The Sibling Below Me...

[Pachyderm]

Why is there only one Monopolies Commission?

TSBM will pontificate further.

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

Indeed. 

I noticed the other day, on a government office:

Bureau of Redundancy Bureau

The sibling below me will make note of other government offices...

[pieces o nine]

I already have. My notes cannot be printed here.



TSBM prefers cursive...

[Swatopluk]

I'd do cuneiform but the available font lacks certain letters the Persians* seemed to have done without.

The sibling below me speaks in tongues

*they reformed cuneiform making it alphabetic

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Oehfnbsdf odfune tonefsretu.


Happy?


TSBM owns two dozens corks and a lift kit.

[Swatopluk]

Two brazen dorks and a lifting? You have to type louder or I won't get it 
True cork 'corks' have become increasingly rare. Most are now artificial or replaced by plastic.

The sibling below me wants to join a brass band

[Pachyderm]

Yes, I heard that playing in a brass band renders one immune to lurgi.

TSBM can explain the last sentence.

[Swatopluk]

I actually meant joining brass band as going into cheap jewelry
lurgi is a corporation and those can be rarely repelled by brass (but possibly bought for gold)

The sibling below me will define metal-urgy

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

Metal-urgy:  a deep desire to possess shiny substances.

Or else an extreme fascination for death-cult music.

The sibling below me likes pie 

[Swatopluk]

Of course

The sibling below me waves the tragic wand

[Opsa]

That's some catchy song there, Swato.

Yes, I do wave the tragic wand, sometimes. But I prefer the joystick!

The Sibling below me can think of a joyful thing today.

[Swatopluk]

Only think, no orgy in sight 

The sibling below me thought about a more decent joyful thing

[Griffin NoName]

Pensioners will get another fiver a week. That Chancellor is such a Darling. Is that joyful?

TsBM wants Obama to name his US Treasury something other than "team" which is what the BBC have just said he has done.

[Opsa]

Oh yes, I hope he will name it something more soothing, like "knitting circle"!

The Sibling Below Me thinks that the War Bureau should have a more soothing name, as well.

[The Meromorph]

Compartment of Amiability, perhaps?

The Sibling below me want to get back on the subject of the dreaded lurgy, and discuss meta-lurgy
