And I, having listened to the snippet that was, after all, quite funny and you sound like a great person to have pancakes with, that is, when not working at the hospital, peed with laughter.
Congrats, I say, congrats.
I was impressed with how at ease you seemed to be on the air, as if you do that sort of thing all the time. Not an “Um…” or “Er…” in the whole bit.
Congratulations! You’re my new literary hero!
Just heard it. That was hilarious!!
Way to go Boyo Jim!
(I’m compelled to re-read your posts in your voice now)
Congratulations! We are so proud of you. 
That was indeed a charming interview. Enjoy the 15 minutes.
Wow, man, awesome. Can I say I know you, or circumstances befitting, deny the same?
Before the cock crows, you will deny me 3 times.
I have decided I’m going to make an attempt to corner the market on bad writing. I understand there is a well-known Bad Hemingway Contest that I’m gonna make a run at. I already have a prelininary title – along the lines of what is already working for me – The Old Man and His Pee.
A Doper being the Best of the Worst. Not only great, but very very appropriate.
And then penis will ensue.
You’re right, especially since my response contained a typo. It should have read, “Before the cock grows, you will deny me 3 times”
Shudder. Reaching for my big red pen…
You deserve the one and only F- that I’ve given in my career.
I am in awe!
You’re not a nun, are you? I went to catholic grade school, and I’m scared of teacher nuns. I’m also a little bit upset that no priests tried to molest me – wasn’t I good enough, prime enough, sweet enough?
Ya got a good start for your next Bad Writing contest right there, Boyo. Keep them juices flowing.
Holy krâpp, that was you??? Well, congrats!
Have I said for a while how much I love this place? It is by far the most entertaining place, and second only to the library of my childhood, the most educational place I’ve ever hung out. Ah, the heady rush of being quoted and responded to, and reading the the brilliant insanities that far out-insane me.
It is also the most intellectually stimulating community I’ve ever been a part of, where I don’t feel like a cypher and an alien species. Which is kinda ironic because I literally AM a cypher here, as we are all – an ocean of ones and zeros flickering madly about in a place that is made of wires and magnetic fields. Oh, yes, and the tubes, let’s not forget the internet tubes.
I am a much funnier and relaxed person in RL than I used to be as well. Sometimes I think it’s because I get my crazy thoughts out safely here, but at least partly ecause I am more comfortable expressing my crazy thoughts in RL than I used to be. The sparring and one-upsmanship we practice here really pays off elsewhere.
The CEO of my company passed me in the hall the other day and asked, “What were you smoking when you wrote that sentence?”. I was actually quick enought to say, without fear, “Coulda been anything, probably paint chips or banana peels.” He just broke out in laughter – I never wouldn’t have the guts to say something like that 5 years ago, and probably not even to think of it in time in any case.
This place connects my neurons in strange ways, what can I say?
Crap, I missed this earlier.
This is just too awesome for words. If awesome were dynamite, Marvin the Martian would not need his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator. Congratulations.
Of course, we will now all piggyback on the coattails of your fame, like the leeches that we are.
It really does, doesn’t it? My writing skills have never been better, either. And my swearing at other drivers in parking lots - par excellence.
I had another radio interview today, and found a chance to mention the Dope. It will air next week on WUWM, public radio in Milwaukee, a show called “The Lake Effect.” Probably Tuesday evening, but they’re not sure and will let me know. I had a chance to mention the SDMB as a place where I and many others post and work on our writing skills – I’m not entirely certain what all I said, but they have promised me an MP3 copy.
There also used to be an annual Faux Faulkner contest. I can’t find any current info, but this might be a step in the right direction (don’t know if it’s current).
Best of luck!
