08 Feb 05 - 07:22 AM (#1402373) Subject: RE: BS: For sale, Sir jOhn's computer keyboard From: George Papavgeris 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. |

09 Feb 05 - 12:30 AM (#1403364) Subject: RE: BS: For sale, Sir jOhn's computer keyboard From: Malcolm Douglas 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. |
