Dr Commento's FAHQ (July 15, 2007)

Posted by Manny Stiles

Welcome to Dr. Commento's FAHQ - (Freeking Ask Hellacious Quest-ions!) July 15 (It is the 15th, right?)

This is how Manny Stiles rises from the dead (In a SpongeBob SquarePants:the Movie, not the Jesus:the Bible way...) and yet doesn't muck up the 'chair with a ton of freeking hellacious comments on every post!

Freeking Ask Hellacious Quest-ions!

It's where Dr Commento crawls out of the woodwork to answer questions no one else can! Like Carnac on Cognac! (but substituting Wild Turkey for the Cognac!)

Did you know Dr Commento's first name is Notin? It's funny to think a Doctor's name is Not-in! Until you find out his middle name is Other....

Anyway, the Insatiable Fog Ducker is back from vacation - give me a couple days to unpack and things will look spiffier around here!

So I did have an internet connection* that Robert Morse would have been hootin'n holler'n about while I was on vacation:

Internet Connection referenced may contain less than 5% acceptable speeds

Yet I was sure not to miss doozies like these and those...

Sometimes I wonder if my name is Chapstick, it's on so many lips!

Anyway, let me straighten out this mess... or attempt to...

I created a second user (ekom) months ago (before <joke alert> <for the readily offended> the Great JTJ Infestation of 2007) with the intention to shut down Manny Stiles to "archive my first season on the chair" - I AM truly a stat geek.

So I (like always) didn't think how that would affect other users because I am such a egotistical prick-emepher. So I apologize and will attempt to clear other misconceptions!

Prepare to enjoy the 'chair like never before VERY Soon...

Let me straighten out another thing

I, Erik Kombol am Manny Stiles, people call me those names AND many more when they see me. Stiles is a personna, but I know MEK and Manny truly is 100% of who I am. Ekom is the writer/wordjuggler inside Manny Stiles. And no, I am not schizophrenic...

Over the coming months you will easily recognize the differences...

I don't care about stats, but I do care about entertaining people, baffling them, making them think, making them strive for more, make them enjoy reading words and reacting to them. I don't care what my rankings are - I do care that people get upset that my editing stats are miniscule compared to the energy I spend half-explaining my opinions in comments...

I plan on spending my energy here on the chair more productively and we will all benefit for it... Can someone make another ArmchairGM Commercial for me to try to one up and make a fool o'myself? Please?

Emmanuel Estillez and Ekom are technically the same person, consider ekom to be a writer/editor and NON-voter. Ekom will be running a series called Our Sporting Culture and Dr Commento will be chucking his randomblings in his traditional Stiles!

<blatent pselfromotion ahead!!!> Coming Soon! Another installment of Fudging with Numbers!

So if you have questions, ask them... any questions at all, I will attempt to respond as quickly and honestly as possible through out the day...

Oh, I was in Northern Lower Michigan (between the pinky and ring fingernails if you know the Official Michigan state map) at the National Cherry Festival in Traverse City, Michigan... more on that later.

Thanks to a well-needed vacation, in cool waters far from the 117 degrees of home, especially one so entwined with nature, my spiritual (read: creative) batteries are fully recharged!

Freeking Ask Hellacious Quest-ions!

I'll be here through out the day until WELL after midnight PDT:

Also offering non-comprehensive predictions of the future, quatrains, haikus, beat poetry... aura readings, voodoo spells (if they're indeed of pure intention), dream interpretations... whatever!

example: \

Ekom: Hey, Manny! Turn a tarot card over for the outcome of this column...
- Manny: 2 of Swords - Fear of Facing Reality. A stalemate has been reached yet the balance must be upset to make positive change.
