I won't spend much time on this because no one gives a crap, but, actually, returning to the blog was motivated by my love of the work, not by attention or comments or Tweets. You'll just have to take my word for it. I don't need new commenting blood, honestly, and I only jokingly said that, though it sure does turn up as soon as I start getting noticed. <br /><br />I don't think I've had many Poodle noses in my ass, most of them share your eloquent sentiments. And as for beating a dead horse, I think I've been saying Parker is dead for three years now. I thought it was time someone expressed a more interesting take on the Parker/Miller situation, and the story of Frankenstein just popped into my head. Sorry to be so dull and unoriginal.<br /><br />Thank you for commenting. Sincerely. It can get a little thick with flattery around here.Ron Washamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386836101202976147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-17355928594450484882011-12-29T22:21:31.441-08:002011-12-29T22:21:31.441-08:00Anon, I left out from my previous comment the emot...Anon, I left out from my previous comment the emoticon for "rolling eyes while jamming tongue firmly into cheek".<br /><br />My point was (sigh...) that you have a point - as evidenced by the presence of a traffic/statistics monitoring script.SUAMWhttp://shutupandmakewine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-54060400388292358992011-12-29T22:02:39.020-08:002011-12-29T22:02:39.020-08:00Jose: For the record, yes, much to your delight, t...Jose: For the record, yes, much to your delight, there are numerous tweets (barks) about your resurrection, but then again you just love all those poodle's (basset hound's) noses in your ass.
