lurksalot Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 A little bit early maybe , but it is just possible there are a few of you sitting around full of minces pies, chocolate and cake just needing an excuse to get creative. Have a look at this picture from last months winner @Doctor J and let's hear what sort of toonage it inspires e Usual rules apply. You know the drill: ✔️ Entries must be <5 minutes and written/recorded this month. ❌ No illegal samples, copyright infringements or other snide goings-on ❌ Bagpipes. ( Christmas truce now expired) . Also on thin ice with panpipes, to be perfectly honest. ❌ No voting for your own entry. We'll know. And we'll shame you. Deadline for entries is midnight on Burns Night *, Monday 25th January Enjoy * this does not constitute or indicate bagpipe tolerance , it is a mere coincidence. 5 Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Not quite sure if that's real or not! So I've made a start on something that's possibly very silly, and just a little bit puerile... I note the rules don't disallow a bit of gentle smut 😎😁🤪 Quote
lurksalot Posted January 1, 2021 Author Posted January 1, 2021 I wasn’t sure myself TBH , but it does look a bit like the the enclosure at the zoo , but maybe loads of other zoos have the same 😂 Quote
Dad3353 Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Unfortunately, this, from 'Guff'... "This photo that circulated of a particularly happy elephant is actually a mechanical elephant from Disneyland's Jungle Cruise ride...." Quote
upside downer Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Not real? Rats. My faith in 2021 being a better year has imploded already. Quote

Yep , I feel a blues vibe now , it was going to be an up beat rocky type toon , but I guess I’ll just reduce the BPM till it sounds appropriate ! Quote

I feel daft. I asked my wife if it was an African or Indian elephant. 'Mechanical' wasn't the answer I expected. I don't even know where Mechanica is. 3 Quote

Baloney Balderdash Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) I won't promise I'll get to do it, but sounds interesting, so count me in. So the piece is required to have bagpipes and panflutes? Or was that a joke? Edit!! : Well, after reading the replies it seem like the whole thread was just a joke...

This 'Challenge' has been running, every month, for many years now, and is far from being a joke. We do, however, have a certain complicity between some long-standing (and long-suffering...) members who regularly participate. I would heartily recommend that you have a go yourself, and shortly you'll be just as we are, ribbed, subject to banter, leg firmly pulled and have your efforts warmly welcomed and appreciated. It's all good fun; jump right in, the water's lovely. (No, no bagpipes. Seriously. No bagpipes. OK..? None. Nada. Zero. OK..? ...) Edited January 1, 2021 by Dad3353 2 Quote
SH73 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Is the photo any good for a metal inspiration? Quote

If by 'metal' you mean 'bagpipes', the answer is 'No..!; otherwise : 'Knock yourself out', 'Fill your boots', 'Go for it', 'Try your luck', 'Garn, I dare yer'... (or, the short version : 'Yes, if that's what it inspires in you.'). Edited January 3, 2021 by Dad3353 1 Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Can I use the Uillean pipes I got for Christmas? They sound great through a Future Impact pedal! Quote

You're not going to like this months special offering then! 😝 And so far I've laid off both the Uillean and Northumbrian pipes, but with all the insults I've been getting I may have to break them out, as well as getting my Galician neighbour Jose in to do a Gaita solo. And he can whistle and yodel!!! Quote
