The Life And Times Of JB

"I'm not an MC, I'm not a G, I mean I'm A to Z - and everything in between."

The song of the moment (December 14, 2007) is "Even If It Kills Me" by Motion City Soundtrack

The Internet, bringing people together ...

Call me Nelson, as this is my 111th post.

A bloke who goes by the name of The Captain posted on this here blog this morning. He commented on matters close to the heart. Not booze and beauties but ball sports. I'm still amazed at how The Life And Times Of JB is growing at an exponential rate and is being beamed to the far reaches. To places like Geelong. Who knows how or why.

That wasn't a question, by the way, just merely an observance but it posed some serious issues: Is The Captain really a captain? Is he Captain Morgan in disguise? If so, ladies and gentlemen, we have royalty in our midst. I told The Captain that Captain Morgan's spiced rum is the best alcoholic drink this side of Jamaica. While on this topic, this beautiful beverage is now available at Dan Murphy's. I have bought four bottles in the last month.

One of my anonymous bloggers "outed" herself the other day. Turns out she actually knows Cousin JC and a work colleague of JB. The world is much smaller than you think. And we both like Death Cab For Cutie. How cool! Only eight days to go until the concert!

I went to the State Of Origin deciding match at Telstra Dome last night with the Paraletic Paramedic and his brother. I was discussing a possible moniker for the latter when PP replied: "He's trouble." Stay tuned for some pictures, including some of Trouble, hopefully later today.

    I like Death Cab For Cutie too, and we are listening to their CD right now.

    While I know nothing of spiced rum, I know plenty about ball sports and indie pop/rock! Death Cab peaked with the Photo Album. (This isn't going to effect me getting added to you links, is it?)

    The Captain,
    Your entitled to your opinion. It was shared by Rivjuando - long time reader/first time poster - for a while. That was until he heard Plans.
    The only things stopping you from getting added is the bad language and potentially defamatory material.
    ;-)

    "Bad Language and potentially defamatory material" - Can we use that on our book jacket?

    Hey, Captain. What (words deleted) are you doing here? Girl's Blouse for Cutie are terrible. Just terrible. At least, they are these days? Peaked at "We Have the Facts". 'Title Track' is Gold!

    sorry mr. watson, i had to delete your message. here is the edited transcript.

    Captain, by all means you can use it. Just change the word "potentially" to "almost certainly" and you should be right. Are you and Mrs Watson an item?

    The DA here (out of chambers) with my pants back on and a call to action.

    My learned associates, fellow empathisers, we have among our esteemed union of electronic-quills, members who wish only to be mortalised by their sardonic, spine tingling wit, but whose anonimity contriubtes less to the greater and nobler causes rendered to personalised info-tainment than does Bert's Family Fued (Awards of the State edition).

    I tender, for your considered appeal, that anonimity comes at a financial cost, to an agreed and independent beneficiary (legalese for JB you get to nominate a charity) to which a determined fee of money is portioned in return for john and jane does and typos. As a precedent - I draw your attention to 'You've Got Mail' when even Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan (whose anonimity seemed assured) were evetually ousted by that scruffy dog in the park and who finally, collectively turned their hands to the grater good of society.

    DA out.
