Subject: Bobness

Written By: YWN on 05/27/05 at 7:05 pm

We are all familiar with the concept of blahness - instituted by DAK, original king of blah.  But it reminded me of something I created some time ago, perhaps a year.  It was called bobness.

You see, we all have a Bob quality, in contrast to blahness in which some people are blah, some people are meh, some people are pfffft and so forth.  Everyone is Bob deep down inside EXCEPT for those who actually use the name "Bob", who have more of a George quality.  Bobness is something that cannot be explained, except that everyone whose name is not Bob has it. 

I have often thought of organizing a revolution so that everybody with Boblike qualities would be named Bob and that everyone with Georgelike qualities aka the BINO's (Bob In Name Only) would be named George.  Of course, then all the people named Bob would receive bobness after being named George and vice versa.  So it is very complicated and we are still searching for solutions.

New to this message board anyway.  I don't know when you founded blahness, but I came up with bobness I guess in mid 2004.

That is not for the commoners to know.  Georgeness is even more complicated and eerie than bobness, which is why I only mentioned it briefly.

You tread on dangerous ice when you take such an ultimately serious thing as georgeness, let alone bobness, seriously.  I refuse to discuss georgeness with anyone.  One reason is because I really have no idea what it is.

That is also not something for you to know.  But, it should be comforting to know that I am in somewhere in a neighboring cluster.  You Virgonians...  Hahaha.  The guys from the Milky Way are kind of boring though.  :(

I'll have you know that some of my best friends are Virgonians.  Most of them afraid to tell me what planet they're from, and one of them won't even tell me what galaxy he belongs to.  Seems like they know me well enough, eh?  I'm pretty sure that one is from the Local Group though.  Everybody in the Local Group has a funny accent, you know?  Well, it's been nice chatting to you, but I have a giant tub of sour cream and onion dip to jump into; You know how it is.

Both the above names have been used by wrestlers, lol.

'Gorgeous George' was a wrestler of the 50s - legendary apparently, 'Beautiful' Bobby was a wrestler of the 70s (UK - Bobby Barnes) and a wrestler of the 80s (US - Bobby Eaton) . . .

And now we have 'Ravashing' Robert. My tribute to the late 'Ravashing' Rick Rude who always wanted to tell us what he would like to have right now.  ;D

Well, C.NOIZE would like to inform YWN that YWN's friend Apricot has not been posting recently (and may not be for a while), and therefore will not likely be telling Bobby, ktelqueen, and Mare that YWN does not tolerate randomness, changing of subjects, or referring to oneself in the third person anytime soon.  And now that C.NOIZE comes to think of it, DAK hasn't been on for a while either.

;)

But anyway... bobness   georgeness. ::)

Well, his last post reads "Flair Enuff. I'm heading up to bed soon myself anyway, I am rather tired."  So maybe he slept in . . . for 6 days.  ???
