What if ?

[tanman]

Probably a different type of trix.  And a different type of rabbit. "Trix are for... adults only."  Sounds a little more sinister.

What if these trix are actually... 

[Bob]

Probably a different kind of prize in those boxes too.

(Bob makes note not to get any of that kind of Trix, or the kids' version either.) 

"Trix is for kids... who aren't already hyper enough."
"Trix is for kids... who are so active they really do need that 10,000 calories per day."
"Trix is for kids... who like a little color in their sugar."
"Trix is for kids... who txt?"
"Trix is for kids... because it's never too early to get diabetes."
"Trix is for kids... who are ready for a long winter."

[Bob]

What if they caught bin Laden finally?  It's been kind of quiet.   This sounds like a good time for it.  Maybe within the next year...

[Bob]

(drum roll)

What if... there was a Sarah Palin piano concerto?


Answer:  If there was, it would only be half-finished.

Ask the Chief Mullah of the Thaliban...

What if... you performed a strict and serious classical recital but followed it with an audience-participation rendition of "Dayman?"

[tanman]

What if I performed John Cage 4'33 as an encore? 

[m19834]

What if there were a secret kingdom in a land called music, which could only be accessed through the secret door, and getting to that door involved climbing mountains and crossing deserts and swimming oceans and walking through uncharted caves ... and in making the journey, the only possession you could end up taking through that door with you, is your soul --even if you started out with as much as you could carry, you kept having to decide on whether to drop a possession or turn back (or die where you stood/lay) ... and most of the world around you told you that the kingdom and the land did not exist, but inside of you, you had a compass that would not let you forget ... and you sometimes met other people along the way, but they often were not wishing to let go of their possessions and turned back or died, and so you had to let go of those people, too.  

And then, one day, you just find yourself inside the kingdom, and there are others people there, too.  And, you all sit together at tables and talk without sound as we know it, and you communicate without words ... it is just a presence of harmony.  And, what if in that kingdom there you were allowed to see and study the holy grail -- an immortal music ?  A kind of golden music that exists only within the land, and everything called music in your path leading to that land were just training wheels ... sometimes people never make it past the training wheels or they get caught up in them, focusing on the wrong things, and so they just stay in training wheels for lifetimes ... but, what if you didn't stay there and you found the kingdom and the land ?  What if that land had sirens whom sang to you and called you there from somewhere deep within you ?  What if you could not resist the call ?  

What if I were a siren ? 

[redragon]

What If we really do die in 2012?

[furtwaengler]

What if I were a siren ? 

What if I were Edgard Varèse?

What If we really do die in 2012?

What if we all die in the next ten minutes?

[goldentone]

What if we all die in the next ten minutes?

I'm still here.

[Bob]

What if I were a siren ? 

You have to play French horn in order to be a siren.  And have good eyebrow control over that horn.

[weissenberg2]

What If we really do die in 2012?

Not much we would be able to do afterword 

[go12_3]

What if I turned 20 years old...       

[m19834]

What if Liszt's Annees de Pelerinage represented his pilgrimage to the door of the kingdom, in the land called music ?

[thalbergmad]

What if I turned 20 years old...       

You have & at least twice

Thal

[Bob]

Hang on... Wait... Yes, yes.  I'm getting some kind of reading here.

what if there would be a piano that would have keys form the lowest frequency that humans can hear to the highest! i think that would be cool! except it would be kinda hard to play i guess... and then if you would be playing the highest keys that would be music moslty for kids because kids can hear higer frequencies better    
what if there would be a language that would be made just of diffrent tones and u would have to sing or play to tell something

[littletune]

(what if there was a piano..., if you were playing..., what if there was a language... !!!) that would be pretty cool too!     

[m19834]

What if I used to be an orphan pianist , but then, one time, I got adopted ?  

*the sun'll come out ... tomorra ... betchyer bottom dollar that ... tomorrow ... there'll be sun ... tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya' .. tomorrow ... you're only ... a day away !*  

[redragon]

What if money really did grow on trees?

[Bob]

It did at one point.  I heard something about a society that used leaves as money.  So money literally grew on trees.

[furtwaengler]

I'm still here.

What if I've never been so happy to be alive?

