Here it is! Only somewhat noteworthy for its size (it’s a Fansler operative anoscope, meant to be used on people under anesthesia), it is far more interesting for its musical abilities!
It’s a ben-wa anoscope!
Somehow this reminds me of the silver bells in The Polar Express that can only be heard by those who believe in Santa Claus. Ooh! Great idea! You can write a kiddie book about this magical anoscope and call it The Colon Express!
Thanks to you, Qadgop, I just now learned there was such a thing as an anoscope. :rolleyes:
Have you been drinking? You sound like you’ve been drinking.
Nope, he’s just old.
Qadgop, it is my sincere hope you aren’t supposed to play it while involved in surgery… :eek:
Um…considering where it goes, I sure hope not!

All I have to say is whomever Hanes is, he should be taken out and shot for dreaming up that position!
But it sounds pretty!
Sign in lobby: “Ring anoscope to summon nurse.”
I’ve gotten it up on YouTube! It took ages for them to convert it, but here it is!
Now I’m almost - almost, mind you - sad that I work at the other end of the body. That is one heck of an “instrument.”
Silver bells,
Silver bells,
It’s Qadgop time
In the booty.
The musical anoscope sounds like the perfect instrument to use with the harmonic scalpel.
There may be a future for Qadgop in composing operating chamber music.
I’m picturing a handbell choir…
only not quite.
Ring-a-ling,
I hear them ring
Give me some
more Versed now!
An assbell choir?
If Santa were a physician, we now know what sort of jingle bells he would have his elves wear.
Elfbabe, you might wish to make yourself scarce next Christmas.
You think that link is NSFW, check out the videos*
*REALLY NSFW
i haven’t watched the video yet. Is the anoscope a percussion or wind instrument?
It’s more like that thing you clean the woodwinds with.
I couldn’t link to it (got a page of odd looking code), but the youTube worked. How very…interesting.
What is inside it and why? (do I want to know?)
Between that and the Harmonic Knife (anyone else immediately think of Pullman’s Trilogy–this one for adults only?)–I think I’ll stand for awhile…
