I just made my first visit to Matteo's Idiot Proud Tom website and I have a few comments. I promise to be brief.
1. Anyone can copy someone else's gag.
2. What's funny in Italy must be entirely different that what's funny in the USA.
Entertainment rating:
Original Proudtom - 3/4 bag of popcorn
Idiot Proudtom - just old maids.
Eagerly looking forward to Tucson,
John Gwilliam

Hi Randy, and List,
C,mon now people. If we can "dish it out, we have to be able to take
it". Which I think most will. Man! When I stop to think about what a
field-trip Proud Tom or Matteo could have with me, after some of my
comments and uneducated blunders, phew!! I am glad I'm not worthy. If
anyone had the reserve to not smile or laugh through Matteo's series of
photo's, I will guarentee,that the last photo of Proud Tom's smiling
visage, with tooth blacked out, got everybody. If you say that didn't
make you smile? I will call you a liar to your face. It's called mirth
(definition: social merriment) with a twist.
As to the Marines? I may be wrong, but I took it to be another humorous,
satyrical parrallel referring to we Americans, collectively, and the way
we tend to view ourselves. Example: " The Proud, the Few, the
Best.........the Marines". With a litttle Super Hero thrown in for
flair! In other words " We think we are all that, and a bag
of.....meteorites." Only Matteo can tell you himself, if this is how he
meant it. Regards to All, Marcie

Hello Matteo:
I have read your funny parody of the Proud Tom Website. I think that the people that you have made fun of on your web page will view it with humor. Too bad that you must be so insecure that you do not have the same attitude.
One thing puzzles me. Why do you continue to attack the Marines? Did the Marines attack you on this list? Do you feel insecure when you are around Marines and this is the way you react? Please let us all know why you hate the Marines.
The Real Proud Tom is my Hero and Pultusk is my favorite meteorite.
Randy
