Whats going on with Wildest Bill, is he gone forever? He calls everyday wanting to get back on the dope. Wanting me to be his sock puppet. This nut is driving me crazy. I know this isn’t your problem but I told him I’d make one last plea for his right to post. If not, let it be and I’ll never mention his name again and he’ll get off my Back. So Bill when you read this and I know you will. Leave me the fuck alone!

PS We all know he’s all talk and no balls anyway.

Can I wait on the porch, too? I’ll bring the shotguns and the malt liquor.

Buckshot my ass.

A true country boy knows real fun is sitting on the porch, in a rocker, stingin’ 'em with a BB gun.

I’ll bring the beer.

Oh, hell. He let that slip a lot. I think he was in real life the President of Harvard College.

I promise to wear my best overalls, and I’ll bring the chaw, a bottle of moonshine, and my first cousin. I want on that porch 'right soon.

Now this is weird. My son (who is a regular lurker) and I were just telling my daughter about Wildest Bill, like maybe an hour ago. We even pulled up that GQ thread. The one with the classic Wildest Bill subject line. It was. . . umm. . . let me check–

Alright I’m back. It was: Would Are Eco Sytem Be OK If We Extincted Mosquitos.  
So he’s haunting me too. Only I don’t need a gun like Mr. Thompson there.

**C Thompson** , if that is indeed your name, I I were you, I would step aside and not get between the afore-mentioned varmit and the people on that porch. It might not be healthy.

Actually, Bill didn’t capitalize the K in OK, either. It was just “Ok”.

Wow, what a privilege. And so considerate of your membership status.
