brilliant post. it should be quoted far and wide. groundbreaking work in the astrophysics of the diamond line cutting thru space.

nice work.

it’s no fool that’s writing Background Noise – another excellent article. a good read, revealing and thought provoking.

McG's right: the kid can lay it down.

shit, guys. you're making me blush. :)

i appreciate the kind comments. wait 'til next week when i'll expound on the similarities between poetry and evolution! Darwin best be ready...

Justin:

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your post. Dude, Frimp is really going to be on your ass now.

j.b said...

thanks Luis,
i was afraid of Frimp, but it turns out (just as you'd suspect by him name) that's a bit on the tiny side. he goes about 4'11" and no more than 115 pounds. i had a hemorrhoid bigger than him once. :)

Frimp here:

I might be small but I have the all the power and might of the Lord and His Armies on Earth to make sure you call your mother on mother's day and don't forget your anniversary, you stinking hippies.

you will respect me and the NSA.

or else.

end transmission

j.b said...

man, what attitude.

i'll call my mom, don't worry. and i'd never forget my anniversary.

i am curious, though.

or else what? i like to weigh my options...

j.b said...

and oh yeah, Agent Frimp (if that is indeed your real name), regarding your usage of hippie when referring to us "liberals" and "open-minded" folks, you might be interested in this little piece i recently read.

carry on.

Luis said...

Perhaps you can challenge Frimpie to a basketball game: if Frimpie loses, he'll stop eavesdropping: but if he wins, I hate to think what he'd want. Remember that in Space Jam, those little guys got pretty big.

j.b said...

oh man, i'd own him. i'm tall and wiry. pretty decent baller, too. old Frimpie is named that because he's short and squat. literally like a fire hydrant.

love that hippie post...I think Frimp and Tommy and Agent .45Freedom all have "issues," serious "issues" with their physical selves: Tommy, I hear, was raped by a family of rabid, hook horned, flightless nutdiggers when he was only 35 years old, and Frimp, poor bastard, was actually born a woman, but with all male genitalia, two sets. the surgery went awry and now he is the angry eunich you know and love. no one has ever seen Agent .45Freedom, but I have it on the highest authority that he is a monkey. a real monkey, with a tail and everything.

NOW you see why things are fucked up, right? sure....

Luis said...

shit, man, are you serious? perhaps these guys are shape-shifters. certainly, they have no regards for other's privacy.

j.b. perhaps you can posterize Frimp-sandwich, but you've got to watch your knees, he might not play fair, or is he a she, I don't know.

U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A.

enjoy

j.b said...

i would posterize her. Frimpette is no match for the j.bster.

funny post, Chris. a monkey. a he-she eunuch and one raped by hook-horned nutdiggers. jeez, they're a motley lot.

hilarious.
