I was friends with capsuper for 30 years and all I got was this

[badatapologies]

A couple of decades worth of unflattering-bordering-on-humiliating childhood photos and a whole lot more about me than I ever wanted you to know can be found in this extremely affectionate and sweet tribute by my apparently very longtime friend Eric Paul "capsuper" Johnson, who is not usually prone to all this sentimental hubbub so he must really mean it. 30 years can really wear on a person. I don't know what I'm more grateful for--the things he said, or the things he generously did not say. I'm gonna say "B".

I share it with you, dear reader, because I am simply too tired to know better. Later I'm sure I'll have a more appropriate response. On the 40th anniversary I want a cake. And a pony. And a pony made of cake.

You are one lucky gal to have a friend like him. And vice versa.

You look great at his high-school graduation -- like Morrissey's American cousin.

Wow, that was interesting/cool - he seems like a great friend.

Also, reading that I think I've discovered a bit of an interesting coincidence - looks like we were both in Phoenix (err, Scottsdale) in 2004 to, uh, "spend some time with" someone named Toby...

That was an awesome piece. (Though I thought it was kinda weird that the newsclipping still called you Mike. Hm.)
