Someone Started Playing the Tuba Outside my Bedroom Window at 4:45AM

[J Larsen]

Apparently he thought it would be funny to wake up the block with some marching music.

[7/4]

He could get a gig at DMG.

[John Tapscott]

Maybe he was a late comer to Braxton's 100 (or was it 1,000) tuba gig?

[EKE BBB]

I love "St. James Infirmary", even if it´s a tuba solo.

[GA Russell]

I don't see your shooting him with your .357 listed among your options.

[J Larsen]

Well, that would have made the news, so everyone would have known not to choose that option.

It may have been more fun to ask "what would you have done".

[Randy Twizzle]

He's obviously trying hard to become one of those supposedly lovable NY characters that people write about in the Times' Metropolitan Diary ("You can imagine my surprise when I was awakened at 4:45 by a man playing a tuba...") Buy a rottweiler..

[Brownian Motion]

The Squirrel's Revenge.

[J Larsen]

Damnit! "Throw the squirrel at him" would have been a great option!

[Jazzmoose]

I should have known when I selected 'St. James Infirmary" that it would be the leading candidate...you people are as nuts as I am!

There were quite enough nuts in this thread already, Jazzmoose!

Like, is there really any alternative?

[BruceH]

Hasn't this guy heard about there being a lot of guns in New York?

I was more anti social. I put my vote in the column that suggested that the asshole better have a big asshole or get ready ro get a new asshole constucted in a hurry.

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

what if its Ray Draper

[JSngry]

The you better call Ghostbusters, because Ray Draper's been dead for a good long while.

Now if it was Bob Stewart...

[Spontooneous]

You wouldn't consider grabbing a snare drum and joining the tuba guy? A little 4:45 a.m. second-line? Seems a viable option.

[RDK]

When I hear stories like this, I always wonder if anyone ever called and complained when Sonny was practicing on the Brooklyn Bridge...

Good Morning My Neighbors

[J Larsen]

When I hear stories like this, I always wonder if anyone ever called and complained when Sonny was practicing on the Brooklyn Bridge...

I think the whole reason he practiced on the Brooklyn Bridge (rather than, say, in his own apt or in the middle of the street) is that no one lives on it.

[JSngry]

Wasn't it the Williamsburgh Bridge?

Not even hobos?

[RDK]

The point is: wherever the fuck he played I'm sure someone complained!

[chris olivarez]

Probably. But I doubt that he woodshedded outside of someone's house at 3 or 4 in the morning.

[Free For All]

Sounds like you need a tuba ligation.
