Esteemed Curmudge:

I'm finally going to attack a few of my Ricks and am going to get some new diapers (we call them "nappies" here). I'm assuming that the cotton 'terry towelling' ones are better than the flannelette - correct?

Also, would it be best to wash them before use?

Thank you in anticipation, oh great one......

Your Esteemed Curmudgeon has asked me to answer on his behalf, as he is out shopping. I looked into his Diaper Annexe and only found "flannelette" diapers in residence there--stacks and stacks of them. You would not believe it! I had to force the door open! And then I was nearly smothered in the cottony avalanche!

Seriously, the man has a fetish of some sort--you won't tell him I revealed this, will you? He always has this funny bulge around his (shall we say) "bottom" when he leaves the house, and now he's off buying some more "bulge packing material" as I have heard him refer to it, in moments of indiscretion.

He regrets that he cannot share any more information with you at this time.

Paul your Loyal Laundress and Occasional Computer Repair Person should respond more on your behalf.

Sir Medway:

I cannot. He keeps me chained to the barbecue most days.

At least it keeps me warm on those cold Mill Valley nights.

Occasionally the pork fumes overcome me and I find myself baying at the moon...

Oops. I hear His Saab in the driveway. Must go!

Thanking you for your concern, I remain

Vry Faithfully Yrs,

ROTFLOL!!!!

Oops... now i think i understand how mr Wilczynski reached 6500+ posts in little more than a year...

Good washerwoman:

Thank you for your observations, if not assistance. I trust that Lord Curmudgeon has not become suspect of your activities in this place. I would not have it that I was the cause of some public pillorage let alone summary dismissal.

I say this because..... how is it that one moment you say he has asked you to respond to my enquiry yet at the next you are fearful of his return to the ancestral castle? Are you having games with us? I suspect that you have crept into his secret laboratory and discovered that he has left his iMace in the "on" position and you have had your way with it.

How is it also that you have gleaned his password, may I ask? Perhaps an uncontrollable gasp of pleasure whilst satisfying his undeniable urges during the night?

This is a weird thread people. And yet I find myself consumed by its almost charming assault on my senses.

Have a few glasses of wine also been consumed in California this night?

Oh yeah... i'll probably be away from the place for some time, so if in next few days you'll read new comments under my name with even more mistakes than usually, that's not me, that's my 8-years-old...
My question is, however: are nappies good as a package material for shipping guitars? Or do old Sex Pistols t-shirts & sweaters fit better?

Curmudge here, and I must say I'm not pleased with this state of affairs. I use diapers for polishing only. Honest.

The Laundress calls herself a computer repair person, when, in fact, she is a hacker, plain and simple. I've now changed all my passwords.

And my diapers.

Sheena, the softer the cloth, the better. I'd only use Sex Pistols stuff to pack Les Pauls. Got any Jam or Church?

"Got any Jam or Church?"

How about "The Knack"?
I've got a couple of originals of those T's.

I've been getting a lot of mileage out of regular guitar polish cloths though I think I really need to wash them one of these years.

Hmmm... our neighbours' daughter has a couple with Britney Spears - will they fit?

Ummmm.... don't you think a Ric would look kind of funny wearing a Britney Spears T-shirt?

Would be a little hard to play....

Ehem... did i say i want my RIC to wear it?! No, no way... that'd be for my ex's "Hello kitty"...
But i'm thinking of getting a Mark Knopfler T-shirt for my RIC... so that it could play by itself without my discourage...
