There's no denying that Lord Bassington-Bassington moves in circles where the phenomenon of steampunk is held in a certain regard. And while the Victorian futurism of steam and clockwork has a certain appeal to anyone with a nostalgic bent, His Lordship has always felt that steampunk is slightly overrated. So imagine his elation when stumbling upon the eminent webpage Your Scene Sucks, which features a brilliantly acidic write-up on steampunks.
Here at Bassington Manor, "steampunk" is what happens when His Lordship's secretary irons shirts with the iron on a steam setting – while listening to old punk records.
As the resident steampunk mullah I of course take medium offense, but couldn't be bothered to put down my cup of tea in order to take the matter up with you, so there!
ReplyDeleteAs the post clearly indicates, steampunk has a certain appeal for me. So I suggest you take your indignation elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteI'll have you know that I suffer indignation wherever I please, sir!
ReplyDeletePerhaps my dear Mullah could give Shakeel Ahmad Bhat a run for his money?

For the final insult: the bow tie in the image looks suspiciously like a clip-on!

ReplyDeleteAnd everyone deserves to be insulted!
