rattus rattus’ blog

From the mailbag:

She: You love the statement “Don’t take things too seriously”, don’t you?

Me: Of course I do! As long as you don’t take it too seriously. :-)

Our dog is the most beautiful. And not just this, when I dig my nose into her fur I can smell the bouquet of wild honey.

I always wanted to know how I smell. But nobody dares to tell me.

Given that I do not nose how smelly my dog is (because others did dare to tell me this) one has to conclude that I am as smelly as my dog, right?

Thus, no one dares to tell me, actually, that I smell like a dog
because I do.

rattus rattus is not getting tired of adding to his life (and blog) this most serious statement:

Parody! Not to be taken seriously!

ik (anyway wittily) asked:

Is it a parody that you are not to be taken seriously or are you a parody which is not to be taken seriously or….? :))

After all, the parody is parody. — Not just trivially, also seriously.
Of course, the phrase is part of the parody — and as such — it is seriously not to be taken seriously either.

Serious as in law suit or getting shot. As the man, who signed many of his illustrations with this very phrase, knew so well.

What’s really wrong with most people is hey take life too seriously.
— Larry Flynt

If this is part of your life (don’t) take it too seriously. Or be wrong.

[Ratta says: If you think it is time to move on, please do!]

I am not into telling the future (please note the nicely hidden self-contradictory aspect of this statement; thanks) but this blog ain’t dead.

Yet. ;-)

How do you show that you love telling fake stories?

[Ratta utters: Whatever I say is a lie. So, what do you want me to say?]

If you think that this here is all so very negative
you might very well be wrong. The opposite is true.
