This is a man who really needs to get a Handel on his life. |

| Captain Kierk The tooth? You can't Handel the tooth! |
||
| Captain Kierk Oh dear -- I see I doubled up on a Handel gag. Can I take it Bach? |

Captain Kierk: Oh dear -- I see I doubled up on a Handel gag. Can I take it Bach? Bah, no worries! Let's go to the ice cream shop and have some Schubert! |
||
| Captain Kierk So after buddy stole the teeth, Verdi take them? |
||

Captain Kierk: So after buddy stole the teeth, Verdi take them? Any number of locations. It's a long Liszt. |

||
| phlegmmo So, he just waltzed right in there and took them? |

| MaudlinMutantMollusk phlegmmo: So, he just waltzed right in there and took them? Some graves are easy to get into /Mozart not |

Captain Kierk: It sure is hard to think Vivaldi places they could end up We have to consider that he might have been flat baroque. |

Captain Kierk: I guess that would explain why he was Chopin for dentures in a cemetery... He didn't have many options, let's be Franck. |
||
| Captain Kierk Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: He didn't have many options, let's be Franck. I completely agree -- it's a pretty Straussful situation to be in... |
||
| MaudlinMutantMollusk So, I assume this guy Borodin? |
||
| Captain Kierk MaudlinMutantMollusk: So, I assume this guy Borodin? Maybe he was Haydn in the bushes? He could've snuck in and out in less than a minuet. /Inner band geek: exposed. |

Dammit, Captain Kierk. :-) |

Damn! All the pun-able Germanic composer names have been used. Damned hard to pun Tchaikovsky or Khachaturian. |
||
| Sneakytoes Maybe he wanted to clone them. That would be cool if somebody cloned Brahms. Strauss, not so much. |
||
| MaudlinMutantMollusk Sneakytoes: Maybe he wanted to clone them. That would be cool if somebody cloned Brahms. Strauss, not so much. But what would we do without Levi's? |

| Coelacanth Beethoven's gone, but his music lives on, And Mozart don't go shopping no more. You'll never meet Liszt or Brahms again, And Elgar doesn't answer the door. Schubert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh, Whilst composing a long symphony, But one hundred and fifty years later, There's very little of them left to see. They're decomposing composers. There's nothing much anyone can do. You can still hear Beethoven, But Beethoven cannot hear you. Handel and Haydn and Rachmaninov Enjoyed a nice drink with their meal, But nowadays, no one will serve them, And their gravy is left to congeal. Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds With their highly original sound. The pianos they played are still working, But they're both six feet underground. They're decomposing composers. There's less of them every year. You can say what you like to Debussy, But there's not much of him left to hear. Claude Achille Debussy-- Died, 1918. Christophe Willebald Gluck-- Died, 1787. Carl Maria von Weber-- Not at all well, 1825. Died, 1826. Giacomo Meyerbeer-- Still alive, 1863. Not still alive, 1864. Modeste Mussorgsky-- 1880, going to parties. No fun anymore, 1881. Johan Nepomuk Hummel-- Chatting away nineteen to the dozen with his mates down the pub every evening, 1836. 1837, nothing. |

Okay, time to lay off the beer, I'm making lame-ass puns on names that are already in the headline. /I fail |

Terrible headline. Subby, please study this thread to see how you might have done better. |

Teeth, eh? They should question this guy. ![]() /Hot as Frau Totenkinder's wrath. |
