My other flute
...was designed in the 16th century.
...sounds the same.
...is still recovering from St. Paddy's day.

Fipple? We don't need no stinking fipple.

There is no other flute. There is only this flute, here and now.

No. It's the sixth of "The Eight Keys" of Swami Shuckandjivananda, eight stages of being while on the path to Absolute Flutefulness. The First Key is, "Hearing the Distant Flute"; #2: "Enchanted in the Flutemakers' Quarter"; #3: "Grasping the Flute, Learning to Blow"; #4: "At the Teacher's Doorway"; #5: "In the Market, Selling and Buying". The Seventh Key is "Flute and Player Forgotten", and the eighth says nothing at all. Although it sounds as if it might be from the Fifth Key, your quote, Jim, is actually from the Second Key.

The damned Mahayana Buddhists stole the concept when they came up with the Ten Bulls, only they didn't have the brains to be concise and keep it down to eight. Size queens.

(rough draft - feel free to edit)

This is my flute. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my flute is useless. Without my flute, I am useless. I must blow my flute true. I must sound louder than the accordian who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My flute and I know that what counts in music is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the 'nyah' that counts. We will have 'nyah'.

My flute is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its 8 keys if it has them, its embouchure and its bore. I will keep my flute oiled and humidified, as I am oiled and humidified. We will become part of each other.

Before God I swear this creed. My flute and I are the defenders of my itm. We are the masters of our music. We are the saviors of my life.

So be it, until victory is ours and there are no accordians left to kill or tunes to learn.

semper fi! hooorah!

That is freaking BRILLIANT.

Dadaist: My other flute is a bowl of grapes.
Fauvist: My other flute is circular.
Nihilist: There is no other flute. There is no flute.
Onanist: My other flute plays with itself.
Communist: My other flute? Who cares, I just want toilet paper.
Borg: My other flute was once your flute.
Platonic: My other flute is just a shadow of my first flute, which really isn't a flute but a tuba. Your perceptions merely lead you to think it's a flute.

If you think blowing a mean flute is something they do in a brothel, you might be a redneck.
