Torgo Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I wonder how many strips before Dilsby starts making Vallhenge replicas out of mashed potatoes, or whatever else might be at hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMSP Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Hmm. I'm trying to figure out what these notes mean. It's too late to play my trumpet to catch the tune, but I do not know the song for the life of me. I hope it's a haunting chill that a long lost civilization left behind. Got the tune now. Still no idea. Not that haunting. Edited October 17, 2016 by DMSP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, for those of you who didn't stay in band (and those of you who did, but whose memories don't go back to 1977) I think this is as good a clip as any to explain that sequence of tones: 30 minutes ago, Torgo said: I wonder how many strips before Dilsby starts making Vallhenge replicas out of mashed potatoes, or whatever else might be at hand. Hm... just because I didn't think of that doesn't mean I'm not going to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman979 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Was it a Dun dun Dun.....? Because it's not my clef. I did viola, and that's treble. Of course, that was back in 4th and 5th grades, so I probably wouldn't recognize it even if it were in viola. I can still play a mean "Twinkle, Twikle," though.

I was a tuba player, I can't even sight-read the top of the bass clef. (Sure, I play trombone now, but my motto is "I was just on my way to the right note") I had to keep repeating to myself, "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge" to get that last panel right. 1 hour ago, Just Jim said: I'm somewhat reluctant to admit I'm old enough to have gotten it right off the bat... Never feel bad for having lived! But hey, you're probably one of the few around here who reads treble so that counts for something too.

problemecium Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I used to read music at a mediocre level when I played cello, but that was a long time ago and in a different clef. I got the reference anyway ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelo Kerman Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I sense a disturbance in the persistence. It's as if six-thousand six-hundred twenty-one kilobytes all screamed out at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deddly Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hmmmm, so now the Kerbulans think that Intrepid is onto them and knows their location. It'll be interesting to see how that affects their choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the shot did miss by at least a million meters--if Intrepid did know their location they have a funny way of showing it It's transmitting the persistence! But to where? And why? Honestly, sometimes I don't even know. Seriously. I didn't even decide on the whole "death laser persistence upload" thing until Qwammer was parked on the surface next to it.

Starhawk Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I loved Bob Kermulans 'death laser' remark. And as for the electromagnetic phenomenon... Not to worry. That was just the Universe backing itself up. Happens whenever impending doom is about to strike. Happy Concerned landings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
