I am a douche, and this is my bag
My friend and former roomie Kevin (aka OrinWolf) sent me Eric Moore's (aka RootDruid) reaction to my referring to his hacking abilities as "dubious" in "I Lived With A Texas Drag Queen Above A Cell Phone Store In Brooklyn," one of the more heavily trafficked areas of my website.
Kevin Cantrell: You touched a sore spot.
Jason Bentley: I'm provacative :-)
Kevin Cantrell: Hee.
Jason Bentley: And I never said he was a poser
Kevin Cantrell: I assume you don't care what he thinks :)
Kevin Cantrell: Correcting him would imply you give a shit though.
Jason Bentley: *eyeroll*
Jason Bentley: Or that you want it to :-)
I like to think that everyone who meets me feels...refreshed...like a whispering meadow after a spring rain.
As with all things that come out of my brain, often my choice of words operates on several levels. "Dubious" was an (perhaps too clever) attempt to tie Eric's stoned expression in the photo to the limited practicality of his geekness when contrasted with the grandiose verbosity of his self-evaluation of his talents.
He boasted dubiously. Get it? *DOOBIE*-ous? As in, like, "reefer." Like the shirt. I guess I really do have to spell it out sometimes.That said, I've no doubt Eric Moore can Mitnick the shit out of your WOPR any day of the week.
We now return to our regularly scheduled multiplexed subreferential linguacode.

OrinWolf: Yea, saw him over thanksgiving
OrinWolf: And yea. That place sucked for the drama
OrinWolf: There's like zero drama now
