Happy New Year Guys -
Tiddling on Tom's turf, old Edgy hedged:
> one liners [sic] will not cut it here in the long run.
Ah, but in the short run, they may be at least as amusing
as seeing how many times one poster can screw up simple
compound words; is he going for another record?
>... same old lame brain [sic] musings ... don't over do
>[sic] it ... nutty as a fruit cake [sic] ... Stern is
>a scum bag [sic - again] ...
This newsgroup has seen typos, errors and misdemeanors -
does this qualify as a compound felony?
>Are you also a Jew scumbag?
Can a compound word properly spelled be considered
circumcised?
>I do regard myself as worthy of being placed along side
>[sic - yes, yet again] all those King Edwards.
Close, but no cigar...
>I have been accused of being [a minor nuisance] myself
>from time to time.
Who said "minor"?
>I am the funniest guy I know.
FUNNY: 1. Ha-ha. 2. EWW-WW! GROSS!
- or -
It's the internet; smell doesn't count. Maybe a JPG or an
MP3 would help make the point?
>We have a street here in town that is named Strait Avenue.
Is that where all the gay bars are?
>Learn how to read why don't you. [sic]
Learn how to punctuate; why don't you? E.g.,

Liberals like lemmings, most go to the sea at some point
in their lives, and sooner or later they all perish -
though not usually by the sea. But hey - two and a half

If this is the hidden clue to our mystery movie of the

Of course many net noodges don't realize that most
websites they visit have simple monitors which create
semi-permanent records of statistics for visiting surfers
(including data such as their IP addresses) so that it's
fairly easy for a website operator (like me) to see which
pages have been visited from a given ISP and geographic
area, like... oops, this is getting pretty long for a
one-liner, isn't it?
>I have a closed mind on the subject and I refuse to
>entertain any new thoughts on the matter.
I believe that says it all; we'd like to thank Edgy for
his participation, and if anyone wants any further input,
we'll be real sure to send him an email. Anyone else -
please feel free to add your own quick quips to this
thread (off-topic, but apparently more and more mainstream
lately). Have fun!

Wayne

Howdy folks -
In the 'Tandem Bike-Riding "Technique"?' thread, the
Wogster sensitively voiced his concern for the TROLL's
mental health, saying:
>I have yet to see anything Edward has written, that
>wasn't depressing, or sad. I think he needs to see
>someone about that...
Yes, and I suppose as his most outspoken detractor, I
should, at least temporarily, shuck the one-liner
shtick and volunteer to help him overcome his
"inimitable style". Here goes:
To start with, the most basic advice given to all
author wannabes: Never try to write about something
that you don't know anything about. E.g., it's likely
that most ARBR readers have about the same level of
confidence in the validity of Edgy's concerns about
stability of a modern tadpole at 15 MPH as they do for
his repeated claims of immaculate conception. Whether
his bizarre attitudes, observations and opinions about
women are products of sincere ignorance or his oddly
argumentative nature is anybody's guess...
NOTE TO ED: If you value your credibility, I'd give
serious second thought before you share any further
convictions that dissecting and endlessly discussing a
frumpy old poem about Hamlet, a guy named Prufrock and
some creepy crawlies at the bottom of the ocean "is
very exciting to do... and most [contemporary college]
students love it." BEEP-BEEP-BEEP! REALITY CHECK!
But the TROLL's major problem seems to be that he thinks
good writing consists of taking a 15-word idea (original
or more likely otherwise) and then confusing (if not
completely losing) it in 12 paragraphs of superfluous,
repetitive, hackneyed, ill-tempered, stilted drivel. Of
course, usually before writing, he digs through that
pile of 1950s magazines in his dining room to plagiarize
a cultural commentary from an old New Yorker (if he can
find one that isn't soaked in cat pee). Then he digs an
archaic, obtuse word from the vocabulary column of an
old Reader's Digest, and tosses that in even though it
has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the post.
TIP FOR ED: Insisting over and over again that
"repetition is of the essense [sic]" tends to convince
most readers of the exact opposite.
For example, ol' Edgy has dumped this plagiarized bit
upon us numerous times now: "I grow old. I grow old.
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled." How
much better it would have been to write it only once,
but blend in a hint of Jenny Joseph's 'Warning' (aka
'When I am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple') and flesh
it out with some honest personal detail - like this,
maybe:
Chronologically I am old. Physically, mentally and
spiritually I am very, very old - ancient. I ride my
clunky old Comfort Cycle around town wearing dark brown
Dickies Husky work pants - the old ones with the rolled
cuffs - rather than cycling gear. I think it's better
to try to blend in, and discourage all those rumors my
neighbors keep spreading about an old single guy living
alone except for his cats. But every now and then a cuff
gets caught in my nasty, greasy chain; ooh, don't you
just hate that?
What I really want to wear is hanging in my closet:
a pair of Vivid Violet mid-calf lycra tights. A "strait"
guy might call them purple, but they are - oh - so much
more than that. One of my favorite dreams is that some
day (or is it 'someday'?) for one of their shows the Fab
Five will do a makeover of an aging Midwestern recumbent
cyclist, and he'll wear a pair of tights just like mine.
See how much more real and believable that is? How it
captivates the reading audience?
TIP FOR READERS: If you're going to sample T.S. Eliot, go
with 'Cats'.
TIP FOR THE TROLL: Get rid of those damned musty, musky
old magazines. If you expect to make new friends, go with
cats.

Wayne

I am an expert on myself. That is what my messages are all about almost 100%
of the time. If others find me interesting that should not concern you. If
and when others do not find me interesting it will be time for me to find
greener pastures. However, it must be noted that I pay equal attention to
anyone who responds to me, so it is a two-way street in any event. By the
way, that is also why I am not a troll. I engage with others, something a
troll never does.

Do some research on the great poets of the 20th century. You have been
examining your own navel exclusively long enough.

Repetition is the basis of all learning. Everyone has to have knowledge and
culture pounded into them, most particularly you.

No, it is perfect the way I do it. I choose not to trivialize everything
like you do. You should confine your trivializations to yourself since that
is what you are, a trivial person. I realize it can't be much fun to be a
failed poet who is stuck running a shop. The best shop keepers are women.

