Wink The Savage and the Allegedly Savage

I think Spexx just said LJ gave it a real beating. You do that to egg whites, they get all white and foamy.

dude. there is NO point in instructing the over-dramatic on the finer points of humor. You sit at the cool table. spexx doesn't. that is the source AND the result of his tragic persona. I agree completely with your assesment of his failing, ....but if you'll notice...he assumes you are criticizing to hurt him instead of help. he's doomed to a life of envy and resentment. you're just rubbing it in.

spexx,.....what did you learn?

If one were to read a true streaming narrative from jimbo, wouldn't approximately every word be cock?

Edit: I meant every third word but upon reading the statement again I decided it was probably pretty close anyway.

Yeah- this "LJ Streaming Narrative" thing has already taken a nose-dive.

Back to the drawing board. Maybe I need to work on "LJ creative-nonfiction prose".

Or maybe I need to actually get some work done. Ummm...yeah. Work.
