And In This Corner...

I've always encouraged people to post comments on my blog. Every now and again I'll get an atta boy from a family member - Mullen pride runs deep. Less frequently, I'll get a note from a random stranger. These tend to be more opinionated as the author doesn't have to worry about meeting up with me at the family picnic.

I've also had a number of comments posted by famous figures from the past such as Billie Holiday, Tony Randall, Paul Revere, Joseph Stalin, Karl Marx, Abbie Hoffman, Noah Webster, William Shakespeare, Uncle Sam, Pope John Paul II, Marlin Perkins, Thomas Edison, Babe Ruth, Vincent Price and Fred Flintstone to name a few. Wi-Fi technology has really expanded the reach of the Internet!

But lately I am noticing a trend where back-to-back comments will come into Letters from the Moon within moments of each other from related readers. Representing themselves as The Pollinator and Mrs. Pollinator, or Mr. X and Mrs. Y, the tandem is fast on their feet and hard hitting.

Formidable opponents, they bring to the blogosphere the same furry and tenacity Mr. Fuji and Professor Toru Tanaka brought to Saturday morning tag team wrestling in the 1970's. I think The Pollinators (children of the 70's) have what it takes to be champions in the mold of Jimmy & Johnny Valiant. But I want these pencil-neck geeks to know that I have Classy Freddie Blassie in my corner, and he's filing down his teeth!

Bring it on Pollinators! Bring it on!
