It is, isn't it ;D That's a cool photo, too! Definitely something to
talk about when someone plays a didgeridoo in a grocery store. I assume
the guy had a vehicle large enough to accommodate such an instrument as
shown in Koko's photo. Although, why was he walking around in a grocery
store with a didgeridoo in the first place???? Just something to wonder
about <VBG>. Still neat.

Probably trying to make some sales. <g>
The economy is down you know!

I'm thinking of dragging out what is left of my inventory and making
Sterling Silver Rosaries for eBay again.

I have a good rating there under "Katra".

Some years ago I saw a comedy routine poking fun at a CD named "The Sound
From Down Under." Here are the parts I recall, though they're probably
distorted because of the time which has passed:

=============================================

The name makes it sound like a record of farts! The Sound From Down Under?
Why does "Down Under" ALWAYS have to mean Australia? Suppose you were
talking to one of your female friends who said, "We were kissing, and things
were starting to heat up, until I heard The Sound From Down Under. It
totally broke the mood." THAT AIN'T NO CD SHE'S TALKIN' ABOUT!

Suppose you just heard somebody say, "I was in an elevator with a little old
lady, and all of a sudden there was The Smell From Down Under." What would
YOU think was being discussed?

Suppose you saw a book entitled, "Mirrors on the Floor: The View From Down
Under." Would you think it was a book about Australia?

If somebody said, "I've got some secretions from down under," what would you
think he was talking about? Australian honey?

A didgeridoo being played sounds like a grossly prolonged fart from a very
loose asshole, so maybe the record company intended the name to be a joke
all along. (Like the word "didgeridoo" isn't a euphemism for **** anyway.
"Oy, Sheila, I've just extruded a rank didgeridoo! Come and have a look!")

=============================================

koko,

While it's a beautiful piece, I don't know that I'd carry it around
everywhere. Maybe that's how he sells them. I've never seen one played.

I'm the elders go to guy for top shelf (out of reach) products. Hardly very
interesting I know.

Best,

Andy

Wow. That's a really beautiful one, too. I love seeing the folks at
the back of your photo, all turned toward the player.

Great story! What a scream, he walks around carrying that. I wonder
what something like that would go for and where you'd keep it.

Thanks for that.

LOL!! On National Geographic this arvo was a show called 'Taboo'. Quite a
bit of it dealt with Pagans, and nudity, and Catholics, and nudity.....
seems they're all connected somehow.

Cool, but does he go everywhere with it? It's huuuge!
I'm sorry I didn't buy one in Australia, but there were so many
of them around (as well as boomerangs) it became almost
annoying to see.

Why was this an item to bring to a grocery store? Leave it in the car.

Maybe they were walking. What difference does it make, so long as he
wasn't being a nuisance with it?

You can see I'm an eBay newbie :-)

I thought you could view anyone who is/was a seller on there.

A question I asked him myself. Apparently it's too valuable to be left
in an unattended car. Even though in this neighborhood I leave
valuables in my car they are more easily concealed than a didgeridoo.

He didn't want to leave it in the car while they shopped so it's worth
more than I could afford. I'm kicking myself now for not asking it's
worth, I was too interested in his playing it and telling me about the
different woods and cactus ribs he's made some from.
