Subtle and sweet.... excellent stuff... Posted by: Mike S at February 8, 2003 07:40 PMI just pulled a muscle from laughing. Thanks a lot! [Serious aside] I wish I had an audio on that speech, I suspect the 'apology' on 'old' was done in that silky-sweet voice he uses when he's making one of his "just wait till I Really Get On Your Case" points. "Old" is certainly an endearment compared to something like "ancient history"... Posted by: Kathy K at February 8, 2003 08:17 PM The subtlety of this piece makes it one of Scott's very best! This is pure satirical genius!! Q: What do you get when you cross a French Poodle and a German Shephard? A: A litter of weasels of course! Posted by: John Lemon at February 8, 2003 11:45 PMOh , the man seems to be nicer to animals than human deings . Gee , what does that tell about him ??? He is closer to animals . I bet , he loves all the animals including WEASELS . LOL don't be afraid of WEASELAS because they're so sensitive !!!1 Posted by: tuilip at February 9, 2003 09:06 AMOh , the man seems to be nicer to animals than human deings .

Posted by: weirdbeard at February 9, 2003 10:35 AMTuilip, first of all learn to spell if you want to be paid attention. Remember 911! Posted by: billhedrick at February 9, 2003 12:39 PMyeah, Tuilip. If you really want to be taken seriously, you need to learn the following: 1. Two (2) spaces between sentences. This is a matter of personal style, but most people follow it. Ken Stein Posted by: Ken Stein at February 9, 2003 04:52 PMTulip, Tulip, Tulip. You are such a silly huperson. Logic took a vacation in your cranium. You need to brush up on the demp's playbook. Come on Guys...give Tuilip a break. It can be tough to write in English when your first language is French. Posted by: Robert at February 10, 2003 05:10 AMthanks Robert. Don`t be so quick to thank me Tuilip...don`t you recognize a sarcastic barb when you read one?? Posted by: Robert at February 10, 2003 07:56 AMHey tulip; are you from San Francisco? Jethus Chwistht, I bet you like bananas. Posted by: minniesucks at February 10, 2003 10:05 AMActually, while I find Tulip's ideas silly, if not outright contemptible, critiques of Tulip should be confined to the ideas presented, not mere ridicule of the style. Since this is the internet and you cannot see or hear the speaker, perhaps you are belittling the English ability of someone for whom English is a 3rd or 4th language. I'm bilingual, and I sincerely hope that when I use Chinese to convince someone, I will be judged on my content and not on my regrettably imperfect grasp of a very difficult foreign language.
