you have to be one of the most gracious people i've come across, fern. that was most excellent. this guy writes like our orangeducks from mbc days. hmmmmm...

Freedomnow said...

Good ole Orangeducks. Have you heard from him since MBC?

nanc said...

no, but i remember him saying he was in the m.e. haven't seen hide nor hair of him since the last day of mbc. you are every bit the quality of writer as he or anybody i've seen on the web.

Freedomnow said...

There have been some Duck sightings...

His original blog:

what a great bit of news - i know others have inquired of him. i've seen redbeard here and there, but he gives bum e-mail addies - he posts much at anklebitingpundits. he always was a slippery one. great detective work fern - are you a cop?

Freedomnow said...

I dont remember Redbeard, but if I went back to the archives it might refresh my memory.

That sounds like fun. The archives are still available for viewing.

nanc said...

he was the one who would say things like "i like pie" or "he fell on a bullet 20 times" and leave it at that. are you reminiscing fern? remember the 19 year old rightwinger? there was a kid!

Freedomnow said...

Its not that I am getting nostalgic, I actually appreciate its value to the study of sociology. My interest is strictly scientific.

Anyways, Rightwinger was 19 yrs old whipper snapper? I hope you didnt lead poor innocent RW astray.

Shortly after the closing of MBC a blog for Donkey-lovers posted to celebrate the fact. Check out my response:

why fern, ah've nevah lead anyone astray...

i'll check out the link. people were happy when mbc closed shop - i know a couple of people at fpm were because they'd e-mail me and ask why i was at mbc and not fpm. envy is very destructive.

Freedomnow said...

...and yet you have so many problems with frontpage mag. It is all very confusing...

nanc said...

well, i've only been banned two or three times in the last year! that is confusing...hey, i haven't been banned lately...imagine wheels turning...i've been too nice! that's what it is. i'll have to see what i can do about that - i have a rep to uphold - even the evermean wueger told me he loved me yesterday...am i dying?

Freedomnow said...

Perhaps you domesticated Wueger? After all you are good with animals....

nanc said...

actually, he is one of the nice trolls, if there is such a thing.

Freedomnow said...

Now I am really confused because you said he was "the evermean wueger". So I pictured a crusty troll drinking everclear under a bridge. I imagine there would be a Starbucks nearby so he can use the wireless connection on his laptop in order to blog in between chugs of that noxious fluid.
