Nah, you're not a skunk, Lou. Skunks stink.

Chris Burford, you're a prisoner of your own earnestness. Perhaps you might
spend a bit of time in self-analysis to uncover just why you're so
humor-impaired. It must have something to do with a fear of aggression,
don't you think? One of the funniest moments in the essentially sad
degeneration of M1 was when Jay Miles posted a "picture of Quispe" that
turned out to be Jerry Lewis. You, of course, got worked into a storm of
self-righteousness. Now, once again, you're in a high moral rage about
something that never happened. Chill out, doc.