But all the above would be you, not me! Good Grief! You write the way you
want and I will do the same. Let us leave it to the reader as to who is the
more interesting person to read. I believe I have a better take on the ARBR
reader than you do. Again, if I were writing for Atlantic Monthly, I would
know how to get up to speed, but that kind of effort is wasted here.
I will of course only reference T.S. Eliot when I am on the subject of the
meaninglessness of life.
By the way, there is no natural flow to your writing, unlike your verse. You
are difficult to read. You should have someone critique your writing
sometime. There is much room for improvement. You vaguely remind me of NYC
as your styles are similar in some respects. You definitely need more focus
as you consistently come across as scatterbrained.

Hey again gang -
The TROLL openly complimented my flippant imitation of
his writing:
>Words are strung together which upon reflection make
>no sense.
Praise modestly accepted. I was afraid I'd have a harder
time capturing the full flavor of his purportedly
inimitable style.
When I complied with his wish to see a high-speed stable
ride on his tadpole, he (not too surprisingly) reneged,
saying:
>Nope, can't be done! Not on my TT, and not on the
>fabled Greenspeed either.
Greenspeed is not a fable. Although we don't sell their
tadpoles in our shop, I've ridden with at least 10 or 12
in our local recumbent rides, and I'm sure that all of
them exceeded 15 MPH at some point. In fact we didn't
lose any of them even flying from Ojai or Rincon Hill
down to Ventura, where speeds are apt to be at least in
the 30s.
To my tease that he might become wealthy enough to retire
from TROLLing here at ARBR, he commented:
>Wealth has little to do with intelligence.
I see... sort of like that reply has little to do with
my comment? Or did he mean to say that he might become
rich enough, but he'll never get st enough?
Then the TROLL tramped off to complain about me in the
'Most Impt Innovations of Past Few Years?' thread (off
topic, but what's new about that?):
>[Wayne] proofread[s] other's [sic] messages for typos
>and other trivial types of errors.
Although there is, in fact, only one 'other' that I try
to show the error of his egotistically incompetent ways,
once again, the pretentious pedant failed to compose even
this simple sentence structure without a screwup.
But butthead Ed blathered on with banal bit of blasphemy:
>I would never take you [Tom] to task for [a typo]...
One wonders if this TROLL honestly has a REAL(!) serious
short term memory problem, or if he truly is dumb enough
to believe he can BS his way through a brick wall. If
anyone who cares somehow missed it, let me make it clear:
part of my purpose in pinging this TROLL is to point
out the irony of his pompously snide posts in the past,
picking nits in other posters' serious, sincere, on-topic
messages. Mr. Kettle [aka the TROLL] is not only a black,
black pot on the outside; he's charred by hellfire all
the way to the depths of his devious old soul.
Next he blundered into the '99% of cyclists do not like
trolls' thread, commenting on Gary's fairly accurate
description of our TROLL, with this piece:
>I am going to save it and give it to [Wayne], who thinks
>I am a troll. It will clear up the matter once and for
>all.
That should have read 'knows', not "thinks", but sadly
it seems to have made no more of an impression on ARBR's
TROLL than the previous (roughly 200?) postings saying
essentially the same thing about him, and begging him to
cut the crap. But it may be interesting to see exactly
how he's going to "save it and give it to" me. Reminder
to Ed: It's the year 2006 - the internet, all that sort
of newfangled stuff, you know?
In the 'We keep hearing about cyclists' thread he carps:
>There is an amazing amount of cross posting going on
>here lately...
Hmm-mm-mm... did he mean 'short-tempered messaging' or
cross-posting? He does have a hard time with compound
words, but that doesn't explain why he started the 'any
inspirational stories?' thread on ARBR as a reply.
Computers, tadpoles, simple English composition -
TROLL: 0 for 3.
More? ...

My style IS inimitable which is why I can't disguise myself like some
others.

The Greenspeed is the tadpole to which all other tadpoles are compared.
Therefore, it is fabled in that sense.

I know two others who have Greenspeeds and they experience exactly the same
phenomenon as I do on my TT. They do not handle well at speed.

I am as poor as a church mouse and have been all of my life. I do not let
this bother me in the least because I know I am wealthy in culture. I do not
know what I would do with wealth. I am already wealthy in leisure, the only
kind of wealth that matters to me. With my leisure I pursue culture
(science, literature and the arts)) What else is there that is more
worthwhile than that?

The above would read better if you put it into verse, would it not?
Every message is sui generis with me and there is little if any connection
among my messages. I am strictly a responder and not a troll at all. Did you
not read Gary's message about trolls? You are on a wild goose chase if you
think you can pin me down by resurrecting my old posts.

I sometimes think you are only reading my messages, so I wanted to make sure
that you read Gary's message about trolls by referencing it. As you can so
plainly see, I do not meet any of the criteria that he sets forth for a
troll. Truth to tell, you are more a troll than I am as well as being a
stalker. The latter is the greater evil by far. You need to look in the
mirror more. You are making a fool of yourself by your carrying on so.
[...]
but that doesn't explain why he started the 'any
> inspirational stories?' thread on ARBR as a reply.
Why not bring an interesting subject to ARBR? There is not much else going
on here except for a lot of idiots saying nothing. I am going to do this
more and more, mainly from RBM. That group did not allow itself to be
destroyed by Ed Gin and Associates, unlike ARBR.
It should be noted that Wayne Leggett, the Poet of ARBR, did absolutely
nothing to defend ARBR from the criminal vandal troll. I hold him in
contempt for that, not for his execrable verse. It is one thing to be stupid
and a bad writer, but it is quite another thing to be a coward.

PS. I believe I will take this thread to RBM in the future as they might
enjoy it too. No one else on ARBR is reading any of this and I do not write
for just one person. I like to write for an audience of hundreds.

I got all of that years ago in my youth. While you and the other denizens of
ARBR were out pursuing women, jobs and getting drunk, I was pursuing
knowledge. I probably stayed in college longer than I should have, but it
was the cheapest place for me back then. I had quite a reputation of being a
bookworm. In fact, for about 20 years I had no life at all other than what
I could get out of a book. That is all I ever did night and day. It is
wonder I did not lose my sight altogether.
These days I am mostly pursuing health as I am at risk of dying any year now
(aren't we all). I do not read much at all I must admit. I like to watch TV
(I recently got digital cable TV), listen to music and I surf the world wide
web on my computer and find all kinds of crazy things there to amuse me
(including this newsgroup). Of course I still bicycle, but not in the winter
anymore. I prefer to go for 2 hours walks instead. But when the weather
turns humane again I will bike for a couple of hours every day, mainly just
around town. I do not like to go out of town because the damn wind is always
blowing up a storm (even though there is no storm).
I believe if I had some money I would get the hell out of Minnesota as I am
miserable here in the winter. I simply can't take cold and I am cold all the
time lately. I think my cardiovascular system is getting ready to give up
the ghost. I just turned 70 so I have now become ancient by all past
historical standards.

