Every few weeks my friend Jim says, "You write real well...that story about the orange bowling ball was great."  I remind him of three things:

1.  I don't write real well.  I know this because when I read old posts, I feel embarrassed.
2.  I didn't write the orange bowling ball story.  Brian Rudolf Tasch wrote that particular tale.
3.  Nowhere in the story does it say that the bowling ball is orange.

Crap.  I just reread the story.  The ball is orange.  So...what is B.R. Tasch up to these days?  He's probably editing the second half of his new "movie".  Here's the first half, broken into three YouTube-sized pieces.  Oh, I should mention it's not safe to watch at the office.  Or anywhere, really.

      HEY OLD MAN NEILL-WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE PITTSBURGH AND THE NORTH HILLS SECTION???? particularly the WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR SECTION???? Let me guess!!Now that the shoe is on the other foot and you are the one being made out to look like an asshole it's no longer funny-COULD THAT BE RIGHT???Well now how 'bout that!!!Well let me just say a few more things to you,since I feel the need to let truly IGNORANT,RUDE,UNCARING people know how they are real pieces of shit and need to truly look at what FUCKING ASSHOLES they really are-SOOOO Here goes-First and MOST important are your two innocent small children,which,by the way, are the one and only reason why I haven't come right up to you at the school and given you the chance to really get to know who you so easily made mean,ignorant statements about on your web site-you obviously think your funny-you are actually such a loser I would not even give you the time of day to talk to.The SAD part is this is what you are teaching your children-to be mean,call people names,make ASSHOLES out of truly nice people-instead of getting to know people before you judge them,just for your own entertainment.I hope when the day comes(and it will)that one of your children come home crying because someone fucked with them,you will think of this, you asshole!Once again may I suggest that you get a fucking job and let your wife raise the kids so they have a chance to be raised with some sort of morals and compassion which I would hope your wife has.I have nine year old twins who I have taught to be kind to ALL people no matter what they look like,dress like,act like for in the end, everyone has feelings.Imagine it oldmanneill THE smoking,dog carrying,tit swinging, beehive bitch has children who act and treat people more maturely than YOU!!! I wonder how you got your name-obviously it should be changed to maybe YOUNGPUNKNEILL.I What do ya think?? You certainly do not act as an OLD MAN would.

        I took the offending post down from my site because I was genuinely sorry that I had offended you and the others that I had written about.  Having met you yesterday, I can see that you are indeed a nice person, and truth be told, a pretty cool person.  The t-shirt you made had me crackin up.  I'm sorry that we didn't meet under different circumstances, but the truth is, beyond me stopping to pet the dog, we would probably still be oblivious to each other's existence.  If you get to know me, you will find that I'm a pretty good guy.  If you ever want to know me better, I am willing to buy you and whoever else a good number of rounds at any local establishment.  Hell, I'll even go to Ozzie's, as long as I don't have to drink that gawd-awful Yeungling or wretched Iron City.  I'll risk looking like a sissy drinking Coronas before suffering through an IC.  Whatever...for all I know you don't drink.  Take care, and see ya on the playground...

      You tell him, BEEHIVE! That OLD YOUNG MAN PUNK NEILL has some nerve, talkin smack on us wonderful WEST VIEW citizens! Why, if he only got to know us, he would see FIRST HAND how much more KIND AND INTELLIGENT we are than our IGNORANT BLOG COMMENTS would suggest! Thank GOD we can REPRODUCE FASTER AND WITH MORE RECKLESS ABANDON than he does, so our offspring will outnumber his and KICK THEIR ASSES in dodge ball in the school playground! Why, I have half a mind to CHALLENGE HIM TO A GAME OF DODGE BALL myself, just so I have an excuse to POUND THE SMARTS OUT OF HIM with a hard ball to his brain! But he would probably say I only have HALF A MIND to begin with, so it's probably a MOOT POINT. I would rant more, but my rug rants just got home from school so I have to go STOP THEM FROM INBREEDING and remind them how IMPORTANT IT IS TO BE NICE TO PEOPLE. Just remember that PICKSBURG IS THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD and WEST VIEW IS THE SMARTEST SUBURB OF IT! GO STILLERS! YINZERS RULE! WOOOOOOOOT!

      I don't like my neighbors because I'm a snob. I could blog about the welfare family across the street who are outside carrying on until all hours of the night while I'm trying to sleep so I can go to work because I'm a productive member of society. I could also blog about the single (for so many reasons) guy who lives next door that used to look in my dining room window. I guess he thought since it was at night I couldn't see him. Which is true, I couldn't see him, but I could see his lit cigarette glowing. Wish I could have read your post that so offended the Beehive person. That said, you know how much I enjoy your blog. You're very insightful.
