You know, Barry, you might not be so envious of Jim and his prosperity
if you would just get a job and make some money. It's not a good sign
when your enemy is one of your only employers. Speaking of posturing,
how is that part-time science writing job working out for you?/

*/"Buck" seems to prefer making a bunch of noise and posturing about
things, but accomplishing nothing -- all while claiming to be better
than others who actually accomplish things. In other words, the same
approach he's always taken to complaining about the TMO. /*

flowery blissninny-speak he prefers) in local newspapers and TV
stations, under his *real name*, Doug Hamilton. Until that happens, I
think we can safely dismiss "Buck" as just a posturing coward. /*
