Clueless answers.
Published July 23, 2004
Ever ask someone a normal everyday question, and they answer by telling you that they don't have a clue? Like one time I asked this guy if he had the time... he said he had no clue... it was as if we were trying to solve some sort of strange time related mystery. All of a sudden we became time detectives. "Hey look, footprints! This clue will surely lead us to the time!"
Just once I'd like to ask someone a question and have them answer "I have a clue" and then play some kind of fun guessing game with them. "Excuse me, do you have the time?" "I have a clue! It's after 4:00, but it's before 9:00. "I still don't know, I'm going to need another clue..." "It starts with the letter S." "Hmmm..." "Upside down it looks like an L." "Hmm..." "It rhymes with heaven..."

Besides being funny, you have a definite voice, which is just as important. I like the reexamination of cliches and bromides.
I'd like to reexamine a bromide, too, but what is it? I don't have a ... nevermind.
Is there an Amazon-type arrangement where portions of my Musicstack purchases would help this site? I love Musicstack and I shop there all the time for music. If any of you are into dance music or DJing, it's an especially good place to get rare vinyl or CDs from Europe.
excellent, just click through to MusicStack from the link on all Blogcritics music posts
Thanks Bob. Thanks Eric.
Eric, you're not just saying that because I finally include amazon products with my posts now?
Bob, you didn't see them because I just haven't put anything on here over the last week or 2. Most of the stuff I've written lately has been between 1 and 4 lines long. I kinda feel strange posting a 2 line post on here.
It READS kinda-sorta humorous. But the delivery is key. It's impossible to tell on a Blog whether or not your style of delivery would be effective.
Still, pretty good, in a Seinfeld-esque sorta way... :-P
