Andrew Joker to the rescue.

 


Hi, Andrew Joker appearing here on Richard's Bass Bag.* Thank you to Richard (of RBB) for allowing me to use this forum. I was reading a post by Robert the apathetic sinner and toilet cleaner when I came across this quote.

"you might as well say " says Lewis "that a sheet of music which tells you to play one note on the piano,..is itself one of the notes on the keyboard". C.S.Lewis.

If there is at all any sense in this statement, here are a list of statements that would also be true:

  • A mechanic who tunes up your car is really part of the engine.
  • The man who sprinkles salt on your fish and chips is really part of the packet.
  • A woman who crosses a road is, in fact, part of the road.
Okay, I'm commenting here because Robert (tasatc) asked Richard (of RBB) to explain what he (Robert) was writing. 

"To be honest I do not understand this. Maybe Richard can explain it in a post?" said Robert.

All well and good but Richard (of RBB) is busy running a very successful bass bagging site and doesn't really have time to explain to Robert what he (Robert) is writing. The idea with a blog post is that you write down your own ideas and these ideas make sense. Maybe it doesn't help to quote plonkers like C. S. Lewis. I can only suggest to Robert that he asks me in future. I may or may not agree to help.

Thanks for that Andrew. Yes, I am pretty busy today.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

I know Robert will want to thank you too.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Peter could probably use some help with those gardening posts, though I realize that's a big ask.

All good, as long as Robert doesn't say he loves me.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Yes, well, thanks - I think.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

La mamma degli imbecilli e` sempre incinta.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Well, as long as she isn't wearing army boots.

Anonimo ha detto...

Ha, ha, Peter! That's really funny!

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Robert has been to the toilet and it has been funnier than that!

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

So, it didn't take long for your humour to become scatological.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

That's such a silly thing to say Robert, unless you're prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice and give your place in Heaven to me. That's what true love often requires.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

If that's what you sincerely meant, thanks. It'll be reasonably interesting to see Mr. Linford again.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

"Love means never having to say you're sorry"

- Erich Segal 'Love Story'.

That silly yet phenomenally popular phrase from a silly and phenomenally popular novel and film of the late 1960s early 1970s must drive Robert and his band of Catholic apologists nuts.

They want to say "I love you" to all and sundry and, being apologists they want to say "I'm sorry" so the circular logic in this phrase must make their heads explode.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Yes, 15 seconds of my life lost reading this post.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

I agree with you Robert.*










* Hell's bells! Did I just say that and, didn't get struck down (or up) by my god Satan?

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

What happened to the song?

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

I made some changes. It's still in the pipeline.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

So, blocked?
