Fun, But Pointless

Plus You All Saw It Coming

"Kerry/Boxer in '08!" Ha. I slay me.

At least I didn't lose all my posts, blogrolls, etc. Though my profile isn't coming back to normal. I don't want to have "The illegitimate child of Oliver Willis and Ana Marie Cox" up for eternity. (I am, I just don't want it spread around like that.)

It would have been a lot better if I could have made some more detailed fake posts about Chimpy McBushitler, but I just thought of it on the fly. Plus, too much moonbattiness gives me a migraine.

Next year, though . . . next year will be awesome. Or I'll probably realize at about 10:45 PM on March 31 that April Fools' Day is imminent and just throw something against the wall again.

Now . . . to tackle all the posts I should have made over the last day but didn't want to wreck the joke for. (My priorities are totally out of whack.)

Name:
Location: Mishawaka, Indiana, United States

I graduated with an English degree from the University Of Notre Dame in 2001, and in 2008 I have a day job that has nothing to do with my degree but gets the bills paid in a semi-regular fashion. (I have running water five days a week!) The idea is that once I get turned around on my bills, I go to grad school. I also have an idea for cold fusion. Anyone's guess which will be feasible first. In non-work mode, I'm usually reading columns by famous and well-read thinkers, blogs by critically praised writers, or sometimes blogs by overzealous cranks who make me laugh. I yearn to be all three at once; until then I'll settle for being the third. I also have an undying love for the Chicago Cubs and Notre Dame football. Praise them and I'll buy you a beer; curse them and I'll dump it over your head. If that's not enough, I'm becoming quite the fan of no-limit Texas Hold'em. My games have one of two results: I either win all the money or whine because I didn't win all the money.

Damn right.

What's Your Line?

 

I absolutely love the name of your site.

Scott "Big Trunk" Johnson, Power Line
Just the name? Not the content? . . . I'll take it.


You have something in common with Dave Barry, Hemingway, and Mark Steyn: I'm not linking to them, either.

BlondeChampagne


That's good stuff there Mark.

Dean Barnett, Soxblog
Psst, it's "Mike."

Okay, so I don't really have a copyright. But I still don't want you ripping me off. Reprint it all over the Internet if you like, but give me proper credit and link back to me. Besides, if you're going to plagiarize, steal from someone with some talent.
