Wow… after reading John’s latest post, it sure flooded me with memories.<\/p>\n
Truth be told, I’ve avoided Metafilter like the plague for some time, as it just seems to have become a pit of vipers over the years. People saying things to each other that you know they’d be swallowing their teeth in a real-life situation.<\/p>\n
John’s noted how in a GROUP with 17151 members, I’m like old skewl, yet I’m still a Johnny-come-lately compared to him.<\/p>\n
He wrote some nice things about me, and everyone takes John for granted so I’m gonna reciprocate:<\/p>\n
John Namest – Observant and a cynical as they come. Hilarious poetry on demand. Willing to discuss politics with my boss to a standstill, while the rest of us wussed out. (I could have been fired… but it was a chance John was willing to take.) :0)

\nAlways ready with a snappy comeback. And if I can be dubbed The Don Rickles of the Web, then this guy has to be CyberSpace’s answer to either George Carlin or (I really think he’s more like) Robin Williams.<\/p>\n
This has inspired me to dip my toes in the pirhana tank once more. If John can do it, and Crazy Uncle Joe can do it… dammit, I’m no wuss! A simple comment. Nothing profound… but given the subject how could I resist?<\/p>\n
I know Norway was a big supporter of the war… but a nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize for Bush and Blair? ROFLMAO!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
