You know how to call a spade, a f*cking shovel. Especially when it is warranted. And to those who compain when you use it to beat someone over the head, likely they need a good whack as well.

I'm truthfully shocked that this thread is far out-pacing the other one, especially after last week. Of course, it's still early, and my biggest fans haven't yet stepped up with their comments. Damn these time zone issues...

Among other things, I like that you're clever enough to label these two threads in such a way that someone can respond positively without actually saying, "I like John Simmons", while forcing people who want to respond negatively to clearly indicate, "I don't like John Simmons".

Down deep, I'm honestly sensitive to the needs of everyone with whom I come in contact. It's just part of being a simply decent person.
By the way, I have some property in Florida i think might interest you...

Sorry, I sold that last week to some guy from Trivandrum (I wonder where that is, and what kind of problems he's gonna have getting it through Customs...).

Most of the time your posts are pretty bloody amusing. Your recent classic response to some sad Linux zealot was hilarious reading.

Imagine Simmons in Holland! He would be roaring down a strip of road, in his Nascar, bordered by hundreds of windmills all frantically tilting as far back from the road as they could.

* Wow, I see other people are taking these two threads seriously. You should get your own show Simmons. The John Simmons Show; Where you get not to vent your anger at your amnesiac, lesbian step-mother who was born in a trailer park but at John Simmons himself. First up we have Jerry Springer to give John some tips on how to start a chair throwing, hair pulling fight.

Geraldo
Who the heck is Geraldo? Geronomo's half-brother?
Actually. The only Jerry Springer I have seen is from Austin Powers. The rest I have heard from friends and reviews. Was Geraldo a lesbian or a gay KKK member?

Holy crap, Geraldo is something to everyone:
- a satanic ritual abuser
- a patriot
- a journalist
- a wrestler
- an actor (or tress, it is not clear)
- a volunteer
- a man of double-standards
- a mind controller
- a tomb raider
- a hacker
- and most dispecably "a talk show host"
Thanks for the informative link Jon, that article told me a lot about Geraldo (thought I did have to click next quite a few times to get to the last page.)

I like your cynical sense of humor. In fact, your witty comments remind me of Blackadder[^]

I fear to ask but if you are Black Adder, then who is Baldric here on CP?

I have been meaning to ask you this question for quite some time now.

where the f*** is your wanted poster!

Yer bike, dude.
Got my learner's permit last week, and spent the weekend riding a street-certified Honda dirt-bike around the highways at the cottage. I'm hooked. Not so keen on trail-riding, but my Dad is (he used to race enduro) so I ride with him when he's around.
Nope, when I finally convince my wife that I'm not going to kill myself or force my 18-month old daughter to ride "those death-machines", I'll have an Harley in my garage.
Until then, all I got is other people's pictures.
