One thing's for sure, I don't get much mail, but I get good mail. Got the following from Juneblogger Mike Fischer:

Also, if you wouldn't mind checking mine out...its www.fishlicious.blogspot.com im new at all this and im not asking for a link or anything provocative like that, just some good old fashioned comments/verbal abuse...thanks

Hey! Verbal Abuse! Cool.

Anyway, just who is this mike fischer fellow, and why does he want verbal abuse from a large, smelly, ratlike creature? Maybe this bit of lore from his website explains it--

For all of you that don't know it, I am a proud alumni of Florida State University (and still a student ironically enough. God Bless graduate school.) I bleed Garnet & Gold and live and die with each football win. I hate Miami, hate most SEC schools--especially the Florida Gators, and awake every morning hoping to hear Steve Spurrier has had his jaw permanantly wired shut. Most importantly, I love Bobby Bowden, who at 72 years old still sets the standard for success in college football. It will be a sad, unfortunately not so far off day when Bobby no longer strolls the sideline at Doak Campbell stadium.

Well, at least he's on the right track--it's hard to go wrong being a Gator Hater, and since Auburn doesn't play FSU for at least the next two years, I think an uneasy truce can be made on that level. And obviously, Mike has not read quite enough of Possumblog to know of my utter disdain for writing in ee cummings case.

But, one thing I can agree with him on is warm regards for Coach--even though he birthed Mighty Mouth, it's hard to fault a man who is still so very proud of his Birmingham roots.

So, I think I'll withhold most of the verbal abuse thing, Mike, and just say to go check out the Fishlicious Mr. Fischer.
