It began with a spontaneous dinner invitation. Make something easy, no stress, and let's hang out for a few hours. This group of us has been doing impromptu Sunday get-togethers for years- sometimes we go out, others (like this time) we go to one of our homes. Whipped up a keto berbere-taco pie and off we went.
It’s probably best if you grab a tasty beverage, refresh your memory on how YOU can contribute to Top Comments (and we’re not kidding… we really DO need you!) and hop below the story break to find out what happened next...
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern.

If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
As so often happens with these friends, we eventually began discussing music. And that’s when it all happened. See for yourself:
We went from Tuvan Throat Singing...
To the unique sounds of Tahitian Choir that Mr. Brillig adores...
Honestly, I’m not quite sure where the chicken yodeling came from…
But it led to a quick pass through Swedish Death Polka…
And that’s when we got to Pachelbel’s Canon on kazoo…
But wait, there’s more. Thank FSM and all things holy, there is no recorded evidence of this, but we just *happened* to have half a dozen kazoos lying around, and joined in. Then went through several other renditions of what could charitably be called covers, before disbanding our kazoo krew for the night.
This happens to you, right? When you get together with That Group Of Your Friends? Or is it something else that you’d like to share in the comments? :)
TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
We did not have any comment nominations, and I got home too late from the annual holiday dinner that the nursery school board I sit on holds for teachers to do much except glance at our kosmail and gmail accounts. Please send those comments in, and if you see someone in a diary say ‘this should be a top comment’ or whatnot, please encourage them to send it our way!
