The whole point of me telling you all the I’m going to be gone is so you know not to visit the site until I’m back. Instead there was more than twice our normal traffic while I was gone. See, this is why I hate you guys.
Anyway, apparently the site has been taken over by flameaphobia while I was gone. Before things get too out of hand, I want you people to realize that it’s a very small percentage of fire that burns down homes, and fire has just as much potential for peace as any other chemical reaction.
I should mention I’ve really been enjoying Michael Z. Williamson’s Better to Beg Forgiveness… I didn’t have as much time to read as I though, so I only got a little over half way through, but it will be worth writing a review when I finish because it just keeps getting more and more tense with each chapter. I’ll definitely want to get a copy for my brother to see what he thinks of it as a Marine. It’s quite topical, as while contractors from Blackwater are trying to help keep peace in Iraq while being assailed from the media, in the novel contractors (mercenaries) from Ripple Creek are trying to protect a president on a very volatile planet (it’s kinda like if a whole planet was like the worst country in Africa) while being assailed by the media. MoveOn actually makes an appearance in what does seem the logical progression for them in the future. You can check out the first nine chapters here. Now I have to find how I can get sent more milSciFi novels instead of just free political books.
I’ll get back to my regular blogging on Monday. I actually had inspiration for an In My World™ for the first time in a while, but of course it was while I didn’t have time or easy access to the internet. My muse has been a bitch lately. If it’s still topical, I’ll put it up on Monday. I’m sure Harvey will have something more clever, though, which most people will assume I wrote.
One last thing, dissing SarahK, my wife, is not cool. Any more of that, and I not only ban you, I hunt you down and stick a fork in your eye (my choice of which eye but you can choose the fork). Let’s all learn to be nice to each other, because IMAO is all about respect for other people. That’s what IMAO stands for: Iespect Mor Ather Oeople.
Be honorable, ronin.
Welcome back! I was starting to get withdrawals from your posts while you were gone. Now I just have to wait until monday…. X__X;
Next week on Desperate Troll-Lives
Jealous commenters post pictures of their blow-up dolls, claiming their “Wives” are cuter, can sing better and are more articulate than SarahK, when out of nowhere, a crystal clear high C-note shatters their illusions, and their wives, forcing them to realize that they are lame and FrankJ and SarahK are not.
Yah yah, this “I’m not Harvey” shtick is getting old, and really isn’t this whole “Business Trip” ruse too elaborate to be convincing?
You were gone?
Which one was Frank J?
Dammit, Skul beat me to it.
Welcome back,
Your dreams were your ticket out.
Welcome back,
To that same old place that you laughed about.
Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they’re turned around.
Who’d have thought they’d lead ya (Who’d have thought they’d lead ya)
Here where we need ya (Here where we need ya)
Yeah we tease him a lot cause we’ve hot him on the spot, welcome back,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
Woo hoo! Harvey’s BACK.
Thank God you’re back! All Harvey knows how to make are PB&J sanwiches and TV dinners……..
Can we have pizza?
So your stance on public lambasting is pretty clear, huh?

It’s been fun…
See what happens when you go? They don’t even go after you, they start giving SarahK a bunch of guff.
How odd: the first I had read of Michael Z. Williamson was today, here: http://www.arthurshall.com/x_2007_manly_firearms.shtml.
Now I come over here and you’re talking him up too.
Guess I’ll have to check out his books, too.
Thanks, and wb.

Don’t ever leave like that any more! It was horrible! I went to the beach and I made some outstanding spaghetti and I even helped with some fire clean up. It was dreadful without IMAO to keep me glued to the PC screen.
Let’s never fight again.
Hey, I just want you to notice that I didn’t comment even Once while you were gone.
If anything got busted or you’re missing any stuff, Dude, it wasn’t me.
You know how it goes….”Gypsies in the Palace”.
See any Hamster tracks? Those are dead give aways.

Just so you know, in the coming coup attempt I’ll side with you.
So… what you’re saying is that SarahK is a made man? 🙂
<=== Never insults the nice lady with large guns.
I just tell her her Stars are teh suck…
GO WINGS!!!
Ringmaster, YOU’RE teh suck! GO STARS!
