Default If you received an email from me in the last couple of days...

One of the email accounts I use for business was hacked and I only discovered this late last night. Seems that someone with a rather perverse sense of humor has a little too much time on their hands. If you received any "odd" emails addressed from me lately, PM me and I'll give you another email address where I would ask you to forward it...

No way, HoseB!! After what you said in that message, I'm never speaking to you ever again!

10 guesses as to the perpetrator....as though anyone would NEED the other 9 guesses!!

I particularly enjoyed the link. Although I don't think I would personally do that stuff.

Wesson, you couldn't tell from my post that I was just teasing BG???? Or was your post as well?

BG, I figure you knew I was only joking....right? Nada, not even in my spam folder, but I did find one there that wasn't spam, so thanks for prompting me to check there!

I was just kidding. If anything, I'd be hurt that I wasn't included in a list of folks from someone who would wish to do harm to you.

Kinda funny in that if anyone really knew el jefe and sought to Google his name, they would actually find some stuff. Not that it would be bad. But as someone who is Google-proof, and sad about that despite decades of working on computers and spending so much time in the California and Federal court system, fact is that I really don't believe anyone can find a single entry about me.

I will say that my finest hour may well be that Woody Allen, who I actually met years ago, played a character in a movie with my exact name.

Howard,

Not my favorite Allen movie. However, to be honest, since he bedded Soon-Yi (Mia Farrow's adopted daughter) can't say I really enjoy watching the little perverts movies anymore.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. And I guess many share it with you.

Couple of points: Sometimes there appears to be a major disconnect between the art and the artist. Polanski comes to mind in the same vein of what you mentioned about Allen.

Both these guys have created and produced some astoundingly good movies. Boycott them if it makes you feel better.

That said, as you mentioned this not being your favorite Allen movie, perhaps it's because it really was not an Allen movie.

The Front was a story about the Hollywood blacklist and the McCarthy era. It was neither written by nor directed by Allen. Allen played a role. Much different than the vast body of his work.

The Front (1976) - IMDb
