Blog war continues

Dear Ass,

It's been too long. I hope this post finds you relatively cogent. I suggest you find another vulgarian to read it to you very slowly, using the simplest of terms so that you may at least partially understand.

I find myself strangely compelled to respond to your ludicrous offer to me of a so-called olive branch. Sir, you may affix that bough into an orifice of your own choosing.

Should I apologize for any of my actions over the past 15 months? I think not.

Did I poison you, appropriate your vermin-infested home and put your cat in the microwave? If you remember these incidents in that way, so be it. Were you not deranged and your brain not a wormwood-adled sponge sopping with stale beer, you might remember that it was Mr. Dodger who poisoned you at my behest and Mr. Player who put your loathesome felines into the microwave in defense of my priceless polar bear rugs, from which your foul creatures had removed the eyeballs and defiled with vomit. Oh, how soon we forget.

May I also remind you that these two faithful servants of mine were brutally murdered by your associates, the inpenetrable Karl and the deleterious duchess of the deep? May I also remind you that the ghost of Mr. Player was then deceitfully turned against me, as was the ghost of My Dear Dead Friend Truman, by your absurd "team" of bloggers. Your memory, sir, and I use that term in the loosest possible of ways, is quite selective. Have you not a shred of decency?

Need I remind you that some of these very same individuals, thanks to the chicanery of the crows, are blundering their way through the past in a futile attempt to blot out my very existence? The shame, sir, is yours.

Am I to apologize for scattering your pack of dour associates? I think not. For hunting the green toad and poisoning your dear duchess? No, again. Next, I suppose you shall chastise me for hunting polar bears as well and turning them into rugs -- rugs, which I might add, were animated and turned against me as well!

Am I to apologize for banishing the poor from Allentown to live in the woodlands and building a wall to keep them out? I believe those people would still be happily foraging about in the verdant forest had the Spanish Armada not poked holes in the wall with their cannonballs. Oh, and about the Armada ... who was responsible for that hapless ancient fleet's return from its watery grave? You were, sir. You and your pet sea monster.

Am I to apologize for eating the human contents of several LANTA buses as if they were boxes of Goobers? Perhaps. But have you never been hungry? Chewy on the outside, yet gooey on the inside, with a divine hint of crunch. In my defense, those buses are habit forming.

Am I to apoligize for eating my half-brother Ronan? Do not judge me, sir, lest you yourself be judged.

Am I to apologize for the impalement of the code enforcement officers, deliverymen, process servers, Mormons, political candidates, direction seekers and flan sellers who found their way to my doorstep? I think not. Impalement is my cultual imperative. It has been widely practiced for centuries on the grounds of my various castles, chalets and yurts. My privacy is precious to me.

Am I to apologize for the destruction of Allentown? Don't hold your breath. Others were involved, Ronan/Cuchulainn, The Armada, Santa Claus, Gabriel and, most importantly, St. Michael the So-Called Archangel to name but a few. There is blame a'plenty to share and I'll accept none of it.

Lastly, sir, let me say this. I am the injured party in these matters. I have been wronged and I will most assuredly claim my retribution. No one, and let me be perfectly clear in this, no one calls Marge poopyhead.

In fact, sir, when I am through killing the dubious St. Michael the So-Called Archangel, an important task from which you are distracting me at this very moment and for which you shall pay dearly, I intend to reoccupy your premises and impale you at the top of the PPL Tower. You shall watch as I feed your wretched cats to my wolverines. You shall be dismembered and become food for peregrine falcons -- if they will have you, which I doubt. Any parts of you that remain will be squashed like insects and reimpaled on tiny skewers and fed to fire ants, which I intend to import in vast quantities. I will hunt down your associates and impale them as well. I will feed them to the crows, which I will then make extinct, after roasting their leaders on my rotisserie and enjoying them for lunch with an iced bottle of pino grigio. Those associates of yours who are already ghosts will be dispatched to hell by my recent associate, Mr. Sam Zell. I am told coach Tom Landry has a position open on his team there for Mr. Player.

I will continue to destroy Allentown until not a brick is left standing. I will also use your Secret Room to convey myself into the past where I will destroy Allentown again and again, impaling, eating, crushing and microwaving as I go, provided, of course, the microwave will function in the past. I may need an extension cord; I shall make a note of that. When destroying the past becomes tiresome I will travel to Parallel Time and destroy it as well.

That, sir, is my apology.

Sincerely,

Marge

Détente in blog war?????

I have been asked by a client to post the following correspondence:


As I embark on what I fear will be a fateful journey into Parallel Time, I would like to make amends to those whom I may have hurt in my previous life.

Specifically, Marge.


It cannot be denied that Marge has committed some questionable acts over the past year or so, eating or impaling many innocent people and destroying Allentown among them. But in the interest of peace I am willing to put all of that aside, offer an olive branch and begin anew.

This blog war between Marge and me has gone on for too long. I'm man enough to admit my mistakes and will do anything in my power to end the hostilities that have injured us all -- all of us except for, perhaps, Marge. This needless fighting has taken a great toll and it is time for it to stop. I can see that now.

In that spirit I would like to apologize to Marge for banning her from this blog and for calling her a poopyhead. There, I've said it! I've been liberated from the chains of animosity!

