This may be a humble, obscure blog, but it has a sterling past: I've received both an Instalanche and a Steven Den Beste-lanche before; I have, however fleetingly, known massive traffic from running with the big dogs. Recently, after posting a comment, I got a reply from El Rey himself—Glenn Reynolds of the megablog Instapundit, which only recently added a comments feature. It wasn't much of a reply, of course; it was the standard refrain of "Faster, please!" that Reynolds always utters regarding the advent of new, nifty technology. The post is here; my comment, and its reply, are pictured below:
This was a bit like meeting Art Buchwald on Georgetown's campus, or seeing Garrison Keillor at an airport baggage claim, or standing in front of the great Chuck Yeager while he signed a copy of his book, or seeing Ted Kennedy pop out of an obscure side door at the Kennedy Center (remember that, Mike?): just a light, quick brush with fame.

Heh.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I remember Teddy K looking for the back door to the Eisenhower Theatre.
ReplyDeleteI'm posting this comment here to anticipate what commenter "Mori" is going to say in reply to my two-comment response to his/her comment on my "contra Mark Rowlands" post. Essentially, Mori, whose pettiness was (1) visible from the beginning and (2) follows a predictable pattern, will say, "Thanks for proving my point." Because that's the nature of petty people.
ReplyDeleteWell, Mori, seeing as I've written this at 4:49AM on Thursday, September 19, 2013 in Hayang, South Korea (i.e., 3:49PM on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 on the east coast of the United States), well before you sent me your snappy comeback, I can say:
Thanks for proving mine!
All too sad and predictable.
