Squad 6 Thread

Ideas are welcome.

Toga night. What could go wrong?

[ReddWing]

40 inches, hmm that poses a bit of a problem, not sure they'd buy the "I'm just happy to see you line" if I smuggled it in my pants. Perhaps they make a mini version of it. Maybe I'll bring my recorder from 4th grade, I stunk at that, lol.

On a side note I went to four department stores looking for a wig or new Bucks gear and nobody caries anything Bucks! Kohl's had a few spendy items and Target had four Redd jerseys. Perhaps Dunhams or Sport Mart have some Bucks items. If anyone knows of a good place to get any Bucks gear other than at the BC, I'd appreciate if you could help me out.

yeah, you probally don't want to get caught trying to sneak a 40 inch cylindrical object into a sporting event. I think I would rather just try carrying it in and being able to take it back to the car, then trying to explain to the FBI that I just wanted to support the team by playing an obscure instrument played by Australian Aboriginals.

Its pretty difficult finding Bucks stuff in this city, which is a joke. Then again, I recall there being a time when Brewers stuff wasn't all that common in stores like Kohl's or Target. Once they become popular again (crosses fingers thinking of Jennings), maybe we will be able to buy Gadzuric t-shirt jerseys without having to custom make them. Stores that have decent selections are Fanfare in Southridge, Brewers Clubhouse, and mall stores like that. No place really has that great of a selection and its probally better off buying at the NBA.com store.

It's only got a hole at each end, so put your fingers wherever you like!!!

It's all about the mouth and how you use your lips. In that regard, you play it like a brass instrument.

(just reading that post back, i could not have possibly put more double entendre in there!)

'This one time, at Aboriginal Camp I........"

hey GAD, I know I am new on here (I have been following the board for a year), but if there any openings I would be game. Wasn't able to make it down for the tryouts.

There's little point in taking a lone didgeridoo, and culturally it might be best not to open a can of worms.

So what you're saying is the didgeridoo is a didgeridon't?

[/totally lame joke]

[lawrybeard]

A didgeridoo is pretty damn hard to play. You need the whole circular breathing thing down.

I don't really see how there could be any cultural issues. It's not like there's Aboriginal law against white men playing it. It's more a celebration of their culture than anything else, and overseas it's associated with Australia in general, not just the Aboriginals.

Edit: lawry's right those things are bloody impossible to master.

It's offensive for non-indigenous women to play it, but I actually meant it more as a cultural cringe can of worms!

Third chant. If it works, it stops the old people from complaining about you guys standing.

If someone gets kicked out of the game (tech/fouled out/whatever) you should all chant "you're going home in the back of a divvy van" just to make Andrew smile.

It would be great if Squad 6 could bring in some unique insturments to the games. Such as the didgeridoo, the national instrument of Australia, to pay homage to the man paying for the tickets. Yeah, you may ask where the hell you can get one, but there are retailers selling them in the U.S. for a decent price ($30 with shipping).

I can get my hands on a didgeridoo, not sure if I'd be able to play it though. I can get drums too, I just feel a little wierd about bringing them into the BC.

Anyone have any good ideas for regular noise makers?

A drummer playing throughout the game would be an awesome addition for the atmosphere at the BC. That's also a staple of a lot of international football games. It connects the crowd the rhythm of the action. Drumming translates to basketball too, because like international football, the action is continuous. Unlike American Football and baseball where there are constant breaks in the action, although it's been used in baseball of course too.

You could bring a small drum and attach it to your body. Then it's basically like part of your clothes....you don't have to carry it. If you still feel uncomfortable, come up with a character and wear a mask to hide your face.

Well I'd hope the women would be at home in the kitchen ... but to be honest as soon as they break out Men At Work any other cringe factor doesn't really apply. There's a line and that's crossing it.

boy, if you think the idea of a didgeridoo is cringeworthy, I was going to dress up as this guy for the tryouts.

what about doing something until the bucks score for the first time. the okc fans just stand i think, but you could do something

They should all say We're playing spank the monkey.

Just like when Rocko said it.

Man, Jonah is one of the greatest characters ever created. It's scary how real he is, and how difficult he made it for teachers all over Aus. Too bad if you're a ranga as well....

For you non-Aussie guys - check out 'jonah takalua' on youtube.

Remember when this board was excited about Charlie Bell offering us a pizza party....

We should start a chant and hold up signs that say "Realgm Pizza Party"
