Between Friends

| Readers 19

Now that I know Peter Robinson is in the mood for some advice, I think I’ll continue where I left off…
Dear Peter,
I know yer girl Diane didn’t show my lady any love after the count, Robbo (can I call you that, now we’re friends?) but I’m not gonna charge you for the pearl of wisdom you picked up earlier, nor those to follow. But after that, I’ll be expecting some cash to change hands, brown/ white envelope I don’t care, and it’d better pass the silent collection test…
P.S. Are you seriously going to inflict Nelson McCausland on us? Other than providing an ideal context for Primary Five teachers to teach irregular comparative adjectives (Edwin was ‘bad,’ Gregory was ‘worse’ but….) I can’t think of why you’d do this….but then again, maybe I can. It seems you didn’t really get the gist of my post after all.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
