RESPONSE--
Look blockhead,
It is clear that you did not spend nearly enough time talking through your personal issues with lucy
And while I understand it is humiliating having the football pulled out from under you over and over again, there is no reason to turn into a complete lionASS
While I certainly agree with your love of little red headed girls, after all I married one, it appears that you need to re-watch your Christmas special and learn from the teachings so well embodied within.
Good Grief,
Ed
