most ‘famous/pop culture’ canon; you will probably recognize it. 🙂
I’ll see you in hell, Pachelbel!
Bravo!!!!Thank you for this Allein and (I am linking this to my Dad who will not get all the pop music references but will get the gist.) It’s funny as I was that ‘geek’ who asked for a recording of it for my 13th birthday, initially pleasing my Dad but after listening to it non-stop– well, as in all music played repetitively it’s f’n annoying as hell. To this day, when I hear it I smile wistfully and then turn the damn station. Thanks again for this! 😀 😀
Glad you like it!
The first time I heard this, I laughed when he got to the part about Blues Traveler. My college’s a capella group did a mashup of Hook and Canon in D. As soon as he said HORDE Fest I knew exactly where he was going with it.
That. Was. HYSTERICAL!!! I laughed too hard.?
Now I’m really awake and I’m supposed to get up early tomorrow…I’ll be snort-laffing in my sleep, Allein.
Sorry! 😛
If it’s any consolation, it’s midnight and I have to be reasonably presentable by 8 am just in case the water meter people actually show up at the early end of the window (they’re supposed to be here between 8 and 12). And I still have to clear out the closet so they can get to the meter.
Guy showed up promptly at 8! I was just about to dry my hair. If he had rung the bell 30 seconds later I wouldn’t have heard him.
Glad I took the time to watch that.Unfortunately no snake to watch it with me.
I love Pachelbel’s Canon! Though most people just recognize it as “wedding music” these days.
I do too 6Rabbits– BUT– it is over played in my small opinion. *especially as I played it do vinyl skipping scratched death one late summer as a teenager*
Peeps, what is that Handel piece that everyone plays at weddings while they sign the wedding book… ugh, that one, you know?
I agree it’s overused, almost to the point of being cliché.? Some people need to expand their classical horizons!
If that person presses too many keys, that snake will be flat!
My thought, bezackly!
Is that a snake in your flute or are you herpy to see me?
That cracked me up.
Me, too. Brilliant.
Okay, you win.
I recognize that music: Requiem For A Reptile.
I’m going to get my snake out and practice some scales!!????
Better than arpeggios, I am thinkin’!
A tragic case of snake charming gone wrong.
Yes!
Full Metal Jacket II.
Whatever you do, don’t inhale!
Way worse than an ear worm.
The Magic Flute. Ah, not what I was expecting.
He’s in the wrong instrument, but it’s probably not easy to find a serpent these days:

That’s a picture his Grandfather.
Somebody embed that.
Here ya’ go.
Yay! Thank you Allein!
