Yeah, I know I’m a little oversize, and I’ve been hitting the Luckies a little hard this week so my voice is kinda rough, but trust me, I can still belt those high notes, you won’t be disappointed. So, Mr. Piano, if I can have a middle C…

As soon as I saw the words “Cuckoo Clock Auditions,” I knew it was NTMTOM.
I don’t know this guy’s a little shady. He seems to be on house arrest. Nice green bracelet.
Umm, did I say something wrong? I am willing to repent you know.
PS: Is he hung over?
The owl, or NTMTOM?
Whooooooooo?

Hello, Arthur. Tell us something about yourself.
“I was the lead tenor of the Albuquerque Opera Company for the last two seasons. I just finished the road tour of Lilac Time, and last season I was up for the lead in the Broadway production of The Gypsy Lover. ”
What happened?
“I didn’t get it.”
Arthur, what are you going to sing for us?
“I would like to sing A Wandering Minstrel I.
♩♪ ♫♬ AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaAAAAAAAAA Wandr’ing Minstrel I ♩♪ ♫♬”
THANK YOU!
Should we try the veal, Theresa, or is that ill-advised here
in Cute Animaux-Land??
Hey, if someone recognized the dialogue, I’d be happy. (Hint hint, it’s another Mel Brooks movie!)
The Producers, of course! While auditioning Hitlers! I <3 that movie!
In the Mod Lounge? I said I love THE MOVIE not Hitler! Jeesh! Is Hitler a no-no on here?
Well, y’know, his politics are
JUST a bit … (ahem) outside the mainstream ….
(Just kidding, MiW
)
“We’re only seeing singing Hitlers now!”
it’s the ankle bracelet that really pulls it all together.
Is he on parole?
It’s A WristStrong™ bracelet!
Snerk.
a “Live Song” bracelet?
ya ni panimayu ….

(no you-tubin’ at work, but I’m sure y’all know what cartoon I mean… maybe it had the monster in it?)
Yep. Me tooooooofiiigaro.

I <3 the Rabbit of Seville!
@ Victoreia: d’ye suppose that
the Rabbit of Seville, might actually be / also be the Killer Rabbit, from MP/ HGrail film?????
hmmmmmmmmmmm….
Owls-awesome. Mini owls-ten kinds of awesome.
*straightens shirtsleeves*
ah-hem..
*mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-miiiiiiiii*
*tiny bow*
thank you.
(post-script: hi-frickin-larious, as usual)
*golf clapping*
“Mr. Piano”??? Is that.. Mr. DON Piano? He’s famous around these parts!!
You beat me to it, Swabh.
Why, I eyes ya!
All the live-long day!
even just thinking about it makes me laugh until i cry!
A little beefy for a barihunk.
More to love.
I like how he hasn’t had his chest waxed, too. 
Eh, call me a traditionalist.

The glare off his chest blinded me. I can’t even tell if that’s Gunn, Keenlyside, or Schrott.
This is my Billy Budd, forever. He was forty, and not a gym rat, and I don’t care.
A guy wearing both a shirt AND pants. How aniquated. True, with that voice, who cares?
Loves me a big, barrel-chested tenor.
And a big, barrel-chested baritone.
And a big, barrel-chested bass.
I could go on.
“And a big, barrel-chested soprano . . . “
(ahem)
While my VOICE might not be capable of reaching the soprano ranges, I would otherwise prolly fit that bill …..
(eyes roll)
Recondita armoniiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Operatic owlette is caught in the music!
Look it’s Owl Jolson!!

