Well, looky what I received yesterday in my comment box:
"Uh, Lin, let's say a man with the maturity of a 12-year-old boy did something really stupid at a really bad time in your life. How much would said man have to grovel to receive forgiveness? Do you believe in God? Would forgiveness even be possible?
I'm just asking out of curiosity at this point. "
Soooo, I guess the mystery of the faux publicist comments has been solved and it didn't even have to involve Scooby Doo. Which is good because I hate that Scruffy or Shaggy or whatever the hell his name is that Scooby hangs out with. And it also bothered me that someone was not very nice here.
And while MikeWJ came clean, I think it only fitting that those of us he schnookered grab an armful of sharp stones and rocks and commence the stoning.

I get to cast the first stone? Or the second one? Woo hoo!
Why would anyone do that?
His punishment should be that he has to set up a REAL interview with Dr. Drew. Put him to the challenge!!!
Shaggy--he bothered me too. A LOT.
I thought the point of the video was that is not a good idea to organize a stoning. Or am I wrong?
Hey, I think Secondary Roads might be on to something here....
That said, I am truly and terribly sorry, Lin.
When I played my stupid practical joke, I totally failed to think about whether you like practical jokes, which it turns out you don't, and I had no idea you were experiencing the week from hell. There's nothing I can do except to say that I'm deeply sorry, and that I hope you will forgive me. I will not do anything like it again, although I may continue to be snarcastic, because I can't help that.
And, now, I think Peewee might also be on to something here. I'm honestly going to see if I can set up an interview with Dr. Drew for you. It probably won't work, and I'm not promising anything, but I'll use my position as a longtime journalist to establish cred, and maybe something will come of it. Maybe I can least get you a personally autographed publicity photo.
*slinks away shamefully*
All I can say is that thank God final justice doesn't rely on the judgment of man...
What's REALLY weird is that my post today is about compassion and Chuck's is about love. Huh. God must be speaking to some folks, eh?
Oh dear, I just read the other comments... and realized what is going on. I must have missed a beat with the whole Dr. Drew thing (I have never even heard of him before). That's a pretty nasty practical joke. I'm sorry, Lin. :(
But I still vote "no" for a stoning.
I hate practical jokes - someone always gets hurts...guy owes you big time - starting with some primo chocolate and that Dr. Drew thingy (why you care about him I have no idea...but if it makes you happy, that's all that matters. ♡)
Aw, Lin. I just got up to speed on the Dr. Drew thing (I missed some of your posts from then). Well, that's crummy. Especially when it's very possible that celebrity can come to you from what you write on a blog. It happened to me with Windy and the Sun Chips bag stories.
I say Mike is off the hook with the stoning, but he needs to pull through on that autographed picture. And I say it has to come along with a picture of Dr. Drew actually signing it. Hee.
Monty Python cracks me up.
He sounds very contrite so I guess you should accept his apology. Although, he could definitely make up for it by getting you on Oprah (why aim for Dr. Drew when you can aim for the big time).
Oh no. I just caught up on all the Dr. Drew business. If there has to be a stoning, at least it's Monty Python's gang doing it.
Yikes!
Awwwww...he seems genuinely sorry. Let's not stone him.
Lola--What? The stoning or the prank? I think a Monty Python stoning is fit for the crime, don't you? ;)
peewee--Well, I appreciate that he admitted it and said he was sorry. From there, I think I'll just be happy with the Dr. Drew photo my work pally Irene gave me.
Betty--That was a weird show. The only one I liked was Scooby.
Chuck--Right! I thought of this video immediately because of how silly it is. Somehow I think if I actually organized a stoning that this is how it would turn out. It IS funny, isn't it, Chuck? I meant it to be.
MikeWJ--I know you are sorry, Mike. I appreciate that you told me it was you and that you are sorry. I'm not mad, hence the silly stoning video. You are still welcome to join in the fun here. :)
Rebecca--Yeah, I thought it was nice he admitted it and apologized. You can't ask for much more than that. It's over as far as I'm concerned. :) The stoning was just a way to laugh it all off.
Grace--I don't like jokes either because, as you can see, I'm pretty gullible. It's over as far as I'm concerned. I was hoping the Monty Python video would convey that.
Pricilla--Me too! I think you saw that I was laughing it off, right?! I wanted to make light of the whole thing, but jab Mike a bit too. ;)
Anne--Oh, PLEASE! NOT Oprah! That would be hell to me!!! Hee! Hee! I do accept the apology, hence the silly video. I just imagine a stoning here to happen just like that--a disaster.
Jen--Thank you! You are the only person who got what I was trying to say. :) Let's give him a silly punishment and move on.
Violet--Not even a Monty Python stoning???? ;)
OMG, this is the funniest scene in Life of Brian. In fact, my kids used to rewind this a dozen times.
Ah, forgive MikeMJ, he did not know and he came clean. I respect a man for that.
Lin I think you should hold out for some fabulous consolation prizes. If you can't have Dr. Drew then the practical joker should be sending you something of equal fabulousness :)
Wow. I totally missed that post too. I went back and read and all I have to say is there is a line, period.
I give him credit for fessing up and apologizing because that wasn't a nice thing to do. I don't think I've ever seen Monty Pyton before but that was funny. That old man's outfit (or lack of) made Joe's plaid pants look like a tux! :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lin. I truly wasn't trying to be mean, I just thought my little bit of trickery would be fun. It wasn't, and I've learned an important lesson: Never, ever fuck around with Dr. Drew and Lin. I will find a way to make this right.
Highway--I love Monty Python and yeah, this is one of my favorites too. I also love the white rabbit in "The Holy Grail". Hee! Hee! I do forgive him. What fun is there in being mad?
Ann--Just knowing who it was and why is enough for me. I feel better knowing it was a joke that went awry. I get that. And I still have Dr. Drew. Sigh. It doesn't get better than that.
Nancy--Yeah, but people make mistakes. He apologized numerous times. Now...grab a rock, Nancy. ;)
Beaded Tail--You haven't seen Monty Python???! Pally, you have some renting to do after tax season!
MikeWJ--Don't worry about it Mike! It's over. I was hoping the silly video would let you know that. :)
I'm completely lost here. I must have missed something. Not a big surprise.
Sharky--Nah. You didn't miss a thing. It's just the usual wackiness here. :)
I'm with Shark. What is this about? Yawn
Jean--It's a good old-fashioned stoning! Tomorrow we are gonna make homemade ice cream--crank and all!
Two things here.
First I am soooo happy that I deleted my post on yesterday's book drawing. I woulda been in such trouble with our little joke.
well with Hobbes whom we thought shoulda drawn the winning name wouldn't be mad, and
secondly I'm happy to see that I was not the only lost person.
Bawhahaha ~ classic movie ~ love it! Let us be thankful that stoning is a thing of the past! ;)
xo Catherine
All seriousness aside . . .
Yes, it was funny -- just as you intended it to be. Monty Python is a real hoot.
FWIW, I've never been stoned. :)
Ozark Mtn Cats--You gotta be careful around here, it doesn't take much to instigate a stoning! Hee! Hee!
Catherine--I love Monty Python movies, don't you?! Even a stoning is funny. :)
Chuck--I was--when I had Colin and they gave me Demerol to stitch me up. I kept telling the doctor that I was "stoned to the bone"! I did not like that feeling very much.
There's nothing quite like a good Monty Python skit while at work on a Friday afternoon.!
