Ak's post below reminded me of Harold Pinter, one of the letter writers to the guardian. His contribution,
Dear President Bush,
I'm sure you'll be having a nice little tea party with your fellow war criminal, Tony Blair. Please wash the cucumber sandwiches down with a glass of blood, with my compliments.
Harold Pinter
Playwright
That Harry Pinter. Don't forget your HAZ-MAT suits if you go there long. Oh by the way, a strange similarity I happened to notice,
Harry.
And a close relative.
Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction. Stuck up mock intellectuals are the strangest of all. Half his website is devoted to glowing reviews by groveling toadies, the other half devoted to his own glowing reviews of himself, his life and his glorious works, of which not one in twenty people can name more than one.
This guy should marry a mirror.
UPDATE--
I have sinned, insulted the kingdom of rats, and those who care for them. I officially and formally apologise to the good LC Victor. Now put down the torchs,....
I'll be good,............for a while anyway.

Posted by: LC Victor on November 19, 2003 02:36 PMI'm glad to hear from you again Victor, and please accept the following.
I'm soooo sorry, I will fix it imediately and never transgress again. I will change the picture and give my little girls hamster a special treat in atonement.
I have lapsed into to old anti-rat paranoia and will make amends today.
Please aceept my apology Victor.

Hamsters, gerbils, same thing.

Posted by: Mark (puggs) on November 19, 2003 09:17 PMPuggs, I gotta admit--the cockroach pic woulda made me spit stuff all over my monitor had I been drinking something.
Ask AK--He and I would rather cavort with rats than with a left-wing leaning commie pinko jerk anyday.
