In the old days, My thoughts were more coherent, and I could string together whole sequences of actual paragraphs! Those essays can be found here for those so interested.

Dear Mr. Shelton Jackson Spike Lee,
You sir, are crazy. When Viacom chose to rename their TNN cable channel as Spike TV, it was an obvious tribute to Red Sox baseball legend Spike Owen, who on August 21, 1986 tied the 20th century Major League Baseball record by scoring six runs in Boston's 24-5 thrashing of the Cleveland Indians.
It has nothing to do with you.
Unlike you, sir, Spike Owen has been known as Spike since birth, as it is his true given name. And, to the best of my knowledge (and to his credit), he has never called a movie a "joint."
