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