tdawg, listen I actually was most likely the only one who read the whole novel you wrote. Can't believe I actually made it through the whole thing and at times I wanted to blow my brains out but figured if someone took the time to write the longest rant I have ever seen and on Tanaka none the less, I should at least read it. It was truly a bear. But like I said. I read it all. I even read it out loud to my wife and she couldn't stop laughing. ( she said something to the effect of this guy needs to get a life and stop moaning, but a lot more elegantly than I just stated) I seriously doubt anyone else read it all. Maybe they skimmed it. So I think you owe me some kind of award or something for this.
