THERE'S A NEW KID* IN TOWN

 *'Kid' is being a bit generous as this old bugger could give Methuselah a run for his money - or a hobble anyway.

Johnny come lately

The new kid in town

Everybody loves you

So don't let them down

So who's the 'new kid?

Sorry to say - it's someone named Slurpy. I know, I know, it's a bit of a let-down but when I tell you his source you won't be surprised. Slurpy is one of Richard of the Bag (the blog site formerly known as Richard's Bass Bag)'s creations. See: HERE

Will he let us down?

You betcha. Just look at the poor performances of all those other alter-egos* he has.

* An alter ego can be thought of as a person's clone or second self. A professional alter ego might be a trusted aide who knows exactly what the boss wants done. A personal alter ego might be a close friend who is almost like a twin. Alter ego can also refer to the second, hidden side of one's own self.
