"OK" you might be saying "It's a bit rich you saying that you are in search of truth when you're always quoting Mark Twain who said 'never let the truth get in the way of a good story' and you have this on your home page":
All right - busted - but this post isn't about me (often it 'is about me') it's about another blog which purports to be 'original' and informative but IT'S FULL OF LIES! Sorry about the caps there but I'm worked up.
You no doubt guessed that the blog I refer to is Richard's Bass Bag (don't ask) which is a minor blog in this community that takes high-handed stances on issues like grammar, pronunciation, fingering techniques (not what you think thankfully) and religion.
There are a couple of things on the Home Page of this blog that I want to draw to your attention. These are misleading and can be dangerous for 'young players'.
First the blog contains this statement which purportedly is a rolling tally of readership of the blog:
As of accessing this morning the readership counter reads 488,246. THIS IS A LIE. The blog may well have started back in the early 2000s and, if it had been published continually might well have reached this number especially as the blog writer accesses his own blog hundreds of times a day and writes his own comments (don't ask). The blog has not been published continuously and has been cancelled at least twice (maybe three times) before with all posts deleted. The counter has not taken notice of this and, like the odometer on his car (allegedly) has been doctored by Richard himself. Shocking!
The second misrepresentation is in this cartoon on the Home Page:
This suggests to 'young players' that Jesus was a carpenter when, irrefutable proof has come to light that Jesus and his bogus dad Joseph were in fact stonemasons (sources - Robert the inconvenient sinner and squeezer of pimples, Trent Horn and Sister Mary Ima Kitupasigoalong from Cambodia).
So there!

Sorry, I don't speak Hungarian.
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Sorry, I was laughing at something else.
Be careful of standing in front of a mirror when you step out of the shower.

Cazzo.
No, spoon.
Hell?
