holy **** check this bassist out!!!

Relax people, it could have been the 8,916,721,445,276,537,231,402,678th thread about Bill Clements. :scowl:


BTW, interesting technique he has; I enjoy people overcoming their disabilities.
 
actually, my friend with one arm laughed at those, it's only over sensitive fully-abled people that can't take those jokes.

Two overgeneralizations here:
1.) That anyone who has a disability or lost an arm found "joking about missing an arm" comments as funny, just because your friend did.
2.) Because I didn't think anything regarding THIS particular thread/topic as funny doesn't mean I can't take a joke.

You sure about that? I bet the performer would have found it funny. I know you're sticking up for the guy, and that's cool, but really, man...

THERE'S a guy who refuses to let something like missing half an arm's get in the way of his bass playing. Would that more of us direct our passion to greater things such as this. :D
 
thanks for the props, guys :) enjoyed the puns, even if I have heard them all before ;)

You know, if I lost one of my bass playing hands, I would sell everything and give up on music altogether. You sir, have much more stick-to-it-tiveness than I could ever possibly hope for.

Methinks your playing would increase tenfold if you replaced that sock with a puppet.
 
I'm gonna have to agree that anyone who is offended by these comments chooses to be offended by them. I have diabetes and a speech impediment and South Park made fun of both at the same time in a recent episode and I laughed. If you can't laugh about stuff then you have problems.
