Suzi, good god. What a complete and utter bastard that jackwad is.

Like, how do you not realize that you are an asshole?

"She'll never know so it won't hurt her. It's not about her anyway."

"I don't want to be 70, and post prostate cancer surgery and thinking about all the pussy I could have had."

"God, it's just sex. Why do women get so hung up over it?"

I just don't understand how you justify something like that to yourself. Like, how do you not realize that you are an asshole?

I can't decide whether it takes a great deal of serious conscious effort or a great deal of effort to remain totally unreflective and unconscious.

I do remember one poster on Table Talk long ago, writing about the huge cheating affair that eventually wrecked her first marriage, and how all she could remember was a completely remote, removed, zombielike inner life: so much unhappiness and so much pain that she just let herself sleepwalk numbly through her life to avoid dealing with the enormity of her actions.

But after the marriage collapsed she went through a lot of brutal self-scrutiny; I don't know if K-Bug's ex even has that capacity, and, like you, I can't even imagine how he describes the last year of his life to himself.

Except I bet you One. Million. Dollars. and an internet or three that in his story he is the one true victim. Especially now that K-Bug and the Other Woman are comparing notes and joining forces.

I'm just flabbergasted. Gobsmacked even. He apparently told a bunch of the people he went to A school about the break-up story. Kelly asked the "other woman" if there was a name attached to who she supposidly cheated with.

I hope I never see him again.

I bet the asshole was always in there, but when he graduated high school and got out in the world, especially with all that distance between him and K-bug, it rose up and bit everyone else on the ass. A lot of things look good to a certain kind of person if they think they're not going to get caught.

Congratulations, ita!

I hope I never see him again.

Without a flamethrower handy.

It's Minors Moniker Madness - an annual tournament style voting contest for who has the best name in baseball in the minor leagues.

Consider some of the possibilities this year:

Sequoia Stonecipher
Gookie Dawkins
Shooter Hunt
Tuffy Gosewisch
Beamer Weems
Callix Crabbe

I'm on the "what an asshole" team. Don't know how he can't realize how badly he is behaving. Have nothing else to contribute.
