Well, Willow, I cannot tell a lie: fact is, I got led astray, with vodka. Not my usual tipple at all, and I had decidedly too much of the stuff, in harmless-tasting cocktails, yum yum. So then it suddenly seemed very important to go online and tell people (online), in all-caps and in no uncertain terms, how important it is to get offline. Made perfect sense at the time.

Mea culpa, and apologies all round.

I had you down as a whisky man, Mac....Image

Scotch Drink

Food fills the wame, an' keeps us leevin;
Tho' life's a gift no worth receivin,
When heavy-dragg'd wi' pine an' grievin;
But, oil'd by thee,
The wheels o' life gae down-hill, scrievin,
Wi' rattlin glee.

...is sceptical about an "untrained", unmanaged, collective, embodied effort by the Great Unwashed?

Quelle surprise!

Presumably what they're lacking is a Worshipful Master.


Yeah, that guy is a total tool and a troll, never offering anything positive and just being a petty annoyance whenever the opportunity presents itself to make snide one-liners. Basically what you would expect from someone with that name.


Whereas you are oh so positive. Hey, I don't have the spare time to compose long diatribes; besides, it's your job to entertain me, not counterwise. So fuck you, fat boy.

I don't know, Mac. Given that the internet has turned out to be the greatest surveillance tool ever conceived, your recommendation to "get offline" makes a hell of a lot of sense.

They've been down there four years
& they're --

all other legislation they wanted to bring up
they brought it up

& gotten it out of the way
& now they bring up you.

And now, they bring up you.

You put them first & they put you last....
