I decided to go with an old favorite instead of Narnia. All I know of Narnia thus far is The Lion, the Witch and the Warddrobe. My mother-in-law gave me the complete set of paperbacks last Christmas but I haven't read 'em yet. I just realized I didn't name any names in my poem but I know you'll figure out which book inspired it!

Wow, thanks! What an awesome way to begin my "Monday" (my first day back at work after three days off). It means a lot to me to receive compliments from such incredible writers. I admit, I put more thought into Missed than I usually put into most of my poems. It took me longer than five minutes to write it! <BR>
<BR>
But it's not that hard for me to write a poem about characters that I love so much. Catherine and Heathcliff are my favorite literary lovers.<BR>

At the risk of jumping onto the bandwagon here, I want to heap some more praise on "Missed". Simply fabulous, girlfriend! I daresay it is the poetic equivalent of Judy at Carnegie Hall circa 1961. Roger might substitute the Village People but, either way, darling, it's a compliment. Moi? Back here at the ranch things are going swimmingly. Roger and I are back together---yes, he seems to have forsaken his boytoy illusions. At least for the time being. I suppose that makes me "Mr. Good-Enough-For-Now"! Well that's good enough for me. Glad to see the Blender getting back to normal; it is just so tragic to see such obviously disturbed individuals use a great site such as this as their personal plaything. (And the obvious homophobic overtones of their remarks were highly troubling as well.) Anywho....La de da and ta ta for now, kiddies!

Say kids, check out a DVD called "Chet Baker's Last Concert" with Elvis Costello and Van Morrison.  Elvis sings the fab "You Don't Know What Love Is" and there is a great interview of Chet with Elvis.  Then, four days after they filmed the piece, Chet either jumped or fell out of a Paris hotel room window.  What a guy....single best crooners voice I ever done heer'd ('cept fer mebbe Mel Torme).

Jack, eh? Always knew you were a Schitt. Bottom line: Why don't you just, like, go away? This has been said before, and I don't know why I bother saying it again, but why not leave this site to those who actually, oh, I dunno, CARE about it? A novel idea, huh? See, there are several ways to deal with Net parasites such as yourself, none of which, alas, are entirely successful. One can create sound-alike usernames with the intent of making the Original Idiot look ridiculous. That works - up to a point. Takes an inordinate amount of effort, though. And it's also pseudo-identity theft - apt to rightly upset the Webmaster. The best tact is the simplest, however: just ignore them. This has been the approach taken by most longtime regulars here, and I have much respect for it. Problem is, not enough others have followed suit. I speak for no one - simply myself - but I suspect more than a few others here agree with me. Is it too much to ask certain individuals to just grow up? Seek therapy? Or, if these things aren't possible, simply leave? Yeah, it's too much to ask...
