The price of a humourous website about Abe Vigoda is eternal vigilance.

SWHC



<DML> Oh, speaking of which: spinn, Mike Adkins wants you to keep vigilant re: Abe Vigoda and all
<spinn> really. and how are the kids? we've been out of touch recently
<Drusilla> who the hell is mike adkins?
<antihero> Dru: you know. That guy.
<Samwise> said you should eat just meat to lose weight. .

* Kyol does the hair gestures.
<DML> Dru: The guy who runs the web board I'm hosting a graphic on spinnoff for
<spinn> ohhhhhh
<DML> Or rather spinn's hosting a graphic on spinnoff for
<spinn> mike aaaaadkinnnns
<spinn> shoulda just said
<Drusilla> the guy who runs the thing for the thing i don't give a fuck about. ah.
<antihero> sam: guh. my mom does that shitty diet- she made a big fuckoff scene at my wedding because we're vegetarian and we weren't thinking of her enough .

<spinn> wait wait. subtlety's pointless here. okay
<DML> Dru: I didn't think you would, which is what surprised me
<spinn> dan, I have no idea why you'd say "mike adkinds something something" as if it meant anything to me
<spinn> adkins
<DML> It was about abevigoda.com
<Drusilla> i was helping spinn snap out of the subtlety.
<spinn> you're missing the point dan
<Drusilla> yes, that part makes sense.
<DML> Sorry. I just thought you might like compliments
<spinn> I have no idea why you'd say "mike adkins something something" as if it meant anything to me
<Samwise> anti: well, if you're on that diet, you absolutely cannot take a day off it. .

<spinn> I do, dan, but it's not the point
<spinn> I have no idea why you'd say "mike adkins something something" as if it meant anything to me
<DML> Okay
<Samwise> but it's her fault for not picking out some cheeses or something and having a jar of macadamia nuts in her purse. .

<spinn> the compliment, yes, that means something to me
<spinn> presenting it as mike adkins' opinions doesn't
<spinn> opinion
<antihero> yeah, but there are in fact times (the diet she was on- i assumed it was teh adkins one, but maybe it wasn't... i just know she wasn't supposed to eat carbohydrates.) that you're supposed to have a "carbohydrate meal" .

<DML> He's a friend of mine that I actually know and he's reading your site!
<DML> One of the guys who I can't get to read Leisuretown
<Samwise> anti: that "meal" has about 10-15 grams of carbohydrates. Not very darned much.
<antihero> well but still, like you said- she shoulda dealt.
<Samwise> 'zactly.
<antihero> my grandmother and uncle, on teh same diet, did fine.
<DML> Adkins does the protein (low-sugar low-carb) diet, not the hi-carb diet.
<antihero> dml: right
<DML> And that's not the same one I'm talking about
<Samwise> DML: Atkins.
<DML> Right
<Samwise> And we know. .

<spinn> dan: then, "a friend of mine likes abevigoda.com" would've made a lot more sense
<DML> Okay then
<DML> Sorry :(
<Drusilla> it's okay
<antihero> and really, being vegetarian partly for health reasons, i'm not a big fan of that style of diet. .

<Drusilla> just prelude "mike adkins" with "my friend"
<Drusilla> to create "my friend Mike Adkins"
<CrazyClimber> or "this guy you never heard of"
<Gayo> I kind of liked the randomness of it being Mike Adkins with no explanation, personally.
<CrazyClimber> but it wasn't even just a compliment, it had foreshadowing
<CrazyClimber> "remain vigilant"
<me_tew> Yeah, that's what Johnny Garner said, too.
<DML> It's like Tommy Chesnutt from "Calvin & Hobbes" He existed in our memory for a single panel. We know nothing more about him
<CrazyClimber> i thought the guy worked in vigoda's hospice or something
<Drusilla> that would have been much cooler
<me_tew> Vigoda Patrola
<Gayo> The price of a humourous website about Abe Vigoda is eternal vigilance.
<CrazyClimber> "i can't tell you anything, but keep an eye on who answers the phone when you call him over the next week" or something like that
<antihero> With Abe Vigoda comes Abe responsibility
<GhostCoder> Abesolute power corrupts Abe Vigoda.