Ancient? Hardly. My Father in law who died last year was 89. My Mothe in law
who also died last year was 95. Although some of my family is short-lived,
others are quite long lived. I think there is hope for me if I lose a few
pounds and stop playing in traffic. I wish you many more year Ed (assuming
that you are basically happy and enjoying being alive).

Hey guys (and at least one girl?!!!) -
While trying to clear some brush from under one of our
local bridges, I ran across an ugly critter who calls
himself Ed, who said:
>I have written very little in the course of my life...
If his writing at ARBR is typical, I can see why. It has
taken him so many words to write so little here; perhaps
a bit less repetition?
>When you read you do not necessarily become a proficient
>writer.
Especially if you model your style after the screenplay
of an early talkie, a Jane Austen tale where the dialog
writer was making a serious dent in the studio's wine
budget, while producing jewels such as: "Henceforth,
scoundrel, forego ever to the province of vandals and
villains, thus consorting with knaves of the nether
regions and castigating the profundity of libidinous
onanists to the perpetual sorrow of great saints..."
This TROLL is so fickle. Only a few hours after he doted
on NYC because he could "write a post a hundred times
better than" me, when I pointed out that NYC had popped
off a top post or three, ol' Edgy changed his tune to:
>All top poster [sic] are idiots and will continue to be
>idiots until the day they die.
I'm sure that's the hidden clue to this week's mystery

Wayne only knows individual words. He does not know how to string them
together so they make any sense. But that is the way his verse is too. Words
are strung together which upon reflection make no sense.

Fine writing has fallen on hard times for the past several generations. I
attribute it to the TV and the computer. No one is reading works of
literature anymore. The 19th century was a golden age of literature and we
will never see its like again. Instead, we are stuck with idiots like Wayne
who is just barely literate and is devoid of all taste. The latter is the
more serious omission.

The above paragraph contains one semicolon and one colon respectively. Wayne
can't write anything without resorting to these useless crutches. That is
because he can't compose the kind of sentences that don't require them. His
verse, which does require them, has made him stupid.

Hey guys -
Mike Rice asked:

No. Rice is nice; we like Mike. I seriously appreciate the
calm, conciliatory - but not concessionary - tone of most
of Indiana Mike's postings. E.g.,
>I don't mind Ed when he's being close to civil.
But please bear in mind that "close to civil" is about the
best we're likely to get from this TROLL. As Jeff Grippe
said about Ed in another lifetime, quite accurately even
if (uncharacteristically) a tad unkind:
>>You can't "be nice". You can "act nice" for short

Mike mused:

>his voice would be a smaller percentage of total
>messages.
Ah, but sadly one of the defining characteristics of a
true TROLL - despite its pathetic attempts to redefine
the term to fit anyone who has made it a tad mad lately -
is that it is still very likely to do its worst in
reply to almost every post. Note that 10 of 21 posts in
this thread are the TROLL's. The more other folks write,
the more prolix the TROLL becomes, even though most of
its blather is blatant repetition. Speaking of which,
this rant redux from the rabid rascal:
>You will note how much shorter my time is going to be
>spent on you henceforth [sic].
Whoa! Was that stilted mess supposed to mean: "I will
spend much less time replying to you from now on"? If so:
Promises, promises... but maybe he should at least try
to keep it down to a single reply for each of my posts?
The noise continues:
>... if I [Edgy] am not reading what he [Wayne] is
>writing, then that means no one is.
Hmm-mm... Isn't that very close to the classical clinical
definition of insanity?
>NYC [posts] a hundred times better than Wayne. Heaven's
>[sic] to Betsy...
Have we finally convinced the TROLL that top posting (3
out of 4 on this thread for NYC) is really not all that
bad? I especially liked NYC's one word one-liner: "Gong!"

Which I believe is about as close as one can get in
TROLL-speak for "I'm a sloppy, lazy and embarrassingly
incompetent writer". Oh well, it's at least a ginal
improvement over this crap from a year or so ago:

The letters are fine; it's the words that need work, and
the types of errors proliferated by this TROLL highlight
three issues for which "the clarity is crystal clear":
Ed has no talent for writing; if he has had any serious
training in creative or technical writing, he has long
since forgotten most of it; and the poor putz has never
had a purposefully proficient proofreader peruse his
pitiable prose.
>[Wayne] is a bit of a wordsmith, but that is all he is.
Now that hurts! This TROLL is so fickle. Just last year
he assured me I was an Olympic class athlete since I can
ride a tadpole trike faster than 15 MPH without waggling
all over the road. I guess he was just 'acting nice'...

It is really quite laughable how the Poet of Poop thinks he can improve on
my style by substituting his. My meaning is crystal clear whereas his
rewording does not mean at all what I meant. It just goes to show that you
cannot improve upon perfection.
It does not matter how many replies there are to a post provided the
pertinent passages have been included - or did I already say that once or
twice before?

Wayne is out of his element when it comes to writing simple prose that
anyone we would ever want to read. He overuses the colon and the semicolon,
something only a half educated idiot would do. He gets away with murder with
his verse because no one reads it. That is the advantage of being a poet.
However, I do admit that I am more of a reader than a writer. In fact, I
have written very little in the course of my life, but I have read much.
When you read you do not necessarily become a proficient writer. In order to
become that, you have to write. There is no substitute for it.
Wayne has most likely written more than me, but he is not nearly so well
read as is obvious from his canyons of ignorance which is ever on display
every time he posts a message to ARBR.

