Excellent. You are clever, oh so clever, to deflect my suspicions by volunteering, **Wintermute**. It must be some sort of ruse. But never fear, my robot operatives shall have the truth out of you in no time. Hans! Viggo! Prepare the shark pit and the 5 ton crate of extra spicy fried pork skins!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

So who’s my new friend, **SPOOFE**?

Bah. You have “an” enemy. So what?

I want to know who _ **THE** _ enemy is for you. The one person on earth you’ve sworn to destroy. The single creature stalking the planet to whom you would scream in anger, “Fie upon you, foul thing! One day I will slake my thirst with the juice of your entrails! You shall taste my wrath and my excrement in equal doses until your diseased, black heart no longer beats its evil tattoo!”

Mine’s Ernest Borgnine. Who’s yours?

Nooooo! Not extra spicy! Anything but extra spicy!

I’ll never tell you, never! Do what you will, you evil fiend!  
You know, I am probably enjoying being tied up just WAAYY too much!

Apologies for the hijack, SPOOFE.

Well, I thought of the best way to draw out my stalker… if he is who I’m almost positive he is, then he’s not the smartest cookie in the jar, nor does he have the most self control. So I edited the guestbook entry (I love having that power) to see if it manages to come up with any sort of reaction…

Wouldn’t that be kind of like, I dunno, drinking shit? I don’t think that’s the kind of thing you should scream at someone to scare them, but hey, that’s just me.

Unless you were standing really, really close to them. That might do the trick. They’d probably run away, anyhow.

Yeah, but I think it loses something if you say “One day I will slake my thirst with the juice that gathers on the outside of your entrails, which is specifically _not_ liquid shit!”

And you should listen to Sauron. That big flaming eye thing he does is downright creepy. And he’s from Alabama, so he knows about evil.

Tiny minds _are_ fun to play with, aren’t they?

[sub]Is there any back story you can share publically with us on this clown? I’m finding myself drawn into this little psychodrama.[/sub]
