It means Robert Houston identified YGB with McK, and YGB, instead of his usual randomness, has chosen in his last posts, irrespective of relevance to anything else in this thread, to chime in with the concerted attack on Dr. Dach started by Nick Bennett, reaching Hank’s via Pharma Bawd, and now NAR in form of the unwontedly purposeful smear exhibited just a couple of posts up.

Were I the editor, I would have defied all Ms. Culshaw’s wishes, express or not, and exercised my own superior judgment in posting a photo that does not expose her to the risk of being likened to a petrified willow by distinguished Nigerian posters.

But I’m not, and perhaps I merely put my own mistaken interpretation on Lise’s fine poem.

And maybe sheep should be cow path?

“You may have to take into account that this blog cannot go on being earnest 100% of the time.”

You can paste that again (and again).

In case anyone was wondering why McK/Yossarian’s busted ghost and the ex-Catch-22 too did not write me himself asking all those give away questions, the answer is quite simply that Hank and I banned his IP some time ago, and he is not determined enough to go to another computer for a one time, short lived post.

I do understand why you put up with him however TS, since compared to some of the others you continue to allow their “freedoms of expression”, he is harmless, and once in a while good for a head scratching moment or two of bemusement.

However, he is definitely not a pharmagoon, and is also not even a mini-minor spokesperson for AIDS, Inc. like Daf9/Dale or Pharma Bawd, although one wishes he was. Maybe you could <i>award</i> *him* an honorary degree …like The Moore Chair at Goon U. and he could set up his own website called AIDSandEverything_Else _Under_the_Sun_including_the_sheep?

You mistake us, McD. We meant that a pretty girl is always intelligent in our experience. But then, we live in New York City, where all the girls are pretty, and all the men are smart, but are outmarted by the pretty girls.

The photo as the distinguished founder of the AIDS Wiki has noted is not ours but was Culshaw’s, so the sun and shadow is not our design. We were not even admiring it for its “sexiness”, but for revealed personal qualities on a higher plane, involving delicacy, sensitivity, intelligence etc., ie poetic and not carnal, which latter is none of our business, since we do not know her, as DB pointed out rather belligerently, rejecting our idea of him kneeling before her beauty, saying “I would watch my choice of words more closely if I were you. If you know what I mean” (we don’t).

Finally, it is a sad day we have to add McKiernan (if it is really he incarnated in the proverbial ghostbuster, and considering his random ravings I have no reason to doubt it) to the pharma funded rogue’s gallery recently posted by Otis on Hank’s blog.

What does this mean? Is McK busted as a pharmagoon? Surely not. If so, perhaps he changed his moniker here to allow him to escape the leash.