I have already told you numerous times that I do not bother with all that
nonsense about compound words. I like to separate them. I can do this
because I am Great. You can't do it because you are a dwarf.
>>... I [Ed] will not spend this much time on [Wayne] ever

I like 'ever again'. You get your style and I will stick to mine. You will
note how much shorter my time is going to be spent on you henceforth.
> Promises, promises... but maybe he should at least try to

All that is ever required is that the relevant complete passages be quoted,
something that you never do. I do that because I am not a scoundrel like you
are.
However, you should just do one of my posts at a time. More than one and we
lose everyone, including me. But your damnable paraphrasing and selective
quotations really turns everyone off. See how others post here and go and do
likewise. I do not think you have the brains God gave you. What happened?
Did you lose them doing drugs?
>>I now have over 6000 posts to ARBR. And there is not
>>one of them [absolute term sic] that is a one-liner.
I like absolute terms. I use them all the time. It is part of my inimitable
style. Get used to it.
> Oh? Then who did write those 37 or so posts last year that
> said only: "More Ed Gin shit"?
I do not consider those to be posts at all. Anyone but Wayne Leggett would
know that shit deserves nothing but shit in return. Since that is what Ed
Gin was doing, I returned the favor. But all of this is way too complex for
a poor poet who has nothing but ass and sex on his pea size brain.
[...]
The rest of Wayne's message is nothing but garbage and I can't be bothered
with it. He will have to learn to post here like everyone else. He ought to
know that if I am not reading what he is writing, then that means no one is.
One other thing - until he stops with the paraphrasing and the selective
quotations, I will just resort to my usual mode of calling him out for what
he is and let it go at that. Life is to short to waste on fools like him.
Even NYC, a newbie to this group, knows how to write a post a hundred times
better than Wayne. Heaven's to Betsy, if you are going to be a troll like
Wayne, then at least try to be an amusing one. All those [ brackets ] are

Guess I should have finished your post before firing off a follow-up.
Are you now going to ask me to limit my responses to one per post?
It does seem that Ed has lightened up on the ol' vino, perhaps given
it up as he has stated. Most of his posts have a greater clarity than
those leading up to his latest 'final farewell'.
Heck (can you tell how tempted I was to use 'Hell's Bells' here?), I
don't mind Ed when he's being close to civil. I only wish we had more

A little emotional content goes a long ways on a group such as this. The
main problem I have with Mr. Sherman is that he seems half dead to me. All
he ever wants to do is just present a few facts. I mean, how dull can you
get?
All of my many final farewells have been about telling everyone to go to
Hell. The clarity is crystal clear to all but the deaf and blind.

It is good to be civil when others are also. However, when confronted with
incivility, the best recourse is to get even more uncivil. Then when it gets
really nasty, it is best to give them the old heave-ho with something like
this:

Have a look at the above mess as given by Wayne. All those brackets are
insane. He is trying to paraphrase me but messing it up so badly that no one
can make head nor tail out of it. He needs to stop with all the selective
quotations and post like everyone else here does. He simply does not have
the brains to know how to edit properly.
Like all poets, Wayne Leggett is severely limited in general intelligence.
He is like a musician that way. They only know one thing, however badly, and
everything else in life is a mystery to them. He is a bit of a wordsmith,
but that is all he is.

I only use that on bona fide idiots. I may start using that on Wayne Leggett
too if he doesn't learn to post properly.
Wayne is not an idiot, but in some ways he is worse than an idiot. He knows
better, yet he does it anyway - just to make himself look good. He has no
regard for the reader at all. Even I find it difficult to read him.
What is really strange is that he has an eye for what looks good in verse,
but it is completely lacking when it comes to what looks good in simple
written prose. Very strange indeed.

Speaking of the edo, I now have over 6000 posts to ARBR. And there is not
one of them that is a one-liner. I am prolix if nothing else. Mr. Sherman
should not have changed his email address like the gypsy that he is. But it
doesn't matter, I was fated to overtake him in any event. No Dane can
compete with an Irishman when it comes to garrulousness.
I believe I will likely remain the all-time champion poster from a single
email address to ARBR for some time to come provided I keep up the good work
of course.

Hey team -
He who claims one of his posts is "full of profundity"
(though it's really just more prolixity) asks (maybe?):
>Who should I ask pray tell. [sic]
If Edgy meant to write "Who should I ask/pray/tell?"
the answer is: Ask Jeeves; pray to God (whomever or
whatever he thinks that might be) - but only tell it
to your most intimate sexual partner (which of course
for him is: the hand).
>... did I already say that once or twice before. [sic]
No. Whatever 'that' was, most likely he's said it 365
times or so within the last year. As a matter of actual
record, he has posed this same query at least 15 times.

Totally out of character, the TROLL actually used a

why is that I wonder?
Did anyone else think Edgy is edging a bit closer to the
brink of total irrationality when he posted (not a link
but the entire text of) a very dull, very LO-O-O-ONG

If he really hoped:

Again, I have to wonder if he really, simply doesn't
understand the difference between Edgar Poe and Edward
Lear. Oh well, to remind him, I'm offering not one but
five lines, inspired by the camel toe subtopic in the
latest helmet thread, but trying to get a little closer
back to the major focus of this newsgroup, of course:
A woman, nude - RECUMBENT - on the bed,
Her legs apart, grinned lewdly up at Ed.
He blanched! Temptation reared its evil head...
But nothing else came up. The lady said,
"Oh, now I see why you have never wed."
Keep smiling,

No, No, it is too much! Here we have the ultimate idiocy, a total moron
taking an editing pen to a masterpiece. It would be like me trying to
improve upon Beethoven. It is just too much for a person to stand.
Here is the complete stanza as it should be read:
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous-
Almost, at times, the Fool.
T.S. Eliot - The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
I posted this poem in its entirety because it is considered one of the 20th
century's greatest pieces of verse. It is required reading in all English
departments everywhere in the world. Classes of students will spend many
weeks just dissecting this one poem and discussing it endlessly. It is very
exciting to do this and most students love it.
When I want someone to really read something important, I will not post a
link. I will instead post exactly what it is that I want to be read.
Wayne will never know how much I am laughing at him for thinking this poem,
"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", is long and dull. Such stupidty is
truly breathtaking. But it is always good to get the measure of a man.

God, what an idiot! He can't read. I said that the poem was full of
profundity, but let me say it here and now too, everything I write is full
of profundity - if you have the wit to see beneath the surfaces. For
instance, when I tell you that Wayne Leggett is an idiot, that is very
profound because it is so true. It strikes to the heart of the matter about
him. To have some skill with words and not to have any judgment about how to
use them ks you as an extraordinary idiot. He would be better off is he
were just any ordinary idiot like so many others here on ARBR.
Wayne Leggett does nothing but paraphrase me or worse, quotes short phrases
out of context.That is because he is scared of me. He either does not know
how to edit or he refuses to do it like everyone else here does. He would
rather paraphrase like all cowards.
Note my posts and this one in particular. I do not do any paraphrasing and I
do not do any editing. That is because I play the game of Usenet fair and
square and Wayne Leggett does not.

