An Axoloti Joke I Just Made Up


#1

Mr.Geek bought an Axoloti.

He decided he didn't need the MIDI section, and carefully cut it off.
Mr.Geek woke the next morning only to find his Axoloti had grown a whole new MIDI section :open_mouth:

Yeah I know, it's one of those jokes where you either totally get it, or you totally don't :laughing:


#2

Mine didn't grow a new one. Which is just as well, because then it wouldn't fit on my Euxoloti.

Musician jokes and their fun factor:

Bass guitarist and lead guitarist together jumping out a window of a tall building. As they fall to their death the lead guitarist says: "finally we are doing something at the same time!"

please no sexist jokes... they may appear innocent, but don't promote an inclusive atmosphere.


#8

Knew it AAAHH, my bad.. :worried:

What did the Axoloti midi input say to the Axoloti midi output,
I feel a little isolated.. ! :sob:


#11

Well, this one pretty much sums up my life lately, hehe :slight_smile:


#16

What did the piece of cardboard say to the axoloti ?
Who's your daddy !! :rofl:


#17

OK, that was funny, but just so you know, I'm well aware you was taking the piss out of those cardboard turntable demonstrations again :grin:

Understandably, I seek revenge for such humour, and here it is ...

Q: What did Digital say to Analogue?
A: Hello Daddy!!!

:rofl:

Apparently it's a true story that, when Beethoven himself claimed to be the best composer of this universe, he was asked: "but what about Bach?"

"He's from a different universe.", he replied.


#19

Sounds like Beethoven really loved himself then!
Pretty damn good though, wasn't he :yum:

Sounds like he had a good sense of humour as well :sunglasses:

Alright peeps, I really don't know how to put this to you but I'm about to reveal a brand new joke!
Yup, I have made a brand new joke especially for you audio and math guys ... ready?

Ok, brace yourselves ... here we go ...

Q: What's a Serial Killer's favourite measurement of Frequency?
A: KillerHurtz !

:rofl:

freedom of speech is important, but that does not mean it cannot be abused... and when its being used to marginalise/oppress others, that's an abuse.

bringing it back to the forum, and posting... its pretty simple though (as I see it...)

its not about if you, or I, think something is funny or not...

the question to ask yourself when posting is:
might this post, offend, intimidate or make someone feel unwelcome - which consequently might lead to them not posting, asking for help, entering discussion in the future ...
if it might, then don't post it.
remember, often when users see 'unacceptable posts', they wont retort/argue, they simply will just not visit the forum again - we don't want this.

(Jokes are fun, but they are also socially used to reinforce groups structures/dynamics, to be in a group, or outside... humour is used to mask the unacceptable)

so sure, I'm suggesting curtailing some users 'right' to make sexist/racists jokes/comments is a sacrifice worth making, if it might make other users feel more comfortable.
Id suggest its a bit of a leap, to claim the Axoloti forum is the last bastion of freedom of speech.

I certainly do not want to be a part of a community that allows some members to marginalise others. I want an open / inviting / inclusive community... and as a moderator, I believe this is what @Johannes also wants.

that said, its not my forum, it belongs to @Johannes , so he sets the rules, so if you disagree with my moderation take it up with him - and he will talk to me if necessary.

EDIT, also everyone please keep this civil, no name calling... that is also unacceptable here.

EDIT: edited to remove issues with context, due to post deletions.

Back to why we're here - what do you get if you drop a synth down a mineshaft? A flat minor (or should that be miner?)


#43

Accordion to research, 9 out of 10 people don't notice when you replace words with random musical instruments.


#44

Gotta be the best joke so far. Or should I say, guitar be the best joke so far


#46

I "aggressively" deleted quite some posts.
Good jokes can be made without offending anyone.

For discussing true free speech, human rights, politics, etc, please find a more appropriate forum or start your own.


#47

still the best joke, and at least its not sax-ist.

Or oboe-phobic

Or bass-ist


#49

I've been puzzling over axoman's original joke since he posted it. I've just Googled 'axoloti' (the animal, not the synth) and I finally get it.

"The feature of the salamander that attracts most attention is its healing ability: the axolotl does not heal by scarring and is capable of the regeneration of entire lost appendages in a period of months, and, in certain cases, more vital structures."

Good one - although it doesn't sound as though it could grow a whole new midi section overnight.


#50

It's actually an Axolotl you refer to, not an Axoloti, but yup, you got it.

Unfortunately, most people aren't aware of the Axolotl's abilities, and Mr.Geek was eventually locked-up in an asylum with padded walls cause no one believed him!


#51

Axolotis are quite common pets in Japan. I remember seeing one in a hotel lounge in Tokyo. It was in a rather small tank, was probably bored out of its tiny amphibian brain.

Perhaps @johannes would like to comment on why he chose that name... and why it's spelt wrong :wink:
