I just hooked the podcast into one of the Macs at WMBR. Petey, you can count that one as a notch for line item 4, so long as you straighten up and fly right.

Petey,
When I was a lad, I thought it was cool to be "friends" with the sort of scofflaws that got you into this perdicament. But that's a dark road to head down.

As part of your rehabilitation, I suggest you cut this Bridge Troll and all other Bridge Trolls out of your life. These people are parasites, and until the Good Guys cut off their supply, the Bad Guys will persist.

You have the power, my friend. Say to these Bad Guys, "No more," and mean it, and act upon it.

Lets not forget this isn't the first probation Petey's been placed on.

As was already stated, Tom has ruled justly and with discression.

The penalty has escalated in relation to Petey's past indiscresions.

What will be next? Because we all know there will be a next time.

The spelling is interesting, though.

There are no moderators on this board and I'd like to keep it that way. Free discussion and comment should be unfettered and I understand that disagreements and feuds are bound to occur but that doesn't mean we should just say anything we like.
We should be focusing on making the FOT a real community, we shouldn't be excluding anyone and I don't want to see this board sinking into a popularity contest where people are dissuaded from posting because they get shit everytime they do.
This new board has been a real success so far, posting has doubled over the old board, so lets please not shit it up. Lets leave the old feuds on the old board.

I will continue to crab about spelling when I am so moved, I'm afraid.  Sorry, Jason.  My grumbling, however, will be equal opportunity, and my outbursts are relatively rare (mostly I just shudder and move on), so the only result will likely be occasional annoyance with me, not any grand rift.

Fair enough Jason, I'll avoid writing reactionary flame posts in the future.

Also, if I ever do a Listener Hour on WFMU, I promise not to make thinly veiled death threats against my ex wife or to give out information inappropriately obtained from the NJDMV database.

Sorry if I got pissy, but it definitely seemed like an unwarranted attack Stan. I know you're a good guy.
Sarah, sorry. I can see your post was innocent but coming right after Stan's it looked like you were giving him the old one two.
OK, flame away.

I can't wait for this one.

Well, I was, a little.  But I wouldn't have been able to resist making a crack about the spelling, regardless.  I mean, "discression" and "indiscresion" in a single post?  It would have required saintly discretion to let that one slide.

Changing the subject, I, too, am looking forward to Petey's song.  I'm hoping Petey will pattern it after one of Dylban's long, talky ballads.  "Motorpsycho Nitemare" was my favorite song when I was a kid--how about a take on that, Peter?

Not biting on that one.

If that's a reference to "Nitemare," that's how it appears on the album.  And it was a struggle to respect the original spelling, I can tell you. 

If, on the other hand, you're alluding to my early musical tastes, well, what can I say?  I blame it on the environment in which I was raised.  Tom Lehrer was another favorite, especially the bloodthirsty songs, like "I Hold Your Hand in Mine," "The Irish Ballad," "Oedipus Rex," and "The Masochism Tango."
