Good Kirsty: Wait, what are we doing here? Today isn’t our day.
Bad Kirsty: We’re apologising. Due to unforeseen circumstances, you see, we won’t be hearing from guest writer David about The Stork Caliph today.
GK: We have no Stork Caliph?
BK: Yes, we have no Stork Caliph. We have no Stork Caliph today!
GK: *headdesk*
BK: So what do we do?
GK: Well, I don’t know nearly enough about Mihaly Babits or Hungary in general to come up with any kind of intelligent substitute for today’s post. And nobody needs to hear my views on Freud.
BK: Bloody Freud.
GK: And it’s holiday time, and we’re in Scotland in the snow with five dogs who want to go out and play, and the nearest books at hand are a German translation of some novel by Sophie Kinsella about a lawyer who becomes a housekeeper (bought at the train station) and a biography of Fidel Castro.
BK: Yes, you know you’re travelling light when you have only one Castro biography with you. *eyeroll*
GK: And I shouldn’t think anyone wants to hear about either of those. So I suppose we just have to apologise for the lack of post today.
BK: Sorry dudes. Normal service resumes tomorrow with Moira’s fabulous piece about Jan Pienkowski. In the meantime, enjoy the winter weather and wrap up warm!
Fabulous! I love this. I love GK & BK. It’s the virtual answer to Talking Heads. Can we have more from them?
Axxx
I wouldn’t mind hearing more about Scotland, snow and the five dogs. There’s a short story lurking in there somewhere. It could be a novel when you add the biography of Castro.
Enjoy the play time!
KIRSTY, check your inbox. There should be a nice article about Freud, Babits, Hungary, modesty etc. sitting there, complete with pictures… the works.
Your two person monologue happens to be terribly apt, btw. You should make this a feature. Ave!
This was hilarious! And BK was so smart alecky, especially about the Castro bio. Always enjoy the 2 K’s. Have fun in the snow with 5 playful dogs, which sounds like a bit of Heaven, actually.
