There are a lot of redundancies in there and not every one of those is a message board post, but still, that puts things in a different light.

I just now saw what you shared here and to me there is no resemblance. That shot of James is over four years old anyways.

Can you call me JOSH? Sure! I have always thought that its a great name for a male! 🙂 🙂 🙂

To answer your second question, a hint was not needed because I keep track of everywhere that I have left a message about James at. Yeah, my going to so many may make me a bit of a spam person, but if it does, I am nothing like the normal spam people. If you check out Miranda Lambert’s official website message forum, you might see how bad it gets contaminated with real spam. To me, what sets me a part from that is the fact that I only just get one chat about James started, I have it be in the appropriate area of the forum that I am getting it started at, and I actually get in on other chats that are there, the ones that are about other things that I am interested in anyways when regular spam people don’t bother to even do such a thing. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

God bless you two and James and Miranda always!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Is anybody else waiting for **Ponch8** to show up in this thread so we can find out how James Otto and Ke$ha feel about each other? Or is it just me? 😃

Ke$ha is a current pop-singer, pretty well-known, but I’m surprised you don’t know who James Otto is. [Here’s some info on him](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=674018).

I was kind of hoping [deeward](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=109964)would reanimate so we could have a Otto! No, Humperdink! gang fight.

They did too say, but if you need more, here’s [more](http://www.keshasparty.com/us/home).

**Ponch8** was (is?) a poster who is a big devotee of Ke$ha.

Okay, I’m going to shut this thread down, mostly due to all the spammy-type links, partly to due the obsessive-topic posting, and somewhat due to the fact that you’ve seemed to have crossposted these links on many different sites.

Don’t start another topic about this like you have here and you may be subject to warnings if you continue spamming.

There is nothing wrong with talking about your favorite singer, but if you really want to give him this level of dedication, perhaps a blog would be better suited.
