It’s been a while since we’ve had to talk about the Code.  Anyway, I’m gonna keep this quick and simple.
Anyone that chooses to roast me and my work is welcome to.  Disagreement is part of this game, and that’s fine with me.  I think it would be best if people weren’t personal about things, but I can live with that, too.  It’s foolish for me to think that I can get paid to comment and criticize people and not expect to receive the same in return.  Game recognizes game, and the game is to be respected.
But I’ll make this request–should any blogger choose to appropriate pictures uploaded on this blog for theirs, I ask that they be kind enough to only use pictures of me.  Currently, there’s a blogger using a picture I took with my nephew at his high school graduation for a post trashing my piece on the BCS.
The trashing of the piece is fine.  But that has nothing to do with my nephew, nor does any piece I write have to do with anyone but me and whoever or whatever I’m writing about.
So please leave civilians out of it.  If Michael Corleone could walk around the first half of The Godfather as a civilian, my friends and family should be able to do the same.
And to make your life easy, here are a few photos you’re welcome to use, some of which are far from flattering.
Here’s me with my legs wide open on a hotel bed in London.  That’ll make me look real foolish.
You can cut Fred out of this one and just use me.  Ohhhh, I look like I’m high!
Hey, here’s me in a throwback on the EuroStar.  And I need a haircut in it???  Briiliant!
But show some respect for my folks.  It’s bad enough that they gotta hang out with me.  Anything more than that’s just unfair.