I sincerely hope Marge will accept this apology and forgive me. Also, I hope she doesn't kill me, or eat me, or impale me. Or crush me like an insect. Or poison me, leave me for dead, steal my house or put my cats in the microwave again.

Sincerely,

Atown-Liker

Shoulda put a ring on it

This is taking forever.

Time works differently here. You should know that.

But still .... Jeez. It takes St. Michael a month to walk five blocks??

You've got incursions from Parallel Time into Regular Time, and vice versa. That takes a toll. There's an alternate timeline now. That screws things up. Plus, the crows are up to something. ... You just gotta be patient.

I'm sure glad we didn't waste a reporter on this Final Battle Between Good and Evil of yours.

Yeah, we needed the manpower for the Taylor Swift story. She's local! She used to live just 60 miles away!

Kanye ruined her moment! Just ruined it! ... And he has yet to offer a proper apology!

That is just wrong! Sir, have you no decency?

Tasteless and undignified. He's a cad.

Indeed he is. ... Although, he was right about the Beyonce video.

Oh man! She's like, I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
On me tighter than my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drinkin my cup
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Dont pay him any attention
Cuz you had your turn
And now you gon learn
What it really feels like to miss ...


... Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh

Let's get outta here.

If it smells like a damn duck ...

Time to finish with you.


Bring it, bitch.

Define baryogenesis.



Barry O'who?

It's not a who. It's a scientific term. Define it now or burn in hell!


Wait! I'll define it. Ask him something else.


As you wish. Who holds the NFL record for touchdown catches.



I caught 20 passes in one game in 1997!

That's not what I asked.

I'd have the damn record if Montana, Young, Garcia, McNabb or Romo woulda thrown me the damn ball!




Answer the question.

If it smells like a damn duck it's a damn rat!

Answer the question or burn in hell!

Mm. bll. sss.

I didn't hear that.

RICE! Jerry Damn Rice, OK?



Thank you. You may proceed to the second stall.


Well, it looks like it's just the two of us, Old Donovan. ... In physical cosmology, baryogenesis is the generic term for hypothetical physical processes that produced an asymmetry between baryons and antibaryons in the very early universe, resulting in the substantial amounts of residual matter that make up the universe today.

Newman knows you are coming, Agent Bauer.

Flush those two. We need to talk.

Humuhumunukunukuapuaa burnin' love


In an abandoned comfort station buried deep beneath the burning ruins of Renaissance Square, a group of brave travelers confronts Old Donovan, the protector of the last remaining conduit to Parallel Time. Rudolph and Gen. Trexler have failed the test and paid with their eternal souls. The Little Angel has been banished to The Macungies. Atown-Liker must spell humuhumunukunukuapuaa or face the consequences.

You want to buy a vowel?

Yes, a vowel please.

Fine. You shall have your vowel, but at a cost: Your eternal soul. You will have only one question.

Sweet! I'll take a U.

Very well. Your soul is mine.

Um, about that. There's some ongoing litigation involved. ... But you can have whatever's left.

Here is your word: -u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u--u--. Spell it now!

Hmmm. I'd like to buy an H

You cannot buy an H. An H is not even a vowel!

Oh yeah? Then how come you say something is an honor instead of a honor? Why do you call someone an heir or an heiress and not a heiress. The article an goes before a vowel!

You are doomed, and a fool as well. H is a consonant. In this case it's silent so the an to which you refer applies to the second letter in the word: O

Oh.

But you may have your H. You'll never spell the word anyway. Here is your word: hu-uhu-u-u-u-u-u--u--.

I'd like a lifeline, please.

A lifeline? There are no lifelines!

I'd like to poll the audience.

Poll ...? Fine, whatever. Audience?

I don't know and I don't care, bonehead. That freak dumped some smelly old beans on me!

Humuhumunukunukuapuaa. It's spelled h-u-m-u-h-u-m-u-n-u-k-u-n-u-k-u-a-p-u-a-a. It's a fish. It can be used as a weapon.

What, are you on drugs? ... I'd like to solve the puzzle.

Puzzle?

What is hunka hunka burnin love?

I don't understand you. He was right. He spelled it right!

Final answer!

Fine. You are the weakest link. Off to hell with you, though I'm not sure I even want you in my hell.

Hold on there, Old Donovan!

Now what?

I believe this man just asked you a question. And I didn't hear any answer. According to the Troll Bridge Commission bylaws, if he asks you a question, you have to answer it. Otherwise, he gets to go to Parallel Time.

Yeah! What he said!

Question? I answered his question. The H is silent.
What is hunka hunka burnin love?

I have no idea.

Then it looks like the wrong person may be going to hell. Let me recite for you Chapter 6, Section 4, Paragraph 3 of the bylaws of the Troll Bridge Commission, from memory: "Herein be it resolved that the aforementioned Bridge Troll, henceforth to be known as the party of the second part ..."

Stop! Stop or you all go to hell right now!

What's it gonna be Donovan?

Damn you all! ... All right. This one may pass to Parallel Time. The party of the first part shall wait for me in the second stall. ... These two still have more questions to answer.

I'd like Door No. 1, please.
