Knock it OFF, Landru...I'm cryin' now...that make you feel like a man?!

*LOL*...On behalf of my client, I would like to ask does all that cryin' make you feel like a Democrat? ;-) ~duckin'~

[Landru]

OK...since you're not ignoring me, as you'd asked I do with you?
I'm going to try something -- which is completely out of character for me to do -- in an honest effort to reach out to you; reason.

It's like this, imagine if you will:

You're walking down a street.
Someone walks up behind you, then to your side, & now puts their arm around your shoulder.
This individual tries to open a dialog with you & in way as if they've known you all your life.
(With me?)

Now since it *is* the year of our Lord 2003, (with all that implies) & even although you're a fairly friendly, social person, you're nonetheless unnerved having this -- seemingly innocuous enough -- stranger hanging on/off your should.
Unnerved if for no other reason than at this stage, aside from "bub," you don't even have a clue as to the guy's first name. (...nevermind anything else.)

OK, so you make a move to brush the guy's arm off your shoulder; &, you do so in (what you believe to be) a benign, unthreatening sort of way.
To your surprise the guy suddenly scowls at ya & starts telling you you're a SOB in a whole host of varying & different ways.
He tells you ya dress like a geek, walk like a duck, talk like a asshole, & smell like shit.
(Get the idea?)

Add to the guy's reading of you out, he's also poking you in the chest with his index finger just to emphasize each of his points, too.

Naturally -- & justifiably -- you whack the jamoke on the end of the nose in an effort at backing 'em away.
Not "hurt" 'em, mind you (which you could do if you elected; since, you've surely good & pissed off enough by now to give 'em a what-for) but just to simply put some space between you & he, at least until you learn a bit more about this person.

Now after you've learned all you think you need to learn about the person?
There's always the distinct possibility of you & this [now] "stranger" becoming the best of bosom-buddies. "Acquaintances," if you will; or, if there's a good chemistry, even "friends." ~In the dictionary sense of the word.
Butttttt first things first.
Ya *got* to come to know the guy, first.

Now imagine the story's characters are changed above.
Imagine I'm (Landru a.ka dan) the guy walking down the [read: cyber-street] & you're the -- albeit harmelss unbeknowst to me -- stranger [read: cyber-stranger] who's walked up portending to be a long lost buddy.

Every action has an opposite but equal reaction, Sir. Everything. And no where is this more evident than one finds it in the arena of politics. Nature of the beast, I'm afraid.

It's been my experience one [read: *I*] cannot be too egocentric when dealing with matters such as the one you & I find ourselves entangled in, and; someone has to bend.
'Lest there be warring without end, a life going from one nuerotic suspician to another, forevermore.

Since you don't "know" me?
I know you may not realize I'd fell as I've stated.
And, since I don't "know" you?
I'm left to guess you're not like [that], yourself.

Apologizes extended on my behalf for any & all cliche's I may have -- deliberately or inadvertently -- used to explain my POV; but, take it or leave it, that's the way I see it.

...understand?

I'm against school vouchers! It encourages the government to meddle into private schooling when they have no business doing so in the first place. School vouchers are another extreme measure of socializing education. Might work in the public government schools but not in the private. Especially private schools that teach the bible.

"Redskins Trade Fer Trung Canidate!!"

"The Washington Redskins traded a draft choice to the St. Louis Rams today for running back Trung Canidate, according to a source. The Redskins plan to make him their starting tailback next season ahead of Kenny Watson and Ledell Betts. The Redskins also are close to signing free agent guard Dave Fiore, who was released by the San Francisco 49ers this week to save $2.5 million of salary cap space. The signing of Fiore likely will be announced this evening. Fiore visited Redskins Park today with fellow free-agent guard Randy Thomas, who has played the past four season with the New York J-E-T-S Jets-Jets-Jets!! The Redskins are trying to complete a deal today with Thomas, but he is also being pursued by at least six other teams and would be costly because he is regarded by many scouts as the top guard available in free agency. Canidate is scheduled to be at Redskins Park on Saturday.

