Reading this, I had a 'Eureka!' moment. Am I the only New Zealander here to have noticed that Fred Seddon is the spitting image of Mr Peter Leitch, aka The Mad Butcher? Can anyone confirm whether they have ever been seen in the same place together?

And if you don't believe me, here is the evidence...

Well, if I am to be placed into NEM purgatory, at least I can join some august company.

If there's one thing I can't abide, it's a poor grade on my report card.

PPS: If your name doesn�t appear here at all, you are clearly on the lowest rung of hell.

I resent that. As an economist I reserve my rightful place on the lowest rung of hell.

Anyway, I blame Visser(s) and Darby for leading me astray.

Excuse me, Mr. Perigo, Sir, but I believe I have an article waiting in the wings that was sent YESTERDAY? I won't promise it to be a gem, but it's there! Somewhere...
Thank you Mr. Perigo, Sir. May I be exused now? I have to go lie down in traffic or something.

Can we at least change the spelling to "Dilldough" to reflect my persona a bit more accurately?

I like to think that I at least am a vassal of Hell, rather than on the lowest rung. However, my reigning theory is rampant Perigo Alzheimer's.

I'm happy I at least made the list, even if I am going to hell. (Ha! I've heard that one before!)

Gee Linz, thank you. You couldn't have made a more flattering comparison than with O'Rourke.

Though I must admit to being a little confused. I mean, one night you're wanting me to be a naughty little boy, another morning you're telling me to be more mature.

A clarification would be much appreciated.

Linz,

PS: Linz, I love ya.

PSS: Linz, I hate you *and* love you at the same time!

PSSS: And, in the same respect.

George,

I think you meant "PPS" rather than "PSS," Unless it has some special meaning for Linz :-)

Chris Matthew Sciabarra (Her Royal Whoreness, Dr. Diabolical Dialectical). Diabolical is going to receive special attention a few days from now, for reasons that will be obvious then. En passant, Founder notes, happily, that Her Royal Whoreness has tamed his unseemly tendency to spread himself around other, unsavoury sites (that never, thankfully, included such Saddamite sewers as lewrockwell.com).

Well, I don't wish to suggest that I am a totally reformed Intellectual Whore. Please!!! I do have a reputation to maintain! After all, I have many Austrian economics colleagues at lewrockwell.com and the Ludwig von Mises Institute (Monsieur Sechrest among them!), and I do post, on occasion, to the Mises Economics Blog (along with several hundred others, it seems!). And don't forget that lewrockwell.com does archive my essay, "How I Became a Libertarian." (I hope I get extra credit for my ceaseless self-promotion and self-linking policies ... especially on a site that stands by the "virtue of selfishness"! :) )

But the truth is, aside from places like SOLO and Liberty and Power Group Blog, I have been spending a lot more time around my own "Not a Blog" and website, which at least keeps my whoring to a minimum. I figure if I can't whore around my own website, what's the point???

The only other way to keep out of trouble... is to submit to the routine whippings administered by the #1 Slave-Master in all of Creation. That's what happens when the slaves get too uppity.

A word to the wise.

Linz,

When you included death in your list of inadequate excuses, did you mean for it to include the author as well? If so, does that mean that SOLO now accepts ghostwritten articles?

I had only the authors in mind when I said that their deaths were a palpably feeble excuse for not writing.

I fear that if The Ghost of Kernon should write an article after all these years, I would die of shock!

Linz,

Years? Well, now I'm going have to wait until August to submit something!

(And don't make promises like that! There may be some people who would pay good money to see a certain person out of the way!)
