Is the word "babe" banned from EN World?

Oh, good gravy. I'm becoming sorry I ever opened my mouth. No, I'm not protesting too much. Really, really don't care if the thread stayed open. I just had to get my objection off my chest. Next time I'll just rave in the silence of my own head, and build grey hairs.

And oboes are indeed the coolest of the wind instruments. Especially period oboes, or oboes di gamba. They sound like melodic ducks. Unlike the clarinet, my least favorite of the woodwinds, which sound like a sugared-up toddler on a whining jag. Once again, DD, your taste is excellent.

I think there's something about the Y chromosome that causes the brane to put (spoiler) tags around the word

Their faces tend to turn striking shades of red. Oboe players tend (to me) to be among the most attractive instrumentalists.

Yeech... What's attractive about red-faced, back-pressured, short-lived oboists?

I'm getting something off my chest right now, IYKWIM.

PC and I have been watching the latest installment of the A&E Hornblower dramitizations, and everytime he's ordered to go to the French city of Brest, we giggle. Hornblower in Brest? I just met her!

Sheesh. It took me about 10 seconds to get the joke. Sigh.

At least, it shows that Int check to get a joke can be rerolled, since that's 2 rounds.

It should be an oboe for that song. Oboe players are a lot of fun to watch. Their necks double in size when they're creating the air column they need to make them not sound like wounded ducks. In addition, they need huge breaths for the air column, but use very little for the actual playing (when compared with other instruments) so their faces tend to turn striking shades of red. Oboe players tend (to me) to be among the most attractive instrumentalists (after French hornists, of course ). Unfortunately, there seems to be a backpressure problem caused from creating the column of air, and oboists tend to be the shortest-lived of the wind instrumentalists.

Is that true? I should give up the oboe then. I played it for a bit in community band where I used to live. Damn near passed out during a summer concert on the thing. Egads, that's a hard instrument to play. I'll stick with the clarinet. Seems much safer.

Goddammit, must I do everything around here?

Egads, that's a hard instrument to blow.

That's better.

Now onto the song, ready Kris?

Him:They say we're young and we don't know,We won't find out until we grow.
Her:Of course I don't know if all that's true 'Cause you've got me, and baby I've got you.
Both:Babe,I've got you, babe,I've got you, babe.

I was wondering how long it would be before we had a Sonny and Cher reference come up in this thread. The appearance is actually a day later than I thought it would be.

Nice to hear the song that came to mind the minute I read the "debate" over this word.

And for people who get offended at Silver Moon posting this song, may you be forced to live out the same day over and over again where you wake up hearing this song.