"Canidate, 25, is a first-round draft choice in 2000 out of Arizona who once was being groomed as the successor to Marshall Faulk, but he fell into disfavor with Coach Mike Martz. He replaces Stephen Davis [we'll miss ya, buddy], who was released on Wednesday. A source said the Redskins apparently will give up a fourth-round pick for Canidate. In 2001, he played in 16 games for the Rams and started twice. He finished with a career high 441 yards on 78 carries and scored six touchdowns. He also had 17 receptions for 154 yards."

Interesting...MUD

"Landru...your morality is safe in my hands!"

Welllllll, OK.
But it's a dmaned shame, I tell ya. Waste of good passion, too.

"The only thing that worries me, is that I kinda can tawlk the lawyer tawlk with ease...either I'm in the wrong profession, or I've been hanging out with the wrong kind of people!"

I noticed you *skilfully* omitted the possibility of both, eh?
Aye Lass... {g}

Now as for, "your people getting together with my people" et al?

C'mon!!

...are you really a *closet* Yank of Irish heritage? ;^)

[Lindykim]

Thanks Slim, and I'll be sure to keep an eye out for Landru. If he's not near as bad as a Texas scorpion, I can deal with him :-)

[Mudboy Slim]

"...keep clear of Landru...rumor has it he's quicker than a rattlesnake and twice as ornery!!"

"I'll be sure to keep an eye out for Landru."

Rumor is he's out and about...LOL!!

Some WEIRD STUFF, IMHO...MUD

[FBD]

Understood FRiend.

What started out to be a misunderstanding escalated.
I thought you took a swipe at me with the "FBL character" comment. I let that ol' troublemaker Mud get me going, heh, heh.

Anyway, truth be known, I like cats and cliche`s both. I just don't admit to either...:)

I will admit; my "book o' cliche`s" comments were uncalled for...IMO, you use them quite appropriately, and creatively.
I tried to be funny in a sarcastic way, it didn't come off, and I just took it waay too far. As I've said before, I can be full of it.

BTW, I guess I do like using jingoisms, and much too often, perhaps. I'll try not be so smarmy 'bout using 'em in the future. No guarantees.

Now enough of this Peace, Love, and Iron Maiden...
I gotta get back to work.

PS: Yer' good at using creative squiggles for expressive purposes, FRiend,
but since I'm not nearly as creative, I'll keep using my silly dancin' dots! :)

FRegards,
FBD

"The NEW WTC Design Finalists!!"

"December 18, 2002 On December 18, 2002, seven teams of architects, urban planners and other designers presented nine new sets of plans for the former World Trade Center site. Each team worked with the same constraints on the amount of office space, retail, cultural, and transportation amenities that their plans were required to include, and yet their solutions varied widely. Following a public response period, a final design team is expected to be chosen by the end of February."

Apparently, the Daniel Libeskind design won...MUD

[FBD]

Yer book is in , Mud...

Good stuff...'ol Ted uses the term "sheeple" quite a bit! I'm gonna have to put down "Savage Nation". This is a much better read, IMO. Lots of photos, as well.

"I tried to be funny in a sarcastic way, it didn't come off, and I just took it waay too far."

It came off just fine, IMHO...Landru just likes being a ball-buster...MUD

"BTW...I usedta date a beautiful young lady named Lindy whose parents usedta live up around Ashland...ever met her?!"

See *lindy*??
This is how it starts!
(In law enforcement it's called a modus operandi, or, "MO.")

Mud's a fairly dangerous boy; whatwith, all that southern Virginian rebel smoothtalk & the baloney sausage he spins like tops.

Now don'tchu be concerned with Landru, a'tall.
Think of me as an ol' detoothed bluetick hound.
That's just a diversion the Mudboy scoundrel employs often & a lot & sultan'll tell ya that. Mud's wife would tell ya the same thing -- two kids later -- too; but, I don't expect you'll be meeting her anytime soon, eh.

But as for me?
Hell's bells Landru's nothing more than a machine!!
Admittedly, one who likes nothing more than a periodic surge in his current level; but, aside from that I'm quite demur, for the most part.

But that Mudboy character?
We old timers know; because, we hear the loud crack of a hand being firmly applied against his face all the time, around these parts.

...we don't call this guy a "Greased Eel" for nothin', y'know.

Awesome, dude...Gonzo's taken a much higher profile lately, hasn't he?! Wonder what the Motor City Madman has up his sleeve...MUD