[littletune]

what if im not supposed to be on internet now... because its too late...
but what if i read something before and felt like i really wanted to write something but was too afraid but then couldnt stop thinking about it...
what if i read something that some people wrote in the begining of this thread that made me cry,  not because it was sad but because i thought exactly like that too. and what if i dont even know why it made me cry but it did. and what if im just a stupid kid that doesnt know anything about this human grownup world but what if i still know some things about the universe that others dont, what if i was thinking about it for as long as i can remember but i could never tell it to anyone because im just a stupid kid and nobody ever listens to stupid kids and nobody ever takes them seriously because they are just stupid kids. but what if i die and nobody will ever know what i know and what i think and what i feel. what if noone will ever know about the worlds that i have in my head what if noone will ever really see my soul. what if then it will be like i have never really existed??? what if im just really stupid? what if im the weirdest kid in the whole world what if im from another universe and im not even supposed to be here?? what if im just a mistake??? what if ill never be really good at anything? what if ill never be able to be what im suppose to be? what if nobody will ever care?
what if i will be sooooo sorry that i wrote this....what if i will just delete this tomorrow... what if i wont ever wanna go on this forum again because ill be too embarassed and afraid...
what if someone comes into my room now!!! what if i wont be able to sleep what if i wont stop shaking what if i have a fever and i just wrote this because my brains arent working right...

[ahinton]

You have & at least twice

I suspect, nevertheless, that "twice" is at least three times more often than you've attended that charm school for the address of which I once asked you. Ah, well...

Best,

Alistair

[pianowolfi]

What if littletune just played a little tune?

[Bob]

What if I didn't keep dreaming someone was knocking on the door last night? 

What if I didn't get up to check "just in case?"

What if I only dreamt I got up and checked the door? 

What if that didn't happen at least five times?

What if I didn't turn my alarm clock off somehow?

[go12_3]

What if there is no tomorrow?

What if we loose an hour of the day?

[Bob]

What if there's now less than three years until the end... of something.  Is it the complete end of the Earth?  Or the end of the universe?  Including time?  Or just the end of people?

[furtwaengler]

What if I avenged Bob?

[Bob]

I'm not forcing you to.  It's only if you want to avenge me that you should avenge me.  I can wait.  But if you're anxious to avenge someone, well hey, I'm right here, ready to be avenged so that's good.  (Bob thinks it's a lot simpler if someone is very decisive about being avenged and can say it in two words.)

What if I used an old alarm clock last night and just discovered it wasn't set for daylight savings time so I'm up an hour early today?

[littletune]

hmm ok... so what if everyone thinks im crazy and stupid ... at least i dont have to worry anymore about what i say and about someone finding out im crazy and stupid because everyone knows it already! so thats kinda cool what if now i can say whatever i want and not worry about how stupid and crazy it sounds at all!!!

What if littletune just played a little tune?

littletune really loves playing little tunes  but for now they are still very veery little even a lot littler than littletune 

[pianowolfi]

what if I found littletune not stupid or crazy at all?
what if she was just very intelligent and should stop calling herself a stupid kid? 

[furtwaengler]

What if I was just as pretentious as the next guy?

[john11inc]

What would happen if we eradicated everyone under 18 from this forum?

[littletune]

what if littletune is very very happy because of what pianowolfi has said     
but what if she is also sad because of what someone else wrote
what if some grownups are just too grown up?? what if some grownups just had too many synapses (conections between brain cells) eradicated when they were growing up??? because kids have much more conections between brain cells as grownups do, thats why they are so creative and learn some things much easier and quicker than grownups do and they play and have fun! but what if some grownups lose too many synapses and they become boring and grumpy grownups and they are not nice at all because they are jealous of those who know how to be happy and have fun and play.....
what if i am so very happy and thankful for this forum that noone can even imagine.... and what if i dont want to think at all about not being able to be here.... (well what if i just lied about my age then.....)

[pianowolfi]

What if I was just as pretentious as the next guy?

Lol   what if Furtwängler was a prophet?

[thalbergmad]

What would happen if we eradicated everyone under 18 from this forum?

years or inches?

[pianowolfi]

years or inches?

waist or height?

[ahinton]

waist or height?

IQ or post count?

Best,

Alistair

[m]

What if instead of wasting time for "What if", in fact, we'd create something worthwhile. What if that "worthwhile" was that "what if", which in fact, we could do, but chosen not to, because instead of that we've chosen to start yet another "What if" thread?   

Best, M

[littletune]

what if thinking about what if can really be good for your brain and it helps you think about all the different possibilities which then later helps you to create something worthwhile?
and what if the people who dont like the what if thread just stoped reading it??

[Bob]

What if someone were grumpy?

What if someone posted under a different name?

[redragon]

What if I wree an epxrte tpyits?

[Bob]

What if I sold sock puppets?

[littletune]

what if i was really a ghost?? 

[thalbergmad]

What if someone posted under a different name?

This is not possible.

Bob

[Bob]

I was actually wondering for a second how I had posted under Thal's name. 


What if... there was a fantasy symphony like there can be fantasy football?

[littletune]

what if i get a piano for Christmas!!
