He reminds me of LGF, but much funnier, with more original content, and with less commenters. (And I like LGF.) Haha… I love AbbaGav.

If only I had kept my <strike>mouth shut</strike> fingers still, this regrettable and grave state of affairs might never have come about. In the words of the late, great Steve Goodman: <code>If everybody had ESP everything would be ok. We could see trouble coming and we could step out of the way. When the grim reaper comes to call we could arrange to be out of town. It would be the great escape and you could put it on video tape. </code> From the song Video Tape, which I heard him perform a few decades ago. Don't even think of buying Say It In Private, though, or any of Goodman's CDs, for that matter. He was a gifted writer, you see (his City of New Orleans became a Top-40 hit for Arlo Guthrie), and if you listen to him you may find that he stole a lot of your unwritten essays. And then I'd feel REALLY terrible. Meryl, I’m truly sorry that I suggested that you blogroll AbbaGav.

So 4 strikes really don't bother me much at all, but your point is duly noted.
