I'm thinking of starting a band called "Printer Friendly Format"

[Starry Messenger]

Anybody in? I am totally unmusical so I'm recruiting talent.

[rucky]

1. I can play a mean dot matrix.

[Starry Messenger]

2. You can be percussion.

You're in.

[EastTennesseeDem]

3. I'm a badass didgeridooist and can play a little triangle

Not to mention I've done some doo-wa singing in the past.

[Starry Messenger]

4. Will you be able to do all three at once?

:D I was looking for someone fitting your exact description.

[EastTennesseeDem]

5. Well of course not

Everybody knows that it's next to impossible to play the triangle while singing doo-wa.

We can mix up some takes in studio, but I can't do it live. It'll have to be a studio masterpiece like Sgt. Pepper, Dark Side of the Moon, or Weird Al Yankovic in 3-D.

[Starry Messenger]

6. Well played.

I had my heart set on costumes though. If we're just in the studio, no one will see them.

[EastTennesseeDem]

7. Okay, you've convinced me.

But I want to be the guy second from the right. He's got some moves.

We're going to have to cheat on stage though.

[Starry Messenger]

8. I do a mean air triangle.

I've been practicing for years. Maybe the moment has come to show the world.

[EastTennesseeDem]

9. Your call man.

So far it's a three-piece:

Rucky on dot matrix
EastTennesseeDem on didgeridoo and doo-wa
Starry Messenger on air triangle

I'm liking this, but it needs to grow.

[LooseWilly]

11. I think it's gonna need more cowbell.

I think I know a cow I can tip for its bell too.

Punk Cow Bell !!

[Starry Messenger]

27. Surfin' Cow!

Find my baby
Gonna find her now
She looks like Patti Smith
SURFIN' COW!!!

Surf's up dude!

Find my baby
Gonna find her now
Gonna drag her home
SURFIN' COW!!!

Surf's up dud

[LooseWilly]

28. Brilliant!!!!!!

I'll look into a Lux Interior (RIP) style jumpsuit... some heels suitable for surf cow tipping... I think we're onto something...

[DS1]

10. How about "Printer Friendly Format and the Ignoreds"

[Starry Messenger]

12. I have 300 back up singers available for that.

I can tweak the name. We're going to need a hell of a big tour bus though.

[DS1]

13. Homeland Security is going to have a field day with your itinerary

:D

[Starry Messenger]

16. A little exercise for those lads will do them good.

This is for art. :D

[Heidi]

14. Do you think Printer Friendly Format has any hope of success without

an alphorn player? ;)

[EastTennesseeDem]

15. You've got my vote

[Heidi]

17. Along with the didgeridoo, the alphorn is an extremely unappreciated

instrument. ;)

[EastTennesseeDem]

19. Sometime in the next year or so, there's going to be a band with the set-up of

a vocalist, an alphornist, a didgeridooist, a trianglist, a dot matricist, and a cowbellist that will make a killing. And we're going to be kicking ourselves for talking about this in jest.

[Heidi]

20. You're right. Perhaps we geniuses need to take our srategy to PMs.

Because if ever there were an idea waiting to be stolen, Printer Friendly Format is exactly that idea. :rofl:

[EastTennesseeDem]

22. Yeah, we'd better act.

Start slow though, with covers and such.

Imagine this translated to Printer Friendly Format:

Platinum

[Heidi]

24. Or this.

(In the interest of strategy, I'll now try to rein in my genius. :rofl: )

[Starry Messenger]

26. That will be our first hit.

Bank it.

[LooseWilly]

29. Dude, I've got the bongos for that solo!!

We're on this like a tipped cow in a... errr...

[LooseWilly]

23. Start the PMing without me.

I'll catch up once I've... talked to a cow about a bell... if you know what I mean.

[Starry Messenger]

18. It's like you know me.

You're in. We're going to need bigger lederhosen to fit over the costumes though.

[Heidi]

21. And while we're at it, why not leverage our synergies to enable even greater success

by adding yodeling?

[Starry Messenger]

25. Absolutely.

My backup singers specialize in yodelling. They yodel all the day. :D I'm seeing a great future here.

[WinkyDink]

30. First CD: "Shrink to Fit."

[Starry Messenger]

31. .

Anybody with a hangover wish to join on this morning? Perhaps our opening band could be named "The Walk of Shame and Sunday Mornings"...