What an idiot! Having Wayne Leggett proof read you is like having a
kindergarten kid proof read a college professor.
Wayne Leggett, the onanistic poet, is now corresponding with the libidinous
Jew, NYC. Surely the two of them can get together sooner or later and
consummate their passion, with or without a buxom Negress.

Surely you meant to write that he fell off his bike and hit his head. I
never heard of anyone who fell off his bike on his head. It makes no sense,
just like you make no sense.

Nope, actually that is what Wayne Leggett, the Poet of Poop, is doing right
now. He is trying to define what trolling is, but he is not having much
luck. He is permanently at sea on the subject and we can expect no
enlightenment from him unfortuantely.
And now for some Ed Dolan clarity on the subject: Ed Gin was a troll; Ed
Dolan is Great. He is also very Holy and is known far and wide as Saint
Edward the Great. His Order of the Perpetual Sorrows is strictly reserved
for chaste souls. This lets out the Poet of Poop and his consort, the
libidinous Jew, NYC. Those who pursue buxom Negresses are not welcome in my
Order.

No, I was baiting Perry Butler to post some recumbent content. He is not
really such a bad guy and just needs a bit of encouragement. You, on the
other hand, have never posted anything that I have found worth reading -
except for your very first poem about me when you compared me to a
locomotive. I have saved that to my collection and I still enjoy reading it.
Too bad you decided to take the low road with me and the group. Nget had you
figured out from day one, but I was willing to cut you some slack provided
you cleaned up your act. But that you have failed to do and so I consign you
to the nether regions with all the other idiots who infest ARBR. But hey -
you do what you do and I do what I do. I will leave it to the readers to
decide who is the more interesting and enjoyable to read.

Yes, a poem that is not full of your kind of nonsense (mainly about ass and
sex) will naturally bore you. The previous writer had brought up the subject
of sorrow in reference to my Order (see my signature below) and so I made
something out of it. Don't you wish you could do the same. But when all you
have on your pea size brain is ass and sex, it is very hard to ever
accomplish anything. Wayne Leggett is to T.S. Eliot what a mole hill is to
Mt. Everest.
Wayne Leggett is jealous of me and I do not blame him for this. After all,
there is a lot here to be jealous of. Hells Bells, if I were him, I would be
jealous of me too! But still, it is not an attractive vice. Onanism suits
him better and the libidinous Jew, NYC, will not blame him for this minor
indulgence. In fact, he will most likely want to partake himself. I think
they could establish the Order of Onanists, OO for short. Slugger might want
to joint that Order too. However, no self respecting Negress whore would
want anything to do with either of them, so they will have to choose which
way to go - Onanism or a-Whoring.

I leave weddings to all the fools in the world of which there is never any
shortage. Maybe Wayne Leggett could write a verse or two in praise of
ital bliss instead of his usual subjects - ass and sex.
By the way, Wayne's post was way too long and too rambling and I will not
spend this much time on this idiot ever again. He can either get focused or
he can go to Hell as far as I am concerned.

Hey ARBR folks and whoever else Ed is annoying lately -

>a very limited amount of it with RBM in the hopes of

No phony explanations or lying rationalizations needed -
it's a natural process for a cross poster to become a
cross-poster; it's called degeneration. The only thing
the TROLL has said on the subject that I believe is:
>That way lies bedlam.
More TROLLish treatise:
>... ass and sex... ass and sex... ass and sex... ass
>and sex... ass and sex... ass and sex...
Is that connection hardwired in this TROLL's brain, or
is it yet another "mysterious allusion" to his personal
preferences which we are expected to 'glean from his
prolix profundity'?
Interestingly, the TROLL who swears:
>I never edit posts... I respond completely...
seems to have missed on both counts with his last
(half-assed) reply to mine. Maybe since he cross-posted
it to RBM, he wanted to avoid a bit of self-embarrassment
for hinting at a more intimate relationship with Senator
Kennedy than being merely 'bridge partners'. Even if the
devious deviant has given up denying his limp-wristed
leanings, I suspect he would still prefer that no other
Usenet groups learn he's lusting for a left-wing liberal.
He also seems to have either ignored or accepted my direct
answer to this question:
>> During his many 'final farewells' (another bit of
>> private TROLL humor?), has any real human poster at
>> ARBR ever asked the TROLL to stay or welcomed his
>> return? Nope...
But it seems to me that Ed had a bit of an off night. Was
he maybe spending too much time viewing and re-viewing
pirated VCDs of 'Brokeback Mountain' to meet his usual
quota of bigoted BS on Usenet?
>I can't decided [sic] whether I am more a King, a Great
>Saint or a God!
I'm sure that he would find a much better fit if he would
simply expand his categories to include pitiable speller
and TROLL. After all as I, along with many others, have
pointed out:
>... that is the persona [Ed has] assumed for Usenet
>purposes.
Well, most of us do the best we can with whatever brains
and talents we have; a person who does less but claims
he is capable of much, much more is almost always a
bald-faced liar. The question remains: Is Ed truly dumb
enough to believe he can BS his way through a brick wall?
Like any monkey on a typewriter is bound to do eventually
Ol' Fumble Fingers did come up with one good (even if
hopelessly unoriginal) suggestion:

Don't believe me? Just review his previous post and you will see his mindset
displayed in all its glory. His poetry on ARBR is full of nothing but
allusions to ass and sex. A failed poet is a fearsome thing to contemplate.

Wayne Leggett never gets any responses at all except from me. All the world
knows that poets are sissies and are into themselves. He likes to use lots
of ellipses, colons, semicolons and brackets to show us how dumb he is. But
he does not have to prove anything to me. I KNOW how dumb he is. He is dummy
dumb. I mean dumber than dumb. Like dumb, dumb, dumb.

I would be a fool to waste much time and effort on newgroups that are full
of nothing but idiots. But is Wayne Leggett telling us that this is as goods
he gets. Reread what he has written and come to your own conclusions.

