8 chuggas to two choos.

Same ratio as badgers to mushrooms

for some reason I want 10 badgers to 2 mushrooms (have not heard the actual thing for *checks notes* 21 years) but absolutely agree on 8 chuggas for every 2 choos

oh, shoot. I think it might even be 11! (I'm hearing this as badgers are always there and mushroom starts on 12) www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIyi...

I’m not breaking my streak but I actually just counted on my fingers and was about to correct myself to 12 to 2, so it’s possible being 14 when that was new made it extremely sticky

Oh, I totally misread that part! (my brain is GONE today!!!) Apologies!

A graaaade it's A graaAAAAAADE!

This is the objectively correct answer

Agree. Had to say it in my head and count, it just sounds correct that way. Otherwise, vibes are off.

only correct answer. too many choos to chuggas if its less than 8.

3:1 followed by 2:1, i am a drummer, my counting is important subject matter expertise

this is why they don’t let drummers front the band swole. even with cornell they made him give it up and focus on vocals

This is Phil Collins erasure.

phil collins was in erasure?!?!?

no this is phil collins acknowledgement, look at how that went. appalling

Hey I was a huge fan when I was 12! And is there a single other drummer with a drum line that every single person who hears it has to do air drums? (Goes back and listens to Illegal Alien, ok, maybe you have a point.)

chugga chugga chugga choo chugga chugga choo?

4:2 in most cases

This is the correct take. Keep it short and snappy.

yup. sometimes 8:2 works in the right context though

Well now you have me mumbling all possible combinations in order of rising complexity as I sit in the lab and my coworkers side-eye me with concern.

😂

8 chuggas 2 choos. I will hear no heresy.

I agree, but does it change going up or down hill.

This train is very weak, it can only go on a level grade.

I think it's 4:2 chugga:choo

6x ugga 2x oo when going up grade 4x ugga 2x oo on the flat Either 4:2 or 2:2 acceptable on the downhill

The most accurate answer.

chugga X2 choo x2

this and 12:2 both imo

8:1

wait 4:1 since it has to be chop-choo

Correct and also thank u for simplifying your fraction

correct

4:1, 2:1 when approaching the station (baby's mouth)

i thought that was airplane noises.

If your airplane is making steam whistle noises I recommend a thorough engine teardown & rebuild plus airframe inspection for possible skin damage

lololol! i meant that feeding the baby was when airplane noises happen! XD

6

so, for example, twelve chuggas, two choos? chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo?

That's my ratio right there. For me each chugga are kinda doubled up into a chuggachugga kind of sound.

I would posit you're missing a very important chu chu chu Chu chu chu Before you get to the first Chugga chugga chugga chugga choo choo

Yes

6 chuggas to 2 choos I am so glad I am making the noises at my desk right now figuring this out

No gods, no masters, 14:2

12:2

Pure chugga choo choo anarchy: Chugga imitates the sound of the engine, choo the sound of the whistle. You can pull the whistle at any point. Any ratio is valid.

8 chugga : 2 choo (So I guess that the ratio can be reduced to 4:1.)
