ABR Discussion Thread XXXI - The Gift of Fish

Isn't a fiddle and a violin the exact same instrument, just played differently?

Indeed
Though if Wikipedia is to be believed, there is no actual instrument called a "Fiddle", but the word can refer to lots of different types of intrument.

[Emperor Ing]

I'd like to see someone play the Harp or Piano in a fiddle-like way.

Audio plz?

Audio plz?

I don't think he actually did, he's just awesome, and hilarious.

[Emperor Ing]

Well I can't say i've ever heard of him, and even if I did my list of known celebrities and musicians by their face let alone name is tiny.

[Khaeta]

Fiddling is just a specific style of playing a violin. It's kinda like the difference between playing chords on a guitar and playing (on the same guitar) some kind of crazy rock song.

Well he's not a musician. His name is Harpo Marx, he was one of the Marx Brothers, a group of Vaudeville comedians who started making some very funny movies way back when.

Oddly enough i've heard of the Marx Brothers, I just would never recognize them by face.

They're pretty distinctive, but if you havn't seen their movies you probably wouldn't recognize them.

[Emperor Ing]

I'd have to have watched all of their movies several times over before I can even begin to recognize their faces, it's not that i've never seen them it's just that without any major distinguishing features it's very hard to recognize anyone.

Probably not, they always wear the same outfits, and essentially play the same characters in every movie. Harpo always has that Hat and hair.

Of course, the most recognizable is Groucho, if you'd seen any of their movies, you'd definitely recognize him (provided he has the moustache and cigar, which he always does).

This is pretty much me asking why this thing isn't moving forward.

Y'know...if you want to move things forward, you could move things forward. Even if it's just a matter of Team Good going through the opening.

Just sayin'. :/

For a really bad, contrived joke based on a stolen running gag.

[Nameless]

I am back from the land of Dutch people.

Hello.

Eh. I had to get Victor off the ship anyways. Besides, it was mostly a way to see who was still doing the comic.

I'm going to be doodling a Sgt Pepper ABR thingamajiggy later tonight.

Xartyve2 will be Paul McCartney and Q can be Ringo Starr (c'mon, they were made for each other).

Any thoughts on who should be Lennon and Harrison?

Why do I have to be the ugly one?!

Then again...He is the only one left alive, isn't he?

[Kumo]

Because somebody besides you is casting the roles

[Silverraptor]

Ooooooo. Burned.

[Green-Shirt Q]

So?! Q isn't ugly! Other then his bulbous nose, where could you possibly get the notion Q is ugly? And how does he fits Ringo's personality at all?!

If anything, he should be the one who claimed they were bigger then Jesus. That sounds like something Q would say.

Hmmm... I got 4 signed autographs of Ringo Starr...

So then that must mean......

...Holy Crap! I got 4 signed autographs from The Q! My comic MUST be good!

I dunno (partly cuz i dunno who Ringo is). How do you fit in with a pikachu? Or X2 fit with Bayonetta? Or me fit with a elf sorcerer?

[CrimsonAngel]

What!? Ringo Was In The Beatles! You Fool!

Q as John Lennon? Not bloody likely!

[Kumo]

i wasn't alive when the beatles were around =/ and i can't remember hearing any of their songs... though that's not surprising, since i never really associate the artist with the song anyway.

I dunno about me and Bayonetta but she and Xartyve2 sure have a lot in common, super powered spellcasters with only one life whose abilities are granted by some hell creature(s). They both have amnesia and are justifiably overconfident.

Holy crap! That's scary!
