In an earlier post we investigated the possibility that Richard (of RBB) was a MPD sufferer. This may be so or, it may be that he is a very clever manipulator of people. If he was a true MPD sufferer he would be in continual dialogue and conflict with his other personalities or Dicks as we called them. Most of these Dicks have been very quiet recently almost to the point of being extinct. I won’t rule them out entirely however as sometimes these can remain dormant for quite a while awaiting some stressful event to trigger them into coming ‘alive’ again.
What is of concern is a recent exploitive use of an innocent animal to further his needs. This animal, Fluffy, appeared after apparently having been kidnapped from its usual place of residence, encaged and brought to live with Richard (of RBB). This cat was subjected to random acts of cruelty (made to pose in front of cameras, made to defecate indoors, had coffee poured on it etc.) and then, inexplicably disappeared. Richard (of RBB) has demonstrated classic psychopathic behavior by not only showing no remorse for this disappearance but by openly not acknowledging it at all. It is as if the animal had served its usefulness and then was simply disposable.
The ‘family’ as we will call it has a disturbing number of young women in it and work associates.
The women of course could have been recruited as bait but over time Richard (of RBB) seems to have worked his magic on them. They started out as innocents, tentatively feeling their way through cyberspace in a charmingly naive fashion. They have, over time and under Richard (of RBB)’s prompting, become worldlier to the point of vulgarity, licentiousness and dare I say, madness.
The workmates are another story. Whilst not strictly innocents they seem to have been recruited to both give credibility to the ‘family’ and possibly to provide cover as well. I suspect that these ‘lieutenants’ will be the fall guys if trouble brews and we may see some unexplained disappearances (remember Fluffy?).
Last but not least Richard (of RBB) is cynically exploiting his real family members. Second (an interesting name suggesting prior subjugation) is kept ‘waiting in the wings’ and being ridiculed and rewarded in turn. This ‘good cop, bad cop’ routine seems to work as Second hangs in there (although through obvious self loathing and disgust regularly deletes his posts).
So. How does he get away with this? He uses a simple but effective mechanism to disguise his insidious plan. He dresses his blog and his community up as a musical blog forum. This is clever as it is seemingly innocuous but his real stroke of brilliance is that he has chosen the double bass as the instrument of choice. Why has he done this? Why didn’t he choose a popular instrument or indeed any other instrument? The reason is simple. If he had chosen any other instrument then this could have brought unwanted investigation by the casual Internet surfer. No, he chose the double bass because of the extreme unlikelihood of anyone ‘Googling’ double bass or, if they did inadvertently stumble across his blog would see at first banal references to this arcane instrument coupled with the most mind numbingly boring pictures of a double bass player. As further ‘cover’ he has chosen to call the blog Richard’s Bass Bag not Richard’s Bass. This is very telling and will benefit from further investigation and analysis in the future.
What lies in the future? I’m not sure but will keep a watchful eye on developments. Alerts will be if Richard (of RBB) was to purchase a VW Kombi van, take up Scientology or begin to play his gramophone recordings backwards.

Okay, so who needs a job to help fill in their day?
I wonder if Lyn is aware of the amount of blogging you're getting done?
Perhaps it's time to give Lyn a call?
Perhaps she needs to know why the toilet is cleaned so hastily and then, when the shit hits the fan (so to speak), it's blamed on the old 'this is how men clean toilets' lame excuse.
I wonder if it is healthy for a man in his late fifties (TSB is obviously a special case because he's a computer teacher) to be spending so much time blogging?
Oh, well, maybe Lyn will know what to do.
Interesting post. Almost as interesting (and long) as that of The Wine Guy.
I agree with Richelle (of RBB) that you lot have too much time on your hands.
However, to address the content of your post.
Richelle (of RBB) is neither Evil or Misguided, simply stressed to the point that escape into multiple personalities is a pleasant option. The cat affair is simply the cross-dressing and feminine side of his alternate personality coming to the fore, (Old ladies like cats). He/she is popular at work, and I don't believe that he is a manipulator, it is just that we all feel sorry for him, doing his best in this remote wilderness of Nuova Lazio, trying to inculcate a little culture into the natives, armed only with a miniscule budget, 31 kazoos, 2 tin whistles, a triangle without the suspension ring,3 keyboards of questionable origin and functionality, 2 violins which cam free with 5 tins of dog food, and 128 double basses. (Most of the double basses sit in the storage dungeon, and we're really to fascinated/scared to ask him why?)
Thanks for that final warning.
If Richard/Richelle starts expressing interest in engrams, e-meters or thetans, we will report it immediately.
Comments should not be longer than the post.
Ok..
1. I think we can dismiss the MPD bit as I've already said , based on listening to the National Radio Program, psychology does not label people anymore or put them in boxes (back flats maybe , but that's another issue).
2. We also have prove that Fluffy is alive. (latest photo with eyes open and pupils dilated).
3. How Richard attracks women at his late stage of life is explained by them wanting a father figure. Seriously they are all a bit strange..
4. Curmudgen misses the truth when he describes Richard's cynical exploitation of the pathetic Second. Second has for years been exploiting Richard's generosity for his own gain.
5. Why would anyone try to hide behind the Double Bass when every one has heard of the famous Giovani Bottessini?
"How Richard attracks women at his late stage of life is explained by them wanting a father figure. Seriously they are all a bit strange.."
How true. He is obviously a Grandfather-figure.
You are both wrong. He's more like a comfy-armchair figure.
"You are both wrong. He's more like a comfy-armchair figure."
We all know this is you Peter!