I love to sing-a!
About the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a!
Loved that cartoon!
true story: I sing that to my dog.
slight modification, though, as her name is Juno…
so I sing-o about the moon-o and the Jun-o and the spring-o.
I also sing it whilst walking around the block, and the neighbors prolly think I’m extra-weird.
I can’t tell you how many times I wish we had a CO community IRL. I’d love to be your neighbor. I like weird. I am weird. Weird is good.
*snerk*
Holy cow – an actual PHOTO CREDIT!
Good job!
“moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”.
and also:
“Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”.
Knock Knock!
Who’s there?
Cow goes.
Cow goes who?
No silly, cow goes moo. Owl goes who!
*Theresa wins this round!!11!!!*
Soooo much attitude and expressiveness for such a wee little owl!
In the Actor’s Studio interview, Mr. Owl said that this was due to his stringent training in Method Acting technique.
What’s his favorite curse word?
Whoooooooore!
♩♪ ♫♬… “Owl be seeing you…in all the owl familiar places…”…♩♪ ♫♬
it’s Digger! (i read the entire Guardians Of Ga’Hoole series, and am an owl nerd)
I was thinkin’ this guy’s the stand-in for Pigwidgeon…….(HP ref, there….)
I love that he has a whole branch of safety and yet he decides to cling to the last centimetre of wood.
hehe
‘centimetre’
I must be really old I immediately hear that song from sound of music Coo Cooo.
*It’s [ almost ] my BF* !!!!! *SWOON!!*

*rises from the ded temporarily*

*thud*
*faints agin*
ONo, this is my favorite (so much so I’ve probably posted it before). It made me laugh tears.
that’s probably the only visual worthy of such a great song!
Theresa: Cha-CHING!!!
AND it also features FEZZES !!!11!!!
Just your “almost boyfriend”? You mean he’s not your Inter-Dimensional Husband™?
Is Inter-Dimensional different than Extra-Dimensional? Is it ISIDH or ISEDH? I want to make absolutely certain that I am doing it properly.
And yes, Craig is in mine, which ever it is.
“gah”
*still unable to form words in the English Language, cuz I’m ded*
*for now*
*Film at eleven*
Definitely Inter-Dimensional (or Interdimensional) for reasons I don’t have time to go into right now.
@ Theresa: I think that it might be the
glossy leather shorts and suspenders, what does it !
OMG Theresa, thank you! I love Craig Ferguson SO MOISCHE. Probably the best thing about being “retired” is now I can stay up that late. YAY
Speaking of Hitler (see above) and “The Sound of Music”, my son opens as Rolf in three weeks! He just had his hair dyed blonder so he looks more Aryan. I’m so proud of him!
“I was born in Dusseldorf
And that is why they call me Rolf!”
Tap tap tap. *Clears throat* “Owl be loving you owl ways, with a love that’s true owl ways. Not for just an hour, not for just a day, not for just a year, but owl waaaaaaaaaaays”
Mister Owl looks like he had a very long night and now needs some beddy-bye!
It all depends what time of day it is on the foto…….;
if daytime, liddol Owlsie is sleeping and saying (listen for it) …… “Honk-shu……..!
If nightime, he is belting out his audition, American Idol style:
“…….And I…..I…..I…..I…; will alllllllllllllllllwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays luuuuuuuuuve
yuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…ooooooo…uuuuuuu……!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
‘wandrin’ minstrel’ is from the producers, both the original movie and the musical. hands down one of the funniest movies ever made, and mel brook’s masterpiece. “haben zie gehere das deutsches band? wit a bing? wit a bang? wit a bang bang boom boom bang? oh, haben zie gehere das deutsches band? wit a bing? wit a bang?”
THANK YOU!
“wit a bin.”
My son sang that as an audition piece recently. He got in the show.
YAY for MiW’s son!!!
*wild applause*
Hold on a sec. “A Wanderin’ Minstrel I” is from the Mikado, I believe. Gilbert and Sullivan. No?
Can we get a close up on that mini tongue?
*dramatic intro* Trololololo lolololololo, trololololo lolololo….”
(yep, too lazy to link to the dozens of youtube videos)
you beat me to it! Allow me to link for you:
And BTW, doesn’t this guy look like Edgar Bergen’s dummy come to life? Kinda creepy!
Yes. Now that you reminded me, I will have nightmares tonight. Thank you.
Clears throat. “Ahem. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie-Pop? One. Two-hoooo. Kronsch. Three.”
