Oscar Jr. Was Here

An Interview with My Coblogger

O: How long have you been reading weblogs?

M: Maybe six weeks.

O: What's your favorite blog?

M: At this point I would have to say ResurrectionSong.

O: Okay, beside this one? Okay, favorite three?

M: [ignores question]

O: Have you ever read Instapundit? If so, what did you think of the site?

M: Yes, a little. I don't feel like I've read enough to have any real thoughts about it. It is, however, interesting why I first read it. I did a Google™ search for Glenn Reynolds after reading a post which mentioned that most people don't know who Reynolds is. I sure didn't.

O: Paper or plastic?

M: Paper? Wait. Plastic. I'm way too indecisive.

O: Any thoughts on the Super Bowl?

M: Who cares? The Packers weren’t playing, nor were the Eagles. If the game had been Packers v. Eagles and you somehow could have gotten the Bucs’ Pirate Ship in there, that would have been quite a spectacle.

O: How'd we miss the halftime, er, show?

M: Um, I think Mr. Beer had something to do with it. Or, perhaps I was too busy talking.

O: You approve of the halftime show as family "entertainment"?

M: No, I do not approve of it as "family" entertainment. I am only amused because it inspired my new Jackson family conspiracy theory. Hahahahaha!

O: You and your conspiracy theories... Seriously, now, how was the chili dog?

M: Fantastic, as always.

O: Why 'no cheese', cheesehead?

M: I'm on a strict diet! Okay, no, because the cheese here is overkill. Now if they had quality stuff like cheese whiz™....

O: How can we get into the habit of posting more often to the site? I mean, besides interviewing each other at your local 'watering hole?'

M: Quit tickling me!

O: Hey, you started it! So, who's going to win the presidential election?

M: Duh, Bush.

O: And you'll be okay with that?

M: Well, yes. Considering my recent uptick in nightmares involving the Democratic candidates, I don't think I will be able to sleep at night if it is any other way.

O: When are you going to let me set-up your blogroll? Stumpjumper now has one, so I'm feeling a little guilty about it.

M: When I have one.

O: You'll have one when you tell me you're ready, goofball. Want another chili dog?

M: Ok. No, thanks, I'm good.

O: Was the post that I sent you on Iraq the Model the best thing you read today? (For me, it was.)

M: Yes. Definitely.

O: Are you getting bored with this interview and typing on my PDA?

M: Nope. This thing is cool.

O: Not bored then? What's wrong with you?

M: I'm a dork.

O: Not so bad, I think. Will you vote for Wesley Clark given your shared taste in muppets, beer and peace on earth?

M: Yo, he's one tough hombre! That guy was drinking a Corona today. Go Wes! Get wasted and let Grover take over! Although Grover might not be much better since you introduced him to Budweiser. You are such a bad influence. Um, to answer your question, no.

O: Or was it purity of essence? -- I forget. Hey, you left one unanswered upstairs. Get on it!

M: Hmm. I really haven't read enough weblogs to choose my top three. I guess if I took a look at what all I've read I could answer that a little better. Or maybe it's because I spend too much time wondering if there's anything new at ResurrectionSong.

O: So, you're not going to recommend our site to any readers who might stop by? I don't either, but you're new at this.

M: Well, I would, except nobody ever posts anything.

O: But enough frivolity... You really like Seventh Heaven?

M: I told you that was a secret. Yes folks, I am a huge dork. Yes, I do really like Seventh Heaven. With all the trash on television today, it is refreshing to see "family" entertainment at its finest.

O: So, who's next: Iran, Syria, North Korea, the U.S.? What's your best guess?

M: Sheesh, wouldn't your readers care more about my opinions on pants vs. trousers? Ok, my best bet: GW will scare the trousers/pants off everybody and they will all become democracies. No, seriously, I am not educated enough on the subject to give a firm response.

O: W. Powell, C. Grant, J. Stewart or H. Bogart?

M: JIMMY STEWART!!!! Heck, how come he never ran for office? Didn't anybody see Mr. Smith Goes to Washington?

O: M. Loy, K. Hepburn or A. Hepburn?

M: Hmmm... tough. Katharine or Audrey. I can't choose.

O: Okay, I disagree with you on both choices. Let's try again: Dinosaur Jr. (J. Mascis) or Screaming Trees (Mark Lanegan)?

M: Dinosaur Jr.

O: Sorry, Zombyboy. She may like your site better, but she prefers my music. Maureen, are we done for now?

M: Done with what? I've still got some beer left.
