Ugly Bongo Quote of the Day

[Aussie Mark]

Bongos are darn purty compared to some of the people who play them.

 

[bovinehost]

That's a fact, Mark.

As a young man, I played on a volleyball team with two Polish girls.

Warning: Non-PC joke coming up .....

Q. What's the difference between a volleyball and a Polish girl?
A. If you really had to, you could eat a volleyball.

 

[Aussie Mark]

Eastern block women rule.

Keep eating that Vegamite bro...you look pale and rather"pastey" to me....keep playing that pink paisley Fender bro.


ps: Are those "moobs"??

Did you find a bottle of rum under the bed Steve?

Did you find a bottle of rum under the bed Steve?

Nope...sorry...

 

[Aussie Mark]

Nope...sorry...

I did preface my post by saying it was a non-PC joke. Over the years I've heard the same joke used for many different nationalities (usually as a bowling ball, not volleyball).

 

[Aussie Mark]

Aussies are very good at taking the piss out of themselves. It's an admirable national trait. We don't burn embassies if someone tells an Aussie joke. Good thing the Irish have a sense of humor too, right?

<---90% County Cork and March 17th's 2 weeks away ya bastard...and it was Vodka I found under the bed and not rum pussyboy. (I'm only like 2% Polish and hate cabbage...makes me "gassy")

Dude runs away like a girl with arms flailing like a girl with the knowledge that Mark is like 5,000 miles away and upsidedown and farts in his general direction as he runs away in little spurts.

Don't push me Steve. I've got a bag of nappies the color of one of Jack's basses. The bag would probably fit in a Global Express Fixed Rate Envelope, so for $9 it could be in your mailbox by the middle of next week

 

[Colin]

That was good...somebody jot that down.

We'll put that in the highlights package for the end of year forum party

Looks the same colour as my radiator fluid. That should be the colour of BPs next bass

 

[dlloyd]

"Year's end???" What about now?? Meet me in Chicago and watch the river turn green in two weeks.

I'm down...you???

I may not make it to "year's end"..you??

I got into a whole bunch of trouble when I did that to the school pond many years ago. Happy memories

If they could make a bass in that color, I would buy it. Oh yeah!

.........I saw footage of a gig I played last summer on the Bongo 4 and it looks damn fine ..........

I love my Bongo. Especially in the dark.

Anyway, I've always tried to remind players who've fallen for the Bongo's tone, but still can't accomodate it's styling, that the way it looks hanging on a hook, or seen on a catalog page, is not the way it looks hanging on your neck with your hand on the strings. I'm not saying that adding a hand and forearm make a Bongo look *good*, just that you see less of it, and also that the weird circular look is not so in-your-face when the circle is interupted by the player's arm.

Plus, when a Bongo is being played, it becomes more 'animated', which kinda suits its cartoonish styling.
