Feeling all “D’oh”

    "D’oh"

    I misdialed this afternoon and was rewarded by a talk with Doc Searls.  Doc has some window seat photos of Madison up on FlickR and I could see our place from the high resolution shots.  The barn roof shows clearly in a couple of them, and the farm is clearly visible west of the Waubesa marsh.

    After that I called Dean to talk about taking a couple of comments (his and mine) down in our recent "Miracle of the Latkes" exchange (that’s pronounced "latkuhs" according to Dean).  Now I’ve decided to leave them up, but Dean cuts pretty close to the bone in identifying rural Amurican anti-semitic bullshit, and I have a hard time with satire around these issues.  "D’oh…"

    Anyone want to hum a few bars of "Feelings" with me?

    I’m humming …

    I have a hard time with satire around these issues too, Frank. I like how you pronounce the latkes though.

    I was going to say “You’re both saints”, but I’d better not. ‘Humorists’ might be a better word.

    It’d be a pity to take down the comments, Frank. Dean’s a great and passionate writer and person and his comment expresses much.

    Besides, we all understand your recidivist nature and forgive you for it…frequently.

    I am, of course, referring to your satirical streak :).

    Gorsh!

    I’m blushing all over. Even the h _ _ n s — no, scratch that!!!!
