for minkoflove

I say good things about minkoflove often enough that I'm sometimes accused of being him. I think a careful analysis would show that I don't write at all like Ramón; Ramón at his best, you see, is blatantly, overwhelmingly hilarious in a way that I don't usually manage.

for glowing_fish

For a while I had a little gallery of bizarre correspondence posted outside my dorm room. The messages from glowing_fish were the strangest; they were also the least marred by ulterior motives.

I read an essay once on nonsense as an attempt to control the reader's construction of meaning. glowing_fish at his best applies that theory to ordinary interaction: when he (like Humpty-Dumpty) uses a word, it means just what he chooses it to mean.
