What's better? Bagpipe or Banjo?

MarvThePirate	Date: October 5, 2004 @ 10:49 PM Lend me thine ears, fellow forumfolk, so that I might settle a score long fought on the grounds of... time. Yes, that's it. No, I could really use the ears. Been having problems hearing lately.

cosmicearthgirl	Date: October 6, 2004 @ 10:54 PM Better for what? I prefer banjo for tearing the strings off and strangling people, but a bagpipe can kill without even taking it apart. So it really depends if you want to get the personal touch or not. It's also nicer for end of the world type music, while banjo is better I think for listening to while waiting in line at the DMV and weddings.
imemine	Date: October 6, 2004 @ 11:39 PM Banjos rule, bagpipes drool. Oh wait! --------- It was actually 97884. No, No, No------ 48879! Yeah, that’s it!!!! I like pudding. Pete likes pudding too but Dave likes cheese.

MarvThePirate	Date: October 8, 2004 @ 5:16 PM Aye, it's a hard scale to tip one way or the other. And while beating someone to death with a banjo would be highly humorous and enjoyable, I could send many to Davey Jone's Locker with a pair of banjos. KUNG-FU STYLE!

JFF	Date: October 15, 2004 @ 10:08 AM Bagpipes are the muts nuts I also have a soft spot for the accordian
StuBu	Date: October 15, 2004 @ 10:50 AM Both are ok. But, I'd go for cheddar than listening to either instrument. Mmmmmm...
sqrlcub	Date: October 15, 2004 @ 12:59 PM My dream band would feature, banjo, accordian (Miles and Karina play spy music with just those two), bagpipes, and a yodeler for good measure.
sinai	Date: October 17, 2004 @ 1:17 AM you just can't fuck with a set of pipes man, any instrument couldn't touch a set of well played pipes
MarvThePirate	Date: October 18, 2004 @ 1:50 PM AYE, fine choices all around. A band should have about 3 or 4 bagpipes. Other than the bagpipe section, you need a good accordian player and a lead and base banjo (So what if there's no such thing; somebody needs to make one). Hmmm. I'd be open to suggestions for further musical accompaniment.

DaveWL	Date: October 21, 2004 @ 8:20 AM I'd have to split that bag pipe section in to alto, tenor and baritone pipes. Then maybe a Australian didgerydoo and a Mongolian Nose flute (less hygenic than the banjo but more hygenic than the Sri Lankian arse Sitar).
MarvThePirate	Date: October 22, 2004 @ 5:29 PM I'll go with that digeridoo; we need a woodwind section anyway. No comment on the alternative orfice instruments.
sqrlcub	Date: October 22, 2004 @ 5:53 PM LOL you can have Le Petomane "sing the lead" http://www.moulinrouge.fr/html_fr/frame_centre/historic/cancan_5.htm In case you can't read it, he did imitations and "whistled" songs with his farts in France.
DaveWL	Date: October 23, 2004 @ 7:25 PM Ellis, I'm a bit scared to click on that link. I think I'll take your word for it. Some people's talent has no end. In this case the talent is displayed coming out the wrong end. some one who is literally talking out their arse.
MarvThePirate	Date: October 25, 2004 @ 1:22 PM maybe he could be our backup