I believe Wayne Leggett has a bike shop (selling recumbent trikes named
LoGo) somewhere in these United States. Would you want to buy a bike from
him or, God forbid, go for a bike ride with him? He used to post his website
address as part of his signature, but he has stopped doing that. He is no
doubt ashamed of himself the way he has been carrying on.
The problem as I see it is that he is jealous of me. Well, I don't blame
him. There is a lot to be jealous of. Hells Bells, if I were him I would be
jealous of me too.

Hey -
My TROLL Detector's flashing red;
Another posting's come from Ed,
Which I may read, but won't reply.
It's time to bid this thread goodbye.
I've poked the TROLL - sharp pointed jabs,
That made him squirm - but all those stabs
Are, in the end, a waste of time,
Like poking some old glob of slime.
The stick pulls out, some gas escapes
That smells a lot like sour grapes,
But then it oozes back... the same,
The way it was before you came.
But still, when all is said and done,
I will admit that it's been fun.
One-liners really aren't my thing;
To Tom, the once and future king
Of quintessential quarrelsome quips
That flag the TROLL's quite frequent slips,
As I conclude my turn at bat,
I'll just say, "Thanks. I needed that."
To those who think that I've been rude
'Engaging' Edgy in a feud,
What can I say? I hope it's helped.
To those who grinned when Edgy yelped
(I'm betting most enjoyed the show),
I grant you absolution; go
In peace, and post without regard
Or thought for TROLLS, although it's hard.
We come from Earth; the TROLL's from s.
He dwells on conflict, weapons, wars.
But in this recent war of wits,
The old TROLL took a lot of hits.
Ed's gun was jammed; his only shells
Were duds - like this one: "Hells [sic] Bells".
Did I attack an unarmed man?
If so, forgive me if you can.
For me this was a one-time prank,
But there's a gun on Sherman's tank
That fires one-liners left and right.
Whenever Ed gets in his sight,
Then Tom will shoot and likely nail
The slimy TROLL - to no avail...
One-liners in the long run may
Not cut it... still, it's FUN to play.
Though ARBR's TROLL won't change, CAN'T learn,
If you feel tempted, take a turn.
But sport or spite should be your goal;
I fear this TROLL will stay a TROLL.

You have never made me squirm. Far from it. I knew your type in the Navy and
have never let trash like that bother me in the slightest. Like them, you
are just into ass and sex. Once I know that about someone, I know all I will
ever have to know about that person.

Tom Sherman is the king of the one-liners. Oddly enough, most newsgroups are
just chock full of one-liners also. I attribute this to the high school
education that most have acquired, never having known the blessings of
higher education.
All newsgroups are basically for idiots. All I am doing here is slumming.
Ignorant slobs are fairly amusing to me provided they keep their distance. I
normally only consort with my equals in the real world whereas all I ever
find on newsgroups are my inferiors.
> To those who think that I've been rude

You should have stayed off ass and sex. That was your fatal mistake. I was
perhaps the one person on this group who could have appreciated you, but you
blew it big time when you wallowed in the gutter.

There has been only one troll on this group since I have been here and that
was Ed Gin. Being off-topic and being contentious does not make one a troll.
It merely makes one an Ed Dolan the Great.

You were the one who came unarmed from the moment you resorted to ass and
sex. You created an insurmountable stumbling block for the both of us once
you did that.

Mr. Sherman will not tangle with me anymore on anything substantial. Most of
his old liberal buddies are now gone from the group so he doesn't have them
for back up like he used to. He has become strictly a one-liner where I am
concerned. I have written him out of the group except on narrow cycling
subjects.

I will stay who I am and I am NOT a troll for the umpteenth time! I am
contentious and I am frequently off-topic. That is all I have ever been and
all I will ever be.

PS. Very nice piece of verse, Wayne. There is not one person in ten thousand
who can do what you do. Do not ever waste your talent by writing about ass
and sex. It is too easy to do that and you can do harder things, like
writing verse for others who would enjoy reading it. It is what being a
writer is all about.

Hey fellow ARBRists -
Jeff asked:
>I'm not stepping on Wayne's toes here am I[?]
NO, NO, NO - absolutely not! Anyone is welcome to vent
a little pent-up frustration on this intentionally and
properly labeled off-topic thread. The TROLL's fair game,
and it's OPEN SEASON - no hunting license required.
Sigh... now if only there was some way we could set up a
bounty. Then maybe we could discourage him from posting
crap like these timeless jewels:
>This thread is as dead as a door nail [sic].
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP! COMPOUND WORD ALERT!

Oh... but what about a person who doesn't "give any
attributions", whatever that might mean? Perhaps I'm,
as the TROLL accuses:
>... dummy dumb. I mean dumber than dumb. Like dumb,
>dumb, dumb.
I believe the point was made - probably not exactly the
one he intended, but I think most readers will get it.
>Others on the group can make up their own mind about
>me [the TROLL]...
I'm fairly certain almost all the regular readers here
at ARBR have been there, done that.
>But is Wayne... telling us that this is as goods [sic]
>he gets. [sic - ?]
No, I would have said whatever it was the TROLL intended
to say without screwing it up so badly that most readers
are left wondering what the BLEEP he meant.
>Hells Bells [sic]...
Good grief! How can even a TROLL continue to miss that
it's: Hell's Bells - with an apostrophe; Heavens to
Betsy - without an apostrophe. How can he repeatedly get
it just exactly ass backwards? At the very least he could
quit overusing expressions he can't even spell. To borrow
a phrase: dumb, dumb, dumb!
>The [TROLL] himself does not always know when he is
>joking and when he is being serious .
That's what happens when the real writer of this kind of
blather not only refers to himself in the third person
but also continually confuses his 'person' with his
'persona'. BTW, "joking" is TROLL-speak for 'trying to be
inane' and "being serious" translates as 'being blatantly
rude and offensive'
>However, there is always a profound component to

Shouldn't that read "profane comment in"?
>Give me Wal-t... Hell, if I were a kid I would get my

