I’m sorry to have to say this, but this site is no longer about you Mark. It’s bigger than that now. It’s got a life of its own. You’re just the Dr. Frankenstein who brought it to life. Now this monster, which bares your name, is making it’s way down to the village where it will be raping and pillaging. Man are the townspeople going to be pissed at you.
I like the Frankenstein analogy a lot, and I wish that were the case, but I fear that the movie Magic comes a lot closer to hitting the mark.

I don’t like the raping analogy, dammit. Nor does the monster comparison hold. This site is more like a giant purple dinosaur that nurses my infantile foibles, allowing them to fully bloom into something resembling social functioning. Without this site’s giant Barney teat, my flaws would be manifested monster-style. (Sorry–I tried for a zany, off-the-wall analogy, only to come up with something gender-bending and insulting–but it was heartfelt).
By the way, I don’t remember Frankie Jr. raping anybody. He just wanted to be loved–is that so wrong?
Oh crap. I just watched the Magic clip. Mark, your blog talks to you? Put the knife down.

I found Anthony Hopkins’ portrayal of Mark Maynard absolutely uncanny. It was like being right there with Mark, late at night, when he’s coming up with another one of his diabolical threads to post.
This site “bares” your name? Oh, my god I can see your name’s underwear, and it’s a thong! Bare all, baby!
Yeah UBU, I realized I used the wrong “bear” after I posted my remarks. Mark refuses to be my proof reader and editor, and I think he may even get a little joy out of displaying my stupidity for all to see. That’s just consistent with the psychology of a mad scientist type like him.
I figured out another potential movie analogy for your relationship with your blog. Do you call it Harvey by any chance? Harvey.
Harvey’s a beautiful film. I only wish my relationship with this blog was like that.
Magic, as much as it pains me to say it, offers a much more accurate view.
So please, try to think about the damage I’ve done to your site traffic as me choking the life out of your controlling little dummy.
All hell has broke loose on the MM.com site, and I couldn’t be happier.
Wow, this post was prescient, wasn’t it?
