I'd decided to sell things off so that our house in Kaitaia was ready for sale. I'd been told, by a friend who lives and blogs in Moera, that it wasn't always essential to wear underpants there. I decided to sell my best pairs on Trade Me. I had decided to keep the ones that were showing too much 'wear and tear'.
I had an offer and was very pleased!
Later I found out that this buyer actually lived in Tonga and the freight would be $40.
Well, a deal's a deal.
Anyway, I still had the chessboard to sell.
It was a really good board that I had bought for $200. Maybe I could sell it for a bit more, to cover the underpants?
The name of my friend in Moera is Robot. He is a Presbyterian who loves AI. He suggested that I keep the chessboard in the lounge while I was selling the house. Robot said that it would make me look intelligent.
In my youth I had attended St. Patrick's College in Wellington (this was in 1964) and I had only made it into 3M (the third best out of four classes). In my youth I imagined being Bobby Fischer, but I turned out to be a very average chess player. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to milk the board a bit and then let it go.
Robert wrote an AI assisted message on my blog to say that he agreed. He finished off by saying that he quite liked me - I've had better compliments from Catholic acquaintances.

I wonder if Bobby Fischer is still alive and looking for a holiday home in Kaitaia?

OK Betty.
Old Misery Guts goes by the name of P.Eater. He asked if he could write his stuff on my blog. I thought it was more interesting than all that religious nonsense we get.

I haven't used AI for months.
We're not talking about you, Robert the sinner. This is a completely different set of people, though Moera is mentioned in their adventures. A guy named P.Eater is writing this stuff on my blog. Evidently he grew up on a pumpkin farm. As a youngster his diet contained a lot of pumpkin. He is planning to move to Moera and has sold his best underpants because a Presbyterian friend of his told him that men's underpants were not essential in Moera. Hey, he is a Presbyterian. You've cleaned their churches, do you see lots of men's underpants laying around? This guy's name is Robot. Maybe you've met him when you're cleaning?

That's a brave admission Robert. Allan, sorry Al, might be upset.

Mmm - this is making the case for me coming down to Wellington to raise the level of wit down there.
Thank you so much!
