Well.

There's a strange thing happening over on my MySpace page.

Some guy I have never heard of has left a comment on my MySpace blog, apparently in need of assistance in a financial transaction regarding my brother. I am leaving his bad spelling and punctuation intact.

Curtis:
id suggest you get your brother jon landerman to refund my money before he loses his job and has a court date to deal with. i will not be stolen from

Since I don't know what the sam hill this guy is talking about, and the silly bugger never even introduced himself, I responded to his comment thusly:

Me:
You are a complete stranger to me. I don't know you at all.

As such, you don't have the right to begin ANY kind of communication with me without at least a HELLO and some details about who you are. That's how most civilized people begin an interaction.

Good luck dealing with my brother, and try and be nicer to people when you first interact with them. It will leave a much better impression than you've left with me.

Then a little later when I was chatting with Jamie, I told him what was afoot. He went and contributed to the comment thread as only he could.

Jamie:
Who the phuck is this douchebag?

And I answered:

Me:
I don't know. He didn't bother to introduce himself before he began issuing orders.

And finally, Old Buddy Dave weighed in:

Dave:
The following is all IMHO.

1) This should have been done in private e-mail, not in the public forum. What if the Jon Landerman you're referring to is NOT related to this person?

2) A polite "hello" would have helped.

3) A bit more info - in private, of course - would also be nice. "I am such-and-such, I know Jon Landerman due to thus-and-so, my problem with him is this-and-that, can you help?"

4) "Please" and "thank you" are universally considered Good Things To Say.

If you think I'm talking to you like you're a child...well, you acted like one. Fair's fair.

Be seeing you.

So, we shall eventually figure this out, I guess. In the meantime, if you have anything to add over there, be my friend. :-)

As for what on earth my brother has done this time? I don't know and I don't want to know.

He's stepped in Something Somewhere, and I'll just let him ooze his own way out. He usually does, so I'm not worried.

Ruth Brown passed away.

Once in a while there is a character actor who makes a role, and she was one of those who did.

She was Motormouth Maybelle in the original Hairspray.

Rest in peace, darlin'.

Okay, That's it. Happy Saturday, kids
