As the would-be "victim" of this purported hoax, I can only say that there must be some sort of mistake. I know TLB. He would never mislead me. He knows that I've always relied on him for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I don't know what I'd do if I were discover that he had ever told me anything that wasn't strictly in accordance with the facts.
Please straighten out what must be nothing more than an unfortunate misunderstanding, TLB. ;-)
The doofus used to be a harmless dolt, now he's an annoying a-hole.
