JimLucas Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 For a chuckle and a tear, check out this eBay auction.
grant wright Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Its a bandoneon,they have an anglo tuning system,and are popular for the tango. Or so I am told.Some can sell for US$2000.
Chris Timson Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 (edited) Band onion, aye. Reminds me of some friends booked at a festival where the programme had clearly not been proof-read. They were accused of playing mandokins and bonzonkis. Chris edited because I didn't proof-read my own posting... Edited June 8, 2004 by Chris Timson
JimLucas Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 Band onion, aye. Good thing they didn't add to the typo and call it a "bland onion". ... That would have been an oxymoron.
Robin Harrison Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Question......Whats the difference between a bandonion and an onion ? Answer........You don't cry when you cut a bandonion up .. .........With apologies to all bandonion,melodeon,bagpipe,banjo etc players !!
premo Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 At the risk of c.net users going 'What?', I will just add the following comment. Band onion - one tune and that's shallot!

Tim Hall Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Band onion - one tune and that's shallot! I might have bid on this one, but the bellows were full of leeks. Tim

cgal_1 Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Yeah! but if you'd won it you'd be cress fallen. Sorry but I can't match the other 21 carrot remarks.
Chris Timson Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Don't eggplant him on... (showing my multi-culturalism there, since over here the eggplant is known as the aubergine, a tricky name to pun with). Chris
JimLucas Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 ...over here the eggplant is known as the aubergine, a tricky name to pun with. Do you have the abc's to "Begin the Aubergine"?
JimLucas Posted June 8, 2004 Author Posted June 8, 2004 Yeah! but if you'd won it you'd be cress fallen.Sorry but I can't match the other 21 carrot remarks. We started out with some rye humor, but now it's gotten so corny, we oat to know better. I barley dare to show my face; it's turning radish with embarrassment. Well, the sage man knows when he's beet and it's thyme to move on. But it's bean nice knowing you, and I'll be cumin back. I might even turnip sooner than you think. So... dill next time.
tomlaw90 Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 (edited) That's the wurst thing I've ever seen. In fact, I think it's falafel. Edited June 8, 2004 by tomlaw90
bellowbelle Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Now, what a cilantro this must be, to someone new to C-Net.
Chris Timson Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Do you have the abc's to "Begin the Aubergine"? Thank you, Jim, for fulfilling the trust I placed in you Chris
