As per Lily's suggestion:
In the name of all pure and holy
Layne's author may be named Odin Soli
That name is a crime
For which he should serve time
And eat nothing but bad guacamole
Odin Soli, the man behind Layne
Has an imaginative and quick little brain
His next blogging trick
Will be a bi-sexual chick
Who works as a clerk somewhere in Bahrain.
it's a gift isn't it?!... #1 - lmao...
Posted by: leah at June 24, 2004 12:27 PMAway one day went Layne
Not by boat or by plane
Lesbian geek fiction
Killed by blogger interdiction
And a beloved myth is slain.
The question I've got is, who in the hell is Odin Soli and what's his real name? Oh yeah, and where does he live so I can send him a cowpie in the mail?
Odin created a girl named Layne
But what did he have to gain?
Unless writing as a girl
Was a change to give a whirl
To the identity he seeks to obtain.
Odin Soli's life is very simply boring
So he created Plain Layne to go whoring
As alter ego she worked -
No dysfunction was shirked
And her comment box numbers went soaring
Ummmm...that was supposed to be "chance to give a whirl".
It's not quite as funny the other way...dumb fingers.
Posted by: Lily at June 24, 2004 07:30 PMThe perfect geek dyke with too much to do;
but the tale's too wild to really be true.
Now that he's quit,
I have to admit -
Odin has ultimate blogging kung-fu.
There once was a fucker named Odin
Who looked just a bit like Charles Grodin
He made up a girl
and gave her an URL
And his lies we all started downloadin'
The notorious hoaxer "Emitter"
Dreamed of Layne even after he quit her
Got drunk and said, "Hey,"
"I'll be Layne for a day"
and passed out with a vibe up his sh*tter

Posted by: Ryan/Quiplash at June 27, 2004 08:19 PMHi. Nothing to add here. Just wanted to drop by and focus on your brilliance now that that bitch Layne is out of the picture.
Posted by: Kevin at June 28, 2004 10:51 AMBright...ain't it.
Posted by: Lily at June 28, 2004 01:53 PMThere was this interesting place
though the blogger was uppity and blase
And then the tale fell thru
the blogger was untrue
Now the archives have disappeared without a trace.
Odin is a man of duality
That lost his grip on reality
He created Layne
To deal with the pain
Of his slipping mortality.
Odin Soli, though a good friend of Mitch,
Is so self-absorbed it just makes me twitch
He's dismissive and curt
About the people he's hurt
Could he be more of an elitist bitch?
Nice!

CP: But you must have seen people attach themselves to Layne in very personal ways through e-mail and chat. Didn't it occur to you that you were playing with fire?
Soli: I didn't foresee all of this. I was intrigued by the ways you could practice a persona online. That's all. In that sense, maybe I was more naive than everyone who was reading the site.
Huh. Sooooo, over 5,000 unique visitors a day were naive?
Posted by: Ryan at June 29, 2004 11:19 AMDamn, could he be any more clueless?
Posted by: Jen at June 29, 2004 01:44 PMFor three years, a blogger named Layne
Gave her readers sex, adventure and pain
Revealed as a joke,
Liar, cheat and a... bloke?!?
Odin sniffs: "It was *so* easy yankin' their chain!"
I have been so enchanted by Layne
A lesbian who was so close to sane
So sincere and so smart
And so tender of heart
That I wanted to vote Liberal again!
The thing that made me suspicious of mind
When comments were so far out of line
Layne never attacked
Or tried to bite back
She remained ever gracious and kind.
But the liberal lesbians I know and I see
Are intolerant if I disagree
With their take on life
With their kind of vice
And their theory of what weddings should be.
Good Point. Anyways, this was where i met her. You can join for free as well www.redtricircle.com
