Is it just me, or does "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium" sound suspiciously like a rip-off of Troy McClure's "The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel"?

I was just reading up. Seattle is trying to raise 1,200 pounds and among the ten cities (L.A., NY, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Denver and some others) they will combined they're weights to equal (hopefully) 12,000. That's going to be tough. Seattle is utilizing the scale at Northwest Harvest for their offical weigh-in on the 12th. That's sweet.

So Mr. Poe comes across as a grouchy hardass on the comment threads when really he's just a pussy. What a disappointment. Fuck you, Mr Poe! Fuck you!

I sent you the warning e-mail late last night because on the way home I started to feel uneasy about how you would take my joke about killing your dog in the note with the flowers. Anyway, glad you liked 'em!

It's the first time I've ever ordered flowers for anybody. I was disgusted with the prices. Next time I'll chop off three of my neighbors roses and wrap them with the "books" section of the Stranger. $43 for 3 next-day smart-ass roses? Pa-reeeze.

AND he's moved ahead of me in the "creepy commentator competing for Amy Kate's virtual pats on the head" sweepstakes! Damn you, Poe!

Can't we just send a lead-encrusted gift certificate from WalMart?

Mr. Poe, how perfectly sweet.

Flower delivery within your own city is across the board a giant ripoff. And my beloved dog did die recently, but my new one would tear your head off if you messed with him, so I wasn't worried. I do have a sense of humor. Sometimes. Compared to other copyeditor types.

You're right about the decapitation. Just last week, this psychotic Shih Tzu tore off my arm and both my legs. With the utmost relief, I'm all better now. Duct tape solves everything.

I do love Mr. Poe, but he theatened to kill your dog? Sometimes I don't get your sense of humor, Poe..

Very smooth move! Not to be a cynic, but you could totally use this story to get yourself laid. Not that you NEED help, I'm sure...

I'm not really down with donating toys for something associated with movies. My toy donations go to kids in hospitals based on my love of video games. Check out �www.childsplaycharity.org for more info. Started locally by the guys from penny arcade.

@12

I didn't threaten to kill Amy's dog, "wha?". If you knew how it was written, you wouldn't find it at all insidious. As for loving me/sometimes not getting my sense of humor: you probably shouldn't "love me", and based on your reaction to the comments/info above, you should scratch the 'sometimes' seeing how you obviously do not get my sense of humor.

@13

I don't need any help getting laid. Especially from the Stranger.

@15

You won't find the comments. They were removed by Amy. Hence the e-mails/getting mad at me, et. al.

I wish I knew what the heck went down. Hilarious, though.

Don't worry, Mr. Poe. If anyone here loves you, it's the tie-you-up-and-whip-you kind of love.

COMMENT DELETED: Off-topic (and potentially libelous)

We remove comments that are off topic, threatening, or commercial in nature, and we do not allow sock-puppetry (impersonating someone else)�or any kind of puppetry, for that matter. We never censor comments based on ideology.

Comment by Mr. Poe

Mr. Poe — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 18:55:18 -0800

Ooooooooookay. It would be greatly appreciated if #20 was deleted, and it would be equally appreciated if Slog sent me #20's e-mail address if it doesn't appear to be bogus, for reasons that shouldn't have to be discussed on any blog.

Thanks.

What an interesting exchange in 20/21... I'm very intrigued. But Poe, you've a looooong way to go before Slog starts catering to your notions. Good luck.

Shouldn't you be whoring/vomiting yourself up for the next season of America's Next Top Model?

Now Mr. Poe has to send Amelia some flowers.

Comment by Mr. Poe

Mr. Poe — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 19:25:28 -0800

Yeah. That'll happen.

Thank you, Amy. (For removing #20.)

Yes, Mr. Poe. Thanks for reminding me! How dare I get distracted?

On that note, enjoy my latest blog post.

And, of course, I'm disappointed to have overestimated you, Slog! Grr.

I used to help coordinate a big community toy drive every Christmas and Easter, and I really miss it. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun.

yo Poe:
you can have my bogus email, then send me flowers, or lead toys, or tots(tater-please), but not those crispy crown things, those things are cheap imitations. like me, of you....

Will you all please take a minute to donate money or books or a Cabbage Patch Kid to a child in need?

What, people at The Stranger get pissed off by Slog commenters? Who knew?

Okay, Amy Kate, you win. V. sorry.

As for you, impostor... Well, you're just silly.
