Bernard's Advice Thread!

Ask away!

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Post by Bernard Walton »

Well, some of the kids got me to do this, but since I AM older and probably wiser than most of you youngsters, feel free to ask me advice on any given situation. I'll tell it like it is! :p

Bernard, you are my problem. I know that you're rather middle-aged, but I still find your sense of humour intensely attractive. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that if I tell others about this crush that I have on you, others might be jealous. How should I handle this situation? :-k

Also, in Poor Loser, did you really think that Connie had a crush on you, just because she wanted to talk to you? :-s

You have quite a few siblings. What are some general tips you can give me for getting along with them?

I remember Bernard explaining his squeegee method to Eugene or someone in one episode. It was a very precise way, if I recall correctly.

I do hope Bernard comes back!

Well stuff me with spice and call me a chilli pepper! Where in the world was I when all these questions were being asked? Ah well, better late than never I suppose.

You should go up to that person and say "HEY! COME THROUGH ON YOUR COMMITMENTS, YA LAZY BUM!"

Or, if that dosen't work you could always try asking him niceley, but, I prefer the straightforward version better. :noway:

RATHER Middle Aged? Why, I'll have you know young lady that I-- what now... you find my humor attractive? Well, gee thanks! That's really nice of you to say that. Err... I mean, not that this is the first time a woman has ever told me that, ha ha, noo... *cough*

Anyways, you pretty much just blew your cover, kiddo, but you're far to young even for a strapping spring chicken like myself. Why don't you try someone more up your alley, like, say, Rodney Rathbone. Now he's a nice fella! *hack* Eh... chest cold. :anxious:

And as for Connie, of COURSE she had a crush on me! All the ladies around here do! But none of them cook... I mean... look as good as my Maude. O:)

Because of your amazing humility. :roll: Next!

If one of your older siblings suggest throwing the youngest sibling into a pit and selling him/her into slavery, for goodness sakes talk some sense into that sibling! Last thing we need is one of these kids ruling over Egypt. :noway:

My tried and true method. Buy some breath improving gum, and replace the package with juicy fruit or maybe the hot red kind. Then offer the stinker a piece of gum! With the switched package, he won't get your subtle message untill it's too late! :badgrin:

You hire Bernard Walton to do it for you. Next!
Itaque wrote:I do hope Bernard comes back!
Why, have I gone somewhere?
Robert Mitchell wrote:How do I make money quickly?
Well, I wouldn't know, but Bart Rathbone just "shared" with me his method the other day.

Step 1. Create a booklet entitled How to get rich quick.
Step 2. Sell it for 260 dollars a piece.
Step 3. Print in the book steps 1-4.
Step 4. Fill up yer swimming pool with all the cash and go for a dip!

Good ol' Bart. :p

Hey, I always finish what I start! Unless of course it's "Aunt Beatrice's Christmas FruitMeatloafCake Surprise".

Thanks for writing me everyone! I'll leave now, there are windows to be washed!

My dearest Bernard,

Your rejection has hurt me deeply. :mecry: I had so hoped that we would be able to have a future together. Regarding your suggestion that I turn to Rodney, I first must ask if his tonsils are in good condition. I refuse to date a man with unhealthy tonsils. :noway:

I eagerly await your response, my dear Bernard. I think you look cute in your window washer's outfit. :inlove:

Yours,
Catspaw
