Typo?
Que the banjo jokes. I've played the banjo since high school (in lieu of learning much of anything else) and I applaud the scholarship winners.
Breathlessly awaiting the scholarships for accordion, bodhran, spoons, kazoo...
Congrats to the scholarship winners - This board is amazing - knock another musician for the instrument they play. Then the grammar police. WOW. I'll be seeing ya!
"Grammar police?"
Please, friends. It is 2021. :confused:
We prefer to be called "grammarians."
Thank you.
Edited to add: Congratulations to the scholarship winners for both banjo AND mandolin players!
Porque do you say "que" is "why" in Spanish when it is "what?"
And he meant "quit." ~:>
I applaud your noble sentiment, Hudmister. Unfortunately, you are here, and there is a context. :(
But I don't know why this has to be such a big deal. A banjo scholarship ain't worth fussing over. It's just a six-pack of chewin' tabacky and a tooth brush. Yes, not a teeth brush. :whistling:
Indeed, sir. We not only prefer thus to be designated, we insist thereunto.
Well I meant queue as "tee up" the banjo jokes but I spelled it wrong. Like I said, I've played banjo since high school so a certain level of cognitive impairment is to be expected. I'm fairly sure I know more banjo jokes than anybody. I have been trying to rehab my brain with the mandolin for many years but mental decline from all those banjo years is obvious and I sure could have used a scholarship why back when. Tengas un buen dia, via con dios.
I play banjo, therefore I can tell banjo jokes. I think banjo players know more banjo jokes that most other folks.
I sympathize with you, sir, for the suffering inflicted upon you over the years by spending so much time in close proximity to the death-dealing devil's device, and the derision from others. I appreciate your efforts to turn your life around, and wish you well in this Sisyphean struggle. But mostly I appreciate your good humor in all this, and your understanding and tongue-in-cheek acceptance of the scorn you've encountered hereabouts. I found the prevailing attitude around here a bit disconcerting when I first landed here many years ago, questioned it, and was informed of the generally genial nature of joshing prevalent between devotees of mandolins and that other ... thing. I found it odd, and still do, though I've gotten used to it, even had my share of fun with it. And I doubt it will end any time soon, or ever. Such is the nature of jokes.
