Music for puppies for junior musicians

Sweet Jeebuz, Andrew! Straight to personal insults in your first sentence. I’m guessing you think the best form of defence is a good offence? BimboGeek gave your ‘gala event’ free publicity. Although it was done with tongue planted firmly in cheek, BG clearly did a much better job of spreading the word than you did. Harden-up, Buttercup!

Oh – and welcome to RiotACT :o)

What about an all-pet band? They could be animated like little hand puppets

Attempting to kill a fundraiser with ignorant dissing like this is really nasty stuff.

I’d say BimboGeek simply pointed out some of the shortcomings with the organisation of this fund raising event. Of course she has also conveyed her sentiments about the organisation, but then that’s within her right.

BimboGeek said :

It wasn’t an attempt at sarcasm, it was successful.

Yep, it was. Although I made a smart-ass quip, your post did give me a quick wry smile, and that’s made my day.

I wouldn’t call her post gratuitous. It’s a matter of different opinion, which should be respected.

It’s also OK to ingest body fluids during sexy time if those fluids are freely given…
… I don’t like vegan cheese much and rarely eat it.

What about if you take these fluids and make cheese from them?

Vegan babies are fed human milk freely given by a member of the same species. It’s also OK to ingest body fluids during sexy time if those fluids are freely given. Cannibalism is probably a bit naughty although vampirism is fine if there’s a mutual consent.

Just do whatever’s logical. I don’t like vegan cheese much and rarely eat it.

Sorry BG, looked at your websites and don’t need any tofu thongs and as to “dairy free cheese, is that anything like “dairy free milk”.

Are vegan babies fed mothers milk or is that taboo as well…?

I don’t buy leather. I buy lots of other lovely things though!

BimboGeek – if you would like a meaningful discussion with me about this lets see you publish your real name.

LOL – As if I’d publish my real name!! Good luck with your fundraiser, I’m sure it will be lovely. xx

Well BimboGeek – the name quite obviously describes your nature, but for those who now believe there is something wrong with the battle of the backyard bands because of your ill considered remarks I, the organiser of this fundraising event will explain:

The Battle of the Backyard Bands is a series of competitions for people who do not earn their primary income from music (ie amateurs like me). The purpose of the event is to gain publicity for the Canberra Music Workshop (the non- judgemental workshops you refer to) and in doing so raise money for the RSPCA – something the event has already gained success with.

The event is run by a group of volunteers associated with the CMW (see the canberramusicworkshop website) which is itself a volutary endeavour.

Any lack of clarity over how this event is being run and for who and why etc is entirely my fault in organising and communicating with the RSPCA, who have done a great job in setting up Battle of the Backyard Bands.

I encourage anyone interested in local live music take a good look at the event website via links at the cmw site or the RSPCA site. I am sure most people won’t find it so complicated.

I suggest that instead of pontificating on the faults of others who’s motives and actions you would no doubt be incapable of even understanding that you put your energy into supporting others who are actually capable of achieving something worthwhile for the community.

To everyone else I say – come and see the Battle of the Bands – each week from August 5

See you there, regards Andrew

PS BimboGeek – if you would like a meaningful discussion with me about this lets see you publish your real name.

The main cause of animal cruelty is your diet.

Nuff said, I’m not getting into an argument on the topic.

Last time I looked at an encyclopaedia, humans were omnivores. As a result, I choose to eat many things.

PS When was the last time you bought leather shoes?

Of course you won’t. You’ll just preach your views, blame meat eaters for all that is bad and wrong in the world, and then block your eyes and ears.

Don’t concern yourself with the reality of what places like the rspca try to do http://www.rspca.org.au/how-you-can-help/campaigns/

You should definitely start working for animal liberation. They need more people like you.
