Is Bebop good for you?

 

Good morning. Let me start by saying sorry for all the shit the Catholic church has thrown at people. Hey, I am a Catholic Apologist.

It's funny how people like different types of music. I don't think you'd ever hear Catholic church choirs singing Bluegrass, Rap or Bebop. I guess it's all about praising Angry Jesus and his mum and dad. The Holy Ghost seems to get less praise.

I wonder what sort of bird the 
Holy Ghost actually is?

It's funny how they changed his name to The Holy Spirit. That's sort of like renaming Gsus Bruce.

I wonder how many Catholics actually like Bebop? Personally, I would pick Haydn or Chopin as being more popular with them.

Chopin

Ha, ha, a good joke there!

Well, it's about time for Catholics to think about getting along to Mass. I hear that quite a few are making their own rosary beads these days to save money. Hey, that's not good for the church shop. They're there to make money, after all.

See you later and don't worry about all that sin nonsense.

Let the sin in!

 

Hey, firstly, I'm a Catholic Apologist and I'd just like to say sorry for all the abusive clergy the Catholic church has fostered.

I know you've all heard of the 10 Commandments. These are where your sins are supposed to have come from. "As God said to Moses, "Don't forget to take the tablets.""

"Sheesh!" Oops, I've just broken commandment number 2. Obviously, I blame The Curmudgeon for that!

Catholics get sin muddled up with morals. Sins were obviously created for the 10 commandments. Thanks to a silly story about Adam and Eve, we were evidently all born with Original Sin. How silly!

Hey, on a lighter note, I hear that Richard (of RBB) has added a 6th. original tune to his unaccompanied bass repertoire. It's called Swing In, Swing Out. That brings his unaccompanied tunes for violin and double bass up to 18. Wow! He'll be a busy boy practising those!

Well, that's it for today. 

Before I forget, happy first birthday to Henry Prowsey. See you this afternoon, Henry. xxx

Welcome to our new host!

 Well known Catholic Apologist 

EVIL DOCTOR RICHARD!

"Hey, sorry about the Catholic church!"

I'll be hosting this blog from now on so make sure you pop by on a regular basis.

I look forward to seeing you and keeping you informed.

LINK get together.

 Hi from Richard's Bass Bag 3.

We thought it could be good to get out five LINK members together for a 'welcome back' discussion.

We'll let Richard (of RBB) kick things off.

Richard (of RBB): Hi everyone and welcome to Akish The Philistine, RBB2, RBB3 and The Curmudgeon. It's really great to be able to get these five blogs all linking up.

The Curmudgeon: I have lots of links on my blog too. Lots of different Curmudgeons.

Richard (of RBB): Yeah, we won't get that lot involved, TC. Just count yourself lucky that you made it into the big five. Regular posts are all you have to worry about. Go easy on the tennis posts though. 

RBB2: I'm going to give you some very good tips to improve your double bass playing.

Akish The Philistine: Yawn. Do we really need to include three bloody bass playing blogs? 

The Curmudgeon: I was wondering about that too.

Richard (of RBB): Shut up, TC. That's just the way it is around here. Anyway, RBB3 might be taking over the religious commentary from that Catholic guy who buggered off.

RBB3: Yep, we can take care of that. I'm guessing that RBB will take care of the violin.

Richard (of RBB): Yep. We can probably all guess what Akish will be taking care of.

Akish The Philistine: Well, I will be helping to keep an eye on TC too. Bagpipes? No thanks. Hey, who is he going to play golf with now? Maybe he has a secret link to that Catholic guy?

The Curmudgeon: I haven't heard from Robert since he packed up and buggered off. I guess I'll just do lots of practice.

RBB3: Alright guys, we'll leave it there for today. Just keep those posts rolling out!

The Curmudgeon: I'm working on one at present. It's about replacing my garage door.

RBB2 [under his breath]: Shit.

Richard (of RBB): Okay, let's all try to remain positive. 

Akish The Philistine: What have I gotten myself into?

The Curmudgeon: I wonder if The Blue Guy would fit in around here?

RBB3: It's times like these that rosary beads could be handy.

RBB2: Shut up, RBB3!

Richard (of RBB): LINK team dismissed. I might need a coffee soon.

Okay, let's get this blog rolling along!

 

Rolling along!

There are plenty of blogs for you to read around here now, but Richard's Bass Bag 3 will take the cake!

ENJOY!

2024, here I am!

 Who needs The Curmudgeon, or whatever Rob's blog is called now?

BECAUSE

Richard's Bass Bag 3 IS BACK!

Now you can go between the three bass bagging sites - JUST LIKE IN THE OLD DAYS!

ENJOY!

Christmas shopping.

 Did you know that there are actually ten planets in our solar system?

I know, there aren't ten planets, I just that made up. To be honest, I don't care how many there are because my intention is to write about Christmas shopping. Anyway, there won't be anyone doing Christmas shopping on Mars or, for that matter, Your Anus Uranus. Let's move right along.

Our Christmas will be pretty small (5 people and 1 unborn) so really it'll just be like having a few people to lunch. Though, we do have four people coming around on boxing day too. Anyway, the first stop was at a money machine to get money out for kids. Then it was off to The Warehouse to pick up gifts for our little under $10 present game - you're supposed to buy one each.

I bought five because I thought I could make up a silly little game to keep people amused.*

I wrapped them all in the same paper, as you do, and decided to write Italian names on them so that I would know which is which.

Shelley guessed what 'diario' was when she saw it under our little tree which is made of plastic. I'm sure others will guess that one too and think that they must be fluent in Italian. Just like how TC keeps saying 'mea culpa' (thanks 3P), if they come across any Italians, they'll be able to say 'diario'. That should strike up a conversation - probably beginning with, "Cosa?"

I went to the supermarket and, among other things, bought quite a few bottles of Cleanskin wine.

I'll have to return to the supermarket a few more times. For example, I still haven't picked up ice cream. I guess it will be getting busier and busier. Ah well, I've got plenty of time.

I'll also squeeze in some serious bass practice.

Enjoy your day.

* Much like writing a blog post.
