Hi Folks,
Smaller turnout last week but I'm viewing it as a triumph of quality over quantity. No criticism of those who didn't have a go, of course. Merely that I particularly grooved on what we did get.
And I have to be honest and say that I was at a loss this week. Usually I pick something that suggests certain themes. That seemed to go nowhere, with me completely uninspired. And then there's this picture! It suggests nothing to me at all. I have no idea what I (or indeed anyone else) will write.
See how we go...

Hey, Humpty Dumpty
What wall did you fall off of?
Hmmm, male or female?

Cool! And Brian, that was my laugh of the day. Bravo.

drugs, and every kind of sex

God. This is brilliant. Between Buff's genius connection to Mr Potatohead, Brian doubling me up yet again (what a cruel man!), and John's unfailing ability to find subtlety, I'm rapt.
And sorry Susana and Skye. Humpty Dumpty, and 'the brochure', are absolute crackers. Spoilt for choice this week!
They 'rebuilt me'? Ha...
...the six million dollar man!
Damn them all to hell...
Hey, that wasn't me. You have an imposter john to add to the confusion! I smell something fishy about the whole business.
First come, best dressed, John. He got in first and now that's you done out of a name. You'll just have to find another.
How about John II? Or John E. Come-Lately? Anyway it's a hard, hard world, and there's nothing for it. I blame your parents mate. Honestly, 'John'. What were they thinking of? Why did they not consider the possibility of the internet, blogs, haiku, and you coming in late and losing your name? No foresight obviously.
If only they'd named you Finbarr, or Spankington, or St John-Polevaulter. Never mind.
Hmm... I tell you what. From now on, there is original John in blue, and new John in grey.
"And you can't say fairer than that."

I.D. thefts rampant!
These are not my legs.
This is not my beautiful wig.
How did I get here?
And you ask yourself,
Well, am I John? Or John?
Twice in a lifetime...
Ha ha ha, sing along folks, ...water flowing underground...

Well, that haiku seemed like it COULDA been the "John of old," kinda metaphysical/alchemical-ish. SEEMS like a pretty good counterfeit...
The appropriate question, From MY current position on the identity Tilt-a-Whirl, is

B. Mir
C. Su
D. m-astera
Applying Nobodian Suss-out Theory, I have to go with:
E. Clown
Sorry Sherlock, it's not me. I'm too lazy to even come up with a haiku this week... so disguising myself as someone else would be way too much effort.
Ayah, my head is spinning.
I know it's mad, but the possibility exists that it was some fellow called John.
Onya Pen. Good stuff.

I ought to apologise to newcomers for not saying hello. Um, hello!
As you can see it's been um, 'messy' in here lately. Whilst there hasn't been much 'dressed in identical outfits' action going on, we seem to be in ever changing outfits. Or maybe not. It's hard to know frankly.
Hmm... I have an idea. I shall rewrite the introductory comment blurb thingy at the top. Oh oh! A rule!
just one more time, doc
i've seen it on the tv

so the new age gurus

but how do i breathe?
Hey Grey John - If I was to say that you were a 'florid' sort of fellow, what would you say?
What with all the recent confusion, I'm just trying to get a handle on newcomers that's a bit less ambiguous than four letters in a row, if you can dig it.
Susana -
Oh brave new world,
machines banish all labour.

"blink once to agree" ha ha!
I just suffered thru a movie about a guy who had a stroke that left him capable of just blinking one eye, who ended up "dictating" a book about it letter by letter, signalling an assistant which letter he wanted by blinking as she recited the alphabet over and over. Everyone could have been saved a lot of trouble if he had gotten into haiku.
Hey Brian, people told me that that was good movie. 'The Fish and The Jam-Jar', or something or other. Did you not care for it?

Hey Nobody, I tried twice to post things at church of nobody on your latest but they did not show up. On haiku of nobody, everything shows up. I think I had similar trouble on nina's blog and sometimes I see messages that other people have trouble at les visible's blogs. Anyway, I don't know what the obstruction is and it is frustrating. I don't know if my comments are taboo or if there is a software issue but I would like to know so as not to waste energy.
