\nEricBrooks.Com\u00ae – Cuz I’d run over a kitten just to entertain you.\u2122<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Klondike Kate<\/strong> stopped by yesterday, to review the recent controversy for her Sunday bounce-a-thon feature (Much like my “Newz & Gossip” section, except I don’t have the time to deal with petty details like “research” and “the facts”.) Here’s what she says:<\/p>\n

“I understand you Eric, especially after I read hours and hours of your tar-and-feathering incident on many different sites. Curiosity finally won and bid me to take a gander at both the offended party’s site and your site to see what all the hoopla was about. (BTW? I had a lot of fun at your site. You have cool shit to give away, you embrace life with big sweaty arms…)”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Big sweaty arms???
\n*sniff sniff*
\nokay… well she says more…<\/p>\n

“And what did I find? I think you are a smart-ass, just like me. You possess a wicked, irreverent wit which oozes out of every pore. You are a pestering pixie, a mischievous leprechaun, a spirited sprite. You thrive on danger as you skateboard down the railing, whizzing past our heads in a rush of air”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wow. It’s like she’s known me all my life! :0)<\/p>\n

So now, Kate has inspired me to find a way to lay tribute to all of my friends who have said nice things about me this week… without causing trouble.<\/p>\n

“Hang in there E, we know you’ve offended lots of good folks… and we love you for it ” – Daphne, Villa Santiago<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Eric made a wiseass comment (uh, AS USUAL. Nothing new there, folks.)” – Angel A. Fish, KissMyFish.Net<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Eric is the kind of guy that prefers to use gasoline when putting out fires so they burn really bright before going away. Asinine, perhaps, but not racist.” – John, Linkworthy<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Eric may be a stupendously outspoken jackass, sure, but racist? Hardly. He’s an equal-opportunity misanthrope.” – Graham, Virulent Memes<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“I myself have called Eric many, many names ;), but racist? Never even crossed my mind.” – Lee, of Dailee (in Faith’s comments)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“So that was the spirit the comment was intended in. I knew this instantly when I read it, because I know E very well. He is one of the finest people I have ever known. Period.” – Maria, Dayzed & Confused<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There was more… and I’ll add them later.<\/p>\n

(Past commentaries…)<\/strong><\/p>\n

“If Don Rickles were a web author, he might come up with something like this. Otherwise impossible to describe. Addictive, in a guilt-inducing fashion.” – Jeffrey Zeldman, Exit Gallery<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“If an asteroid were to hit the earth, it would hit Eric Brooks’ House. It wouldn’t stop him or slow him down.” – Alan Herrell, Pixelview Interview<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For reasons that completely elude me… YOU PEOPLE LOVE ME!!!!
\n(I think.)<\/p>\n

I kinda rule the latest mess more of a “cultural” thing than a “racial” one… Americans get me. Australians get me. Canadians get me. Brazilians get me. Colombians get me. You guys rule!<\/p>\n

Most of Europe (particularly parts of the the U.K.) never seem to understand where I’m coming FROM (ok, except Germany and the Netherlands… you guys FUCKING ROCK!!!).<\/p>\n

Why is that? And did I leave out any of the other countries that appreciate mean-spirited pricks like me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
