Snarky Email of the Day

Friday, April 18th, 2003

From Bruce Karol:

Just out of curiosity -

If you don’t know jack about war and religion, why do you post on them? It’s fairly evident from your latest posts that you’re way out of your league (and no, I’m not a Catholic but why such venom?)

I do enjoy some of your writings but some are completely out to lunch…..

Bruce: If I only posted on stuff I “know jack” about, well, this blog would be limited to posts about

1) dog parks

and

2) origins of the word “Hoosier.”

I think that would get old pretty quick, don’t you?

I’ve never claimed to be a Jack-of-All-Trades. Merely a Jack-of-Tirades.

    Don’t forget posts about shelves, Radley. You know about those, too.

    ….. and monkey butlers.

    I find it funny to think that email could have come straight out of the inbox of pretty much any employee of any news source.

    Don’t forget real estate ala the search for the emerging island nation.

    Oh damn,

    Are you counting automatic male defaults. Knowledge of things like B.O., baseball, porn (particularly crush fetishes), and a few others, but the combination of beer and pre-Easter candy consumption are inhibiting complex thought. Well, there’s another one, Beer.

    You can go either way. Generally, I wouldn’t consider ingrained or instinctive knowledge as “things you know” but the criteria stated as things you know jack about, leaves that door open.

    You dont need quality content, the blog would go on. The wit of you and your chronic comment posters stand alone.
