(A Filthy Lie)

Like Michelle Malkin, Glenn Reynolds gets his fair share of venomous missives from unbalanced readers.

Unlike Michelle Malkin, surprisingly few of them are crude slurs about being a woman or a minority. Most of it is revolves around a perceived dearth of Instalanching, like this typical example:

"Why won't you link me??? Why don't you answer my e-mails??? After all the cool links I've sent you, you OWE ME!!! I HATE YOU!!! You're a stink-butt poopy-head, that's what you are!!!

Your #1 Fan,
Frank J.

PS You can make it up to me by linking this cool post I did on the Semite menace."

Aside from the "where's my link?" theme, however, the rest of his mail tends to fall into one of the several categories listed below:



* Korean restaurants complaining that the last meat shipment tasted more like Labradoodle than Shih Tzu, despite what the shipping manifest said.

* Cease & Desist orders from the Precious Moments people regarding his line of "Satanic Moments" figurines - especially that "Hobo, Bloody Hobo", which is particularly nastly.

* PeTA (People Eating Tasty Animals) berating Glenn for drinking animals, which is just sick and inhumane.

* Long, obscenity-laced screeds from angry mothers who bought Glenn's adult movie "Tramp of the Penguins" by mistake.

* The American Nudist Association trying to talk Glenn into joining their "Best of Blogging" organization: "Sleeping Naked Media".

* Rejection letters from Fox saying they're STILL not interested in producing his show "So You Think You Can Robot Dance".

* University of Tennessee frat boys sending death threats for selling them fake Spanish Fly. Usually containing the line "You said these were spurious. They didn't spur her on at all!".

* E-mails addressed to "Professor Reynolds" wanting to know if he ever nailed Ginger while he was stuck on that island.

* Or Gilligan.



Of course, the most common category is requests for tips on how to punch Frank J.

Usually from Laurence Simon.

FROM KNOXVILLE: i gotta know whatup with the UT reference...
I know i am lost on most of the inside jokes on this site...but this one actually intrigues me

#3 - Posted by: dr. vacation on July 15, 2006 06:31 PM

Dr. V - UT is where Glenn Reynolds actually works as a law professor. The rest of the joke is just general mockery of frat boys.

And I *do* try to give explanatory links on inside jokes. But if I miss one, just holler & I'll explain. I don't expect everyone to have read the full 4 years of IMAO.

#4 - Posted by: Harvey on July 16, 2006 09:54 AM

You forgot the repeated requests for motivational lectures from “Army Of Davids” paramilitary organization.

#5 - Posted by: Neo-andertal on July 16, 2006 05:29 PM

Now that has all kinds of comic possibilities, Glenn’s own “Army of Davids” paramilitary organization. Satin and the Jooooz really are in control.

#6 - Posted by: Neo-andertal on July 16, 2006 05:40 PM

I wish "satin" was is control. All these cotton/polyester blends are so chafing!

#7 - Posted by: AlanABQ on July 17, 2006 05:42 AM

All right, all right, it's Satan. Another joke down the tubes.
