Homemade Instruments



So you think you aren't musical? Think again pally!

If you don't already have/play an instrument, it's lots of fun to make something out of found and/or household objects! Especially for kids! Which we all are, right!?!? Go ahead, admit it. All this Woodzie planning and anticipation is making you feel like a twelve year old on Christmas Eve!

So try it. Start with this. The next can/bottle of beer you drink: rinse and dry the container, partially fill it with dry beans, securely cover the opening which your lips were recently slobbering over, and shake with reckless abandon! You just made a shaker, and the beer is helping!

(And no, shaking a can of baked, ranch, or refried beans does NOT work...)

To avoid litagation I must point out an offensive term used by, and not condoned in any way by the Woodzie corporation and its subsidiaries. To Wit:
"Wild Hog" is an offensive term. The Politically correct term, sir, is undomesticated swine, thank you for your attention to this matter,
Woodzie legall team.

"undomesticated" is the perfect word.

We think of ourselves as undomesticated as a positive thing, women think of us as undomesticated as a negative thing. :)

I suppose we're just more in touch with our inner boar.
Will and I pee outside as often as wee can whilst beating on drums and howling.

Whether it's true or not, here's something every man believes... the second you were to become completely domesticated she'll start looking over the fence for one who isn't.

My 14 year old came up with the perfect word for what is created when being a smart aleck or acting the fool.... Jackassery! Jimmie and I have been together 35 years and just enough (near constant) non-domesticated jackassery is one of the keys! Being able to duck is another.

Hi there,

I have a question for the webmaster/admin here at www.blogger.com.

Can I use some of the information from your blog post above if I provide a backlink back to this website?

Thanks,
