Description
So I have this great photo of as a high school student, earnestly playing the double bass, and I'd been meaning to render it in colour pencils for the longest time. And what do I wind up doing instead?This.
I'll get around to the serious version someday, Nits. And I'm sorry for the pun. But that picture was just asking for it.[Oh, and just in case anybody's asking: Yes, Linda *was* the principal double bassist.

Always remember, "the louder the groan, the better the pun."

It's even better if they shower you with peanuts, and you really did it if everyone holds their noses and runs out into the parking lot screaming in agony.

I wish I knew who took the photo -- I'd like to give them credit for catching such a candid shot. I didn't want to pay for a professionally taken yearbook photo, so someone from the yearbook club took this and gave it to me free of charge.

You know, it's not everyone who can make a fun picture look this good. This painting is a joy to look at. I love her jeans too. Great work, Far!
You're horrible at titles unless you have an opportunity to use a pun. I get it, now.

GIMME BEADS!

Why would anything/anyone protest being played by Linnie?

Hmm. Good question. You might want to ask her about the bass viol she broke.
