Rumours I'm starting

Good pal and fellow blogger Jay Pinkerton isn't nicknamed "Jay" because his given name is James. Rather, it's for an ugly, hook-shaped scar that vaguely resembles the tenth letter of the alphabet, which was carved into his forehead by thugs over an unpaid gambling debt. He didn't really like the nickname when we first started calling him that.

"Pete, you're like a hero to me. Congratulations on knowing the right thing to do and then doing it."
"your way of thinking if way off key. you should be ashamed of yourself. life is about more than fast cars,fast woman and drugs. you will have a very short lived and lonely life if you keep this up. you made such a joke of it all and lord help you. One day you will stand in front of god and have to explaine your actions. You can either change your ways or you will find yourself spending eternity in hell."

"As one who recently put a relationship in the opposite sex in quite possibly insurmountable jeopardy because of his love for edgy jokes, I'm on your side."
"... what is up with your disassociational delusions? You are the jokester, always have been. When I worked with you, you amply filled the role of office jokester for a company of 300 people all on your own."
"Thou art my grammatical superior."
"I'm afraid to write to you. What if I use a semi-colon wrong?! It's very stressful for me."

"That may be the funniest story I've ever heard. Offensive or not."

"You. Are. A. God. My hat off to you, sir. In my 29 years of life I have yet to offend so many in such a cavalier way. Oh, I have tried, yes, but to have something this good in the antisocial arsenal... You magnificent bastard!"

"I'm your friend and I'm scared of you, and I've been telling you for 18 months that if I worked with you I'd probably hate you."

"Am I your only friend left?"

"... we're no longer friends, after your gross calumny and slander on manvsclown."

"So, I blogroll *and* recommend you in a post, and then it's pissing posts galore. That's just the way the world works, I guess."

"You obviously have little education and certainly little money. IF you get lucky enough to win a lottery you'll then have a chance to know what a butler is...maybe you'll buy some lessons in manners as well."

"Brilliant! How the hell do you not have more readers?"

"Just wanted to say that I'm glad there are people out there like you correcting the kind of dreadful grammar that consistently gives me migraines."

"you ... write like a seal clubbing Canadian"

"You realize that your little workplace experiments are going to get you fired, right?"

"Pete, you're my favourite kind of complete asshole"

"you're ... a veritable cloud of assholes"

Seriously --- your blog is one of the most fun reads on the Internets. Why, some people pay top dollar for this level of comedy gold! (Oh, and you're a veritable cloud of assholes.)

"You really know how to produce a new and higher level of truth, Pete."

"You're an idiot."

"Kudos on sounding like a vitriolic jerk."

"Inappropriate, full stop."

"Thanks for ruining everything, Peter."

"Look at you and your big head. You think you're the only contributor to Man VOOSE clown?"
