Just knowing that there are folks on the list willing to get into a brawl over pop culture (including M.E.!) makes the Groo experience that much more strange and amazing!<br><br>I applaud both of you for your zeal... if not your sense of self-control ;)<br><br>-Al<br><br><br><br>> Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 05:59:54 -0800<br>> From: mrgrooism@yahoo.com<br>> To: groop@groo.com<br>> Subject: [Groop] The Big Fight at the National in NYC<br>> <br>> 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.
