Tuber Tuba
Looking for a toothpaste application.... | |
Plant some potatoes inside the funnelly part of a tuba and you will grow tuba tubers, a delight to all the family for at least one or two meals a year.
An added advantage is that by putting your ear to the mouthpiece, you should be able to make out to the amplified noises of a thousand happy worms
wiggling around in your compost.

The Vegetable Orchestra performs music solely on instruments made of vegetables. Using carrot flutes, pumpkin basses, leek violins, leek-zucchini-vibrators, cucumberophones and celery bongos, the orchestra creates its own extraordinary and vegetabile sound universe [pocmloc, Nov 20 2009]

I was expecting to blow through a potato. Should this perhaps be Tuba Tuber? (not my bone) |
|
| |
[bdag] your musical potato would be a tuba tuber - the word syntax (at least in my mind) is [differentiator][object]. It's the actual tuba that I'm talking about, not the potatoes that live inside it. They would be tuba tubers. |
|
| |
If you were to put a lot of these inside a cylindrical structure, you would have a tube of tuber tubas, each containing tuba tubers. |
|
| |
See and I always thought that [differentiator][object] would mean the second word was the object, the first word describing it. Sort of like the silly crayola colors of last decade. Orange-red is a red modified by orange. Red-orange is an orange modified by red. Now the colors are called Sunrise Mist or Tropical Illusion or some such. |
|
| |
Likewise I would expect that the object (Tuba in this case) would be modified by the leading word (Tuber) so that it would become, uh... |
|
| |
Bollocks, now I'm all confusled again. Maybe we'll just place the whole lot into the subway and call it the Tube's tube of Tuber Tubas. |

<Chewbacca's tube of Tuber Tuba> |
|
| |
IF the tube of tuber tubas had two bars on it,.... |
|
| |
[bdag], a tuba actually made of tubers would be silly. |
|
| |
Sounds like a tubaphore (but maybe that's only a stick of wood...) |
