Good. Bug him for a meet now.

As Raz seems to have declared me his new best friend, Cal is despondent and needs a shoulder to cry on within easy driving distance.  :D

Platonic ideal?  Monkeybutt or Berkut.  Both smart and funny guys, but their status as the exemplar depends entirely on whether you think Languish is or ideally ought to be kind of a belligerent mellow or a bit higher strung and fuller of generalized hate.

Edit: Actually, split the difference, and call it "Vinraith."

I always thought a Platonic ideal was an abstract version of what a thing *is* and not what it tries to be. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, the other allusion(the "everyman") should clearly rule out Berkut in this context.

The American dream does not involve being a bitter cuckold who hates non-white and the poor.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

He's also racist as hell.

Thank you Jimmy. :hug:

I wondered where that came from as well.   :huh:  I love my First Nations neighbors.

:lmfao:

He is very sensitive. And to think he used to write me PMs asking why people don't like him. And to think I actually responded and defended him!

Oh well, live and learn I guess. You'd think I was some kind of ex-lover the way he goes on and on.

Actually, BB would be a pretty decent nominee. Opinionated, but moderate, well liked, nothing really objectionable about him, and he isn't nearly as bizarre as many.
