I think the true and rightful recipient of that award is Atlanta Mike/Rebel Mike/Revis of Nazareth. He apologized to me via PM a long time ago for saying he was glad my dog died (he went to edit it out but he was too late). This was a couple of years after it happened; but I was in a bad mood and what I wrote back was that people should start burning Confederate flags on every street corner, lol. What a closet racist weirdo that guy was, and his last incarnation was how edgy he'd become and how much he wasn't a racist. The South (and my apologies to millions upon millions of decent Southerners) still has a very unsavory underbelly. State love, that too, what is up with that and who gives a shit. I mean, 'I love New York', and I get a kick out of bashing NJ, but it's all in good fun. I really only care about the country as a whole. While on a tangent (and where I be without one), I used to belong to this really cool blog back in the year of the flood. All photos, all old, some daguerreotypes. So, there would be a category, let's say logging, the railroad, Gypsy caravans, The Great Depression, potato farmers, artists, writers, the old west, Native Americans, notable Americans, WWI, you name, it was there, and some of the photos were stunning. Then they would have this fun contest of guess the person (and a lot of them were harder than you'd think). I don't mean easy stuff like Helen Keller, really obscure. So one day, someone posted a photo of a Confederate General, which was actually pretty easy, and the comments went of for pages and got progressively left of center. I could feel my brow knitting. "Wait a second, did I just read that?" Yeah, I read it. Insidious stuff, but the message soon became very clear. When it turned into "The South shall rise again", OK, that's it. "The South shall rise again? What kind of creepfest is this? I guess that means slavery while we're at it." Deleted. "Too bad John Wilkes Booth almost burned to death in a barn and then got shot for his trouble." Deleted. "Too bad about the invention of the cotton gin." Deleted. "Too bad about that pain in the ass Frederick Douglas. Abolition, not good." Deleted. "If I had two faces, would I be wearing this one? - Abraham Lincoln." Deleted. Oh, man, I had a field day. Haven't been back since, still can't wash off the skeeze. What was this about again? The pre-season game. Right.
Haha, you and johnyd are hitting it out the park lately. Too bad neither of my quoting your posts showed what you said. Laughed like hell. EDIT: OK, how the hell did I misspell Johnny? And I didn't misspell misspell, so do how do you figure? Answer: I am the Queen of Typos. Sounds like a mythical place in ancient Greece.
Because jonny doesn't know how to spell his own freaking name, bitch. Who says the off-season is bad? I challenge you to a duel!
