Fake Boar's Head Needed - Urgently!

[jourdain2]

Complicated, but we are singing 'The Boar's Head Carol' on Sunday ( a rousing, quaffing ditty) and wanted to lift a boar's head on a platter at the end. No prob. in France. The squeamish amongst us have vetoed a roasted pig's head with added tusks. I have tried to make a papier-mache head with dubious results.

Any ideas or suggestions as to a supplier before I come down to finding a pig-mask and a balloon ------please!

I wouldn't mind giving that a try, DT.

(it's not a bad beer, tony, better than Bud but then nearly everything is.)

[DaisyNonna]

Enjoyed that Tony

[tonyav]

Your welcome, Daisy.

DT, only one thing worse than Bud and thats Bud Light.

[DTCwordfan]

agree on that....

'Bud' is not beer, it is mainly brewed from rice. Made to be cheap and tasteless.

try Pabst if you want pure pishwater......

Thank you again tonyav, (pity about the sentimental graphics, but there you go). Now, there are about 100 of them and 8 of us (max. if everyone can make it, and I'm the alto) Good music, though, surely even atheists can agree on that! OK, I'll tell the other 7 singers that we're up for the challenge and have to do well on Sunday at 6.00 p.m.. Slight problem is that the whole carol service is candle lit and my torch keeps going out. Plus side, the 'Bread Boar' may escape too much critical attention :)

Thanks everyone....:o) xxx

Ohhhh, is that why it's popular with our colonial cousins over on the other side of the Atlantic.

Wishing you the very best of luck ( although I'm sure everything will be just fine ) jourdain.

[jourdain2]

You've got it, tonyav! :)

[DTCwordfan]

you could always try murdering Handel like this French choir.....

I always try to be polite DTC, so thank you very much for your interest and effort - but I'm afraid I only managed about 1 minute of this blockbuster version (I have sung it in the original version and I'm afraid that I'm too unoriginal to argue with it- I know, I'm staid!). :)

[DTCwordfan]

No, you are sensible to abandon it, jourdain! No wonder the bell tower at Caen collapsed, if they were singing this!!!

'Nighty night all :) xx

Night, sleep tight.

[tonyav]

G' night jourdain.
