WHAT'S IN A NAME?*

(It's) over at Richard's Bass Bag the latest news is that he's created a new character to help spread the Bass Bag Consortium's information. I would have thought one of these would have done the job:


The new guy in town is Richard Banjo Bingo Bongo Bango Bagno and he signs his name off as this:

Rick Tim Bagno

He looks like this ...


... and has created a blog with this heading:



Given that his name is already causing consternation and confusion in the blogging community I wonder if this guy, like the original Richard, should create some alter egos of his own.

Ric Tim Bongo



Ric Tim Banjo


Ric Tim Bango



Ric Tim Bingo


Hey! It's just a thought.













* Hugh Watt in 1972 was Deputy Prime minister and Minister of Labour. He might have (and no pun on his name in this case) have been anti-abortion for which the women at Victoria University gave him hell. I remember a Drama revue where I think about the only joke made (repeatedly) was people pretending to be deaf and saying "You What?" with images of Hugh Watt in the background. The women members of the cast kept running on stage naked shouting out "You what?" It wasn't even funny then but hey! It was 1972 and I was still 19 and hadn't seen naked women before then.

You What?

Yes, you're right, it was about as funny as those Wainuiomata 'Not', 'Dad' and toilet jokes.

Nice to know Bongo but we already have a plumber on-call. His name's Dave. We are also on this blog already infested with a Christian and find that quite enough thanks.