Well of course - I think their bicycle department is set
up to precisely match the nondiscriminating palate of a
bargain basement shopper like the TROLL. Who needs
durable components, recumbents, decent tires and stuff
like that? Their adult trikes in particular should appeal
to the TROLL; hey, who wants to ride faster than 8 MPH
anyway?
>I believe Wayne... has a bike shop (selling recumbent
>trikes named LoGo) somewhere in these United States.
I have a purposefully small, low-volume TRIKE shop which
sells other brands of high-end sports touring adult
recumbent trikes in addition to being the US importer
for the Australian-built LoGos. As I write this, we're
moving into a new shop in Ventura (California). I'll post
a link as soon as we're settled in and I've updated the
website(s).
>Would you want to buy a bike from [Wayne] or, God
>forbid, go for a bike ride with him?
My goodness! Is that a sleazy stab at intimidating me
through my business? Actually I was thinking about maybe
putting a note on a testimonials page about the fact
that this TROLL doesn't like me. I certainly don't think
we would lose any sales, and hey, it might even tempt a
customer or two to buy from us...
FWIW, especially for SoCal readers, we sell very few
recumbent bikes, usually only when there's a special
reason or customer request. I recommend Bent Up Cycles
in the San Fernando Valley to most folks looking for a
two-wheeler. Last year more than 100 recumbent riders
rode with our local group; my wife and I didn't miss many
of those rides, and we'll be there twice a month this
year as well. If anyone wants more info about this very
informal (but very fun) bunch, a good place to start is:

>[Wayne] used to post his website address as part of his

I rarely include my website with off-topic posts, since
there's no real reason to do so. Am I ashamed of the way
I've been carrying on? No. I like BROL's recumbent forum,
but when it was down earlier this year, I think it should
have been fairly obvious to most folks why it's important
that we try to maintain a useful alternative, especially
with an open format, like this newsgroup. Ed Dolan, or
whoever writes the crap that's posted here in his name
and as 'nget' (a very mixed-up 'gent'?), is an unpleasant
and oppressive obstacle to the general acceptance and
usefulness of this group.
My first postings directed to this TROLL were a playfully
poetic but sincere attempt to persuade him to tone it
down a bit so that he would stop alienating potential
ARBR participants. I learned very quickly, as have many
others before me, that 'Ed' is either psychotic, or maybe
just too stupid or selfish to care about anything except
the perverse indulgence of his foul temper and (justly)
starved ego to make any compromise for the good of the
group. Oh, he'll BS and lie about it, of course, but two
posts later he'll be right back telling us that we're all
a bunch of idiots, morons, imbeciles, cowards and worse.
So why have I been wasting my time these last two weeks
plonking [US meaning, not UK] the numb skull of this
contrary old reprobate? Well... honestly, mostly because
after tolerating so many months of his bad behavior, it
just felt really, really good to smack him back a little,
you know?
Anyway, was that Ed's reply to my open question:
>> During his many 'final farewells' (another bit of
>> private TROLL humor?), has any real human poster at
>> ARBR ever asked the TROLL to stay or welcomed his
>> return? Nope...
Or this? - the pity ploy:
>I just turned 70... I am miserable here [in Minnesota]
>in the winter. I simply can't take cold...
Deja vu - one moment the TROLL is a sneering egomaniac
demeaning everyone he encounters, or posting a sleazy
half-threat to my business; the next he's a pitiful old
soul all alone in the cold, pleading for comfort and
love. I'd suggest that if the TROLL could truly "be nice"
as opposed to (rarely) 'acting nice', he'd get a lot more
sympathy from ARBR readers. As it is, I suspect that he'd
still be a largely miserable cretin, even here in coastal
Southern California. Warm winter weather's a good thing,
but it ain't everything.
In closing, I must admit that the TROLL made one true
statement today:
>I hate to learn anything new.
Roger, over and out.

I was being poetic and driving a point home at the same time. If you do not
want to be thought dumb, try to originate something occasionally. Playing

But not RBM readers. ARBR readers regard Wayne Leggett as the scummiest poet
who has ever come down the pike. He writes about ass and sex all the time.
Why doesn't he just get ried and be done with it? Surely there is some
slut that will accommodate him.

It is characteristic of Great Ones like myself to refer to oneself in the
third person. But don't anyone else do this, most especially not Wayne
Leggett. He would only get confused and end up not knowing who he was

Anyone who spends a lot of money on kid's bike is insane, besides not having
any sense. But Wayne would like you to stop in his shop and spend a thousand
or so on your kid's bike. After you have done that , please stop and see a
psychiatrist and have your brain examined because there is something
seriously wrong with it.
I urge all cyclists to never exceed 20 mph on any kind of bicycle. If you go
faster than that, I cannot be responsible for what will happen to you. You
have been warned!

The Great Ed Dolan prevents ARBR from being as deadly dull as BROL. When you
want warmed over-death, you go to BROL; when you want some excitement, you
come to ARBR. Elementary, my dear Watson!

His first effort was half-way decent, but then he went into his ass and sex
mode. That is a fatal mistake when you are dealing with Saint Edward the

ARBR is just chock full of the types described directly above. I note that
RBM seems to have its share of such types too. But is not that a
characteristc of all newsgroups everywhere in the world. Let's face it, no
intelligent person with any sefl-respect would be caught dead on a

What does anyone living in southern California know about Minnesota cold. I
sincerely hope that an earthquake, a brush fire or a mudslide will take him
and his miserable bike shop to perdition.
Wayne Leggett is just about the jerkiest jerk I have ever encountered on a
newsgroup. Like I give a damn about his miserable business any more than I
give a damn about him. Talk about ego!
Wayne Leggett has posted innumerable bits of poetry on ARBR where he goes on
and on about masturbation and other sexual subjects and he also likes to
talk as much as possible about ass and excrement. We have termed him the
Poet of Poop because of it.
Wayne Leggett is a failed poet who has ended up running a bike shop which is
ginal at best. He is doomed to fail at that too because he is just into
ass and sex. I think he may have shot his brains on drugs as that is what
artistic failures like him end up doing.
Finally, Wayne Leggett is not only a troll himself, but a stalker. A stalker

his bike shop all day doing nothing but thinking on the Great Ed Dolan.

