So I should hit people with a blunt stick instead?

let's all just keep our points to ourselves- no matter if you stick to it.

What about binding oaths? Are they what happens when you prod someone with a pointy stick?

I thought oaths were broken because of pointy sticks..

One thing I kept waiting for in TBOE - outlawing of the 'blunt instrument' as murder weapon...

"He was stabbed with a piccolo, rather than killed with a blunt instrument like a Bongo"

He was killed by a piercing penny-whistle mayhap?

I thought it was a didjeridu...

Is that a woodwind, though?

Poor instruments, I always feel sorry for instruments being trashed on stage. What real musician treats instruments so badly! Obviously they care about image more than treating instruments carefully.

they care for nothing!

They are carriers of the moronic plague which is fast spreading through the populace, especially the younger ones who have not had the priviledge of good education, @#$%& wine, and a sex life in which AIDS did not exist and herpes were cold sores and chlamydia was a disease in koalas.

What was it in Julius Caeser? They are provincials and they are ignorant. <I beseech Shakespeare, or whoever's glove puppet he was, to forgive me for not knowing the exact quote but it was my daughter's birthday yesterday over here (but Wednesday over there) and I am suffering from an overload of chicken schitzel, good wine, and a very rich chocolate mint cheesecake. My blood pressure has gone bananas and is playing random numbers on the old BP machines.>

These people who smash their instruments are like those incompetent workmen who blame their tools. John Williams is a passionate musician (from what I have heard over the past 40 odd years) but I've never heard the slightest suggestion that he would condone the notion of busting up a guitar because he was an inadequate musician.

Perhaps those people who bust up thier instruments should be forced to take music lessons beginning with Hildegaard of Bingham and then learning their way through to, say, Elgar. If they have any energy left after this I doubt if it would be expended on the abuse of musical instruments.

Strong words!

So, all in all, you are against smashing up instruments, Bunyip?

That is correct!

The only time I have seen it done and found it acceptable was when in a Marx Bros movie the piano was deeconstructed and Harpo arose from the shambles with a harp which he played so well. Other than that it gives me no pleasure.

I rather think the point is being missed here... It's the SOUND...

I thought that was always the point, that the point is missed, either on purpose or not?

Blood! Death! War! Rumpy pumpy! Triumph!

Which point is this then?

Sorry it missed me.

<Stares at arrow quivering in door next to head>

Arrow - quiver. Oh Never, mind.

How do you fit an arrow into a small quiver like that?

I think it must have a point somewhere
