Talk:Nimrod

Should there be a reference to this? Anna Livia (talk) 17:15, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Why, though? ikanreed ^{🐐Bleat at me} 17:19, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

As a 'Were you looking for...?' comment. Anna Livia (talk) 17:36, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

But that's just an obscure piece of classical music literally named for this Nimrod. The joke is pretty weak. Isn't it? ikanreed ^{🐐Bleat at me} 17:37, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

But it is also a weak claim to the intellectual credentials of at least some RW-ians. Anna Livia (talk) 17:40, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

But it's not in my classical music list, so obviously ikanreed ^{🐐Bleat at me} 18:56, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

My understanding is that the 'Nimrod' of the Elgar piece was his publisher, a German named 'Jaeger', that also being the German for 'hunter' and the patron Norse god of Jaegermeister shots. I may try to think up some kind of a pun based on all of this. Smerdis of Tlön, wekʷōm teḱs. 19:29, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

The obscurity or fame of 'pieces of creativity' can be due to geographical location and other factors. Anna Livia (talk) 19:33, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

If not Elgar then how about this then? Scream!! (talk) 21:52, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

There is a case for mentioning 'other usages that are not relevant to RW' - which was the point I was making. Anna Livia (talk) 23:55, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
