Ni! Ni! Ni!

Or else we will continue to harangue you about it.

And you know how irritating that could become.
Karen | Homepage | 10.22.03 - 5:46 pm | #

Or else ... what?
Mark | Homepage | 10.22.03 - 5:21 pm | #

Oh, he's called me in to add weight to his threat. Now you should be really scared.

Um... yeah... enter the competition, or else.

KAREN!

I knew this day would come, D.

The thin veneer of cordiality has finally been replaced, as I suspected it would, by outright threats.

Tsk, tsk.

It would only count as architectural input if said marble column was inserted somewhere.

I hope you're entering the Guardian's best written category. I know enough about you to enter you if you don't. Not a threat merely a... yes, a threat. Fine.

Thanks for your architectural input, D.

Mark deserves a column. A very large marble one, dropped right on top of him in a most comical fashion.

I believe Mark is asking for some newspaper editor to find this site and offer him a daily column.

I'll bet that mark notices things and talks to himself just as much as the rest of us.
Just, perhaps, better.

Doug - you mean "D", not "Mr.D"?

I'm with Mr D, if this excellent series does not require monumental labour, a Faustian pact or just utter dereliction of the duties of your employment - then I will gladly join the queue to clout you with a typewriter.

Even without the merest hint of boasting, such a prodigious display of consistently good writing is, well, asking for it.

How much time DO You spent thinking these things up and committing them to your blog? It's not a bad thing, I am just wondering where you find the time.

Hurrah for Ben Affleck hair shampoo ad bashing! (and for using "until his ears bleed", one of my favourite expressions).

Hmm. "Equanimous".

I'll have to try very hard to remember that one ...
Mr.D. | Homepage | 10.20.03 - 12:54 pm | #

i thought you did have all the answers. where else would all this art come from?

(...methinks i may be leaving too much room for D to respond with accusations of content theft. except that he's being strangely complimentary today.)

"seemingly seamlessly" now that's craftsmanship that is.

I hate you. I really, really hate you. Tell me you sweat bullets over writing this stuff, please. Cause if it's effortlessly effervescently entertaining like this I may have to bludgeon you to death with a typewriter.
