even with the x-ray vision I bet our brains weigh the same
Posted by zooey at February 16, 2004 04:15 PMI am completely speechless. This is one of the more brilliant stories I've ever read. I'm going to print it out and wallpaper my town with it. You're a genius.
Posted by scott cunningham at February 16, 2004 08:10 PMwow. wallpaper. please don't use staples, scott.
Posted by jeremy at February 16, 2004 08:11 PMI've already had two close friends mention to me how much they liked this story--I'm glad to see it's back up.
Posted by Matthew at February 17, 2004 10:50 AMthanks for the propaganda. maybe I'll start a philistine revolution on lookout mountain.
Posted by zach at February 18, 2004 08:59 AMGreat story, Mac. Glad I found your blog, because I'm notorious for not keeping up with old friends. Oh yeah, thanks for letting me drive the Dart a couple of years ago!
Posted by Stu at February 18, 2004 09:05 AMhow come you never respond to my comments? i am deeply offended in this criminal act. please, i need attention. i am obsessed with you.
Posted by John Phoopa at February 18, 2004 12:40 PMdear john (ha),
if you had been patient, you would have been surprised when i showed up on your fort worth doorstep this weekend. due to your impatience, however, and your lack of trust in our abiding phoopaship, i am forced to cancel my ticket.
and no more belly rubs for mazzy.
Posted by jeremy at February 18, 2004 01:29 PMJeremy,
I linked to your blog through Rick and Rachel's, just out of curiousity from one of your comments left on their site. I certainly wasn't expecting to find a story as well written or forthright as this one- I enjoyed it immensely. Have you posted other things you written...are they archived? I'd be interested in reading more. And while I'm commenting...the recent facial hair photos...not sure I blame the female students for their lack of eye contact...yeesh!;)Thanks for the fascinating blog.
Blessings,
Sarah
thanks for reading, sarah. hopefully, all the things i've written are still on the main page for some serious down-scrolling, since i just started this thing a few weeks ago, and all the things i've written for public consumption/regurgitation/disgust should still be there. if you're having trouble accessing them, do let me know. glucklich wiedervereinigung.
Posted by jeremy at February 18, 2004 05:35 PMSo far so good...consumption, regurgitation, and disgust- check, check, and check plus. However, me knowing only some French, and more Greek and Latin, I was only able to come up with a partial translation for your parting comment...do oblige me? All I got was ...something something, reunification? :)
Posted by Sarah at February 19, 2004 01:14 AMhappy reunification -- the only thing i remember from 8 years of german. not so handy since the early 90's
Posted by jeremy at February 19, 2004 08:25 AMI apologize for laughing, but "Clearly this man was not my friend" had me rolling. Great story.
Posted by marchant at March 26, 2004 06:58 PMthanks for checking in, marchant. it's probably good that you were laughing. i've had worse reactions.
