Roland (aka Rollo The Rat) never knew what hit him. The old lady had been easy meat, yielding $800 cash and some very expensive makeup items, a gold pen and some nice opal jewelry.
Suddenly, there were ten or so burly, swarthy lads with big boots and weird music whirling around him, kicking the
crap out of him and cleaning out his pockets.
Later, he would describe the incident to the police officers who found him, as "Like being caught in a whirlwind of fairground clowns, carousel music and engineers' boots".
The little old lady explained to the police that "Some nice young lads, playing a beautiful Strauss waltz, brought everything back to me. They said they found it in an alley."

You just can't help yourself, can you :P
+ |
|
| |
No, not polka.... take the watch... take anything you want! Just don't play the accordion! |
|
| |
No, [Detly], I can't. I do like the idea of a few crews of these guys doing the rounds in the inner western suburbs of Sydney. |
|
| |
[Rayf], the idea chills you to your feet, doesn't it? |
|
| |
Where on earth would you come up with such a screwball concept as this? You are one very sick puppy, mate. |
|
| |
Oh the whirling, the waltzing, the kicking and the stomping... |
|
| |
There's this freaky halfbaker guy from Arizona. When he's on the halfbakery he's only half there, if you know what I mean. Half of him is missing, in a nice way. He provided the inspiration. |
|
| |
The feeding frenzy aspect of this concept is nice, I think. |
|
| |
Some might like to see the whole of him missing. |
|
| |
I know that dude. He'd never say anything like that. I'm thinking that it must have been the missing part that inspired this. |
|
| |
I can see the Batman TV series style sound effects graphic overlays now:
Ooom! Pa! Pa! Oomm!... |
|
| |
Sometimes justice is served to an unjustifiable soundtrack. + |
|
| |
[UB] they could hang around Lakemba at the moment if you know what I mean. |
|
| |
I get the feeling that Weird Al would thoroughly approve of this idea. |
|
| |
And I suppose a variation of this would be Roving Gangs Of Vigilante Pipe Bands?
"No, not Scotland The Brave! Have mercy!" |
|
| |
Is yer sporran full, laddie, or are ye just glad ta see me? |
|
| |
Coming up next:
Yodeling Ninjas! |
|
| |
I will never fear to walk the streets of Sydney as long as you are there. + |
|
| |
I'm not in Sydney, though [Detly] and [madradish] are there. There's a gang violence problem in some parts of Sydney, to which I referred. The whole place has become a hotbed of gang -v- police violence. |
|
| |
Terrible city... don't go there... [benfrost] and I wisely avoid it. |
|
| |
I said, "...as long as you are there." And you are not. So, I fear walking the streets of Sydney and therefore I probably will not go. |
|
| |
I went to the doctor once for an examination... After listening to my heart, he called the police and said "This man is a member of the Polka Gang! Arrest him!" When I later had the chance to ask him what gave me away, he answered "Afterbeats!" I had no choice but to confess. |
|
| |
Half those are good names for the
gangs. Like the Ooom Papa's or
even the Ooom Pa Loom Pa's.
Some how I see this subject matter
on U62 the little known UHF
station. + |
|
| |
Irish Bagpipers of Belfast? |
|
| |
That would be awesome if you could imagine the little Ooom Pa Loom Pa's kicking the crap out of somebody for stealing a little old lady's purse. Of course they'd have to break the mugger's knees to get him down low enough to kick the crap out of him. |
|
| |
I'm missing part of this puzzle... what the hell are Ooom Pa Loom Pas? |
|
| |
"Oompa Loompas" are characters from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" aka "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". (link)
[k] beat me to the link. |
|
| |
I added a link that has pictures and plays their theme song. |
|
| |
[k_sra] - don't listen to him. Most of Sydney's fine. |
|
| |
Come visit and I'll look after you. |
|
| |
She will, too. She's big and mean and nasty. |
|
| |
She's actually Amanda Vanstone. |
|
| |
I don't think I'd take it quite that far. |
|
| |
Next offshoot: Bluegrass Pirates. It's Captain Hummerlips on the jaw harp, First Mate Longthumb on the banjo, and Slobbertongue the cabin boy on his trusty harmonica. The crew of the good ship Moonshine back them up in dubious harmony. |

The News of the World (Honest, believe us, everything we post is the god-honest truth...) today posted an article which has saddened the nation:
'The Roving Gangs of Vigilante Polka Bands have retired. Facing increasing difficulties in keeping their image fresh and their methods effective, vigilante leader Rolf 'Didjeridoo' Harris has decided to shut down the last operative band. He said: 'We just can't cope against today's crime methods. I mean, what can you do when you have just got back an old lady's opal jewelry from a passing ruffian when you are beset by the South Central Suckas who knock you for six using lyrics from Ja Rule and 50 Cent. We just can't fight them....'
Reports have it that Roland has since been seen with a huge collection of opal jewelry as old ladies around the world despair. Former polka band member Rod Stewart was heard to comment: 'I mean, who's birthday is 50 Cent so keen to celebrate and in which club is the party cos it sounds damn fly.' |

| |
Check out my link... this may have become BAKED!!! Ahhhh! |
|
| |
isn't this "cruel and unusual" punishment and so likely to fall foul of the lawyers, and could the vigilantes offer a "pick your own playlist" option to get around this? |
|
| |
It's probably cruel and unusual, yes. It's also illegal to form vigilante groups in most societies. Why would legality bother these guys? |
|
| |
Shouldn't this be on the Super Hero list? |
|
| |
News flash: in a particularly brutal display of gangland violence the Swingin' Zoot Suit Boys were simotaneously wiped out in what was described by witnesses as," a terrifying interlude of accordion followed by a hail of gunfire." Police say that the existing evidence can only point to one thing: 'The Roving Gangs of Vigilante Polka Bands' has broken there retirement in a most deadly fashion. |

<steps far back from [newser]> |
|
| |
Accordian, accordian, accordian, |
|
| |
I'll steal just to hear one sing. |
|
| |
In public today I saw/heard two Italian boys playing Accordions. I couldn't help but sneak a peek around, to see if there were another eight, in the vicinity. |
|
| |
If I hear the sound of an accordian whilst mooching 'round a market place, I can't resist searching for the musician and emptying my wallet into his beanie hat. |
|
| |
Thanks, [Canuck], for reminding me of this idea. One of my favourites. |
|
| |
Phoenix - congratulations - this pops up first when googling for Yodeling Ninjas |
