/Satire/ The World Cup of Instruments in Hell /satire/

Eccles has another World Cup Tournament, this one of 'musical instruments' that have absolutely no place in the Liturgy or in the Church.

From Eccles is Saved

Or should that be Instruments From Hell? If you go to the "other place", which of course the highly-saved readers of this blog probably won't, what do you expect to hear?

"Welcome to Hell."

This started off as a battle between accordion-haters and guitar-haters, but it soon became clear that there were many other instruments that people didn't want to hear. So let's settle it with a World Cup (then, when we have the 2nd World Cup of Bad Hymns later in the year, we shall know what instruments to play the winners on).

Scotsmen love this. Others, less so.

Here are the nominations so far (apologies if I missed any). If you have others, then please leave them in the comments, or as replies to the Twitter tweet advertising this.
  • accordion 
  • bagpipes 
  • clarinet 
  • didgeridoo (electronic) 
  • organ (electronic) 
  • piano 
  • fiddle 
  • guitar 
  • harpsichord 
  • kazoo 
  • recorder 
  • spoons 
  • tambourine 
  • triangle 
  • ukelele 
  • vibraphone (also known as vibes, but not the good vibes that Pope Francis wants) 
  • vuvuzela 
  • washboard
We'll start when we reach 32 (a convenient number), or whenever I think we've got all we're going to get.


As recommended by the Spirit of Vatican II.

Addendum: We now have 32 nominations and will kick off tomorrow.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
