NOEL WAS NAKED!*

No doubt the post headline got your attention.

Sensationalist newspapers have been using those for years like:

And:

And the famous The Sun's Falkland war headline:

Well Richard employs these as well to try to draw in readers to his blog. His latest is this:

Yes, well, obviously that one didn't work and I can't imagine anyone being drawn in by it.

* The heading of this post was actually used by Richard in a post over 20 years ago.

This was before he started blogging and invented Richard's Bass Bag. Back then he was using real post and started sending me bizarre letters one of which was titled NOEL WAS NAKED!

"OK", you might ask, "What's wrong with that?". Well, I'll tell you. Richard back in the day when using the real post - aka NZ Post didn't use envelopes to enclose his missives like a normal person would. No, he would just write his nonsense on a big piece of paper and fold it several times before addressing one side and attaching a stamp. The trouble of course was that a lot of his ravings were on display on the other side of the folded paper for the postman and anyone else interested to see. I don't know what they thought but it wouldn't have been good.

Thank Robert's god that he discovered the internet and blogging so that his posts can now languish in secrecy and obscurity.
