uh . . . what’s the last comment all about?
I was expecting an Al Gore caricature…..
Posted by Greta on June 17, 2008 at 11:05 am
p.s. …you’ve pretty well exhausted the others…. (had a senior moment … clicked too soon)
Posted by Skerrib on June 17, 2008 at 11:50 am
Greta I dunno what you’re talking about. When I want to interview someone I always go to their most recent blog post and make my request via the comments thread. That way the owner has to dig to find it, and I know if (s)he’s really committed to his/her cause. I also try to sound like a Nigerian check scam as much as possible, so as to leave the commentors scratching their heads. Gotta keep ‘em guessing.

Skerrib,
That was exactly what I was thinking when I read that comment!
And I’ve been wanting to interview John for months and he doesn’t seem to ever find my requests!
Maybe if I use exclamation points after every sentence!
He has to see I want to interview him now!

Posted by John Shore on June 17, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Too funny. I just got here. Of course I’d now like to delete that request (not because I’m not interested, but because … it’s so out of place here), but … then I’d have to delete the comments ABOUT it below it, and that would be Major Carnage.
So. I’ll let it sit.
Sam: I’m sorry, but you’re right: I’ve never gotten any such request from you. Which is lucky for you: Trust me, I’m a boring interview.
Posted by Jon Gilbert on June 17, 2008 at 1:26 pm
John,
Thanks for taking me up on my suggestion. Great choice. I would imagine McCain’s supporters looking to Obama like something without teeth yet somehow carnivorous, that lives in clustered, rudimentary housing, voraciously loyal and clingy (as to bibles and guns) — but that’s just me talkin’.
Jon

Could that be Cousin Itt’s dog?
Posted by samwrites2 on June 17, 2008 at 4:36 pm
John,
Just kidding about the interview request – I haven’t really made one yet.
You aren’t leaving the Libertarians out of the animal icon action are you?

“Moronically loyal. Dreadlocked. Blind. Prone to fleas. High maintenance. Hot.”
While I see what you’re saying … aren’t you being a little hard on the dog?
Posted by John Shore on June 17, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Nah. I’m just being hard on McCain, see. I’m not actually ascribing those characteristics to the dog; I’m saying that’s how McCAIN sees those characteristics relative to his perception of their relationship to Obama supporters.
Man. That’s TWICE I’ve had to explain these jokes. That’s definitely … two times too many. I must be lagging…
Posted by Candace on June 17, 2008 at 10:32 pm
You silly
I knew that!
I was just flaunting my dry Midwesterner sense of humor.
Shoulda put a smiley-face after. Ooops.
Posted by John Shore on June 18, 2008 at 2:57 am
Ah. Well, I know that you’re a huge lover of dogs (and love huge dogs, for that matter), and if there’s ONE thing I’ve learned in my career as a “humorist,” it’s that people can sometimes lose their sense of humor real quick when it comes to things about which they have particular passion or interest. But that didn’t happen this time, I see! No worries if it had. There’s a whole bunch of stuff I can’t get funny about at all. It just so happens that Rastafarian dogs isn’t one of them.
Posted by Candace on June 18, 2008 at 3:54 am
Sigh. Poor people with too much of the humorless sort of passion. They do suffer so.
I wanna know how to make an avatar, so I can look like one of my dogs rather than a quilt square.
Being as they are extremely cute and lovable.
I will have to figure this out, this avatar thing.
Posted by John Shore on June 18, 2008 at 4:47 am
I’m Avatar Ignorant, for sure. All I know is that, on my end, I have a choice between having these quilt things appear next to people’s names, or leaving them blank. I figure they’re better than a blank box, but … maybe not. Whatever.
The one for you there–that purple … thing–isn’t very appealing, is it? It’s, like, “Candace, the Psycho Boring Person.” Not good.
Of course, that’s about the same message my mug delivers. So maybe it’s hopeless either way…
Posted by Lynn on June 18, 2008 at 12:44 pm
I like my “quilt thing,” square, avatar, whatever…it’s a bit ‘comforting’…and I’m not sorry for the pun
Can I have Candace’s since she doesn’t want hers? Purple is pretty. Pretty pleeeez?
Don’t look at me… Candace started this…lol.
“Tag,” you’re it Candace
Posted by Candace on June 18, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Hey, Lynn, seriously, as soon as I manage to fill that quilt frame with a big old mastiff face, the purple is yours.
But you hafta figure out the details of the transfer, as I haven’t a CLUE!
BTW, I agree with John that a quilty thing is better than blank space.
Posted by Lynn on June 19, 2008 at 6:04 am
Hey Candace, on second thought, once you figure out how to fill the frame with your fav dog’s face, let me know how you did it, so I can fit a Chocolate Lab’s face into the frame I’ve been given. Isn’t it a woman’s perrogative to change her mind?
Okay, on to more serious matters…
Posted by arlywn on June 19, 2008 at 6:25 am
uhoh. they said they were going to get serious…… we should run right?
Posted by Candace on June 19, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Like the wind, sweet pea!
(Lynn – still researching. Not coming up with much by way of info. BUT, will share when I do get it figured out. And I WILL figure it out … only a matter of time.)
