If Hitch Weren't So Fat, He'd Roll Over in His Grave

Here is the long/short of it. I did not intend to 'out' anybody. I was smiling when I writ' 'How dare you!' I thought that was obvious. I was surprised by the L7 and laughed out loud, which is something I usually only do at my own posts. I was slapped for a Hitchcock joke -- and one I didn't even tell!

Amen, Amen, I say to you, but if that situation does not deserve an outing, what does? I guess it never occured to me that what I was doing might be improper. If I could only have had the wisdom and grace of a CoasterMatt or a Kevinbaby, then I could have forseen this event. But, then, I thought it was funny and my rule in life is always go for the funny.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I throw myself at your kind hearts & mercy.

I am not here to hurt anybody feelings, certainly not Prudence. I bear no grudge against she. Indeed, when CP zinged me a few years ago, I was angry, but later I realised that she had been right, I had been insensitive. So, I threw her some positive mojo back and then I took a long posting break. (And it was good.)

So what can a poorboy do, but either be a delicious sandwich, or saddened by this whole ugly chapter of LoT. Fact is, if we dropped mojo and L7's from LoT to-morrow, I would not mourn its passing. It has its place, I suppose, but not if we take it all so seriously.
