one man in a traditional pantomime cow costume using his own legs to work the front legs has both hands free to manipulate levers linked to the cow’s mechanical backlegs.
the other guy can make the coffee or sell tickets or something…
should he wear one of these?

..and when the panto's over the person climbs out two pounds in weight lighter. |
|
| |
Your'e really odd, po. You know that
right???
In a good sort of odd way. |
|
| |
Why pay two mimes?
Why pay one? |
|
| |
I'm hesitant to approach the ticket window... [+] |

I'm in favour of this, yes, having been, at least once in the past, the back end of a panto horse (though not professionally, I should add). It damn near broke my back, all that bending over at the waist all day. I wasn't allowed to be the front. My co-cow-er was five foor tall and keen to avoid giraffe-age, which would, I was told, have made us look ridiculous. |
|
| |
[calum] I have to confess - the thought of you as the backend of a panto horse excites me enormously... |
|
| |
Apologies, I was glancing up top and noticed //Yikes, my ?// |
|
| |
Don't have a cow man. [+] |
|
| |
But who'll controls the facial expressions? |
|
| |
At this point I think it's [po]. |
|
| |
Wouldn't a pantomime penguin solve the
whole problem more simply? |
|
| |
1.Perhaps Maxi...however penquins do
not typically prefer the posterior
position, or so I've been told. |
|
| |
2.Geesh lurch, get a booth...(+) |
|
| |
3. po, what's a panto horse? I know of
pinto horses and pinto beans, they
sometimes involve a butt ;-)
(the beans that is.) |
|
| |
4. Flapper, the ? keeps going from line
one to line two depending on the
alignment of the current comment, I
guess. Sometimes it's ???
and at other times it's ??
? |
|
| |
Okay, now I know what a "pantomine"
is. |
|
| |
However, isn't a panto horse simply a
bigger pony in your pants? |
|
| |
And wouldn't it be the same as calling
[calum] a horse"s ass? If so, wherein lies
the difference between that and a "rat's
ass? |
|
| |
Oh btw po, I bunned this, and was not
part of those *horse's patoots*, who
boned this funny idea! |
|

There is, in my junk-crammed bedside cabinet drawer, a disposable camera featuring what I hope will be full colour shots of me in horse's arse garb, cavorting about at the fancy dress party that necessitated the outfit. One day, when my life is no longer one of penury, I will get the pictures developed and then, when I have them, I will forward them onto you, po. Can't say it'll be soon, though. |

//full colour shots of me in horse's arse garb// |
|
| |
Sounds like an idea for a bachelor party... |
|
| |
I'll send a cheque, dear [calum] |
|
| |
pin the tail on the panto halfbaker seems a great game. |
|
| |
<bart simpson>Don't have a man, cow!</bs> (No, that's not addressed to anyone in particular, it just came to me). |
|
| |
The bloke at the back of the cow can still perform that task.
Might not look very suave being oferred a cup of coffee and a strip of paper from that end |
|
| |
Many panto-horse acts are getting on in years. When
one member of the duo passes away, what's the
other to do? A change in the act doesn't come easily
to aging music-hall comedians. [po] -- as ever, kind,
creative, and, um, ... strange -- has the solution. |
|
| |
I read 'panto horse' to mean that the levers the guy is working are connected to the back-end parts via scissors joins like a PANTOGRAPH. But that's just me... |
|
| |
[12 1/2 years later. This shit has a life of its own.] |
|
| |
I'll bun the idea, but the simpler question is "Why pay two pantomime cow performers in the first place?" |
|
| |
The idea might solve any issues with the front end guy farting though. |
|
| |
Wholly cow. This shit is bananas. B.A.N.A.N.A.S. |
|
| |
Per Jinbish, sounds like a pay-per-ride to be the back of a one-woman panto. |
