lurksalot Posted December 30, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted January 1, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 !

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted January 1, 2021 Share 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..? ...)

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
