I look forward to Megan’s existentialist crisis over how to sort CDs next.

Can’t see the navel for the lint.

I imagine Megan smelling the way artificial sweetener tastes. That is, not quite right, and slightly revolting.

Just a footnote from the future to this whole conversation: Garance Franke-Ruta has just confirmed the essential truth of this post.

Seriously? You’re making fun of me for not having as many comments as Sadly, No! This is so lame!

I don’t think RubDMC’s comment was meant to insult, Kriston…

Ah, thanks for the linky goodness, J. My favorite (from the scant comments at Grammar Police): "Is it true that the Chinese are opening workshops full of people who will make moronic libertarian arguments for pennies apiece?"

Kriston Capps: Why is Sadly, No! being so mean? Brian Beutler: Why is Sadly, No! being so mean? (I imagine there are other knights errant out there expressing similar consternation.)

So I really believe the process I describe here is an accurate view of how MegArdle is treated by the blogosphere.

You are a bundle of nastiness — in a totally good way.

But you’ve got to remember hope springs eternal.

But, yeah, I get the sense there is a pack and sense of solidarity among them. It’s the only thing that explains two smart guys like Matt and Ezra falling all over themselves to treat old Megan like she has something to say. It could also be that she’s 6?2? and they’re intimidated.

or its some kind of freaky threesome,

I’m getting flashbacks to the nerdboys I hung out with during my abortive college career. Let’s see if I can formulate an ordinal list for Matt and Ezra here…

(1) Guys, give it up. She’s never gonna have sex with either of you.

(2) Even if she did, it wouldn’t be worth it. And, yes, there are worse things than being a 40-year-old virgin.

(3) She doesn’t really respect Professor Broder’s “mad slipstick skillz”. She only said that because she wants a better grade than her coursework deserves. Professor Broder’s eyes (among other body parts) aren’t what they once were, so she had to work her mouth to draw his attention to the panties she wasn’t wearing. You don’t think she sits in the front row so she can read the overheads better, do you?

(4) No, spending all your spare time perfecting your slide rule technique will NOT help you get laid, or even help you get a job. Professor Broder can yammer endlessly about the beauty of a well-honed ~~op ed~~ slipstick, but in the non-tenured universe most people don’t even know what a slide rule looks like. If you need something to do with your hands, in public, try origami. Or basketweaving. Or making balloon animals — *there’s* a skill with practical applications in the real world. When we senile boomers and Alex Golis are tied into our wheelchairs waiting for the Soylent Green truck, ConPharmaCo will pay you to keep us entertained & quiet without the use of tranquilizers!

(5) No, I am not bitter, because *I* don’t want to have sex with her, either. And saying that I don’t want to have sex with her doesn’t make me a homophobe, any more than saying I don’t want to have sex with you makes me a lesbian, okay?

(6) Oh, stop sniveling. Of course she enjoys seeing you cry, but that’s still not gonna make her want to have sex with you…

M.B.

I’m a little too old to speak very authoritatively on the subject. Job, wife, kid, mortgage, etc., so I’m not exactly Mr. La Boheme. Or La Bloggy.

Hell, I better start being nicer to her too. We live in the same city.

Now I am trying to formulate a philosophy of numbered lists that distinguishes them from bulleted lists.

She has that perfect wingnut instinct for always reinventing the wheel. Go down to the Office and ask a fucking copy editor for chrissakes!

Questions:

Can we assume that all the copy editors she’s ever met came from state schools?

Am I really shocked that she appears to be clueless about the way an outline works?

Will a real unordered list render correctly?

Yes, this is the glamorous blogging lifestyle you’ve read so much about where I get paid to write nonsense and balderdash all the live long day, with no accountability whatsoever (as long as idiots and asswipes – like me – keep buying the magazine). Whooeee, the only better thing would be a job in the Bush administration. Consider me for I’m unqualified!
