WTB: Flute-playing pony

As subject line, but preferably Shetland. So WHY?

:party:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Gift for a friend?

Not exactly… more thinking live music for my mum’s Jazz

‘You can rearrange the seats in 180 different ways — giving you enough room for whatever comes your way. A bicycle, an ATV or a Shetland pony — they all fit. We’ve checked.’

Or perhaps just something for Loren to read!

:slight_smile:

Figured you were doing early Christmas shopping for me.

And while we’re on the subject, it now seems I’ll be needing a Border Collie as well, if anyone else has me in mind. :wink:

Thought you weren’t allowed… much as I’d have liked!

It’s true, my landlord specifically said no flutes or ponies.

You guys might be pleased to know that the targeted ads on Chiff and Fipple now think I am interested in ponies

Man, we should be monetizing all this ad traffic we’re driving, why should the C&F empire be getting rich off of our genius??

Because we’re geniuser.

Dang it, outsmarted again.

(From off in the distance: Meep! Meep!)

Will consider a small, flute-playing unicorn if suitable pony unavailable… must be well-behaved with that horn in the car (!) and packed with plenty of bubble wrap, hay and water if posted.

I’ve always seen unicorns more as horn players than flute players …

Unicorns? I’ve never seen the point.

Plenty of good jazzmen can do both!

Obviously not looked hard enough!

Anyway, you’re both missing the point (disclaimer: I typed that before I noticed!); if I can’t get a pony, a unicorn might do…

Might do what?

Get caught on film. This shot is claimed to have been taken in the wild:

But it’s a hoax. This unicorn is obviously domesticated: unicorns aren’t exactly born with bridles on, you know. Plus it’s too well-groomed to be wild, and that ain’t no forest growth beneath its magical little hooves. I am personally disappointed, and offended on the unicorn’s behalf, that the domesticated variety should be so duplicitously misrepresented. What, are they not “good enough”? Is that it?

Not only that, but that pony is clearly in need of medical attention - someone’s shot an arrow into its forrid!

Do I have to explain everything twice for you, s1m0n?

Might be an acceptable substitute (i.e. make do) for a flute-playing pony if I can’t get one… might even be more than acceptable with the unicorn being Scotland’s national animal, except that I’d rather set my heart on a Shetland, don’t know if you get Shetland unicorns, and still have concerns about the horn…

Here’s an idea, Peter: Get yourself a Shetland and tell everyone it’s a proper Scottish unicorn, and that you removed its horn to save it from the poachers. :wink:
