Hey Obey...
I just wanted to say we're cool...no offense taken. You were a bit snarky and obscure in your reference and I misunderstood what you were saying. I should have had you clarify before I replied.

Just interesting is all. You and Obey are good friends of mine.
He will see and be more than courteous.

A small exercise in miscommunication is all it was. I totally agree with you on Obey too...

Phew. I'm glad it's cleared up. I tend to be pretty hit-and-run these days so didn't see your first reaction and respond immediately. Sorry again.
It seems to happen to me about once a month around here - putting my big foot in my mouth in an exchange with some of my favorite people and then having to clear things up. It happened with Q, with Staebler, with Orlando, and now with you. Dunno, maybe has something to do with the full moon perhaps...
So thanks for posting this and putting my mind at ease. Have a good Sunday.

The guy's a right evil bastard, actually. Look close, and he's got a hook for a left front paw. Hard to describe how truly bad-tempered he is.
I mean, imagine CT... take away the celery... and replace it with broken pop bottles.
That's Obey.

Quinn - Obey DOES not do celery stalks!
If there is a lack of communication around here, I highly recommend p-mail instead of e-mail. There is much more substance and er... spirit ... in a well delivered p-mail.
By the way, nice job in the whining trenches today.
CT is still an ass-clown.

Don't feel slighted, LisB, it happens to the best of people.
During the Nixon/Watergate era, it turned out that Richard Nixon, in his paranoia, had compiled an "enemies list" with the names of prominent critics whom he saw as enormous threats to his presidency. It became a matter of prestige to be included on the list.
Humorist Art Buchwald wrote a column on the subject, detailing how he had complained bitterly to his wife that he had been left off the enemies list. "Don't worry, dear", he reported her as saying, "You'll always be an enemy to me."

But since it is your day if you want to fight we'll fight. :-P

I just wanted to make sure you saw this. The original thread has basically fallen off the radar now so that is why I did this post. You were courteous enough to give an explanation to begin with so I felt I should reply to that in some way, shape or form.

Now that you and the pug have patched up any misunderstanding you had, I think you two should get a room. Perhaps a quiet weekend in the Berkshires or the Alps. And I hope you won't take this the wrong way, but let me just add that I think you're both beautiful specimens of quasi-American bloggers.

The mountains? This time of year? I guess I never told you how much, especially as I have got older, I hate the cold peeg. Nice thought but I am thinking warm thoughts...seeing that we are seeing snow this early Autumn in Southern New England. ;-)

Say no more, say no more, nudge, nudge. I'm currently plotting routes south to old Mexico amigo. Perhaps you and the pug would care to join me?

Regarding foot in mouth.....Obey, I have decided it is a regular fallout of email, blogging, etc. What one writes, and how that is perceived by another can be miles apart. I know of two people who lost their jobs due to slights made in inter-office emails. Of course, politics played a huge part, but still, what one means vs. what a reader interprets is a strange thing. I think it is great, Libertine, that you made this post. This should be a fun place to express ourselves. I have been AWOL on TPM for a while as the flak can depress my whole day. On the flip side, there are some brilliant posts, replies, etc., which are very informative.

Sweet thread everyone! My 15 minutes of fame and glory!
;0)
Would love to go to Mexico with y'all, dress up in spandex and masks and wrestle... (I should stop musing aloud...)
P.S. Never listen to Q when it comes to advice about creative solutions in the absence of bottle-openers... aarg...

Ooooh... ...pugs in spandex...

...how COULD you?!

What is the greater offense? Pugs in plasticized pop cultural iconized get-ups? Or, that very bad machine-made rug against which those sweet pugs are displayed in plasticized cultural iconized get-ups?
A person, or a pug, has to find his or her angle of repose in this world. Where, in this image, is anything suggesting that repose?
Not riled, just asking.
