Jill Y and I sometimes worry about what the future will hold for little Dill Y

Jill Y and I sometimes worry about what the future will hold for little Dill Y. We’re perfectly happy that he’ll be a genius. That part doesn’t bother us at all. He’s 5 now and it’ll probably be at least another couple of years before he makes his first million and we can retire and live off his money. What concerns us is the declining state of society in general. Between global warming, the carbon footprint and allowing Bon Jovi to release music, we haven’t got a good track record on this planet at all. And what about the kids who are even littler than little Dill Y? His nephew and niece were at the beach the other day and when they came home I was shown this picture:




I just don’t know what’s gone wrong with this world. How can you allow young kids to drink Holsten Pills when there are obviously much better beers on the market? It’s just shocking behaviour and it needs to be stopped as soon as possible. I blame the parents.

NB: It’s good to mock not only condones kids drinking Holsten Pills, we condone kids drinking any beer as whiskey is our preferred poison.
 

The only person who talks more than I do is that Will Smith guy but that’s only because he has extra mouths

I talk a lot. Most of the time there's very little sense in what I say but those who know me, know me for what I am - a good for nothing, useless little mocker who speaks very little sense. I'm perfectly fine with this and my stupidity and I get on very well with each other. I tend to get bored with people quite easily and if I met you for the first time I'd rather have a conversation about mocking birds than mockingbirds. One of my favourite actors is Will Smith and funny enough, he talks a hell of a lot too but then again he has three mouths:

Two books, two eyes

A musician, like a comedian will tell you that the most important thing to them is timing and they wouldn’t be lying. If you’re a priest or the type of person who likes to tell fairy tales to large groups of people, you too will understand that timing is everything. Some people will tell you that it’s is something you’re born with but it isn’t. Timing is something you can learn and if you apply yourself, you just might end up as good as our friend Geoff:



NB: It’s good to mock would like to distance ourselves from the above pun. The more we think about it, the worse it gets. It was one of those things that was funny at the time but now it just seems really really bad.

Sometimes there just aren’t any words to describe something. This is one of those times.

This doesn't happen very often. The modus operandi of It's good to mock is quite simple. We use words and pictures to express ourselves. Sometimes we succeed and get our point across and sometimes the nonsense takes over and we end up with utter nonsense. That's just the way it is and nobody gets hurt so it's all good. But what happens when we just can't find the words to say what we want? What happens when we look for the words but they just can't be found? What happens is, we end up with a picture with no words and no story but I think we're going to be alright. For one day only, we're going to let you make your own massively opinionated minds up about what you're looking at. All that is left now is to use your eyes to carefully look at the picture and form an impression of what you are watching. Normal service to resume tomorrow:

If there’s 2 things little Dill Y likes, it’s horses and the improvisational nature of jazz fusion of the late 60’s and early 70’s, modal jazz of the late 50’s and the harmonic structure and melody of bebop jazz of the early 40’s. He may be only 5 years of age but he seems to be quite a creative little mocker. Yesterday he picked up a pencil and done an interesting drawing which combines his hobbies:

Small house or big cat

Every now and again, Jill Y does something that makes me step back in amazement with mouth wide open in disbelief. As a Scientist, she works on some pretty cool secret experiments although sometimes things get weird. Recently, I drank something she made and was convinced I was living inside a game of Pac-man. She sent an email a few moments ago and I'm actually scared to go home. All the email said was:

Hey honey, 

Have a look at this picture and see if you can tell if you’re coming home to a small house or a big cat:

Jill Y’s Nerdy Nephew

Yet again, Jill Y and I had the mother of all arguments. I won’t bore you with the details. Let’s just say that I thought she would appreciate the nurses uniform but apparently I don’t look good in white. I just don’t know what’s wrong with the world these days. As it turns out, I managed to calm her down and stop the throwing of sharp objects by agreeing to have a man to man chat with her 14 year old nerdy nephew. His dad couldn’t really do it as he’s doing a 10 – 15 stretch for trying to sell sand to the Arabs. I went to see her nephew and worked my magic. I won’t say it was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. I mean as soon as I saw what he was reading, I knew I had my work cut out:

A unique movie going experience

There’s a new cinema open in my part of the world. It’s not a big fancy cinema that shows the latest blockbusters but more of family based business. Truth be known, it’s not actually a cinema at all. Our friend Sugartastic Daddy John acquired a room with a projector and shows movies at the weekend. It’s always a good night out but I’m not sure if the films would suit everyone. Sugartastic is a would be director. At least he would be a would be director if he had any talent but please don’t tell him I said that. At first I thought he was just getting a bit confused and mixing the films up. Now I think he does it on purpose. He goes out of his way to make sure the movie going experience is a unique night out for his customers and brings out some pretty interesting titles. One things for sure, you won’t see these films anywhere else. The first week he was showing that Spock Bond film:

  
The following week he had the one with the guy who had the birds on his hands:



My favourite was last week. He showed that Tom Hanks War/Dance film:
