- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

The Official 'Why I'm Thankful for Chiff and Fipple' thread
End of the year. Time to take stock.
1. The opening of my eyes to all sorts of new music.
2. The hanging out with so many different people from all over the world.
3. The fact that there is almost always someone who knows something about something we need help with (eg. geek oracles)
4. I can discuss whistle minutiae and no one will roll his eyes.
Feel free to add to the list.

Slude, I've been trying to smack you for months, but it's doing my iBook no good at all and I'm trying to restrain myself.jsluder wrote:I'm thankful for C&F because:
I can make really awful puns without getting smacked upside the head. (Unlike at home, where my wife thinks the only good pun is a dead punstrel.)

I'm thankful for the many virtual "friends" I've made here - and the ones I've had the pleasure of meeting in person.
I'm thankful for all the information I've found out by reading threads on this site. I especially enjoy learning about those in other countries.
I'm thankful for Dale putting up with all of us.

For me it's all about the people.The diversity of opinions, backgrounds, beliefs and musical tastes.
The humility and politeness rarely found on message boards.
The depth of knowledge openly shared without seeking anything in return.
But again, above all else, it is the people.

I love how Carol praises by example.cskinner wrote:I like all the extra, goofy stuff, especially the humor.
... Oh, and the beat. You can dance to it.
I am glad that this is a place where a smart ass like me can be serious
about something, and then be incredibly silly about other things. I mean,
I'd hate to have to go to two places for that... why the gas cost, alone...

I am thankful for Chiff and Fipple because:
1. It gives me a good reason to avoid work that I should be doing.
2. It constantly reminds me that there are a lot of people who are smarter and more knowledgeable than I am.
3. It also reminds me that there are many people who are genuinely considerate and helpful.
4. I can sit in my easy chair and feel very much connected to interesting people around the world. In contrast to TV, which isn't inteactive, if you say something stupid on the C & F pub, someone is going to set you straight real soon.
5. I enjoy the evolution of long threads that seem to have a life of their own. Who knows what direction they may take and where they will finally end up.

I am thankfull to C&F for
Pointing me to music / resources that I wouldn't have found otherwise.
Giving me many a good laugh - especially the political forum.
And most of all the ananchic band of idiots (myself included) that inhabit this part of cyberspace.
merry Christmas and Happy New year all.

- Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.
That is why my wife HATES C&F!!!Doug_Tipple wrote:I am thankful for Chiff and Fipple because:

This place has given me a place to spend THOUSANDS of hard "earned" California equity dollars.

Reminds me of when I was in 7th grade and they started dividing us into tracks, and I suddenly realized, a bit to my dismay, that I wasn't nearly as smart as I thought I was.Doug_Tipple wrote:2.

Here, on C&F, there is no chance of my slipping back into that lazy conceit.
