No way.
Just failing to see the appeal in the "The Dupe", and it's subsequent rebirth.
I think it's been long enough, and you're hopefully a big enough person to admit by now that you were a little bitter about the whole Lobot thing--after all, just weeks after it's introduction, your site was gone, and you had sold all your crap.
But, then again, you're mostly Swill Bill Murray fans. 
Was the "joke"--was it "Swill Murray"? Please, please, please, tell me that I'm misinterpreting it. For your sake. Because if "Swill Murray" was your intent--then good God man, that's just horrible.
And who in the hell is "Jimmy V", and what were his words of inspiration?
Jimmy Valvano? I mean, I remember the guy, I remember his story, but I can't remember any particular quotes of his.
Or are you talking about our mutal buddy, "Jimmy_"?
Just like always, you just don't really make very much sense.
