I'm a card-carrying member of the NWA

Which also reminds me:
I believe it was Chuck who posted an idea for a full-body whistle harness a while back, with a C up one sleeve, a D up the other, an A and a low G in shoulder holsters, a low C and/or D strapped on your back, and perhaps twin boot sheathes for a high F and G. The Whistling Assasin, I believe he called the concept.

Which leads to the disturbing question: What if this gets out of hand and someone in Montana or Idaho starts a whistle militia??

You're right, Lee, Deadwood would be a perfect place for it! However, they might shoot us in Sturgis!

Ya know... It's possible there was a second whistler on a grassy knoll across from the building.

And how about the first issue on our agenda: The government should modify all those airport metal detectors so that whistles don't set them off.

It's a worthy goal, but I think "they" will develop technology that will detect PVC, Bakelite, and other popular whistle materials. Eventually we might not be able to carry ANY wooden items onto planes because they could possibly be used to fashion whistles.

This will never work in Canada,,,we have too many whistle control laws.
One needs a permit to carry a hand whistle..and bringing whistles across the border....we would never get away with it!

Still laughing over the whistlel rack in back of the pick up!

This reminds me: I actually had some of these ideas for whistle bumper stickers a while back, but never posted my ideas because I thought people might think I was wierd. Go figure.

You didn't post 'cause you were afraid of sounding wierd?!?! What were you thinking?

I know what you're thinking. Did he play 3 octaves or only 2? What you gotta ask yourself is 'Do I feel lucky?'. Well, do ya, punk.

My gosh this a genius idea. Why didn't I think of it years ago? It's another perfect opportunity to make fun of gun nuts. I'm going to officially announce the formation of NWA in the next newsletter. You guys all get credit! YES! Bloomfield! What's your full name? I'm naming you CEO or something!

Hey, will that make me a Vice president or something? How about just President of Vices?

Hey Guys,

This is the kind of insanity that makes me love this board!

This thread ought to be prominently preserved somewhere, like as a pre-amble to the NWA charter. I nominate Charleton "Chuck" Wisely as our first president. He could address our first convention shirtless, carrying a low D Overton, or maybe a Clarke 45 or a Burketta. What ya' say Chuck?

I'm there, Dude. Once they start takin' away our whistles, next it'll be squeezeboxes and bodhrans. Hmm. Maybe they could START with bodhrans.

Dale,
thanks for your enthusiastic endorsement of our idea. My full name is Elliot Thaddeus Bloomfield. But my real name is Manfred Gabriel. (I'll explain another time, perhaps.) And I want Thygress as my personal assistant.

Don't forget to mention to the NWA Dale(TM) action figurines and the full session fatigues with the NWA logo.

Speaking of the logo, could you get your buddies at ILM to help us with the design?

I just want everyone to know; I sleep with my whistles next to my bed. And I ALWAYS know where my fipples are! (Except when Dan performs plastic surgery on them and causes an extreme identity crisis)
