I don'tt know who the heck you are, but I can't read your name without
that Dolly song going through my head. That's not a bad thing at all.
The only thing that comes to mind when I think of Mr. Bean is the
"Holy Spigot" scene from Four Weddings and a Funeral. With that as a
point of reference, you have me pegged to an absolute T except that
he's an actor acting like he acts to get a laugh. I'm most certainly
not an actor. I still get the laughs though. Funny, huh.

Have you seen the video yet, or are you just asking?

That would probably make it clearer for you if you watch the video
before asking questions.

Why I'm in the thread has no bearing on whether or not Will can or
can't explain himself. Why I'm in the thread is why I'm in the group.
I'm a writer who simply loves to write with, to, and about all sorts
of things, events, and people. I write to write for the love of
writing. That is my motivation. Why anyone "should" bother to explain
themselves to anybody is why and how we identify ourselves to others.
If Will can't explain himself in writing when asked then he can't
explain himself in writing. Writing isn't his thing. He'd much rather
you look at him in a video, which is why he posts links to his videos.

Actually, PJR, the above reads more like a projection of your (or more
precisely, ggamble's) basic style of Usenet posting... at least
Jolene's offered more content than you, since all you seem able to
manage these days are your whining rants alternated with your bitter
complaints.

Someone must have really hurt Corey's feelings to have put him in such

You said as much yourself, Will. Do You need to review your recent
comments about yourself? You're a performer. That's how you see
yourself. That's how you identify. That's wonderful. Everything can't
be your thing. So what if you're not as focused on writing as you are
on performing? Why don't you ever humble yourself and work with better
writers? You don't seem to have the same difficulty working with
better musicians. Why do I have to be lying by simply trying to get
you to understand that about yourself, that you're not good at
everything?

Can you explain where you think George was lying?

I ask you to explain because it isn't clear anywhere on this thread that
George ever lied. Either you can explain yourself or not... if not, then you
did falsely accuse George of lying.

Simple enough for you, Corey?
