This is surreal. I've been giggling uncontrollably for about a half an hour. I finally had to go lock myself in the employee restroom to gain composure. I'm not kidding.

You deserve all of it! Did you check the site I made? Click on "Claude Prez Site" Above^^^ Check it out and sign the guestbook! Keep makin' parodies! tj out

Wow, TJ... this brought tears to my eyes. I'm sure Claude will remember this tribute, always. Great job! I hope this makes number one!

OH MY HECK. I think I'm gonna cry.

Very proud of you TJ! Very nice, But I don't think Claude is 10. Are there 10 year old mailmen in Illinois, Claude? >Giggling<

L@@king for Spaffy to ring in , anytime now.

Already rang, Diiiva. I'm the aforementioned prez of the Prez Fan Club. (Claude's not a member - we declined his application.) And I'm still trying to get control of my faculties.

Gee Claude- I didn't know you could vote 5 times :-) Kidding- you deserve it man.

P.S. Not 10. Ten AND A HALF.

Will the real TJ Spindler please stand up? Spaffy, I your just mischevious enough, to pull a stunt like this ! LOL! You could have done a little better job on that website background... Purple haze!

TJ Mystery Solved, but who is Static?

Diva, I think Spaff meant that he, not Claude as TJ assumed, had posted the "Prez of the Prez Fan Club" comment.

Yeah, if Spaff had time for something like this he'd have some splainin' to do. TJ, I think I know someone who deserves this way more than me. Did you know Spaff has a CD out? (The name escapes me but I hear it's good). Just if he invites you to his ranch for the weekend I'd pass on it. Anyway, thank you very much; I've never had my very own website before and it's all I could ever dream of; the song made me laugh a lot too. PS: Don't you think "The Spaff-letic Supporters" would be a great name for a fan club? Claude way out.

Mel: Correct as usual.
Diiiva: Thanks for the compliment (I think), but as much as I would like to be TJ Spindler, I am, alas, not.

I do wonder, however, whether Claude and I are actually the same person.

Me too.

And don't be dissin' my ranch. It's aaaaaawesome. I have hot cocoa, and rides, and even a monkey (not a room full, just one). He occasionally gets naughty, however, so my visitors and I have to, um...

Beat It?

(Pardon me for a moment while I wipe the tears from my eyes.) You know how "PYT" means "Pretty Young Thing"? Same rule applies to "Billie Jean."

It seems that I never can say goodbye. I'd make another comment but it wouldn't be germane. All right gotta go.

OK, take a hike, Germane, er, Claude. So now I'm just talking to myself, but I'm used to that. What I was getting at in that last comment is that The Gloved One's albums are full of "clues." No, really. Everyone could have seen this crisis coming had they just paid attention to the secret messages in his album covers and lyrics. I can't divulge them all, of course, or they'd subpoena me, but consider this: "Say Say Say" is Italian for "Six Six Six." I kid you not.

Dude, that is freaky.

Dude, I know.

Someone is being clever with this child persona. Perhaps, it will remain a mystery. It's been interesting and amusing although, he could have done without spamming the authors. That was very underhanded.
This "Golden Child" has earned his place in the comment section. I suppose since no one has to log in with a user ID , this type of deception cannot be avoided. Kudo's to Mr. Spindler ( who ever you are ?) for producing a mischeivous and creative commentary. Thanks for all the promtional marketing you have done for the other authors, including myself. I guess that's a good thing.

Yeah... why is that? Kinda freaks me out that someone could use my name to write something nasty... or threaten the president. Oh BTW good parody and where can I sign up for the club?

Diiiva, LeLo, et al.: I can assure you that "TJ Spindler" is not a persona created or perpetuated by me, and from what I know about Claude, I'm certain it's not him. Personally, I do not doubt that TJ is a living, breathing, prepubescent overachiever. I'm being totally serious here. For him to be a hoax, it would have to be a very elaborately detailed one, and if there's someone out there who really has the time and energy to orchestrate something like that, it damn sure ain't me. Maybe I'm being suckered here too, but I doubt it.

That said, I'm starting to wonder if "Michael Pacholek" and "Guy DiRito" are the same person. ;)

Spaff, Im a huge fan! I'm a huge fan of Claude, I'm a huge fan of Melhi. I'm just not convinced TJ is a child, that's all. Let's just leave it at that. I'm Sorry =( If I had caused any discord, by thinking it was you, Spaffy. Please forgive me. =(

PS, I doubt, with any logical braincell left in my cranium, that MP and GD are one in the same.

No apology needed, Diiiva. Your suspicion doesn't bother me in the slightest. I just wanted you (and ellipsis and Leah and everyone else) to know that I am not TJ Spindler. I once submitted a parody in Claude's monkey room, but other than that, the only character I play is me.

Correction: The only *author* I play is me. I'll occasionally submit a comment with something else in the Your Name field (like I did above with "Prez of the Prez Fan Club" above) - but just to be silly, not to create confusion or pretend to be someone else. Spaff out.

My Bad.. I guess I take it all a little more seriously than most. I was one of first writers, that was spammed by TJ. He offered an apology, only after he was confronted with, the possibility of being banned from the site. Since then, TJ has been more of a socialite. References, and / or witnesses are available upon request.

And the only other name I go by is "Wild Man".

Responding to Spaff's 1:45:42 comment:
Whoever posted on December 04, 2003 at 8:39:51 PM was not me; I never use 4 dots. Someone was obviously trying to impersonate me. I am well aware that Spaff and TJ are two different people.

Claude the "mod"
Claude the "rod"
Claude the "bod"
Claude the, dare I say it..."god" ?

Right on Claude!

I'm starting to think you're ALL just one person and I'm like, on candid camera. ;-)

Well Claude, Wild Man isn't using it, so you go right ahead. Guess you haven't heard the latest...

Diva, aww, thanks and right back atcha! :)

Note to self: "..." is NOT the same as "...." Those identity thiefs will stop at nothing, not even a period.

Leah: We ARE all the same person. Our real name is Megan Carlson, 46, of Tempe, AZ. But please don't divulge that secret to other newcomers to the site - it kinda wrecks the effect.

Diiiva: I don't know about C4P, but *I* haven't heard the latest. Whazzup? Did Wild Man decide to become Not Wild Anymore?

TJ: Bet you never expected this many comments.

Quote That said, I'm starting to wonder if "Michael Pacholek" and "Guy DiRito" are the same person. ;) Unquote I am not.

WM has dropped the chalupas . He says that not interested in parody writing anymore.

He'll be missed.

I'm using the internet @ Circuit city!!!

Wild has retired? That sucks! Diiva, please tell him so. Nicely.

SPAFF... RE: WILD MAN I'm surprised he kept at it, as long as he did. Must have been the the charming personalities at the site, that keep him going. After our vacation to Daytona, he wasn't that enthusiastic about writing. He made attempts to read large volumes of parodies, but admited he couldn't do a tributie parody without seeing the site every day. Our last few duets, he didn't have much input. After coaching football this season, he was toast. He's doing a lot of charity work now, with his new pirate krewe (mostly people from his work). They visit hospitals and have food drives. Actualy, it's good to see him spend time doing community things, that's stuff that he enjoys also.

Krewe? Y'all into the Mardi Gras thing? If so, I don't blame Wild a bit for doing that instead of this. As for doing charity work instead of writing parodies, um, perhaps he should reevaluate his priorities.

Who knows Spaffy? One day, he may get the inspiration to write again... ???? It's very typical for him to try a hobby, and then be disinterested in a few months time. In Tampa we have a variation of the Mardi Gras, with a pirate festival and parades.
