The Sip’n Fly is da man [www.angelfire.com/me2/devohouse/index.html](http://www.angelfire.com/me2/devohouse/index.html) * * * “I shot the sherrif, I shot the deputy too. No, it wasn’t in self defense. They both looked at me cockeyed so I capped 'em. Then I shot the mayor, then the firechief, decapitated the librarian, impaled the dog catcher, used a spoon to remove the groundskeepers eyes and sent the leader of the local KKK in full KKK uniform to downtown Manhattan. Then I made sweet love to the sexy 18 yr old intern, and it was all good.” ---

Well, well, well, what a small world. If I’m not mistaken, you can find The Sip’n Fly’s regular home [url:[http://www.insidetheweb.com/mbs.cgi/mb297](http://www.insidetheweb.com/mbs.cgi/mb297)]here. And no, Sip’n, I’m not _that_ Jézebel. I have no accent over the e. ---

You should get that off right now. Wally deserves better than that, what a cheap shot. At least be original and use your imagination to create your own deal. Wally, make him stop.

I saw no copyright! Have you actually read the rest of the site? I’m not trying to make anything off his post. The “making laughter with other peoples hits” was a joke. I find it extremely interesting that someone can copyright a message board. If you want to be an ass and have Angelfire take down the site, go right ahead. I have the HTML saved and will just pop up somwhere else. ---

Look, nitwit, nobody wants you to get your site taken down, despite its pathetic stench of adolescent angst. But you can’t post copywrited material on your page.

Sip’n, We know that you were just trying to spread the humor around, but there are legal entities involved that frown on using copyrighted material without permission. Wouldn’t it be easier to just remove it rather than rebuilding the site? Right now, it’s your choice. Pretty soon though, Angelfire will make the choice for you. Your call.
