I hereby demand it, in writing, here on this site. Not on your own blog, and not on the site where you and the Originally Original Ones Who Were Present at the Origin hang out.
…Oh, don’t play innocent, missy. You KNOW why.
And please don’t send that big blond goon over to push me around again. He can easily be distracted with a sloppy joe. I now know this.

IN HAPPIER DAYS: MJ Pehl and her manservant / big blond goon / novelty song recording partner, IVAN.
To repeat:
Apologize, Mary Jo Pehl.
I’m going on a turnip-eating strike until you respond. (And yes, it IS a big sacrifice.)

He isn’t bluffing…he’ll do it.

I…don’t get it…?
3 Rob T Firefly on May 22, 2008 at 8:14 am
I bet twenty quatloos on the turnip.
4 Neb on May 22, 2008 at 8:34 am
Oh, now what? Can’t you kids just get along?
5 Courtney on May 22, 2008 at 8:43 am
Can’t you guys just cry and hug and braid each other’s hair and eat cookie dough and talk about boys already?
If not, Istill say settle it via dance-off.

Sure we can. Of course we can! There’s no reason –
…No we can’t.

I look forward to telling Ms. Jo Pehl that she has, in fact, been served.
8 Courtney on May 22, 2008 at 9:06 am
Ooh, will there be stompings of various yards? I hear that’s what the kids today are doing.

I’m confused about the turnip-eating strike: Are you saying you’ll eat ONLY turnips, or that you’ll eat anything BUT turnips?
I only ask because one seems like a whole lot more sacrifice than the other.

I thought the relative silence between the Pehl/Corbett camps meant there was a truce or something. Obviously she must have fired the first shot if your anger had been rekindled Bill, but interested parties (me) want to know – what did she do this time?
And how on Earth does Mike figure into all of this?
11 Michael on May 22, 2008 at 9:28 am
Two shall enter. One shall leave.
12 Bill Corbett on May 22, 2008 at 9:47 am
Excellent question.
Um, I’ll get back to you on that.
13 Bill Corbett on May 22, 2008 at 9:59 am
How does Mike NOT figure into all of this?!
(That’s a real question. Can you tell me? I’m confused.)
14 suzanne on May 22, 2008 at 10:13 am
was it for all those times she thought she was better than you only to find you were the one with the telekinetic powers and a brain in a dish?
15 Kris on May 22, 2008 at 10:55 am
I fear publishing the fact that “the big blond goon” is easily distracted by sloppy joes will have dire consequences for us all.
16 Courtney on May 22, 2008 at 10:58 am
Mike is everywhere, all around us, all the time.
A message from the Church of Mike of Latter Day Mikes.

…What’s weird is that I replied to the one underneath this one. Huh.
18 Darth Chimay on May 22, 2008 at 11:16 am
I think you should invoke kal-if-fee.
Sometimes, I find it amazing that I ever left my parents’ house.
19 Ben on May 22, 2008 at 11:22 am
Now, now…I will mark this all down to sexual tension.
20 wurwolf on May 22, 2008 at 12:21 pm
I think the answer is obvious, Courtney. Mike willed that you reply to this post rather than the one below.
21 wurwolf on May 22, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Imagine the google hits this is going to get.
22 R.A. Roth on May 22, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Is that a picture of Mike and Mary Jo cutting their now famous hit single “Minnesota Lady”?
Minnesota Laaaadeee, polish my truck for me,
Minnesota Laaaadeee, I give my beer to thee,
My Minnesota Lady,
My Minnesota Lady,
My Minnesota Lady!
Boy, that brings me back…to a bad time in my life.

Wait a minute, why would a turnip eating strike work in this situation?
24 Rob T Firefly on May 22, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Oh please, can’t we just get beyond–
…no, I can’t do it.
25 mathey on May 22, 2008 at 4:44 pm
I’m pretty sure that picture is of Mary Jo and Mike recording their weekly podcast, “Making Fun Of Bill Behind His Back”, now in its fifth season.
You DID know about that, right, Bill?
26 Barry on May 22, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Well… maybe the Mikes cancel each other out or something.
27 Adam on May 23, 2008 at 5:56 am
The caption to that photo begs the question: is “IVAN” an acronym? Perhaps I.V.A.N. is a meticulously constructed cyborg whose strong resemblance to Mike Nelson is purely coincidental. (As are, one would assume, most resemblances to Mike Nelson.)
28 Adam on May 23, 2008 at 5:56 am
That podcast totally peaked in season 2.

[...] and gentlemen, the feud continues. Bill Corbett and Mary Jo Pehl are at it again, and this time the streets will run red with blood. [...]

You two stop fighting back there or I’ll stop the internet right NOW! and we’ll just go home.

I don’t think this qualifies. The demand for an apology included the stipulation that the apology be posted here on this site! I don’t think a link to some generic apology posted by a third party advocate is going to mend this ache.
I think this calls for snacks. Yes, snacks are the internationally recognized foodstuff of peace.
