SITDStaff: Mr. Foot?
SITDStaff: Allo, Foot?
10InchMissleMan: What??!!
SITDStaff: Mitch wants us to relay a msg to U
10InchMissleMan: OK. Shoot.
SITDStaff: He doesn't want you to get Shot in the Dark mentioned in the "Blog House".
10InchMissleMan: ???
SITDStaff: You know: that Saturday column in the Strib when that Moonbat Tim O'Brien summarizes the week that was in the blogosphere.
10InchMissleMan: ROTFLMAO!!! I know what the Blog House is. Why would he think I would ever get SITD mentioned in that column?
SITDStaff: Just passing his view along...
10InchMissleMan: I mean Mitch has been in the Blog House like - what? - 3 or 4 times. Me? Never. Why the hell would he worry about me?
SITDStaff: Like I said, just telling you what Mitch -
10InchMissleMan: You know, there are only 3 ways to get quoted in the Blog House: 1) Write the pithiest version of whichever left-wing trope is circulating the 'net at the time; 2) If you're a conservative, write something that can be stripped of its context in such a way that it can be used to portray you as a "coy racist"; or 3) Have a blog with an average daily traffic of 8 unique hits. None of those apply to me.
10InchMissleMan: Plus, I think Tim O'Brien probably has avoided reading my stuff since I wrote this.
SITDStaff: You mean to tell me that you have never written anything that can be used by a moonbat to present you in a false light? I call BS.
10InchMissleMan: Well, I'm sure I have, but it's usually so drenched in coarse language and disgusting imagery that it's unprintable in a mainstream newspaper.
SITDStaff: I see. I like the profanity angle. Go with it.
