Oh no, don't end it -- especially with this juicy quote that cries for a response:

"I would like an answer as to why Risker refused to recuse herself even though Moreschi deleted my RfC on her pointing out that she consistently allowed Geogre to continue socking inappropriately on Utgard Loki (with statements to Yellow Monkey which made it clear she knew he was a sock 5 months before he was desysopped)."

So, is this correct -- did Risker know about that sock act for five months? She is on record condoning certain sock accounts -- but this rivals Cas and Law/TU.

And, by the way, who is this Risker broad in real life? A name and location would help in the book research!

Big boy, the Horsey express left the station a long time ago. Don't worry, you'll be contacted later on for your input in the book! tongue.gif

It won't end until they ban him and protect his talk page.

He doesn't know when to break off contact. Now, he's going to act like martyr to invoke sympathy. Why can't people just leave quietly instead of giving some martyrdom speech before being banned from an ill-managed website like Wikipedia? My goodness, he'll be back in a year at the most, it is not like ArbCom is sentencing him to death. I wonder if Ottava will try to circumvent his ban? Will the temptation be too great?

Say, Milton, how about User:Katty KissEm? User:Sanked TeeMoaneeus? User:Cat Again II? User:Paypal Infowlerbility? User:Holly Ceptforher? User: Its Cat Headress?

Maybe I should stop before we are all struck down? unsure.gif wtf.gif

I hope this is not going to turn into the Daily Sermon from Ottava.

I didn't realize that Ottava created the "The Awful German Language" by Mark Twain article. applause.gif

I wish he had done more Mark Twain articles. sad.gif

I'd put on some Tchaikovsky and leave a consolation note for his damaged soul ... but I cannot be bothered re-booting the router in order to be able to edit.

Classy? When I hear "classy," I expect "Breakfast at Tiffany's" -- this is "Lunch at Burger King." Phooey! hrmph.gif

I assume that, not unlike Twain, reports of Ottava death are also greatly exaggerated. tongue.gif

Put on some Spike Jones music -- more appropriate for the Wikipedia mood music. ermm.gif

Ah, horsey, there's nothing actually classy about the "dry hussle." In the end you realize that lunch at Burger King with the happy ending is better than "look, can't touch." That window at Tiffany's is a METAPHOR, you know.

Hey, can any of our Huckleberry friends go over to the Moon River article on WP and clean it up? Down in the References section, there is a misplaced sentence relating to the song's use in the film "Born on the Fourth of July."

And speaking of our Huckleberry friend:

Horrible casting as the lead actor was only born on the third of july (and is a scientologist, but I digress).

I'm not through with the dry hustle a popular bar hustle in the 1950's when Capote wrote his novellete. It's not mentioned as such in the Wiki on either the film OR the story, so don't bother to look there. But it's how Holly makes her living in NYC. There's some connection to the diamonds in the bank-glass window display, AND to Wikipedia's flagged revisions and the people who keep promising them for their own gain....

Could we get Jay Walsh a REALLY long cigarette holder, as a prop? And Jimbo, too, if he's that much into Rand. happy.gif
