All of this stuff, unless otherwise attributed to someone else more clever than I, is ©2005, 2006 by Joe Goodwin. That’s me, the chap writing all this stuff. As stale, tawdry, or otherwise boorish as this material may seem, it all comes from my own head, through my own fingers, and across my own DSL line to your end of the Internet. As such, it belong to me, not to you. It would mean a great deal to me if you didn’t steal it, plagarize from it, or otherwise make it necessary for me to spend boatloads of money on lawyers that certainly have many better things to do with their time, such as file class-action lawsuits against fast-food restaurants.
Permission is hereby granted to link to any of my material, or to quote small portions thereof for purposes of review, research, satire, or just to poke fun at my audacious nature, just as long as you attribute this stuff to me. I think most parts of the civilized world call this “fair use.” If you are unsure of the definition of “fair use” you should hire a lawyer and ask him or her. Then do me a favor and tell me what they said.
All rights reserved. What they’re reserved for, I really don’t know, but I always see these things in copyright notices, and I’m a real lemming when it comes to legal-speak.
If you read something that offends you, your family, your pets, your household vermin, or your next-door neighbor, please feel free to jump in the lake. Oklahoma has more lakes per capita than any other state, so I can recommend several good ones.
