    that's the funny thing about recall.

    Person A can remember every single detail about an event. What it meant, what it did to their life, what The Other Asshole was wearing that day.

    Person B blocks it out and/or doesn't remember the details a week later.

    I don't know TJ. Don't really give a shit if he's a dick, or just plays one on TV.

    Sure, he sent the stuff along as a clarification. It would be the same if I sent along a clarification of that unfortunate barnyard incident. Hey, it was YEARS ago, and there weren't even any charges filed.

    But to continue to vilify the dude over stuff he did 25-30 years ago is just silly. He gives everyone so much fodder TODAY, and that should be plenty.

    You know, especially at your age, a prostate exam can help diagnose this problem

    You don't have a going problem, you have a growing problem.

    While I agree this thread is about assholes, it shouldn't be about mine.

    I am not going to weigh in on the "jerk or not a jerk" talk. Although, like Jones, I know Spnited, and he will generally get my benefit of the doubt. I just don't know enough about this, or really care.

    I am, however suspicious of someone who cares enough to send that message--which clearly was a measured response--to someone else to post, but is above coming on here and just posting it himself. It smacks of trying too hard to appear to not try too hard, which makes me wonder how shifty the person behind it is, and for what reason. If I felt someone had wronged me here, I would do one of two things: 1) chalk it up to an anonymous message board and ignore it or 2) Show some balls and respond myself, under my name. Either one of those are legitimate responses to me. I certainly wouldn't e-mail Whitlock to do my bidding.

    Ragu, he defended himself using his own name. He just didn't register. Don't get all nitpicky.

    I hope in 10 or 15 more years we can drag some people in here to explain what happened to me at one or two of the places I've been ... I don't have a dog in this hunt, but it is fascinating to watch.

    Now about that night at Marshall's...... 8)

    And this was Whitlock's way of showing he's a big enough deal for Simers to use him as a message boy.
