Alright, everyone: may I propose that we all make a point of going outside and trying to interact with other people every once in a while? It might do us all good.

So, I suppose this is the "I love you, but we should see other people" post.

Off to smell some exhaust!

You continue to be delusional in thinking I am not in London. Maybe I am in the West Wing, near Karl’s office.

The real Happy Larry of folk myth was Antipodean, around 1875. So you are definitely not the REAL Happy Larry.

Your case would be thrown out on its ear.

I could conceivably bring an action against you for direct unequivocal and undeniable description of me as a miserable wretch. But you are not worth the bother, and I am as magnanimous as I am happy.

you are not the REAL Larry at all. THAT is why I doubt your legal knowledge.

This is an outrageous slur on my good name.

Well, so-called "John" who is oh-so-plausibly "in London" you've really done it now. First you have the affrontery to compare suggest that my state of happiness as comparable to that of a miserable wretch like you. Then you cast aspertions about my (considerable) legal expertise. And now you cap it all by suggesting that those libelous allegations were justified because I am not the real me. How dare you?

You'll regret that: as soon as I've watched a few more episodes of Ally McBeal, I'll have you for breakfast.

When did I refer to YOUR state of happiness ? Are you so pompous as to believe you are the only Larry around ? That happy as Larry is not a well-known figure of speech ?

And if you were all that happy, you would not take umbrage.

Indeed the more i think about it, you are not the REAL Larry at all.

THAT is why I doubt your legal knowledge. Judge Judy is just an American fix. With Karl Rove pulling the strings.

You clearly know very little law.

Oh dear JiL you're digging yourself in deeper and deeper. Not content with making baseless accusations about my state of happiness, you're compounding your problems by speculating on the state of my legal expertise. I'll have you know that I have watched several episodes of Judge Judy, and therefore count myself as something of an expert on the subject.

So sue me. You clearly know very little law.

Me too, me too:

I am happy as "Larry"

That's got to be actionable too, surely?

You simply have no idea how happy I am, and your conjecture that my state of happiness is comparable to that of a half-wit like you is deeply offensive and defamatory.

john b has a very superficial "knowledge" of post-war history. And most of that is the propaganda he has swallowed.

Don't you think that the fact that Soviet documents pretty much support his contention undermines your opinion just a tad?

Quick, dsquared, call your lawyer!

I am happy as "Larry" needling leftie loonies like you, dsquared.

john b has a very superficial "knowledge" of post-war history. And most of that is the propaganda he has swallowed.

But to be kind to the youngster, I am trying to warn him that he is risk of a libel suit on his Scottery thread.
