This is such a dangerous stereotype. Yes honkwiching used to use trombones, but now most musicians use specially-designed, food-safe disposable honkers. Trombone players aren’t savages.
Um, actually the proper name is Tromboner…
I prefer “sackbut.”
Legit wondering if this is the “Dead Internet” in action and we’re seeing bots just spout human-sounding reddit-like banter at each other. O.o
if these are just bots then they’re pretty funny and clever and hot
Hot. Almost spilled my beer.
Or maybe there’s a niche honkwiching community that suddenly feels seen, and we all came to this comment section to wax nostalgic about our favorite feeding activity
Yeah, has that dude even been in a band? Honkwinching is one of the best parts of being in a band.
Ska was invented so that poor punk bands could finally get some food
(I know the actual history of ska, don’t @ me)
In ska they call that Skankwiching.
This guy skanks
Then how does the string section feed? Or is this the technique for all members of the orchestra? Communal trombones for all.
The string section are scavengers, they’ll wait for a poorly aimed honkwitch to land amongst them, then descend as a pack.
The spoils are divided up hierarchically, first violin always eats first.
It’s why strings are typically smaller people than the horn section too. Place a tuba player next to a violinist and the tuba player is always bigger.
Evolution at its finest
You use a mandolin to slice cheese and meats.
You fire off the sandwich using the strings like a bow and arrow, loony tunes style.
The rosin is a bit of an acquired taste; I prefer the dark rosin.
The string section is responsible for slicing the sandwiches into finger-sized snacks so that the floutists and other woodwinds may also join in the honkwich fun. Simply slide the honkwich between the fingerboard and the strings and then press down.
The real reason people learn to play slap bass…
Cheese.
…you know which kind.
I have such great memories of my mom giving me a good honkwhich. I would come home from school and she would feed me like a baby penguin. I felt so safe and secure, frankly I feel bad for the underprivileged youths who don’t get to have a honkwich.
I feel like I’m ootl… wtf is “honkwiching”
It’s basically sandwich huffing for boners
What you’re telling me you’ve never honkwiched?
It was defined in the post.
Can confirm, was a 'bone half a lifetime ago.
I was made section leader for the trombones in marching band so i made everyone call me “The Mayor of Bonerville” for a semester.
Thank you for your service.
Hello fellow former sackbut.
Yeah, any tromboner worth their salt is able to propel a standard issue PB&J at least 1 meter up into the air. Only those in training use a chair to feed the tubas.
A few years ago it was a meme that musicians were savages desperate for food haha
Musicians have always been savages desperate for food
Well, yeah, have you ever been around a band? Drummers in particular are going to say they’re going to the bathroom, but then you find that entire cheese drawer empty.
And don’t get me started on guitarists filching the sugary cereal. Or bassists and their jonesing for bologna.
But singers? Jfc, you won’t have any honey, canned beans, or marmite left.
I play multiple instruments, so I can get all the snacks
