Conversation #24 – The Unprincipled and Venal

Greg says:

This world is full of the unprincipled and venal

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

There’s truth. Can you give me time out for five mins

Greg says:

Very well

.

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

[ahhhhh]

Greg says:

Eh?

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

Black as hell, strong as death and sweet as an angels kiss

Greg says:

I repeat – eh?

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

Turkish guide to good coffee – black as hell, strong as death, sweet as an angels kiss

Greg says:

Is hell particularly black? – I thought of it as more fiery. Sulphur and brimstone and that

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

Hells a big place – there’s room for both I expect

Greg says:

So why pick something that’s only black in spots? You wouldn’t go for black as a leopard

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

Perhaps it’s a translation thing. Either way doesn’t alter the fact that the steaming cup in front of me is black as the blacker parts of hell, strong as death and bitter as an ex-wife’s peck on the cheek

Greg says:

Needs to be snappier - the ex-wife bit ain’t bad though

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

Meh. Plus irrelevant to the younger generation

Greg says:

Are we not the younger generation?

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

Not really.

Greg says:

I guess not – when did that happen?

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

Not sure to be honest – I think they must have changed the boundaries somehow

Greg says:

So 28 no longer counts as youthful?

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

Did it ever?

Greg says:

[sigh]

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

[sigh]

Greg says:

On the subject of which the world is full of the unprincipled and venal

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

The subject of what?

Greg says:

Square brackets [glares]

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

And how do they relate to the unprincipled and venal

Greg says:

Because you derailed this conversation with [ahhhhh] above to yammer on about Turkish coffee

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

Not Turkish coffee. Turkish proverbs. The coffee is italian

Greg says:

The nationality of the coffee is irrelevant and does not effect the degree to which the world is packed with the unprincipled and venal

The Kenny of the Seven Veils says:

The nationality of coffee always matters. Anyhow I’ve gotta go. cu

Greg says:

You bastard
