I am new to TubeNet. I keep reading "bloke this and bloke that". Is Bloke a real person or just a figurative concoction? In any case Block seems to know a lot. Thanks. Bigsum

Some say he’s dead... Some say he never will be. Bloke!

Bloke is the hive-mind of a Russian troll farm.

Oh, Joy! I just purchased my first Sellmansberger rim, cup and shank. Did I get enough pieces?

If your part of 90 goes through the Florida Panhandle, I sure hope you missed the brunt of the storm...but 90 is way over 1000 miles long, so…
And a hurricane can certainly travel that many miles or more.

"Bloke" is an old Australian colloquial word meaning "guy" in the US. Examples: Who is this bloke called "Bloke"? What does this bloke look like? Is he a good bloke? "Bloke" may have perhaps visited Australia at some time and picked up the expression, there again the bloke may not have. This post comes from a bloke in Australia.

Neither I nor you:
But when the freak jury's trembling,
The bloke is trolling you.
Who has seen the bloke?
Neither you nor I:
But when the bottom bow dents vanish away,
The bloke has just passed by.
Congratulations! You have now won the TubeNet. (Not really, Sean)

Just another random fat guy making fart sounds - sometimes by using a tuba.

I saw this on the main screen - is this bloke's secret identity? Is he a reincarnation? Maybe a limited edition Conn tuba (or a copy of one?)
