"Well, that's boring!"

 A new show on Richard's Bass Bag* hosted by Evil Doctor Richard.


"Hello and welcome to Well, that's boring!, a new show on 'the bag' where we find the three most boring things out there and put them into third, second and first place. Firstly, let me apologize for all those Catholic priests and brothers who have interfered with children over the years. 
The format for the show is that we release our  winners starting with third place so let's get going. Good luck to all those boring people out there.

Third Place: 
Meet Clive. Clive works with computers and marketing and likes to tell stories and events in his life to his coworkers. The trouble is that his stories are long and are often in their second or third telling. Also, Clive is not a good listener and is happy to talk over other people.


Congratulations Clive!

Second Place:
The position of runner up actually goes to a cow.


Okay, being a cow in a paddock probably doesn't lead to the most exciting life but, even taking this into account, Sarah is a very boring cow. Notice how Sarah is standing all alone and looking for a passer by to talk to. Sarah is certainly one boring cow!

First Place:
First place was an easy choice and, to be honest, nothing else even came close. This guy is something else!

Peter runs a blog under the nom de plume The Curmudgeon. Okay, he has been boring in the past, but his latest post has taken him to new levels of boredom potential.
With clever boredom potential writing Peter  kicks off with a small paragraph about some brothers. Then he shows his ace card.


And on he goes...


And on and on and on...

This is boredom at its finest. Peter is a master on boredom and a very worthy winner of first place.
Congratulations and may you go on to bore people for many years to come!

A worthy champion of boredom!"

Thank you.
I've been trying, with these 'around the house' posts to reach a level of perfection where readers will actually fall asleep while reading them. I think I'm nearing that and this award will certainly inspire me to write more, and more and more of them.
Of course I couldn't have made it on my own so I wish to thank christians, catholics, catholic apologists, bass players, double bass players, drummers, bass drum drummers, IT people, accountants, CEOs, politicians, journalists, editors, editing journalists, schoolteachers, music teachers, grammar teachers, grammatical music teachers, fishermen, other bloggers, committee members, old people, old committee members, people sitting next to me on public transport, that guy at the tennis club, that other guy at the tennis club, fiddle players, guys who hang around music shops, ping pong players, chess players, draughts players, bridge players, bridge players who play chess and draughts, my uncle Norman, dentists, hairdressers, people named Dennis, Star Trek groupies, people who watch Marvel comic hero films, people who watch romcom films, birdwatchers, trainspotters, airplane spotters, boaties, data analysts, Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists, Evil Doctor Richard, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, newsreaders, DJs, radio hosts, insurance salesmen, - and many, many others.

Hey Richard, please pass on this to Evil Doctor Richard for me.

Thanks Evil Doctor Richard, your support is appreciated.
As you know, it's difficult for me to excel in this area - the WELL THAT'S BORING blogging post category, but I've put the hard yards in. You no doubt remember ....., no, you probably don't, but I wrote long posts on furniture, windows, door knobs, light switches, musical instruments - sorry, I haven't stooped that low yet - cleaning showers and toilets - in order to get noticed and to be in contention. I knew that it would be a battle, what with Richard being in the running and, 'wot wiv' Robert being the strongest contender and winner every year since the internet was created. Robert has a built-in advantage whereby spelling, correct grammar, common sense, logic and comprehensibility, all necessary for normal posting and requiring effort, aren't important in the WELL THAT'S BORING blogging category. This year, I abandoned most of the important disciplines and, basically, blitzed him.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

Too late for the 'WELL THAT'S BORING' blogging post category Robert but maybe Richard will invent a 'WELL THAT'S BORING comment on a blogging post' category.

If he does you've probably nailed it already.

Are you out buying a new car?

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

No. Got the old one fixed.

"No. Got the old one fixed."

Good. That's what The Curmudgeon's Agony Aunt suggested in her latest blog post.

That comment Robert challenges your previous comment for the Well That's Boring comment award.
