    You guys are making my head hurt

    You needn't suffer a moments discomfort. It's very simple: Buckyl has posited the LWM either wrote posts under my name, or possibly, that Iwrite posts while colluding in some way with LWM. All I am asking is that he point out which posts these are. All he needs to do is press the "read other letters" button for me, or conversely LWM.

    I mean, what an accusation to throw around! If LWM is doing this with my handle, I want to know about it.

    Oh, BTW, how does he do it? Does he have accounts under several names, some of which happen to be names of other accounts, or am I always LWM.

    The liberality or amiability or lack of same in LWM's comments notwithstanding, I do believe he neither needs to or would willingly lower himself to using my handle.

    And how does he do it. Bucky, I'm sure you've thought this out, so I'll turn it over to you.

    LWM, I beg of you, on the basis of our common humanity, if nothing else, to please not treat the accusation of using my handle with the severity such an unforgivable insult deserves.

    I can only assure you that when Bucky lumped me in with the other posters, we was not aware he was consigning them to an inner circle of literary hell, a particular odiousness which was heretofore mine, exclusively.

    And LWM, in my admittedly valueless opinion, being mistaken for some of those posters could even be a compliment! Think of them, and try to forget that Bucky included me! No man should have to bear that, and I'm sure it's the first thing he will apologise for!

    And by the way LWM, how do you do it?

    Thanks for your concern, and yes, I sure considered the oral surgery factor. I found that my helmet strap augmented the dental appliance used to wire my jaws together, although why my jaws had to be wired together for six weeks, and why my wife was slipping the Dentist $500 just as I went under the gas, I do not know. Modren medicine, who can say? Well, I can't, hell I'm taking nourishment through a straw.

    I tried to avoid the pain pills which would interfere with my riding. by prayer, I thought I could transcend dental medication!!! Oy, strictly from hunger!

    Anyway, it's all better, and my brain is growing back. And when I get these damn wires off, you can bet I've got a few questions for my Moosette!

    Unless, of course, there are complications!

    Just bear in mind, Buckyl my lad, that the above is the kind of stuff you are accusing LWM of authoring. Frankly, if you have to answer to the consequences, don't blame me!

  • The Tooth of Crime!

    Here's what. First, we recognize that the Bush administration committed a crime in the name of the American people. Then we do what it takes, both psychologically and financially, to repair the crime.

    Or, we could just elect Obama, and watch all those guys try to square their present course of action with the possibility of legal, let alone moral or financial accountability which comes with an Obam administration. The War On Iraq will come to a grinding halt!

    My little ax-grinding aside, that was a wonderful paragraph quoted. Like a vision of a different, and better world.

    I'm with you LWM, all the way! Any man who could "wet start" a jet like John McCain is a true American Hero! Just ask the crew on the Uss Forrestal!

    Whatever you have to tell yourself. Does that mean that we'll still have 50k troops there guarding "our" military bases?

    -- Chris Sinnard

    Nope, they'll have to come home. Maybe we could give them a bonus or extra promotion to make up for that hazardous mission. You've heard what Shooter says the streets are like here? Can you blame them if they want to stay?

    How's about we just leave the subject of my wife alone, huh. You think it's easy living with a woman who (as I found out several years in) shot her first husband?

    So let's just leave her out of it, okay.

    Bucky, do you know how much it hurts me to quote that line at you?

    Timberman you old faker; you yourself admitted that lwm uses untold sock puppets here.

    LWM HOW DOES HE DO IT?

    Jeez, now you got me typing like a Freeper! Okay, I've always wanted to do that. But the question remains.

    So it seems quite complex to me.

    While it might require an observation which is somewhat more than casual, why don't you try it? It takes two seconds to register for a letters account, please, feel free, register under my name, and write a post for us. Hell, it'll be better than any of the dreck I come up with! I'll be proud to own it as my own.

    Go ahead!

    I sometimes wonder if you really do 'love' his tactics as you so often claim,

    Bucky, there are forms of literary relationships which are more exotic, more passionate, more deeply felt and more entangling than any of the gross physical vatiety. You interfere with them at your peril. These people may be more than pen-pals! After all, if you are willing to pull a man's dirty sock over your head and speak in his voice, what perversity can be far behind. And I'm sure LWM hates to leave his behind.

    You remember the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet? You wanna end up like that? Leave it alone Bucky, for God's sake: Leave it alone!

    Hey! I gotta tell you about our three hens! Okay the two young ones started laying, but the three old ones just won't stop! Jeez, Good, they're like 7 or 8 years old! Yeah, they took a little time off in the winter, but started right up again last week!

    Of course, the most important step to liking chickens is not to have too many.
