I voted for KF, too. I wanted to suggest a version of the game based on Elimidate, but Fifth Wheel seemed like the more elegant choice.

I’m glad you’re cool Bob, because I voted for KF’s scenario too.

Can’t we all just get along??

Thank you, Ogged, but I’m perfectly fine with my show’s prenatal demise. My show was the first, to which all the rest (including KF’s) are merely derivatives. I’m 90210 to their The OC. I’m Star Trek to their TNG, DS9, V, E. I’m Diff’rent Strokes to their Webster. They may be smarter, younger, sexier, cooler and more profitable, but (like the Aboriginal Australians) I was there first.

Welcome to the world of entertainment, babe. It’s the stuff E! True Hollywood Stories are made of.

Lest we forget, Ogged is merely pleading on behalf of his co-blogger, Bob, who has been wronged. It is, shall we say, rather rich that I should find myself threatened with litigation and smeared as an operator merely for asking that a wrong be righted and then have it be implied that I am the for whom you should “watch out.”

You two play hardball, I can see that.

Hmm. When the possibility that academic superstars would soon be hiring agents was raised on your site not long ago, IA, this is not what I was expecting…

Harold Bloom, eat my dust!

See, I knew a little sex could raise the stakes for this show.

I have to wonder, though, whether ogged has worked in the industry before—or perhaps in politics? Say, in a certain recent presidential campaign, the outcome of which hinged on the contested vote in a state that rhymes with Blorida? Because that little slide from my level of traffic to Instapundit’s was slick, but it didn’t go unnoticed.

I’d watch out, IA, if you start hearing talk of “appeals” and “constitutionality"…

Ogged, my friend, point me toward a site that has traffic equal to that of Instapundit, and I’ll see what I can do. No promises, mind you.

KF, do you have an agent? You’re going to need one.

IA, buddy, this doesn’t have to end in litigation. All we ask is that you mention our big lead on a site that has traffic equal to that of Instapundit and we’ll forget your breach of blog polling ethics. You don’t want anyone to hear about what you’ve done, and neither do we. We like you.

The glitz and glamour; the booze, pills, and powder: in short, the dog-eat-dog hell they call Hollywood. We’re still in the pre-planning stages, and already I’m embroiled in a bitter controversy that can only lead to a lawsuit.

Let’s talk percentages, boys and girls, and see if we can arrive at an amicable agreement.
