Q: You win some, you lose some.
You aren’t getting the pictures, online, but you are able to save a Word file as an html file, and edit it in Word.
Before, you had to save the Word file as a txt file, import it into your html editor, and style it in your html editor.
You had a limitation on file size.
You can make larger files now, instead of splitting them in half.
A: That’s true.
It’s going to be easier.
That was cumbersome.
Q: Would you compare Double-Sawbuck (XX) to May Sarton’s At Seventy, or At Eighty-Two?
A: I’d compare it to Thoreau’s Journal.
Kierkegaard’s Journal.
Q: They were both big walkers.
A: Joe Gould’s Oral History of the Contemporary World.
His ambition was to stroll and ponder.
Q: You have Razz Heap a senior fellow at the
prestigious left-wing think-tank in Point and Shoot,
His job is to stroll and ponder.
Write white papers.
A: Prestigious left-wing think-tank is funny. We live in a knot of holy-rollers here.
We can’t even
have an Obama for President ’08 sign in our front yard.
Q: Used to be, I would see a picture.
A: It’s our front yard. There’s an Obama for President ’08 poster. Across the street you can see a house trailer, and, through the trees, Parker Bayou.
Our yard is planted with xerophytic plants. It looks like it is overgrown by weeds.
We look like we are in violation of the code.
Q: What code?
A: City, county, state—people tell you how to keep your yard, so you won’t look like poor white trash.
Q: Poor white trash gotta live too.
A: I am proud to be ashamed to be white.
Q: Didn’t you go to Ethnic Heritage Day at IBM as
a
A: Yes. I wore bib overalls, a feed-sack shirt, red, horsehide brogans, and a jipijapa hat. My ethnic heritage dish was a banana pudding with a yard-egg meringue.
Q: Brenda wore flour-sack drawers so long she had dumplings in her crack.
A: Yes. We were Swiss Family Cracker Power.
Q: That’s ironic, too. The cracker has the least power of any ethnic group. He is vilified as a racist, a sexist, and a homophobe.
A: I call myself a Professor of Cracker Studies, without portfolio.
Q: Who would give a cracker a portfolio? The junior college? Not on your bloody tintype, mate.
A: I was a Cracker for Obama. In 2008.

A: Yes. More than ever.
He needs us now. More than ever.

A: Yes. That was a good one.
Q: Are you proud to be on the Internet, even without pictures?

A: Yea, probably.
