Guten Tag!
 

I am doing my best to do as much learning as possible in my free time. I hope to utilize this site in that capacity!

You play bassoon? I like bassoons.

Welcome to the site

Yeah bassoons are cool. I like double reeds.

Welcome and guten Abend.
Don't be so brief.
What are you into? What would you like to know more about?

And yeah, bassoons rule.

That reminds me, I need to go fishing and catch some bass soon.

Fun fact: A "Bassoon" is called "Fagott" in German.

You're right, that was a fun fact.:)

I do love cruising for fagotts.

*throws piece of bread at OP*

You're it!

For the life of me I can't figure out why they stopped posting.

He's busy at the Battle of Reeds.

*resists urge to make a truly awful Fantastic Four joke*

Good lord this thread blew up in popularity out of nowhere.

fyi: posting in yellow may cause snow blindness.

The best way to answer a post where you is to copy/paste the [QUOTE=...] in front of each question you want to answer, or each point you want to address.
then close out with [/QUOTE]
Then you don't have to worry to use different colors to seperate who said what cause what they said would be in quotations.

This is for example what it would look like:

Now that he's it he has to give us ten seconds to run and hide but he must stare at us the whole time we're running.

Relax. I posted it how I wanted to post it.

Right. Just remember posting in Gelb ist hart für die Augen.

I was only trying to show you a more efficient way of conducting a conversation.

It was actually Abend in my German timezone.

And "What are you into?" is a question about musical tastes here.
To be honest I wouldn't say that MB is a good resource for learning about music theory, but it's good for bants and finding new artists.

Welcome to MB, BassoonPlatoon :wavey:

We would be interested to know a little about the kind of music you like. I hope you stay here, if only to keep poor grindy company: I think we only have about three guys from continental Europe.

A long time ago I assumed Norg and Mord to be from Scandinavia. Norg because I thought it was a reference to Norge (Norway in their own language) and Mord because "mord" literally means "murder" in Danish.

Is Norg the same as Isjorn ? I assumed they, or he, was from Scandanavia. Then there's you, grindy and Lilja and that's about it I think.

Forgot about Isbjørn. That's Danish, Norwegian and possibly also Swedish for "polar bear". Sounds like a Scandinavian allright.

Where's Lilja from?

I'm pretty sure "bants" is entirely local slang.

Isbjorn (**** that call him "Briks") is from Norway, and yes it means polar bear. I know because it was a whole thing. Seriously **** "Isbjorn". Damn fool was too dim to realize the genius of "Norway Jose".

Huh.

I was going to use cyan, but realized that the background of the forum makes that difficult.

Gelb fühlte besser.

*Gelb fühlte sich besser an.

Lilja is Swedish, tho with fear of being pedantic, Scandinavia (that's Scandinavia proper, sry Denmark lol) isn't usually counted as part of "continental Europe", is it? I'm also Norwegian btw, so that would count one more towards European members, continental or not.

Germany is scandinavian now?

Denmark is absolutely part of Scandinavia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia
There are sometimes arguments about whether Finland should be considered a part of Scandinavia, but Denmark is not up for debate.

But yeah, Sweden and Norway don't fall under Continental Europe.

Culturally yes, geographically; no way. This is from the wiki article you linked:
I'm glad we agree there, at least

You didn't say the Scandinavian Peninsula, so I didn't know that's what you meant.

edit: I made an oopsie

well, like I said, that post might've come off as pedantic, and it wouldn't have made sense anyway if I included Denmark in that, since there's no way around you guys being part of 'continental Europe' innit?

^ Well that's a surprise, Gigantic D ! I had no idea!

^ Try to pay attention, grindy: Germany is in Continental Europe, ok?

^ If Scandanavia is not in Continental Europe, where the hell is it?!

Shifting focus to Europe south of The Alps, ( or for the pedantic, south of an extended line drawn through The ), we left out Zarbaqal from Spain, but I think he's he's the only guy from Southern Europe. I wonder why.

I would have said it is Continental Europe.

Norway and Denmark are connected to the mainland.

Yeah, I don't mention very often in forum posts (simply because I have no particular reason to (not that I post a lot in general tbh)) so it makes sense that a lot of people wouldn't know.
Well if you wanna be technical - yes, it's continental, but most of the time, if you live in Scandinavia you would have to cross a stretch of sea to get to "the continent", so we might as well be off on some island like Iceland or the brits, leading us to fall outside that classification.

Gigantic D is always a nice surprise.

I stg I didn't intend a double entendre when I made this username

This is different than what I said how?
