Subject: RE: BS: For sale, Sir jOhn's computer keyboard From: George Papavgeris Date: 08 Feb 05 - 07:22 AM jOhn9s keyboard belongs in some sort of Mudcat Hall Of Fame; think of the pleasure it has given us over the years! It should be preserved for future generations to gawk at in awe and kneel before. We should build a tabernacle for it, and pilgrimage organised from all over the world every February (the pilgrims being thereafter allowed to use the prefix "9" before their name - as in "Joe 9-Bloggs"). Shavings off the back (so it doesn't show) should be fashioned into plectrums which will be imbued with jOhn9s power and therefore introduce spurious notes into every riff played with them. I'll give you a penny for it. |

Subject: RE: BS: For sale, Sir jOhn's computer keyboard From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 09 Feb 05 - 12:30 AM Bear in mind that it is unique mainly because of the extraordinarily wide range of exotic organic materials it contains. It is unlikely that it would get through Customs in most countries; certainly not in the US, where far more innocuous items have been isolated and incinerated or blown up on the airport tarmac for the Public Good. It might be possible to import it as a medical specimen, if hermetically sealed and clearly marked "bio hazard", but there'd be no end of paperwork. |
Subject: RE: BS: For sale, Sir jOhn's computer keyboard From: Davetnova Date: 09 Feb 05 - 04:22 AM All right five and thrupence ha'penny and a lucky fairies foot. Don't take the goblin J0h9, gobblins not good for you. It makes your eyes go funny and you can't see what you're typing. |

Subject: RE: BS: For sale, Sir jOhn's computer keyboard From: Davetnova Date: 11 Feb 05 - 04:17 AM but if my keyboard could do 9's at totally random unpredictable places I wouldn't need JOhn9s |
