“You spoke of cookies, my good man?”
I have a fan.
After taking four days off to visit the nephews — and destroy the sleeping habits of the little guys (“No, dear mother, there appears to be cookies downstairs, and having convinced Uncle David to give in to my puppy dog eyes, I shant be taking a nap today”) I returned to find that my recent tirade against the “brains” behind ATM football (https://coupevillesports.com/2012/08/24/47-reasons-to-detest-atm/) had quickly become my most-read story in the short history of this blog.
I also had my first hate mail, from an S. Sinex, who lists themselves as an ATM alumni parent.
He/she(?) wrote, and I quote:
The ignorant have never spoken so confidently and so erroneously. Your career has obviouly reached its zenith in Coupeville. Like those sour grapes?
To which I reply:
A) You haven’t read very much of my writing. I often speak confidently about things of which I have little knowledge. It’s sort of a trademark.
B) My career has reached its zenith in Coupeville? Possibly, but at least I don’t have to live in Everett (boo-yah!) and down here in the sticks we do teach our kids how to spell obviously … or, at least how to use spell-check.
C) Sour grapes? No, I prefer blueberries and peaches. I would put sour grapes about 23rd on my list of favorite fruit and … oh wait, I have misunderstood your clever wordplay, being a country rube and all.
D) ATM’s decision to bounce Dave Ward? Still the work of mental midgets.
Coupeville Sports 
Amazing.
