Wh-wh-wh-what?  I d-d-d-don't know wh-wh-what y-you're talking a-b-bout.  

Jet,

Much as I appreciate the compliment, I'm glad to see that you have profaned me publicly, therefore touching off a new flame war. It get's boring around here without a flame war. Therefore, to readers, I will disclose the verifiable fact that Jet substitutes a picture of a big, handsome bute for his own, because everybody in Phoenix knows Lacy is a scrawny, pencil-necked geek who stutters.

(that I grew up with)

Oyate, while I truly appreciate the complement, in this instance you're full of shit: I am in no way a better writer than you.  In language, just like it is in people, it is the subtle differences that makes the craft of utilizing it great.  Linguistically, it is the way we chain the words together (in a strange ordered random), infusing our own syntax and word usage into each sentence that makes someone's work interesting to read.  In a nutshell, that's why I hate the fucking newspaper.

BTW:  I have really enjoyed the articles you have posted/written about the Akwesasne Mohawks.  I've also started following it on their websites.  Embarrassingly, my cousin (that I grew up) with is a Zone Sargent for the NYS Police in Troop B, which covers that area.  Akwesasne is about 60 miles from Plattsburgh, NY the small city that I'm from.  Also, I've liked every one of the Mohawks  that I've known and I appreciate that they stand up for themselves, no matter the cost.  The guys I knew were all Union Iron Workers that built the skyscrapers in New York City and elsewhere.  Pretty tough motherfuckers.     

Lacy, I'd totally tell you to cut this Gonzo crap, I'm the deleriously psycho writer on this rag, but it so happens you are better at it than me. So it's with great reluctance that I encourage you to keep it up. I'd just similarly encourage you not to leave any beer in the fridge at HQ because I'm gonna drink it all and not tell you.
