Tull-isms

Three days of fun at IIMB, met Thakur after a long time, was taught Mafia by Kutty and made him my first victim, had a OUCH session with Alfi and bugged the juniors to death, and attended my first concert by a mainstream class rock band, Jethro Tull. Tull rocked, especially the front man Ian Anderson, who enthralled all with the flute, the acoustic guitar, and of course his vocals. So creative were they that it got our (read Error, Potter, Kutty and Cyborg) creative juices flowing, and resulted in the Tull-isms, a special edition OUCH production dedicated to Jethro Tull. Here’s how it goes:

  1. What would Jethro Tull be called if they committed murder and were sentenced to capital punishment?

  1. What if Jaggu (the only Nittian to demasculate a female) catches the band members?

Castro Tull

  1. What if they play in Cuba?

Again, Castro Tull

  1. What if they get drunk and conk out?

Jethro Talli

  1. What if they start killing insects?

Pest-ro Tull

  1. What would Anderson say to the others before using a canoe to cross the river?

Lets-row Tull

  1. What would they be called if they performed again on day 2 of Unmaad?

Jethro-Jal

  1. What if they really suck and the crowd wants them to leave?

Jethro Chal

  1. What would Agent Smith say when he met the band members?

“Mr. Anderson, I have been looking for you.”

  1. Who is the band’s favorite Harry Potter character?

Moaning Myr-Tull

  1. How would the band escape a deserted island?

By sending a message in a bo-Tull

  1. What if they become terrorists, what would they be called?

Tull-iban

  1. What do call the lucky charm they wear?

Tull-isman

  1. What if they were software programmers?

Jethro Null

  1. What would they be called if they performed on a ship?

Jethro Hull

  1. What if they suddenly stopped playing?

Jethro Lull

  1. What if they play funereal music?

Jethro Pall
