An invitation

To whomever is the brain or brains behind Violent Acres:

If you're ever in Kansas City or anywhere else I happen to be, I owe you dinner and some drinks worth drinking. Because every time I read your writing, I feel like I'm at a family reunion, and I finally found the other misfit cousin who doesn't quite fit in, and has no plans to attempt to.

Before anyone starts, I don't care if V. is male, female, young, old, married, single, one person or a team of writers. I have no interest in exposing them. I have no interest in taking pictures. But anyone who writes that well and that fearlessly? Oh hell yeah, I'll sit in a bar and drink Vodka with them. No, I don't have a problem with them being anonymous. In fact, I think it takes some real stones to go against the blogdorkosphere orthodoxy, and say whatever the hell you want, all the while telling the high priests of blogdorkosphere "Fuck you, I'll say what I want, how I want, and you can't do shit about it."

The best part is, they're right. They're doing it their way, and when people rail against them for it, they're merrily mooning them from the second floor, then stuffing a potato up their exhaust pipe. Damn, but I loves me a troublemaker without fear.

Although I have to disagree this statement from her post on the Kathy Sierra flameup:

Come out of your house, get a license to carry, and strap a knife to your thigh. Trust me; you’ll feel a lot better. The world quits looking so dark and scary the very second you throw away your Perpetual Victim Card.

Knives aren't the answer. Your right index finger slamming into their left eye at the tear duct is. The natural bending of the finger allows you to get a grip on the front of their skull better, and de-face them. Don't care how badass you are, someone literally rips your face off, or hell, shoves a finger in your eye up to the third knuckle? You totally forget about anything but screaming. You might forget the knife, you always have a finger. But remember to scream, I'LL EAT YOUR EYES!!!!! That's what closes the deal.

So yeah, V, if we ever happen to be in the same place, drinks and food are on me...my little way of saying "thanks".

yes, I know, i could ferret out V's email address. but that would be no fun at all.
