There is much better funny stuff out there, and these guys think they are a part of the Cambridge/Oxford Dishwasher Society and deserve to get their licks in to show that they also deserve a part of the fame that many of these folks gained.


Easy mosh. It's just a joke. Come on, Pedro! Smile man.

That was Pedro's most succinct post for some 105 years, and was spot on.
Moz also had it right........That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore.


My friend, I gather the mock-letter didn't tickle your funny bone at all. Although, the 105 year reference tickled mine.

They're niche and they're amusing enough. Just a bit of harmless fun that, from the replies, all concerned appear to see the humour in. I don't see what the fuss is about.

Messrs Turnbull and Philpott evidently have more than just a passing interest in Progressive Rock (and, it has to be said, perhaps an overindulgent predilection for 80s pop), so good for them.




But... Cambridge/Oxford Dishwasher Society... Confused what does that even mean?
What?

What I always think. If someone doesn't like the posts, then they don't need to check them out. There are some people who are enjoying this posts, so you might just as well keep posting them for them. Those who checked them out of curiosity and didn't like them, I guess they have all the right to post their opinions, as long as they don't offend anyone. As for me, I thought it was fine, and it is nice to know that the replies are made by the artists themselves... it might be good if you posted that bit from the beginning. I mean, it's clear from the beginning that the letter is a fake or a joke or however you want to call it, but it wasn't so cear if the "joke" answer was made by the artist or was invented by you.


Editing the original post should fix that problem. Most entertaining. Novelty in the prog world... (kidding!).

Who's Next?

For what it's worth, I think the letters are amusing.

Wilf, you do not offend me. You bore me, which is your inalienable right.

You do not upset me. I find the letters tedious. That should not stop you posting them, because my opinion is utterly irrelevant in this matter. I am a mere flea on the back of an elephant's arse.