Hey -
The TROLL (still attempting to BS his way through a brick
wall?) insists:
>Your [Wayne's] "sics" make absolutely no sense to me. Are
>you crazy or what?
Well, for starters they're not my 'sics'; they were put
out there for the world to witness by the ginally
illiterate TROLL his-very-own-self. Am I crazy? No, if I
were, I'd be spouting gibberish like: I am the unfortunate
product of an immaculate conception. Actually I think it's
much more likely that the TROLL is stupid or what.
>Hells [sic] Bells...
If one can't spell a phrase properly, why does he persist
in overusing it? Is he stupid or what?
>... if I were writing for Atlantic Monthly...
They would suggest that you dump it in the Pacific.
>I engage with others... that is... why I am not a troll.
Actually, that is the exact definition of a TROLL - a
dark, unpleasant persona who stakes out a bridge (like
ARBR) and pounces upon everyone who comes along, growling
and stamping around, maybe even gnawing at a leg. Simple,
inarguable fact: Ed = TROLL!
>If and when others do not find me interesting it will be
>time for me to find greener pastures.
If? IF?!!! The TROLL's idea of a private joke, I suppose.
The TROLL redefinition of 'interesting' is: irritating.
For the record, 'when' was at least two years ago. Hard
evidence abounds in ARBR archives - oh, but the TROLL
never looks up anything or goes to links. During his many
'final farewells' (another bit of private TROLL humor?),
has any real human poster at ARBR ever asked the TROLL to
stay or welcomed his return? Nope, I'm pretty sure that
there's no one here who wants to even 'date', much less
become 'engaged' with this TROLL!
The sad truth is that the TROLL considers ARBR a very
green pasture. He has an utterly selfish disregard for
anyone else's time, energy, peace of mind, sense of
caaderie or expectations of the newsgroup's utility.
There have been - historically, for the most part - no
other TROLLS here, and he has (sickly) enjoyed a sense
of uniqueness, and all too often being the center of a
lot of attention, even though it is all negative.
>Teddy [Kennedy] is a thorough going [sic - again]
>skunk[;] I will connect with him more than I ever
>could with any woman.
Okay... but I'm not sure Ted swings that way except in
dire emergencies or in exchange for big-time political
favors. Personally, I wouldn't feel very comfortable
with either of these guys, especially around bridges.
>I have many weapons in my arsenal...
And the TROLL has shot himself in the foot with almost
every single one of them.
More? ...

Have you not noted my signature? I am Great and you are a dwarf. That means
I can write anything any damn way I please. If you don't like, you can lump
it. So why don't you?

Review the messages of Ed Gin from last winter. He was never responsive
although I tried at first to engage him. He was a troll and I am not. Worse
yet, he was a spamming troll who posted on threads that were irrelevant to
his subject, which was all about going fast on some kind of crazy bike.

Wayne Leggett finds me extremely interesting as this thread died and went to
hell ages ago. But still he persists. That is a compliment to me of course.
Yes, I remain the most interesting person ever to post to Usenet in its
entire history. That goes without saying, but I will say it anyway because I
am so Great.

See Ed Gin's posts from last winter. He was the only troll ever to infest
ARBR that I am aware of. I am comabative and that is all I am (besides being
Great of course).

I do not like overly long words and I do not like semicolons, or did I
already say that once or twice before. Oh, by the way, I still don't like
compound words either. The longest word I have used recently was
meaninglessness. God, that is one ugly looking word. It sounds bad too.
Let's leave the long words to the Germans and the semicolons to the verse
scribblers like you.

PS. I have taken this thread to RBM so they can enjoy Wayne Leggett, the
Poet of ARBR (familiarly known as the Poet of Poop), making a fool of
himself. Maybe they can make some sense out of him, because I sure can't. I
mean, I just get so tired of calling him an idiot all the time. Wayne
Leggett is mainly into ass and sex like all failed poets. I have deleted
from this message his custoy allusions to ass and sex to spare the
sensitivities of RBM members.

Hey guys -
I think I'm beginning to see why Tom thinks this is so
much fun. Thus queried Sorneye:
>Prolix?
Chinese clone of a yuppy wristwatch? Improved version of
a popular over-the-counter ointment for delayed sexual
gratification - with New Tongue Tingling Taste?
He who has delusions of being above:

Now seems to have found a new target for his vapid
vitriol: those who lease property. Is nothing sacred?
Maybe 'the funniest guy he knows' was trying to make
a pun? I'd bet not, since he assures us in his own
words:
>[I] am not capable of wit. Alas, I can only do low

How true! I'm thinking maybe F, at most D-minus. In any
case it has to make you a little nervous when this
greatest of all:

If anyone here ever expects to go on a ride with Edgy
(rashly assuming that he ever does ride with real people
as opposed to imaginary friends such as 'nget'), forget
the helmet debate; think athletic cups!
>We do not have any Gays at all in my neck of the woods.
That's odd, since Gay is a fairly common name. Or did ol'
Edgy capitalize the slang term for a male homosexual as
a token of respect? Another little Freudian slip, maybe?

Wow! I know about 'nget', but I had no idea Ed's Multiple

Isn't that very close to the classical clinical definition

Lesser, lessor, it is all the same to the Great One. But Wayne Leggett
should always strive to be correct because he never has anything to say that
anyone would want to read. When that is the case, then at least correctness
can count for something, however minor.

Nothing but a typo. I do not know why my spell check does not pick up stuff
like this. An interesting thing about most typos is that they do not impede
understanding at all. You really have to mess up a word before you cannot
get its meaning.

I think what often happens is that I don't always use the spell check on
every paragraph. The ones I miss are going to be full of typos. Get used to
it.

Simple compound words are for simpletons like Wayne Leggett (LoGo). Great
Ones like Ed Dolan are above and beyond such mundane considerations.

Scum bag or scumbag - all one and the same. But Jew scumbags are the worst

Nay, we do not want to have any pictures on Usenet. That is the province of

Nope, there is no way the Poet of Poop can possibly write a message to

We do not have any Gays at all in my neck of the woods. That kind of thing
is reserved for the likes of Wayne Leggett who knows about it and could no
doubt tell us a thing or two about how that world functions. Poets are
notoriously sissified if not actually gay.

It is my impression that lemmings periodically go to the sea and drown, thus
ridding the world of too many lemmings. If only liberals would go and do
likewise.

I can always count on Wayne Leggett to return to a source of inspiration,

Great Ones like Ed Dolan use capitals whenever it suits their fancy.
However, this is not for lessor mortals like Wayne Leggett.

It will always pay anyone to view anything that the Great Ed Dolan has
written, no matter the newsgroup. And it is all for free too.

Emails will be ignored because Great Ones like Ed Dolan only write for an
audience of hundreds. Furthermore, emails are for pleasantries, not for
castigating my inferiors such as Wayne Leggett, the Poet of Poop.
