Curiosity he/him Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Because it's the best joke I've told in a while. Why'd the hipster burn his tongue? He drank coffee before it was cool. 8
Silverblade5 he/him Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Wanna here a construction joke? Sorry, I'm still working on it. 3
Kestrel she/her Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Ohh! Oh! I got one! What do you call ten flutes at the bottom of the ocean? a good start 2

Kaymyth she/her Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I play flute I have four flutes I just love flute jokes because they're so true its amazing. But this will always be my favorite one What's the difference between a saxophone and a lawnmower? you can tune a lawnmower I know. It was just particularly entertaining to me, as I have at *least* 10 different flutes in varying shades of oddball. I can play them all. Not all of them deserve to be played. Back in college, people used to come up to me and tell (the same) bad oboe jokes. Months later, upon having to take woodwind tech and getting to the part where they attempted to play the oboe, these selfsame people would come up to me and meekly tell me how much respect they have for me now.
Kestrel she/her Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 OBOE JOKES. I have a vast knowledge of those too I love band jokes. Ten different flutes tho that's cool owo Do you have a bass by chance? willing to sell????
DanTheSeamonster he/him Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Sadly, most of my vast *Ahem* arsenal of jokes are really old. But I'll still try. Two fish are sitting in a tank. One looks at the other and says, "Do you have any idea how to drive this thing?!" 2
Kaymyth she/her Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 OBOE JOKES. I have a vast knowledge of those too I love band jokes. Ten different flutes tho that's cool owo Do you have a bass by chance? willing to sell???? As do I. People never seem to get tired of telling them to me. Nope, nothing that fancy. Most of them are folk instruments. I do have my standard flute that's seen too many seasons of marching band; I never did get a super-nice flute, since oboe is my concert instrument. But I also have: a bamboo flute two glass flutes a ceramic flute (that thing is a bear to get a clear sound out of) two ocarinas four Irish whistles a soprano recorder an alto recorder a pretty six-holed wooden flute whose sound is piercing monster noise; more for decoration than anything a Japanese flute that is strangely tuned in half-steps. I don't even know what to do with this one. a quartet of four-note whistles I also have my oboe, an alto saxophone, and the family antique spinet piano. I...think that's it, but I might've missed a flute or two. And...singing all together now, "And a paaartridge in a peaaar treeeeee!" 4
Kestrel she/her Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 But do you have a normal flute My instrument collection..

We don't know how we got that many - a lap harp I also have some homemade rainsticks from like kindergarten lool I have a school piccolo too but I have to give that back tomorrow :c I do! It's an old nickel-plated Artley with marching band dents in it. Still, I keep it in good repair, and it is in better condition than it looks. I tried an open-hole flute for a bit; couldn't get the hang of it. I have problematically child-sized hands and double-jointed fingers that lock, so I can't get the positioning right to keep the keyholes sealed. My hands used to cramp up horribly before I got an extendible thumbrest for my oboe; my hands are the main reason why I couldn't go professional. I just don't have the ability to keep up the hours of practice that it would take for virtuoso playing without serious pain. Bamboo flutes are awesome. They have a nice, whispery tone and you can take them anywhere and drop them on anything and they won't break. I used to cart mine around quite a bit when I was in high school. I tamed the Evil Demon Cat From Heck with that thing. Well, "tamed" is a relative term. The Evil Demon Cat From Heck who scratched and bit all who attempted to approach her once deigned to rub against my ankles and purr one day when I was playing it. I've never seen so many human jaws come that close to scraping the floor as I did that day. Edited May 29, 2015 by Kaymyth 1
Kestrel she/her Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Oh nice. My marching one is a Yamaha, silver plated I believe. Or at least, a silver alloy of some sort. Its steel body, though. My concert is a solid silver. My babbyyy. Both are openholed. Which is bad for marching, but I just suffer through it because I lost. Every. Last. One. Of. My. Plugs. Man, that really stinks though, especially if you really did want to go professional. Mine would be great. If I could figure out how to make a note on the darned thing. I might have gotten scammed, maybe. Oh well. It was like.. $20 so. I would like to tame a demon cat.
Kaymyth she/her Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I'm sure you can get replacements for those. But you have my admiration for being able to handle those things, let alone march with them. My oboe is my baby: a professional-grade Loree that's probably almost as old as I am, so was built back in the company's heyday. I did spend time as a music performance major before I gave up the ghost. It's okay, though; honestly, I'm a lot happier playing in a smaller ensemble format than a full orchestra. Though right now the Celtic band I'm in may be dissolving due to one of our members moving to Texas. I just don't know what's happening with that yet, but I do know that I'll somehow wind up doing something, be it Celtic folk or steampunk or something completely different. I got my bamboo flute from an artist who does the RenFaire rounds. In fact, he's still at KCRF every year, and I got my flute over 20 years ago. The embouchure is a bit more particular than a classic flute, but it's not overly difficult. What you have may be a Looks Pretty For Tourists model. Taming the demon cat was one of the highlights of my young life. It's actually quite astonishing how often animals take to music; my dachshund adores the piano. When she was young, she used to hop up on the piano bench and hit a note or two with her snout to ask me to play.

Edgedancer he/him Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Japanese spiders are much nicer. I guess after the tsunami, they built their webs in trees, resulting in nightmarish images ....but they also ate all the mosquitoes before they could spread malaria. Good guy spiders. Talking about japanese insects. 1

Kestrel she/her Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 No, its not that. Its the fact that I don't know how to 3D model
+Slowswift Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) So apparently the rep system isn't/wasn't working? And I would like to add my voice to Kobold King's in registering my dissatisfaction with the downvote system. I see how it could be useful, but... seriously, there's no way for me to find out what I did that was so offensive, or anything like that. Edited May 31, 2015 by Slowswift
Kestrel she/her Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I'm neutral about the subject. I mean, it can offend but I'm not sure why. I personally don't care about my rep/being downvoted because that's your opinion of me/my posts and I can respect if you don't like it. Besides, i kinda want to see what happens when you get to -1000

Kaymyth she/her Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Yeah, it doesn't really matter... but when I can't find any reason for sudden downvotes, so I can't do anything to correct myself? Yeah, that annoys me. I've been experiencing the same thing, though I've identified a few of the posts. Most of them were innocuous enough that I still can't suss out what upset someone. Maybe they just really, really hate pony avatars. I dunno. I figure that since my rep is back to higher than my post count, I don't have any room to complain too much. Still, it's weird.
