Dean's World is #1!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm doing a happy dance today!

I have just received definitive proof that Dean's World has made the big time: I got my first piece of hate mail!

A creature calling itself Cody Bishop sent me the following bit of foul-mouthed and incoherent dreck:

you are a moron. fuck off. what a pointless website. your arguments are so poorly put together that i can't really tell exactly what is it that you're trying to assert. ballface. it is very obvious that you are a creature with a dick between your legs. die.
I've never been so happy. Who among you can claim to be important enough to cause a pathetic, semi-literate misandrist to develop an obsession with you?

Envy me, you lesser mortals!

I am so freakin' jealous. Damn you. I don't even get trolls.

Call me when you have your first prosecution. ;-) That's ALWAYS good for a laugh.

Posted by Brian on May 21, 2003 at 12:47 PM


Kudos! Was there a subject specified?

Posted by Owen on May 21, 2003 at 1:19 PM


Why are you trying to censor this person so? ;-)

I think it's someone who disagrees with you about American Idol.

Now I've got the song "Big Time" stuck in my head. Kudos on this, your next step in Blogosphere Domination! ;-)

Congrats.

Posted by IB Bill on May 21, 2003 at 2:00 PM


I think I'll hold open tryouts for Trolls and Hate Mailers. Any takers?

Posted by zombyboy on May 21, 2003 at 2:10 PM


Dean- is there something wrong with having 'a dick between your legs'? I'm sure you're quite happy it's there.

Hey Zombyboy- I heard a rumor that your blog advocates Ted Rall.

Ted Rall Post Here

Heh, heh. Maybe now you'll get some hate mail...

Posted by Courtney on May 21, 2003 at 2:29 PM


"ballface"??

Posted by Erica on May 21, 2003 at 2:34 PM


Hey! You're horning in on my possession of TrollQueen of the Blogosphere! This means war! (Off to post about how extra-superduper-withy-special-sauce on how fatfatfat Michael Moore is -- and how he is secretly Ted Rall's gay lover! They do it to Noam Chomsky spoken word performances! It's all true!)

I don't think anyone gets more hate mail than me. But I gotta tell you Dean, for a first hate mail that is awesome. You hit the motherload the first time out - A death wish, a reference to genitals, no capitalization and a blanket refutation of everything you have ever written. It's like several trolls wrapped up in one!

Posted by michele on May 21, 2003 at 3:15 PM


Mr. Esmay, I salute you! Well, actually I also envy you!

And just let me guess-- the creature yclept Cody Bishop considers itself a paragon of... tolerance!!!

No doubt the Bishop is slamming you like this because it considers you intolerant, and this hydrophobic gibbering is its way of springing to the defense of, uh, tolerance. That seems to be the way such creatures usually think. If one can really call it "thinking."

Posted by Paul Burgess on May 21, 2003 at 3:55 PM


Hey...that's way better than my first hate mail

Posted by mike van winkle on May 21, 2003 at 4:30 PM


Wah! I never get hate mail.

Posted by Jane on May 21, 2003 at 4:38 PM


Jane, that's only because you never gave Acidman your e-mail address. ;-)

Posted by McGehee on May 21, 2003 at 4:53 PM


Courtney, what bothers me is that the troll said it was obvious...

Now, does that mean that Dean is, er, "well endowed", or that the troll used a telephoto lens? Heh...

Unless this "Cody" is missing a particular piece of anatomy, in every sense of the word; the word "envy" comes to mind... :)

Posted by Casey Tompkins on May 21, 2003 at 5:40 PM


Congratulations, ballface. And congratulations to Cody as well for successfully constructing a proper contraction. I have found that most of his ilk fail miserably at that task.

PS - "Ballface" in this instance is a term of endearment.

Posted by Rob on May 21, 2003 at 5:43 PM


Ooo, Courtney is good.

Yeah, I FREAKIN' LOVE TED RALL, YOU JERKWAD KNEEJERK PALEOCONS!

So there.

Posted by zombyboy on May 21, 2003 at 6:09 PM


"creature with a dick between your legs"?

I would certainly hope so. Or is there something you'd like to share with the class, Mr. Esmay? Hmmm?

Posted by rita on May 21, 2003 at 6:50 PM


First of all, congratulations. You have finally gotten hate mail. I got hate mail (sort of) a while ago.

Second of all, do you have your own pet troll?

Welcome to the big leagues, man with dick between legs (rather conincidentally I am in the same category, much like most men, I assume).

:)

Posted by Inscrutable American on May 22, 2003 at 1:03 AM


Well I have to say that as a general rule of thumb, that is the best place to have one.

Posted by Owen on May 22, 2003 at 8:20 AM


A thumb?

Dang it, where's my coffee?

Posted by McGehee on May 22, 2003 at 8:58 AM


Conlatulation! Actually, ever wonder when the first libel lawsuit comes in?

McGehee: look who followed you into this msg. board.. hahahah. :P

Posted by Jay on May 22, 2003 at 12:40 PM


Good god, Dean... You're proud of that? (slap - whack... stand up straight... on your feet)

Listen; I won't consider that you're doing your job until they threatenten you with some kind of federal action. Really. When they start printing your stuff and getting pats on the head from the FBI, then you're in the Too Much Fun Club.

Come on, man. Tough-up. I know you can do it.

(Ps. -- Ineverlikedyou)

Posted by Billy Beck on May 22, 2003 at 2:08 PM


Jay obviously has good taste in blogs to comment on.

Posted by McGehee on May 22, 2003 at 3:26 PM


Okay, buttwipes. Your readers suck but they've embarrased me into using capitalization. ...but not into bein' nice!!! BALLFACE!!!
You have no idea who this is, do you?
Die.

Posted by Cody Bishop on May 22, 2003 at 4:38 PM


Ballface. What insightful commentary. Is this one of your friends, Dean or have you just made him up to get yourself into the big leagues ;)?

lol

Posted by Inscrutable American on May 23, 2003 at 4:09 AM


Say, "Cody," I'm still waiting for the recipe for those puppy smoothies.
