— Dave in Texas This guy David cracks me up by responding to his angry emailer's request for uncompensated work with a combination of ridicule and humor, but mostly polite language. I like how Simon walks the tightrope between outrage and begging, danging the promise of future compensation or greater fortune from his brilliant business idea.
It's the politeness that always gets me. A long time ago I had a run in here with a troll who kept taking the bait from me because he a) was convinced I was a moron and was completely wrong about a quote from Thomas Jefferson (that I completely made up), and b) kept getting angier because I was just so darned nice to him and did not oblige his need to "prove me wrong".
Good times, good times.
Anyway I'm a sucker for this sort of thing. Enjoy. For those of you morons on the move today or tomorrow, safe travels, and a happy Thanksgiving to you all.

That was just fantastic. And, David did, indeed, oblige with the pie charts and logos. It is clear that Simon has no sense of humor whatsoever and I find it even funnier that the fella has invented some sort of technology yet can't even create his own friggin pie charts.
What do you want to bet that Simon has invented some swell new interactive game called 'Atari'?

I have an artist friend. Once or twice I asked for help, but had the good(ish) sense to pay him a few bucks each time. He may have done it free as a favor for a friend, but that's how he makes his living, so he deserved something for his efforts.

Yes, now that's true, the Hostages is totally gay porn.
I think they had a recent format change or something.

I suspect you are just taking their word for it, but it doesn't actually matter. Personally, I've never been into the "pretty boys." Why does my opinion even bother you at all? It makes me feel a little bad for you and I am not, by nature, a particularly empathetic person.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Is it any wonder David included copious visuals?

Sorry to disappoint but my engagement tomorrow is at Joe's Stone Crabs on South Beach for lunch. Crabs and key lime pie are the order of the day, and it will be spent with a lovely damsel who has stems that go all the way to her waist. Her bumps ain't bad either.

Joe's is one of the few upscale restaurants that do not accept reservations. The best story about Joe's is when Richard Nixon would travel to Key Biscayne where he had a home and one of his aides called Joe's for reservations.
He was told of the no reservation policy and the aide insisted that President Nixon should receive priority. The aid was told the policy stood with no exceptions. Nixon with wife Pat went to Joe's and stood in line chatting with the patrons. True story.
