This may be the one of the worst whistles on the face of planet earth (hence not including the pseudo instrument played by Cpt. Jean Luc Picard). It dares to include itself in the category fipple flutes called “Penny Whistles”. So hear to the challenge:
Create something of “value” from all pieces of this “musical instrument”.
I’d like to hear some ideas on what winning categories to include.
My ideas so far include:
playable instrument
Art
Multiple item (including an actual musical instrument)
Multiple item (non-instrumental)
tool
Most satisfyingly destroyed to prevent it from contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
And here is the subject-
Have fun, be creative. If anybody wants to help make this challenge interesting, PM me. Post on category ideas, and entries. Challenge ending TBA based on interest and PMed suggestions. For now lets just say 30days after I make an announcement.
Your right MTGuru. I’m looking for one now though. I figure I can save the book for my daughter and get her a real instrument. Anything I make I won’t consider for winning but I’ll post for hilarity.
I did run into it once before, at a thrift shop. I played two “notes” and ignored it before. However, I ran into it again in Dale’s article and said hmm… That could be an interesting project. Like turning a beater car into a racing car, or at least field art.
I would say it’s more of a recycling project. Taking a useless subject (our “whistle”) and creating something of more value. Like the kid who turned plastic bags into homeless shelters, or sculptures made of the rubbish of a torn down building.
The project Ideas I’m leaning towards are:
A back scratch (the inspiration for the post)
A sprinkler
The second idea would leave me with an excess of books, but I can donate them.
The source I found for these Cost $5.00 per set.
Guru, seriously sit back and have fun destroying a useless (and perhaps detrimental) toy, come back and show us what you made from it (or them).
It’s too late. My gedankenwhistle is already winging its way on a round trip to Proxima Centauri at ~87% the speed of light, and won’t be back here for around 9 1/2 years. Fortunately, thanks to Lorentz contraction, your whistle now seems twice as long as mine, and plays with perfect intonation in D.
(Yes, I know that both whistles would shrink relative to each other. But that would ruin the joke.)
Ok, I guess you don’t see the picture then. It one the cases of a whistle that penitrated through the cheek bone, through the frontal lobe and out the top of the skull.
I’ve verified the imgage appears in my post on two seperate computers. You’ll need to update your browser’s image codex or settings to see the picture. You may have the software, but it isn’t associated properly or your software for reading the image file extention may be out of date.
Dude. I have a brand-spankin’ new HP, updated stuff, all that. Other than that, you may be right; I don’t fiddle around much with how the thing works. It’s like me and cars: I just turn the key, put it in gear, and drive.
So you’re talking about this?
It’s at the bottom of this page on this very website.
But a cool idea in any case. This last Halloween there was a fellow who looked like he had a piece of rebar driven through his head in much the same way. Got my thumbs-up.

That’s the one. Ok the codex software is good. Hmm…I need to find a setting that allowed you to see the original, but not the image link I posted. Ah, oh well you know what I wanted to suggest for the gag.
. I don’t know where she got it, but I had to act really happy and that was hard!!
Come-on. You know you want to have some fun with this.
