Yeah, that organetto looks very interesting. It looks very satisfactory too.

Now all this Robin Hood talk is making me want to watch Men In Tights.

Well, I was taking Koine Greek in college

For fun or profit? (or would that be prophet?) Very interesting. I have been self studying Hebrew for a couple of years. I really should break out the books and brush up on the little I know....

I was taking Koine Greek for my major (it was Christian Studies with an emphasis on Biblical languages, but now I'm a child development major.. go figure), but it was by far the funnest class I've ever taken. Challenging. Great class. I need to take some more Greek. I'll end up taking Hebrew sooner or later. Probably in Seminary

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for giving us an excuse to imagine Al wearing green tights.

Happy to be of service

Of course, Al doesn't play any stringed instruments (well, a piano has strings, but you know what I mean) and the accordion wasn't invented until 1820, but after doing a little hunting around, I think that the organetto would make a satisfactory substitute. It, like the accordion, has to be simultaneously pumped and played, but Al should have no trouble mastering that, and, besides, it looks very satisfactorily strange.

Good call! Definitely looks like something the Weird One would play.

Yeah I knew the accordion wasn't around in the Middle Ages but couldn't think of an Al-appropriate substitute.

Ooo, lemme think...

Well, I think it was in ninth grade when my friends drew a picture of an orc from Warcraft (if you don't know, don't worry) and apparently they wear horned helmets, like Vikings. Being me, I thought it was a Viking and started acting like a Viking person who wasn't too bright.

I don't know where the name Clyde came from though, but his real name is Clyde D. Viekyng. Really thought that out, right?

Over the course of high school the character has evolved in my brain until it has become this huge epician (is that a word?) idea where he lived in Greenland in the 1300s until he found a magic egg which contained a magic chicken that with the ability to time travel, but not at will. So Clyde and his brother (he's the not stupid one, and also have never thought of a name) end up travelling through time and inadvertly affect history.

The thing about it is all of the times they go are seriously screwed up. Like Nikola Tesla and his Eiffel Tower Death Ray, someone in the Donner Party is a werewolf, Beethoven can't play music except in his sleep, aliens are plotting to kidnap all the Mormons, and Hitler has a giant robot. It's really messed up.

It also needs to be a cartoon. :biggrin:

So no, it has nothing to do with Weird Al.
