NYC</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>> By now you probably have hard about ME and I having a bit of a
scuffle<BR>> at The National, so I just want to set the record straight.
Well, first<BR>> of all nobody was arrested, but I was asked to leave the
Convention. It<BR>> was just regular security that escorted me out, not the
cops. <BR>> <BR>>>From the beginning, I guess Mark and I both kind of
got out of hand. We<BR>> were just talking about various things, Groo stuff
and the election and<BR>> Sally Forth and lord knows what else. Someone who's
a big fan of his<BR>> blog brought up the clip from the Dick Van Dyck show
that Mark posted<BR>> recently, and all I said was that I thought the show
was over-rated.<BR>> Mark thinks it's genius, but really I never found it to
be funny at<BR>> all, especially the stupid Walnuts episode that he was going
on about<BR>> ad nauseum!<BR>> <BR>> Anyway, it got a bit heated, we
were both being very sarcastic and I<BR>> said some things that I probably
should regret, about Van Dyck and<BR>> about his sense of humor in general.
I'm sure Mark regrets what HE<BR>> said, at least he SHOULD, anyway, next
thing I knew Mark was taking a<BR>> swing at me and we both sort of ended up
rolling around on the ground.<BR>> I did sort of lose a tooth, but it was
loose already. Somehow I came<BR>> off as the bad guy since Irwin Hasen said
I started it, which isn't<BR>> true at all. <BR>> <BR>> Anyway, don't
believe everything you hear. I'm sure Mark will want to<BR>> tell his side,
but really, it's a free country, my opinion is just as<BR>> good as his.
<BR>> <BR>> Anyway, even though they kicked me out yesterday I paid for
today and<BR>> will damned well be going. I'm sure Mark will take this
opportunity to<BR>> apologize properly, we'll go from there. Maybe I'll bring
him a walnut!<BR>> <BR>> Sorry for all of the drama! Ignore the media
reports. Thanks!<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> -Larry "mrgrooism"
