about this ....

Apparently, she doesn't realize I'm the archfiend of the Fray.

So please, let her be.

Some day, it'll be an actual check.

And then a mention in FrayWatch.

And then, who knows ... maybe even a fresh roll every morning, like Bontsche the Silent asked for.

Some day, it'll be an actual check

Man, I didn't expect "some day" to be "to day".

I'm gonna ask for some sweet butter with that fresh roll, fer sure.

You can have mine, I never used it without washing my hands.

Just tell Moira I said to take it. :)

You got a sweet roll from Moira back in the old days?

Not sure I want it ... must be pretty stale by now.

I assume you mean a "star" ... funny .;. I've always enjoyed your posts but I don't recall you being starred.

Anyway, the trouble with approval is it means you gotta clean-up your act. I mean, I may have to start posting about how I'm single-handedly reviving the British cult of the gentleman amateur (oops sorry - gentleperson amateur) by reinventing it as "indie science."

You are just mentally unstable and annoying.

Kind of like that guy in the local cafe who talks to himself (loudly) and showers infrequently.

Not really tolerable, what what can we do? After all, this is America, and he has just as much right to be there as we do.

what what can we do

Well for one thing, you can stop posting pictures of Jabba the Hut here at BotF.

I'm sure you haven't forgotten what I posted the last time you did it (before this week).

And I'm equally sure that qualified BotFer's could have a field-day trying to figure out why ol' Jabba figures so signficantly in your self-image.

Because I don't really care, except to be temporarily annoyed, and feeling some pity.

I figure I am like most posters here, we don't even think of you when you are not in our face. I think you know that, also. That is why you are constantly in our face.

Holy Moly!

Two checks in the same day!

I know if I click my heels three times I'm gonna be back at the Fray.

i'd hate to think that you think justoffal is your better.

That's an uncharacteristically snide remark, Mr. Crisp.

I'm surprised at you - I thought you were better than that.

Congrat.s NT. Moira is the most human and equitable editor Slate has ever had.

If she gave you one if only as she wrote for your good humor.It's one you deserve. Enjoy it.

;-)

Yeah - whereas you think of other posters all the time when they're not cross-posting with you.

Right.

When I werigh the advantages of cleaning up my act and stepping out of the gutter onto the sidewalk, no longer being able to volley with you and the other members of the Secret Sixth Grade Girls Club looms large as a primary bennie.

Two actually, but who's counting\?
