LOL Crazy heart - I see you're getting back to feeling more like yourself!!   I do miss the wonderchoir - I'm sitting here with nothing to listen to!!  How can I be a good audience in that situation???

bump

No WonderChoir this year??  But what am I going to do with all these M&M's??

Pass them to me, I will take care of them.

I am more worried about what to do with the Maestro's special "medicine".  The longer I keep it the more strange sounds and smells it gives off....

I'm definitely not swinging without a halo . . . why, that would be like . . . hmmmm . . . like going out with lipstick on .

But I will be there for the wonder choir when it is ready to practise - can't sing - sore throat - but will be there to cheer the rest on!
 

Do you think the medicine could be shared at a WonderParty if the Maestro doesn't show up?

You could have sent the M&M' s to Secret Santa but save the red ones for me, Red.

i heard rumours of a poutine plant rupture in Montreal that almost drowned a meat packing plant, shutting it down and causing a brief spike in corned beef prices...:3

If anyone's looking for the altos, we've gone to the pub on the corner.

I think the choir heard me singing in the kitchen and changed the location of their practices - forgetting to tell me. 

That's okay, seeler. They heard me singing in the shower and called by-law enforcement to lodge a noise complaint.

Mendalla

I wanna play a percusion instrument   Bells, are there bells?

how are you at squeaking?  we could lie you down and have cute kittens jump on your tum? :3

lol crazyheart

Just over at the pub with somegal and the other altos. Of course anyone - regardless of what you sing or even if you sing - is welcome to join us.

It would not be Christmas without the wonder choir ...  I do hope people come to the pub, er I mean come out to the choir.

The practice hall is empty but I see there are even chairs outside of the pub. Myst, is that where the Sani is served before you get to go in.?

Sure, blame the altos. We are never ones to cause trouble here in the pub. All we are doing is drinking beer and singing songs. Beer makes the alto voice more resonant. Can we help it if the other patrons don't appreciate our enthusiastic singing??? I mean really.

Gord, knowing you as I do, I do not for one second believe you are letting that medicine sit there......and now I know why you needed those boxes moved from the church basement. Alas. Of course, knowing you have the special "medicine" explains a lot mister.

So that is where they moved the practice - across the street to the pub.  It's a good thing I recognized some of the chior members going in or I never would have found it.  Now someone, get me a drink - and tell me what I sing.  Am I an alto, a seprano, tenor?  Is there anything elsee?   Or wouldd you like me to sing solo (so low you can't hear me)?

I will miss the choir, and being called pinkhead by the Maestro.  Alas, I am no longer able to run around to take care of costumes, Maestro s errands, and missing music... but those were the early years... however, truly I am an alto and wouldn't mind hanging out in the pub... ;)

come on in, redhead . . . someone else will surely look after all those things . . .

By the time the concert date arrives, all the music is on the floor with Penny's salt licks and everyone else is on the floor of the pub with a funnell. Come on over.

Where is the Maestro anyhow? Somegal peeks under the table... Nope, no maestro under there.

I wonder if Mad Monk is paying attention to this thread?

ha, crazyheart, sani users or not - all are welcome.

seeler, it truly doesn't matter what you sing. You - and anyone else not sure what part to sing -- just join in and pick some notes to sing, in any order. At a certain point, no one is actually going to notice (well, except the other pub patrons as Northwind points out).

redhead,  good to have you singing with the altos and for old times sake - duck, I just tossed a lime wedge your way.

redhead reaches over, grabs a lime wedge from beloved's drink and lobs it right back at myst :)

and then looks to see if crazyheart has lime with her drink, in anticipation future attacks :)

Well, now this is fun!!!

This is fun!!!

ANd that citrus hass the right idea; it is dangerous to play contact sports without the proper headgear

redhead places a metal bowl on her head I seriously do not need anympre neuro damage, man lol)

BTW, I am celebrating today because I completed my term research paper and submitted it this morning :)

so, first round on me with one caveat, everyone must order a drink with at least one lime wedge - note: I always ask for two ...heeheehee...

Congrats Redhead! Wondertinis for everyone - the first rounds' on my:

this will be fantabulous fun :)

adjusts bowl on head, a little bit worried about bowlhead (like the haircut I had when I was kid)

and lobs a wedge at somegalfromcan :)

FOOD FIGHT!!!

Somegal catches the wedge Redhead threw and tosses it back - adding a second wedge to the throw.

What no one noticed is that I took a bowl of lime wedges from the bar... dumped the wedges in the pretzel basket, and placed said bowl on my head... I am prepared

GAME ON!

Happily starts lobbing wedges at all the altos :)

Then waits in anticipation... and snacks on lime drenched pretzels :)

I go away for a few minutes and when I return look what's happening.

Woot.

I'll have a soda water with 2 lime wedges, oh heck make it 3!

And congrats on the paper being submitted redhead.

La, la, la, la, la ... just in case anyone else coming in thinks we've forgotten about the singing ...

La la la laaa...

Deck the bar with li-me wedges

Fa la la la la... :)

Tis the season to throw wedges

Fa la la la la...

la la la, la la la

Don we now our lime wedge head gear

Fa la la, la la la.....

As we throw another wedge dear...

Fa la la la la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The altos are in fine form!  Excellent :)

More limes lobbed, look out everyone, they are coming your way

Looking forward to another carol...

lol - too funny.

Sing along:

Oh the weather outside is frightful

But the pub is so delightful

If you’ve got a wedge to throw

Let it go, let it go, let it go.

When we finally say good night,

There'll be wedges all over the floor,

But no worries it will be alright,

'Cause tomorrow there will be some  more :)

Duck!!! I wonder if Punkins ever got the patent on the gadget that she was using to catch the limes wedges......ooops duck.

For God sake that was someone's thong being used as a slingshot. Ummmmmm yellow!! Grants.

WHERE ARE THESE FOLK????

***Pinga ducks in underneath the flying lime wedges to have a beer with the alto.

(Nodding at Northwind who Pinga has sang with in inchoirs in real life!)

wondering who else is a 2nd alto and when the dang choir master is going to show up.

*************

Good Choirmaster, she looked out
On the World of Wonder
Where the limes lay round about
Tossed by wild ass singers
Loudly sang the choir that night
Though the tune was cruel
When a poor drummer came in sight
Gath'ring winter fuel

This thread is giving me a good laugh today. Thanks all.

Pinga and redhead - great lyrics. I've actually been singing those songs aloud (at home alone) with the new improved lyrics. So funny.

crazyheart - I was thinking of Punkins too.

Duck,duck a wedge

Chuck,chuck a wedge

Here comes a lime

There goes a lime

All the wedges flinging

Altos all are singing

Bring on more limes

For merry times

As you can see, I have extensive carolling experience

But probably more lime tossing experience lol :)

sorry double post

myst

I had no idea you sing the lime carol library - well done!

Hey, Hey, Hey, I just had a call from the Arrogant Worms. They are around and want to know where to meet the choir, The had so much fun especially with Pen's cows.

THE roofer also wants to sing, Can Pilgrims Progress foot the bill for his flight from Oz?

  or put him in her overnight?

He sings tenor.

PP only sings about Boomers.

Seeler, you are likely a soprano or an alto.  Tenors are generally men as are basses.  The voices tend to be split by gender due to the "timber" of the voice, though I have sung with the men, (northwind may have too)
