Skulking around the bloggers, ammo in hand, I spent last Saturday ambushing the feckless few who fell under my pen. They didn't ask for it (WHO WOULD?), but some things can't be negotiated.
A big hearty thanks to all you guys for letting me be a small part of your wonderous annual gathering in Helen, Georgia. I haven't been in the presence of such creative forces since my "hiatus" in a local asylum.
A special high five goes out to Sam and Zonker. You baby-sat the newbie and showed him The Blown-Eyed Way.
Can't wait to do it again.

Man, you fit right in. In all of about three minutes, you were one of the regular reprobates.
And a big thank you for reminding me that I am as homely as a bag off assholes.
Great stuff. Look forward to hanging with you again some time.
Jimbo

So, not only am I introduced to the Famous John Cox by having him spear me with a half-rubber fastball in the left nipple, he draws me looking like a white Hattie McDaniel…and then f**king posts it on his blog!
Gottdayum, bro…where does your beatnik ass live? Because you are gonna get hunted down by me.
Seriously, I really loved hanging with you. You’re a terrific guy…with a sick f**king sense of humor. Make sure you lock all your doors at night, and have 24-hour security.
PS: Between you & me, Jimbo is a homely bastidge, ain't he? Oh…Hi Jim! You cutie petutie, you.

Really fun meeting you and da guys. Now, if I can get my hands on a kevlar vest, maybe I can get some sleep.

Extremely well done, I recognize most all of those creatures, at least the ones I have might a time or two.

I haven't laughed this hard since Saturday night.
I know a place that has a surplus of military grade hummer armour. Don't know if I'd sleep well under the kevlar.

HEY ERIC
I'll bring the heat, next time. I have to admit, the junk I was serving up had about as much bite as a poodle on percodan.

"Hey, John...monkey."
"Huh?"
::thunk::
"WHAT THE HELL!"
Hehehe...good time, dude. I'm glad that you made it up and were able to spend some time experiencing the chaos of the Jawja Blodgers. Remember - not only can you not make this shit up, you don't NEED to make this shit up!

That's the last time I let anyone sketch me at 1:00 a.m.
Of course, I deserved worse, but I'm up on you 2-to-1.

Too much, guys!

Aw, John, when I met you at the Mushroom a couple months ago I knew - just knew - that you would be completely at home with this bunch of reprobates.
So glad you could make it - 'twas Big Fun!

It is always humbling to be in the presence of true talent. And, to actually have a chance to touch and artist's thoughts, was an honor beyond all. Rock on!

That's it. The diet starts tomorrow.
Regardless, I had a WONDERFUL time chatting with you. The Chicago offer is open-ended. (And I promise to leave the sharp objects at home if you decide to take me up on that!)

HEY OD
You betcha! Just a matter of when. That "cash thing" again.
The only things sharp I want around is your thoughts on Chicago. A wonderful surprise meeting you!

Fabulous. You captured the essence of the usual suspects perfectly. Sorry I missed the chance to meet you after all these years.

Apparently, I gained all sorts of cred with my son when he found out about you being in Helen with the blodgers.
I raised him right, of course.

For the love of Gott, please, post more stuff so you can bury this in your archives!
Gaaaaah.
:-)
Also, I have pictures I need to email you...assuming the address is somewhere on your page.
Lehitra, bro.
