I am flattered by the many offers to join the army of followers. Yes,even from those of you who evidently have not read a single blog, bio note, criticism,review, book list or 'writing' that I have posted on this besotted site.
But one more rule: I cannot accept as friends those who have no commonly recognized letters of the Anglicized alphabet in their name. Or those who have more than twenty five or thirty symbols and letters in their name. Sorry. I know I'm going back on my word to welcome the tired and displaced and illiterate. Tough shit! (resorting to the vernacular seems appropriate here).
And to some of the others--do you not realize that by joining my merry band of friends I then receive all kinds of links and messages to the rot you throw up on the screen? Giving me a slow pitch over the inside corner.
Even assuming that fifteen or twenty percent of you have unbridled masochistic tendencies, you are turning me into Mr.Hyde and Mr. Hyde. There is no Jekyll left. I'm now nightly trolling this damn site looking for people in the dark alleys of bloggery who can be attacked with little fear of retribution. Or even recognition that I'm attacking them--which really hurts. I used to troll for simple misuse or typos. Ha! Like two word Boggle now. Its now for postings that seem to have no point, no sense, and a giggly feel of "aren't I cute in my ignorance of anything with even a modicum of intelligence, let alone relevancy."
Now to those of you, and you know who you are, who I correspond with, hang with me. Sooner or later I will actually say something worth reading. I'll try to give you a warning.
cheers

A cute dog and a crabby disposition will only get you so far. How about some prose PEJ?

...but a cute dog with a crabby disposition can pretty much write his own ticket.
