Nacoran I had no idea they even existed lol! And I would love to find a light up harmonica. That would be awesome! I think it would be nice to see a page like that. Harmonica stores have Facebook pages, so why not? You could call it something like 'the wisdom of blues' or something, so people could find it :)

Guess it's karma, cause I got horrible news too aussiesucker...I've lost my fortune, its' gone- I'm broke...
It is true, Pride comes before the Fall...
My luck was going so strong that I went to a casino and bet my whole company on a black jack game and I lost...It's over, I'm at square one.
My investors have turned into a mob of raging maniacs and have burnt all my warehouses and other properties to the ground.
All the customers who were promised the next big thing have been left with nothing but a wing and pray.
My employees have filed law suits a mile long - I am going to die in jail most likely..
All I have left is my anguish, mental despair and a fizzled out dream...
Im sorry to all who believed in me and the Reed Less Harp Empire - It's over my friends, I am a nothing, a loser - someone to be mocked and spit upon, I'm so sorry :(

@Aussie(if i may be so frank) when(not if) your business acumen leads to a massive franchising venture could i be so bold as to offer a suitable fee for the Newzealand rights?
My marketing department has already come up with a campaign slogan.
"Newzealand the only country in the world whose national bird has no wings now has the the ultimate Harmonica ,the KIWI,which has no reeds!"
As, in expectation of your acceptance of this offer, i have told my boss that he can go forth and multiply,i would really appreciate a timely response.
And of course the Kiwi only comes out at night..how Bluesey is that!
We are on to a winner.

Jehosaphat> no you are not Frank ie it was his idea and he is now in liquidation. However I am in a position to offer you the NZ franchising rights based on the expectation that sales volume would roughly match your population. $3mioUS should secure it. In fact I would even be prepared to offer the entire business to you for a slightly larger sum. The "Harmless Harmonica' whilst suitable to play anywhere at any time is particularly suited to playing Blues in the dead of night. OOps I may have to rescind the offer as I just got an email from Germany...& the UK. Na I won't go back on my word its all yours ....done deal....so put your cheque in the mail or should I send you details of my Nigerian Bank account?
There is one born every minute. But I can visualise a huge market in NZ awaits. Can the sheep play harp whilst you fiddle ? Enjoy!

Something is wrong...Bad karma is spreading throughout the world on kind loving inventors you just wanted to spread a little sunshine and smiles to others...I watched this in horror, you can hear the perpetrators laughing - it's diabolical, is the end near my dear friends :0
These are the culprits expected of blowing up the duck :(

Few people know this, but Prince original was going to sing about 'This is what it sounds like when the ducks cry' but a cabal of ornery ornithologists convinced him that ducks were actually obnoxious opportunists.
Do not click on this video if you are easily offended by things of a sexual nature. (The guy who does these videos was in my graduating class at high school. They may be the funniest science videos on the internet.)
Frank, those dastardly villains! They got to my car this morning. The wired it so it would jump start once, but then only get a half a mile down the road and stall again and not start up (I was trying to limp it to the mechanic). Right now it's sitting at a CVS until AAA gets things sorted out with all the stranded snow related towing. Fortunately I have family with a spare car, so for the moment I'm actually driving in a substantial upgrade. This one actually has a working stereo. (My poor little Nissan hasn't had a working radio in 10 years.) I've discussed euthanasia for my little engine that could with the mechanic. If it goes over the $300 mark for repairs to pass inspection I think the only humane thing to do is to put her out to pasture. On the bright side, if they are only going after inventors, maybe my magnetic harp covers are making enough progress to draw their attention! (Progress has been briefly delayed because my car has been in paper weight mode for the last couple days and it's been too cold to walk to the hardware store (a decent walk even in good weather.)

HEAT!!! What are you talking about. It's freezing out!
I think you are reading your thermometer upside down...
Why is it I always feel compelled to make upside down jokes for Australia, but never for other countries in the Southern Hemisphere? I've known people from South America to South Africa, and never once have I felt the need to make a joke about them being upside down!
Seriously though, it is bitter cold out today up here. It's about 2 degrees F, or -17 for you Celsius people, and it's only 6:30, so it's only going to get colder now. They say it could go to -15 F (-26 C). I can't go outside without my mustache freezing inside a minute. It wasn't a fun day to be dealing with a broken car. I'm going to be taking IV hot chocolate for the next several days.

Lawdy lawdy, that duck video is a classic hahahahahahaha and probably is required viewing in the best universities in the world...
Ducks don't need no damn dong elongating apparatus to add inches to their ego hahahahahaha...
And don't get me started on cars - they are one of the most expensive toys to own - my breaks are ruined in a matter of years from the salt etc ...
Use to love the cold as a kid, now I count the days till I can retire and go south every winter - this feels very strange writing thoughts that are halfway non-fiction :)
While we are on the subject did you know that King Tut's mummified erect penis may point to ancient religious struggle...
