[QUOTE=OneCentStamp] Two words for you: **Legs. Spleen.** 🙂 [/QUOTE] Here you go dumdum, I just copy and pasted from the other time I had to explain this: This is essentially a picture of me and my best friend. She’s really really tall and has really long thin legs. So I just teased her and called her “Legs” and eventually it caught on. Her last name is Kehoe. Self explanatory. She decided that I should have a body part nickname too. The trouble with that is I’m 5’4 and proportional and one part of my body doesn’t stick out like her and her legs. So she picked something on my insides. Spleen. King is my last name (please don’t find me and kill me now) so it just went from Spleen King to “the Spleen King” hence the crown. I actually get a ton of mail addressed to this name. Legs lives in another state and so one thing we have that we can torment each other with is signing each other up for wacky free shit in the mail. 1000 Japanese Condoms addressed to Legs Kehoe? Free information packets on STDs addressed to Spleen King? A free video from the Hair Club for Men for Legs? Its all been done. ---

[QUOTE=lobstermobster] I’m missing something… I didn’t get the joke [/QUOTE] It wasn’t that much of one. I made a joke, a sort of sly remark and nothing like the over-the-top, appeal to the mass-market, least-common denominator joke which **bbs2k** followed up, all based on my original humor, not just some old copy-cat shit, but who got the laughs from the girls? (I’m under the impression from somewhere that **Ninja** is a woman.) And fuck no, I’m not bitter. ---

[/QUOTE] I never claimed to have invented “sexiled” I actually stole it from _I am Charlotte Simmons_ by Tom Woolf. I have two blogs actually. One is just regular personal blog and the other is just about my thoughts about issues in animal testing in medical research. Both of these only have two entries before I just forgot about it. I really want to try to keep up with my animal blog though. I like having an outlet to gibber about it. ---

_pokes you on the shoulder_ “He doesn’t like you.” “I’m sorry.” “I don’t like you either. You just watch yourself. We’re wanted men. I have the death sentence in twelve systems.” At this point, the angry guy comes over and cuts him in half with his broom. ---

I believe we are witnessing the birth of a new internet art form. Hand illustrated journalism. It has that ground level everyman feel to it. It has an inimitable “art of the ordinary” quality that won’t survive sophistication, or polish. **LobsterMobster** , you are the pioneer of a new era in human expression! Thanks.
