LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/08 Posts: 5293 Loc: Land of the Flat Water	The Shoe Fits William F. Buckley Jr. called Norman Mailer an egotist, “almost unique in his search for notoriety and absolutely unequaled in his co-existence with it.” Mailer called Buckley a “second-rate intellect incapable of entertaining two serious thoughts in a row.” In 1966 Buckley sent Mailer an autographed copy of The Unmaking of a Mayor, the memoir of his unsuccessful run for mayor of New York City the previous year. Mailer turned to the index and looked up his own name. There he found, in Buckley’s handwriting, the words “Hi, Norman.” _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep----

Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13658	Mebbe jj was calling me an Irish socialist. It's true the Scots came from Ireland and my Uncle Bill had an Irish father. But he wasn't exactly a socialist. More of a communist, actually. And he wasn't me, just my great-uncle.
