Thanks Ed. Made me laugh. Unfortunately it’s Farrell who’ll have the last laugh – all the way to the bank. Lesson learned: any future enemata from this fool will be a must to miss.

Great story. My brother read the other fable. He said that all the character’s are dead next time use the same technic and no one will ever prove you wrong. I called Kim Basinger(next time mis-spelling the names may help, follow Richie’s example) She told me she performed fine., It was you that didn’t and that’s why the law suite was dropped.

I just read Farell’s oped piece and found it full of bull shit. He’s inserted half-truths and lies into his real life story line, just enough truth to avoid outright discovery.

Then I found your parady–good fun.

There must be a special place in hell for people who create lies about their dead relatives in order to make money from the public deception.

Well Ed, I hope you contacted Chris Brogan and Robert Scoble to learn how to monetize your box existence. (And set up time and place of your boxing match with Scoble.) But per your box existence, here’s a tip: even if you are in absentia as you go on what you might want to call The Torso Tour, I believe (as I think you have mentioned here before) that you possess a detachable penis. Use it to your advantage as many who may visit your box will appreciate the phallic reminder of your dynamic presence that you’ve left behind. Also, contact the folks at SNL to see if you can get permission to use the “Dick In A Box” song, for a real multimedia experience. And while we’re talking about boxing, lets not forget, that what is twitter but the thoughts of a bunch of dicks in a little box?

Your parody is wonderful, especially since Farrell’s own writing is already a self-parody. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll cut off both of my hands.

“In this kingdom of illusions we grope eagerly for stays and foundations. There is none but a strict and faithful dealing at home, and a severe barring out of all duplicity or illusion there. Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Illusions”

Wow, unless you think it’s fictional that’s kind of a douchebag thing to parody. Did we have some shortage of detached bitter irony and a surplus of heartfelt sentiment that escaped my attention? Do you feel completely awesome for making fun of somebody’s dead dad?

Jesus, Ed, where do you find these appalling articles to parody? “I’m not a cripple,” indeed. I’m sure my parents were disappointed that I was born a Jew, but they didn’t abuse me for it!
