TRex toddles up to the battlefield and twirls around.

Because, really, what are you supposed to do when baited? (With candy, remember?) If you take the bait, you've taken the bait. (And it was such yummy bait.) Well, there's that idea of pretending you didn't notice. Which was a good way to stall for time and think of an idea. And he did come up with something. I mean, a few things. Some were dumb. Like just making fun of my name. That was so Monica of him. But he came up with the idea of spoofing his own taking of the bait, with a sort of performance -- demonstrating that he's beginning to understands something of the Althousian-style bloggish performance -- of his own refusal to take the bait as he in fact takes the bait. I will not not let you use me to get traffic for your piddling -- AKA fabulous! -- blog, he says as he gives me 6 links.

Somewhere in the vast wasteland of a comments section he's got over there -- perhaps showing his frustration that his readers can't riff like mine -- he succumbs to self-pity:

Did you see those things she said about me?

Aw. Poor boy.

She’s got snakes in her head, man.

Classic gynophobia.

I think she did a little too much of that LDS stuff. Back in the hippie days.

Yes, it was me and the Mormons all the time back then. I don't know how I ever came down from that.

Glenn Greenwald said to me at YKos that my snubbing Ann Althouse on election night was the single interesting thing in her otherwise bleak Wisconsin landscape of a life and that everything she says and does toward me reflects the fact that she will never, ever, ever forgive me for not liking her and finding her interesting.

Glenn Greenwald and TRex had a big conversation about me at YearlyKos? That's so surreal.

By the way, whatever you think about me, you should be careful about insulting Wisconsin. As you lefty politicos allow your contempt for the heartland to ooze out, you should remember that some of these states are swing states you're going to need to pretend to care about. And the people here are fierce.

So now she’s stalking me.

Did you watch that video? Jesus. I started to wonder if she’s going to come down here to Georgia and try to boil one of my pets.

Oh, the hell! He's in Georgia. He's in Georgia, insulting Wisconsin? Well, now, it's a war between the states!
