I think you'd best hear it from the man himself, Pieman, but being that I take French I've always pronounced his name the French way, corm-ee-yay. But maybe he thinks that's too pretentious or something. (hey, it works for Stephen Colbert...)

::) :P Dont worry. I looked there, and discovered that Rick has done more parodies of The Beatles than any other artist. He also said in the bio that he was impacted the most musically by The Beatles. So I decided to make my tribute to Rick a parody of some song by The Beatles.


Bob....I think it's Rick DUNCAN who you're describing here; he's parodied EVERY Beatles song. Rick's done a few, but.... ???


Also, how do you pronounce Cormier? Is it two syllables or three? I just need to know for pacing reasons.


I'm not sure, bob; it could be "c'mere", as in "yo, byatch, c'mere!"....or it could be "crummier"....or "sore-my-ay" or even "Yan-ko-vic"....go with what feels good for you.  ;D


Hey, thank you, Jack. Wow! This is a GREAT contest so far! But, enough about ME. What does EVERYONE ELSE think about ME?


What do I think about Rick? I'm not allowed to say; the District Court's put a gag order on me....


* hmm, that gives me an idea... *

good point Rick and...

WHAT!!! :o

did I just hear conqueror say he's never heard of Stuart McArthur?

that's OUTRAGEOUS!!

(c'mon, defend and compliment me guys :))




(sigh...here we go again)

Stu and I served together in Vietnam....not the war, mind you, but behind the bar at Mama's Pole-Dancing Palace in Hanoi; where, if Mama was short of girls, Stu would often put on a sequinned G string and fill in.
During those heady years where we shared a broom closet, I came to know Stu as a friendly but highly unstable bon- viveur, keeper of small rodents, and all round good(ish) guy. On our return to Australia, Stu and I parted company....me returning to my home town, and Stu heading to the outback to set up a colony for leprous wombats in the small town of Didjabringabeeralong. I lost contact with him until that wondrous day when i saw his smug, wrinkled visage on the pages of Amiright.
I'd tell you about the time he tried to smuggle Camembert into Uruguay, but that's for another day.... 8)

And as for what Stu said...with how could I not know Rick...look, I haven't been around here as long as you guys, so I haven't read a lot of his parodies (just the ones that have gone SOTM...duh).



I understand that, bobpie, and I know you're only fifteen, which is why I keep hoping you'll work out how to avoid offending people to the degree where they whack you back, hard - when usually your original offending slight had been quite unintentional.  (It mus be coz you're an Aussie that I feel this empathy :))  

What I meant was, maybe you should think about more accurately phrasing some of your immediate thoughts before you immediately post them.  Such as when you talk about people insulting you, and when you tell us to get our acts together because we don't realise bobpie and conqueror are the same dude, and when you seem to be questioning the sanity of writers whose parodies you don't quite understand, or when you say that you're unfamiliar with one of the leading writers on the site, or when you question aloud why you don't have as many SOTM points as somebody else.

Of course, if the irritated reactions to these comments don't bother you, fair enough, go for your life, but they do seem to bother you because you always seem to be bewildered and hurt afterwards

In the above instance, it's hard to hear you say you haven't really given Rick any consideration or thought because you've only been on the site about a year, after reading your parody lamenting the fact that some people haven't made the effort to realise you write under two different names

yeah, people must be REALLY getting sick of hearing that tired old tale by now Kristof ::)  (

and I plum forgot about that sequinned g-string - I'm sorry mate - I meant to return it, but I just get SO many compliments about it 

(and not only did I used to fill in whenever there was a girl-shortage, I also filled it OUT, as you can see from this old "Hanoi Mama's" promotional card

oh, and for Cat, here's the (American) translation version of my previous post

LMAO!! ;D

Having had the distinct mispleasure of having to spend a night in Narrabri, I would suggest that cuddling Humphrey Bear could only have improved matters  ;)

::) :P Dont worry. I looked there, and discovered that Rick has done more parodies of The Beatles than any other artist. He also said in the bio that he was impacted the most musically by The Beatles. So I decided to make my tribute to Rick a parody of some song by The Beatles.

That's a good idea, isn't it? Making the tribute a parody of a song that the person you're honouring would identify with.

Which means Agri should make his tribute to me a parody of a song from the 2000's. Okay with that, Agri?

And as for what Stu said...with how could I not know Rick...look, I haven't been around here as long as you guys, so I haven't read a lot of his parodies (just the ones that have gone SOTM...duh).

Also, how do you pronounce Cormier? Is it two syllables or three? I just need to know for pacing reasons.
Using a Beatles song wouldn't be a bad idea. I have parodied a few of their songs (not what I would consider my best work though). Most of those parodies were written when I first came on here and, was posting one or two a day.

I pronounce it COR-me-air, with the accent on the first syllable. That is not the French way to do it but, I try NOT to do anything the way the French do.

Good Luck!

Bob....I think it's Rick DUNCAN who you're describing here; he's parodied EVERY Beatles song. Rick's done a few, but.... ???


Actually, I gave Rick C's author page URL to bobpiecheese, so he is correct. Rick C has 9 Beatles' parodies, which is more than any artist (not parody author).

Rick C's bio exercpt: "The Beatles had the biggest impact on me musically."

Funny story about Stu too!

I THOUGHT so! ;D

I'll probably parody "Let It Be" into "It's Rick C".

...Agri should make his tribute to me a parody of a song from the 2000's. Okay with that, Agri?

Sorry, Conq, but your tribute is almost complete, to the tune of an oldie-moldie that was probably recorded when your old man was naught but a glint in yer grandpappy's eye. Stay tuned...

And as for what Stu said...with how could I not know Rick...look, I haven't been around here as long as you guys, so I haven't read a lot of his parodies (just the ones that have gone SOTM...duh).

Uh, bob, I just checked your author page and, I discovered that I have been around here a LOT longer than you have. In fact, I started posting parodies here EIGHT DAYS before you did!

I think for Arwen I'm going to be doing it to "Lola" by The Kinks, so I'm calling dibs to make sure nobody else wants to do that OS.

My tribute to Agrimorfee is finished but, I'm not telling him anything about it, except that it is to a song he has parodied but, I never had, until now. MWAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA!

Oh GREAT..."Lola" is one of my secret pet names for Jeff! 

Oh well, fair is fair...I'll have to go with "Mandy" by Barry Manilow. ;)

*bob, (now unable to live with the shame) takes to the hills, finds a large cave, removes any resident marsupials, and ponders the meaning of existence.  ;)

to be fair, that IS 8 days less than the rest of us have had to get to know Rick, and I'm tipping that in 8 days time, he'll have well and truly caught up ;)

oh and bob, if any of those cave-dwelling marsupials are small and gerbil-shaped, would you mind sending them this way?  I'm sure Australia Post has purpose-built post-paks

bob, I hope you're not taking any of this to heart. It's all in jest.  :) You'll have to admit though, you have made it fairly easy for us.  :D

yes, it's all in fun, bobpie - we gave Cat a bit of a roasting last week, and now it's your turn, and when that's over it's back to Kristof, I guess ;)

Actually...the funny thing about that is...

When I first started posting parodies, I accidentally, with my first parody, had my name as "The_conqueror_of_parodies" instead of "the_conqueror_of_parodies". Then followed a huge shemozzle which I (welll, ChuckyG) recently fixed. So, my first parody is no longer on my author page nor on the site. It was the original submition of "Just Eat It". And it was submitted on...wait for it...25th of March! The same date that Rick also started.

Weird, huh?
