[Tom Scharpling]

Yeah, and we do it for free. Which leads me to my next question. One I have to ask myself.

Tick, tick, tick....

Tom.

[Sarah]

Shame on you, Andy.  Is this how friends treat each other?

[Andy]

surely you guys know that it's a joke.  I figured it was so over the top that nobody would think that it was real.

[Sarah]

Yes, but it's the kind of joke that can hurt.  And Tom is feeling jaded enough right now, it seems to me, without getting this on the board.  It's not that I subscribe to an "our leader, right or wrong" approach to the show; it's just that your post struck me as something that could wound if one were feeling low.

[dave from knoxville]

Dude-on-dude love? Yeah, Andy, great joke. It can't last forever, so we ought to do what we can to end it even earlier, eh?

Damn.

[Jason]

I thought it was funny.

[moonshake]

That's really cruel and unfunny... a bad time for jokes like this.

[Andy]

That's really cruel and unfunny... a bad time for jokes like this.

cruel? 

[Tom Scharpling]

Don't sweat it. I'm fine. Nobody's going anywhere.

Tom.

[Dorvid Barnas]

I'm sorry if that hurt anyone's feelings, but it seemed pretty harmless and funny to me, Andy.

[Sarah]

I thought it was funny but mean-spirited.

[Stan]

I thought it was funny but mean-spirited.

 I thought it was mean-spirited but funny.

I thought it was funny.

 There's a shocker.

[evan (giggles)]

i thought it was funny. and, for the record, i'm not the evan in that recap. that evan gives the rest of us evans a bad name.

[moonshake]

Phew! Now I wish I'd have just shut up.

I took it way too seriously.
