1. Just thought you would enjoy the read, will cease to "shout-out". 2. Pretty sure b_b is the only Detroiter in this thread and I can safely say that prior to Hubski, I didn't know a single soul in this thread, including him. You may call it a "Circle-jerk", but it's not a regionally specific one. I did enjoy your primary 12 paragraph response -it made sense to me. The Wes Anderson comment was in reference to a conversation months ago that we had here. I'll try to dig it up but right now I have a baby with the flu on my hands, time is short and I am exhausted. I'm guessing you can empathize. IMO, you make a valid point that if the masses see some appeal in something and you at first don't, it's worth asking the question, "what, if anything, did I miss"?I think it's telling that I wrote Twelve.Fucking.Paragraphs (at thenewgreen's invitation, despite my suspicion that this detroit-area circlejerk would come apart at the seams - last fucking time he talks me into this shit)
