Noiseradio and Mr. Average, I'm sorry

I'm sorry for all the bad things I've done to you. Do you forgive me?

In Dayton, Ohio there is a drycleaners owned by a German family with surname Heider. In August, Southwestern OH is like a giant steambath, yet this shirt launderer manages to clean and press dress shirts with high quality and impeccable taste. Just north of the cleaners is a Mexican Restaraunt that sells cupcakes. They use "icing annointment utensils" that are state of the art. Some people....some people like cupcakes better, but I, for one, care less for them.

I prefer muffins to jalepeno cupcakes any day of the week.

It's just me. What can I say?

To cite the title of and old Firesign Theater album "We are All Bozo's on this Bus". I wonder if that phrase has any meaning outside of the United States.

I wonder.

Ah, but Mr. A, have you ever been to Magnolia's Bakery on Bleecker Street? They might make you reconsider your distaste for cupcakes...

Miss BA, your multicultural base of experience amazes me. I envy those like you who have savored the flavors that the world has to offer and can render thoughtful opinions about the experiences.

Imagine the minority of the earths population (a fraction of a fraction of 1%) who will ever experience even a portion of what you have seen, sampled, experienced.

I am certain that my cupcake position can be swayed. Depends on the grade of flour, mostly.

Just to clarify, this post is a genuine compliment.

Thanks, Mr. A! Compared to a lot of people, though, I live in a bubble.

If you ever make it over to NYC, I'll have to introduce you to Magnolia Bakery cupcakes. Velvety-smooth, with a buttercream frosting to die for. The line always snakes around the corner, but it's so worth it.

Hopefully, not a soft-soap bubble.

Those are reserved for the special ex-friends of Mr. C.

I get to NYC often.

I still love to visit the Carnegie Deli. My favorite NYC story is when I lost my Visa Card on the sidewalk around 1:00pm on a beautiful spring day afternoon outside of a chinese restaurant around 55th and Broadway. I called the restaurant as I retraced my steps after realizing the card was missing at 10:00pm that evening, 9 hours later.

It was found on the sidewalk, and turned in to the owner of the same restaurant. I recovered it about 11:00pm without a single unauthorized charge to it.

I love NY.

Bamboo,

Of course. Bygones. And if I've offended you, I hope you'll forgive me as well.

wehitandrun · Post by **wehitandrun** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 1:59 pm

Maybe you should mind your own business, MBA... well, definitly.

miss buenos aires · Post by **miss buenos aires** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 2:01 pm

Maybe I'd get bored if I minded my own business.

miss buenos aires · Post by **miss buenos aires** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 2:16 pm

Only by you...

Mr. Average · Post by **Mr. Average** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 3:01 pm

Okay... seriously now...

Mr. B. Needle,

From the early days I have often held your posts and commentary in high regard. I recall that your appreciation for Steely Dan's catalog was indicative of a guy with great musical taste.

I will admit to an almost unprecedented ire associated with what I percieved to be your targeted attacks on an individual or two. For some inexplicable reason, I probably over reacted. That was a bad era for me, as my primal sense of olfaction was malfunctioning and my world was in complete disarray.

With that being said, I then saw your picture in the Photo Gallery and realized that if we ever came face to face, you would probably kick the shit out of me. Thus, I am all for giving peace a chance.

I'm not stupid....

and as a sidebar to WHAR, and as the great Pao Mei once said, you must forgive yourself before you can ask others to forgive you. I'm not really sure what that means, but it sounds good and ends this message with just a touch of Eastern Intrigue.

wehitandrun · Post by **wehitandrun** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 3:09 pm

I understand what that quote means, it just doesn't apply here.

miss buenos aires · Post by **miss buenos aires** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 3:30 pm

As the great Bedhead once sang, "If you'd forgive me, I could forgive myself, but forgiveness never has these terms."

Mr. Average · Post by **Mr. Average** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 4:31 pm

Pao Mei the the character name of Uma Thurmans (Beatrix Kiddo) mentor in Kill Bill Vol II, wonderfully acted by Gordon Liu.

I just made-up that part of my last post . It sounded good.

In the words of Johnny Fuckerfaster... "coming mother!"

Yes, for some of us (that are old enough), the Firesign Theater, and "We are all bozos on this bus", does have meaning

I want Pao Mei's eyebrows, and a muffin after reading all that! Mmmm jalapeno muffins!

Thank you noise and Mr. Average for the acceptance of my apologies and for any forgiveness you feel towards me. And any I feel is necessary for you, I extend fully.

How I've dealt personally with this matter has been private and so that will never be available for anybody else's scrutiny, but I was surprised by the more unpleasant stuff I'd put out and it was a real personal letdown. The realization that I can't do much more here now besides to tell what I have (any big performance will be saved for now), and that all that is in the past for me, too, prevents me from saying any more.

WHAR - I respond better to requests than demands, but yes I am sorry for any bad thing I have done to you, and would like your forgiveness, too.

boo, honey, methinks you need a hug.

consider it given.

WHAR - you wanna a hug too? i'm old enough to be your mamma. i can hug you.

feeling generous and slightly teary (damned gillian welch, she gets the tears going, she does)

I would call for a big group hug here, but there are probably people who might try to cop a feel.

Nice job making nice you guys. Warms my heart.
