I recently met up with esteemed commenters, fellow liberal Democrats and Digital Camel denizens Kevin and el Jefe up in Baltimore.
(L-R) Kevin, el Jefe and Joe in B-More, loving President Obama
The main purpose, of course, was to celebrate the election of Barack Obama, which we did in grand fashion over a plate of Earth-friendly Obama Nachos and several pitchers of Hope and Change Lager. It worked, because by the third round we were all feeling more liberal than ever and well on our way to the type of change America needs.
Also, we were seeing Kevin off as he prepares to leave for Denver. I’m going to miss that guy. But thank goodness for the omnipresence afforded us by the Internet.
On which note, our discussion brought up a few interesting points relevant to this blog.
-Both Kevin and the Chief revealed strong suspicions that I was, in fact, both “Jack” and “Jacob.” When I pointed out their basic logical fallacy – to wit: I am obviously extremely lazy, ergo I could not possibly be ghost-writing two additional bloggers – they recanted, but then immediately expressed intense interest in what these flesh-and-blood “Jack” and “Jacob” characters are really like. When I explained that Jack and Jacob are both trim, well-manicured, kindly, self-effacing gentlemen more attuned to pastoral pursuits than the pell-mell of city life, both much in the mold of Supreme Court Justice David Souter, they seemed relieved. I think this foreshadows an even more elevated level of dialogue here.
-There will be another Amnesty Week at NVTH. It has been too long a time coming. We have a multitude of excellent commenters who deserve the opportunity to post whatever the hell they want on the main page. The upcoming holiday season seems a great time to put this in motion.
-A truly novel idea: We will initiate a program called “Honest Talk” which will be utterly revolutionary. Here’s how it will go: We put up a topic for discussion, and everyone has to tell what they think about it completely honestly. No artiface, no BS, no games; enforced with extreme prejudice. This will allow us all to get to the core of our various beliefs and disagreements. In sum, it will mean taking the innate human capacity for conversation and using it as our Creator probably meant for it to be used. I realize it sounds insane, but it’s so crazy it just might work. Stay tuned, it will be coming soon, and please prepare yourself mentally for the challenge.
That pic is too funny. How ridiculous!
What is the gang sign Kevin is flashing?
It’s a “W” for Dubya. LOL
geeks..
Denver is now in trouble. Wait! Nevermind.
and yet, no comments from jack or jacob while you were in b*more…curious.
Hmm, it’s true we have rarely, if ever, been seen in public together ….
On the other hand, please note we haven’t seen much of Jack or Jacob in any form here for a few days.
oh yoo-hoo liiiiibaaaraalls, I’m baa-ack! Jack and I were hunting. Killing cute, furry stpid animals is a passion we share, deer are but one example. The Berkshires are beautiful this time of year.
