Bill_Conlin: HELLO

IS ANYONE HERE ON THE INTERNET

WordUpThome: YES

JIM IS HER

WordUpThome: JIM IS HERE

Bill_Conlin: i'm trying to boot-up to the internet and tell bloggers that they are worthless, is this the right place for that

WordUpThome: I DON'T BELIEVE SO FRIEND, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT JAMMIES I AM YOUR MAIN MA

WordUpThome: MAN

WordUpThome: BLOGGERS

ARE THOSE POGS MADE OF JELLO

Bill_Conlin: no, they are lesser beings who disagree with my articles from time to time

Bill_Conlin: for instance one blogger disagreed with a bunch of boring statistical baseball crap i wrote, so i really let him have it

Bill_Conlin: i was like "my career against yours, pal"

WordUpThome: ONE TIME ROCKET "ROGER" CLEMENS SAID THAT TO ME AND THEN I HIT A HOMED RUN OFF OF HIM

Bill_Conlin: then he kept disagreeing with me so i told him that it would be great if hitler were alive so he could kill him and all his blogger friends

WordUpThome: WHAT

Bill_Conlin: YEAH THAT'S RIGHT CALL ME AN ANTI SEMITIC

WordUpThome: I DON'T REALLY WANT TO GET INTO SEMITICS WITH YOU BILL CONLIN

WordUpThome: I ENJOY THE SHOW "SHINING TIME STATION" AND IF I THINK THAT'S KIND OF A DUMB THING TO SAY, WHAT WOULD ALL THE INTERNET SMARTY-PANTSES THINK

Bill_Conlin: i don't care what they think

WordUpThome: AND YET YOU ARE ALWAYS TALKING THE BULLPUCKY ABOUT THEM

WordUpThome: HOW OLD ARE YOU, LIKE 50 OR 60

I'M GUESSING FROM THIS PICTURE OF YOU, YOU LOOK LIKE ONE OF THE BAD GUYS FROM THE MOVIE "SCAREFACE"

WordUpThome: SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND, ETC. ETC.

WordUpThome: FROM THE SOUND OF IT MOST BLOGGERS ARE YOUNG ENOUGH TO BE YOUR GRANDBABIES

Bill_Conlin: well yeah

WordUpThome: WHEN YOU WERE A SMALL CHILD RIDING THE HORSY RIDE IN FRONT OF THE GROCERIED STORE DID YOU THINK THAT ONE DAY YOU WOULD BE AN OLD MAN TELLING YOUNG PEOPLE THAT YOU WISH THEY WERE DEAD BECAUSE THEY DISAGREED WITH YOUR OPINIONS ABOUT OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE WHO PLAY BASEBALL

Bill_Conlin: well no

WordUpThome: AND DON'T YOU THINK THAT IT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD TO LIKE BASEBALL WHEN YOU ARE OLD BUT THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO CHILL OUT A LITTLE BIT AT THIS POINT IN YOUR LIFE

Bill_Conlin: i guess

WordUpThome: AND DON'T YOU THINK THAT IN THE SAME SPIRIT COMPUTERS COMPLEMENTED THE POSTAL SERVICE AND CALCULATOR AND RUBIKS CUBE, INTERNET WRITING IS EVOLVING INTO A LEGITIMATE MEDIA CHANNEL AND YOU SHOULD JUST LET THE JELLO-POGS DO THEIR THING

Bill_Conlin: well i guess you're right

Bill_Conlin: HOLD ON A SECOND

Bill_Conlin: SOME 23-YEAR-OLD IS DISAGREEING WITH MY OPINION THAT BASEBALL PLAYER "A" IS BETTER THAN BASEBALL PLAYER "B"

Bill_Conlin: you know times like these i wish we could cruelly wrest bloggers' homes from them and force-march them to the badlands

WordUpThome: YOU ARE A JOYLESS LUMP BILL CONLIN

Bill_Conlin: time to put them in their place with one of my trademark "bill conlin zingers"

Bill_Conlin: hmm, how does that quote go

Bill_Conlin: "those who would be liberty and safety, deserve liberty and safety" - george washington

a little known quote, quite applicable in these trying times!

WordUpThome: I'M PRETTY SURE THAT GEORGE WASHINGTON DID NOT SAY THAT
