I’ve spent three rainy Lancashire days trying to wet shave my Fijian five string bouzouki but I just can’t get seem to get it smoothed up. I’m using an ex-Indian Army cut throat (c. 1936) and cinnamon flavoured shaving foam from Wal-Mart. I cannot seem to get the mercury, rainbow and roast duck with egg fried rice effect that I’ve seen on other ‘zouks, washing machines and trombones at various seshes lately. Any suggestions?
Additionally, I just can’t get my rock’n’roll wig to stay on! Of course, I’ve tried SyripStik and Hair Hat Araldite but during over fast reels it just flies off, swoops around the pub on its own until its engine stalls, coughs and lands in Fritz’s Mango Breezer or the halal Polish crumpet shop next door. Should I go the whole weasel and have a nylon rug transplant or save up my pocket money and invest in the ortalan farm in Provence that I’ve always dreamt of?
Oh well! Back to the rodeo...
I hope that's not the same ortolan farm in Provence I've always dreamt of. I warn you, I have unlimited resources, so you won't stand a chance in Chorley bidding against me. But you can rest assured, there'll be plenty more rainy Lancashire days for you to work on your organological depilation technique. (Counterintuitive though it may seem, I've heard on good authority that wet shaving is in fact *not* the way to go. There may even be specialist products available.)
Regarding wig adhesive, I say don't bother. If upon your head is where it wants to be, there it will stay. Should it decide to take flight mid-tune, it would be, for the ordinary man or woman, a distraction from the monotony of endless reels and jigs and, for the uninspired poet, a positive inspiration. You may also be interested to know that Polish Muslims consider a second-hand hair in their crumpet to be a delicacy. As for Fritz and his Mango Breezer, he'd complain if the're *wasn't* a hair in his drink - I've even known scold the barmaid for putting the wrong number of bubbles in his ice-cubes - so a few stray hairs will hardly mke a difference.
KS—
Self-pity expressed with such rare eloquence is a dee-light. One thinks of Gustav Mahler. And one would therefore wish your troubles to continue, as they produce a flowering, sir.
I am saddened that ragaman has presented you with solutions of such dazzling clarity.
I think the colourful substances you have seen on your friends' bouzoukis, etc., are likely to have been relics of the last time they were violently ill when in charge of them.
Mention of "the roast duck with fried rice effect", for some strange reason, made me think of this. I was thinking Vibrant Asian Fusion - that is to say, the rice would be Indian style, with fluorescent red, orange and yellow grains with equally fluorescent green peas in it. As they say, you can't keep a good takeaway down...
Ah ha! Indeed!
This place name (a montain in New Zealand?) was the hook of a tune called the Lone Ranger by a band called Quantum Leap. It was a "radio hit" in the late seventies and had a Zappa-esqu groove to it.
The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave ,is what the place name means. Yes Biggus, thank the lord for investigoogling.

It will just end up being shortened like they did with Bangkok:
Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit
which is the official name of the city.

I just wonder if this thread would have existed without the marvel that is cut and paste.
