Dear protein wisdom readers and patrons:
On April 1, site visitor "Terry" became so enraged over one of contributor Janeane Garofalo's posts that he dashed off the following angry comment, now in the hands of management:
Good morning, jerk. You only wish you could write as well as that "hick", Lileks. Does your hatred of anything and anyone NOT in New York or West Hollywood really run this deep or is it simply an extension of your hatred for all things American. Sad little loser. That's going to eat you away inside. Have a nice day. Terry
We here at protein wisdom -- always solicitous of the feelings of our most dedicated readers -- have investigated Terry's complaint and have decided to terminate our professional relationship with Ms. Garofalo. We wish her well. But just so she knows, we will be keeping the Starburst variety pack she left in the bathroom, which is only fair given the inordinate amount of shaved Black Forest ham she pinched from our fridge.
protein wisdom further apologizes for any offense Ms. Garofalo's remarks may have caused readers not inclined to register their complaints publically, particularly those readers devoted to the quality work of both Mr. Lileks and Professor Reynolds.
Thank you for your continued support,
protein wisdom
Good God man … little did I realize the power of the written word. Now I suppose I’ll start hearing from people like that Michael Moore person or even, (Heaven forbid), that Brenda Streisand political consultant. What have I done?
Seriously, this is the first time I’ve ever been quoted and I have to admit … it’s a rush. Maybe I should look into this blogging stuff. Best,Terry
Jeff – One other thing … it’s he.Thanks, Terry
Terry, if you can misunderstand other people as humorously as you misunderstand, um, Janeane, I think you’ve got a bright future in blogging.
… c’mon, man, just teasing you.
As I’ve seen on a couple of other sites today… Doesn’t anyone look at the calendar any more?
I got fooled myself yesterday, even submitted a comment to Tim Blair that one of his joke posts might be, in fact, a joke. “The joke is got, TSI”, he responded. >:^/
Jeff – Just sent the following to Dodd at “Ipse Dixit” and wanted to keep you in the loop: Dodd – I know what the date was … but scroll up in Jeff’s archives for 4/1 and you’ll see other examples of this half-wit’s savagery. Note especially how upset she got when over-hearing an opinion she didn’t like. A ramekin of cocktail sauce down the shirt front? Ah, the open-mindedness of the liberal. All the best, Terry
this is going to be my favorite april fools ever. being archived, it’s the gift that will keep on giving.
uh…. ps
does Terry log on on the same laptop that Jeaneanne & co. do? practically unreal.
While I have my suspicions, he ain’t mine.
But if he didn’t exist, I’d have to invent him. To paraphrase somebody famous and, I think, French.
