Provocations
It will soon be Christmas and so everybody is in a filthy mood. We have decided, for example, to provoke war with Iran by sending in Chris de Burgh, a move specifically forbidden by the Geneva Convention. Meanwhile, Terry Eagleton says, 'I did not do this book about Jesus just to piss off Martin Amis.' Yeah, right. Creationists are planning a British theme part disproving evolution with the sole intention of melting Richard Dawkins. Fabulous Acapella says he wants to restore national pride to the worst football team in the world. This is a clear attempt to provoke Wayne Rooney, who won't even mime the national anthem. And, finally, Mervyn King is provoking Hal by asking him to do something constructive. Guys, guys, it's Christmas.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
If you do not want Rooney, there is a place more than happy to make use of his history. And 'De Burgh', lovely man, very sound, grandfather in the army, rank of general.
ReplyDeleteMy o my, what a wallop from well out of the area, and in Black.
ReplyDeleteOh Bryan. If ever one has seen a head, that deserves to be seen with Green rather than White, it's Rooney.
I didn't know everybody was in a filthy mood. I thought it was just me.
ReplyDeletei by contrast am in a spiffing mood. i have found an excellent way to maintain good cheer: to provoke other people into fits of rage and abuse. My blog got about 30 comments accusing me of being some kind of Hitler figure, because i said i find Caucasian girls attractive. With each comment-of-rage i became jollier and jollier till i could not contain my jollity and began, yes, to chuckle.
