Bill's Notes

[Industrialblog, April 11, 2006]
The Big Whatever
If you dissemble and I call you on it, and you can't accept being called on it, I don't tend to get upset. I tend to think you need to adjust your meds. Just so you know.

By the way, as far as a "defamation lawsuit," look up a Rule 12(b) motion. I could write the reply brief myself on a gin-soaked cocktail napkin and get a defamation suit dismissed.

That is all.

When did you last write about J? I haven't seen anything on this blog about her in quite some time.

This isn't about J.

Who else have you written about? There was that guy being advanced a fortune for a book on epistemology, and I recall that you had a minor spat with Harry, but beyond that you haven't even talked about people at all that I can recall.

Dude, seriously, if not defamation, then maybe libel or slander or miscegenation or pederasty. I got a dictionary, and I'm not afraid to use it.

It wasn't me. But trying to guess who it is would probably just fan the flames, right? Besides, the six-figure advance thing was supposed to happen in February, so that would either be something that did happen, or did not.

Of course it's not Harry! Harry's not exactly the litigation-happy kind.

I didn't expect a guessing contest. I'm not saying anything else.

For the record, you're never going to hear me accuse someone of miscegenation on this blog :) I mean, it should be encouraged ...

sound of rifling digital pages, looking up miscegenation.... OK Um, I know that I would never be seen as being politically correct, but, flying in the face of that, what is wrong with miscegenation? I remember some really hot black chicks from my college days... Or maybe you are encouraging miscegenation itself, not the accusing people of it.

I just like the sound of the word. It was tossed around as a criminal accusation against the main characters in "O Brother Where Art Thou" after it was revealed that one member of their band was black.

"Pederasty" I first encountered in "Bored Of The Rings", though it got some play in "The Big Lebowski" in the "pederast" form. When a friend of mine and his girlfriend saw "The Two Towers", in the scene where a village is sacked and som children are sent to Edoras to rport th attack, h and his girlfriend looked at each other and said "Pederast?"

So, umm, what wild accusation would sound funny? Obloquy? No, that's too close to "slander". Regicide?

Harry is the one making the accusations; I'm affirming the practice in general.

Could you watch using terms like "hot black chicks" on the blog. Saying "hot black chicks" attract perverts via google. I finally got rid of all those people searching for "whores in iceland". Now I'm gonna get all these people searching for "hot black chicks."

So remember, no "hot black chicks" mentions.

Heh, you shouldn't have said anything. Now I have a weapon. Oh, Ok, I promise not to mention HBCs any more. To tell you the truth, HBCs don't occupy much of my posting time.

I remember the quote from 'Oh Brother'. They couldn't have been implying that the 'Soggy Bottom Boys' were homosexual, could they? Soggy Bottom. Hmmm...

Wait! OH NO! Now this blog post has both the words "homos**ual" AND "HBC" in it!

Now you are going to get clicks for HHBC's.

Sorrrrryyyyy.

Best of luck with your HBC?
