Shark Interview for Shark Week

July 29th, 2008

Great White SharkEdith: Hi, and welcome.

Great White Shark: Thanks.

E: I really appreciate you coming on my show.

GWS: Oh you’re welcome, it’s a pleasure. Otherwise I just swim around all day.

E: That’s a great segue into some of my first questions.

GWS
: Sure!

E: So let’s get back to what you already mentioned—that you spend a lot of your time swimming. What do you do while you swim?

GWS: Mostly just swimming, I don’t know, it’s hard to explain. Well I guess a lot of it is just going around.

E: What kind of food do you like?

GWS: My favorite is seals.

E: Yikes for the seals! If you’re watching, and you’re a seal, turn it off! Go hide someplace, you might die!

GWS: I wish.

E: How many seals do you eat in a day?

GWS
: About five hundred.

“No,” she said.

Every so often, something important happens and I want to tell you about it. I was on the Yelp.com page for the Red Hook Post Office to find out its phone number, and I saw that several people had “reviewed” it. Here is the first review:

[Four stars] i love this post office. the mailman from here delivers my mail every day.

People thought this was: Useful (2) Funny (1) Cool (3)

Wait, what is happening?

Also, what does “cool” mean? “Hey John, I was just reading some text on Yelp, some of that stuff is really cool. No, it was very serious and also it didn’t have any information that I needed, but here is the link, you’re going to go nuts for this stuff, John.”

Oh My G

The best thing I saw all week, except for this, was this:

It inspired me to start my own food-sculpting company: Animals.com. Here’s a sample of the kind of work I do. If you would like me to make food for your party, please tell me.

Hello, My Friend

If you saw a lady walking by you on the sidewalk, and then she passed you by and kept going, and you felt you had to say to her, “Why are you walking like that? Do you have [keys?] in your ass?” What would that word have been? It wasn’t keys.

What did you say to her?

I had extreme porn spam on the blog this week, but with help from some friends, I straightened it out. Sorry about that.

Comments should be working again, too, so please tell me your thoughts.

For instance, how are you doing?:

Good.

I’m pretty good.

I’m tired.

I’m fine.
