Even though Bar Chords has existed for mere hours, we've already received reader questions.  To the mailbag!

Q: "Bar Chords"? What kind of stupid name is that for a blog?

A: You want to try asking that again?

Sigh.  Fine.  Bar Chords: explain.

The word "bar" carries a triple meaning: 1) the legal profession, of which I am a member; 2) a public establishment where booze is consumed; and 3) a certain type of chord on a guitar.  Together the make up a large chunk of what interests me: law, booze and carousing, and Rock and Roll. As such, I expect those topics to be the main thrust of this blog.

"Chords" obviously refers to the aforementiond guitar technique, and also the harmonious noise of notes ringing out together.  As for the other things, it's - um - a metaphor. Or something.

You stupid moron. It's spelled "barre" when referring to chords. You're dumb.

Two posts and already my readers are hostile. Sheesh.

Saaaaaaaayyyyyy.  Aren't you that guy from -

Yes.

Really? Wow. I thought you were done.

So did I.

So are you also going to blog at the K-

No. It's dead.

Dead?

Dead.

Learned - ?

Dead. And buried in situ.


The Notorious B-I-L?

Bill is still chasing his dream of being a professional pie decorator.

Enough of these silly inside jokes that I don't get.  What, exactly is this blog about?

Whatever I want it to be about. Those topics in the header provide a clue, but it's not exhaustive.  And it's going to be funny, I hope. Above all, this is a humor blog for long-form humor. One-liners, bon mots and general brief stupidity will continue go on Facebook.

What about Twitter?

Fuck twitter.

I'm not friends with you Facebook. How will I ever get access your awesome short-form humor and brief stupidity?

Do I know you?

No.

Then you can't.

So, will you cover politics?

Maybe a little -

WOOHOOO!  Homey come back to tear those moonbats a new one!!!!

Assuming for the moment that the above gibberish was English, no.





No? What do you mean 'no'?

I'm done with polemics. 

Wow. That's a big word!

Here. The fact that stupid dicks like Ed Schultz and Michael Savage can draw national audiences is depressing enough without me and thousands of others imitating their schtick.

(Actually, Savage isn't really stupid - he's just a dick.  Ed Schultz, however, rates high in both categories).

Isn't calling people "stupid dicks" exactly the thing you're railing against? How can anybody take you seriously?

You mean take seriously the guy who once used the word "boner" seven times in a single sentence? How indeed.

I resolve to be a better person going forward. To that end I have a fascinating post about the Supreme Court-

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Trust me. It is interesting and will challenge your preconceived notions of division on the court and of this country.

So if you're not going to engage in poetics - 

*Polemics.

Right, whatever.  What are you going to write about?

Everything else.

Will there be haikus?

How can one subsist
Sans the magic of haiku?
Not me. Syllables.


Boxers or briefs?

What are those?
