KEVIN'S WALK BLOGS
BIG HOMINID'S TEES
WHAT CORN AND PEANUTS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WARM AND STEAMING PILE?
Vapid cultural commentary, pungent reviews, sundry Korea-related musings, fartological/scatological humor, political flatulence, and nondualistic Zen excretions in prose or poetry form.
Got a beef? Write the Hominid at bighominid@gmail.com, and put "HAIRY CHASMS" in the subject line, or your mail will be automatically trashed by Satan, my beautiful but deadly spam filter. Assume your mail will be published (editing at my discretion), unless you specify otherwise. Welcome to my backside.
BLOGROLLING POLICY: I don't do mutual linkage, and I have no problem with asymmetrical linkage: I link to bloggers who don't link back, and that's fine by me. Please DO NOT ask to be linked. Please DO NOT expect linkage just because you've linked to me. Also, if I don't link to you, please do not assume I think your blog sucks.
COMMENTS POLICY: My blog is my house; I'm responsible for keeping my dwelling clean. Commenters are guests, and guests of this blog will be civil, succinct, and relevant. All comments are subject to approval; I reserve the right to publish or not publish—in a pristine or altered form—all comments (and emails intended as comments) that I receive. Act like an asshole on my turf, and I'll make you look like the asshole you are. Be cool, and we won't have a problem. Simple, yes? And before I forget:
NO ANONYMOUS COMMENTS. Take responsibility for what you say. Screen names are OK, but no sock puppetry. Use the same SN consistently.

Uh...he died in 2006.
Don Knotts died in 2006.
Just thought you'd like to know.
OK, so I'm a little slow on the uptake. I'm sure Elisson's tribute mentioned 2006, and I somehow missed that.
It's amazing, though, how quickly people react to my tossed-off posts, but I get no reaction at all to posts that I slave over. What a weird readership.
OK, I see that Elisson did not mention 2006, but he also didn't imply that Knotts had recently died, so all blame for being slow on the uptake rests on me.
Don't feel bad, Kev. Think of all the folks who died just after Michael Jackson did. Who noticed?
The commenting thing makes perfect sense, really. A short note like this one merits an equally short, no-thought reply. Major posts require digesting. I for one would avoid a single sentence comic response to a 1500-word essay. When I do reply to those, it's after a lot of careful reading and careful thought, and that takes time (which I don't always have) and focus (which is often in short supply).
It's just a bit late
To ululate
For Mr. Knotts
Though he made us smile
He's been gone a while
Has Mr. Knotts
Once he lived amongst men
Until the sad day when
He was Not
