My husband. Yeah. Him.
He truly, in his heart, believes that any entry that includes him as the topic is vastly improved. Even if he plays a minor character in the entry, that entry is automatically better.
Case in point: he IM's me a link. I click on it. He actually said, "An excellent entry by Gavin." Because as you now know, because you clicked on that link, the entry features him as the point of it. Thus, perfect entry.
He also believes that he improves any joke or story he is recounting. If you tell Chuck a joke (or story), I will guarantee you that when he recounts the joke (or story) he will change it. In his mind improving it.
Like salt improves the flavor of just about anything you add it to, I guess so does my husband. (Who now believes I just wrote the perfect entry.)
Posted by beth at September 29, 2004 10:58 PMNicely done, honey. There were two sentences that didn't have me in them, but otherwise: not bad. An excellent entry, possibly your best yet.
Posted by: Chuck at September 29, 2004 11:03 PMI would have to concur with Chuck. I nearly wept at the sheer beauty of such perfection. Only one thing could have possibly improved it, and that would have been the inclusion of me.
But since we're not married or even dating, I understand why I'm not in there. So this will just have to stand as the perfect comment.
Posted by: Carol at September 30, 2004 09:34 AMNice work, Carol. You worked both you AND me into that comment. Brava! Brava!
Posted by: Chuck at September 30, 2004 10:25 AMI love this blog! It mentions Chuck so very often, after all.
The only thing that would make it better would be if it actually had a permanent link to Chuck's website. That way I could find it easier!
Posted by: Jim at September 30, 2004 10:45 AMPerhaps you'd all just be happier if, when you enter my URL you go directly to Chuck's blog, thus completely avoiding the middle man? If so, let me know. I'm happy to oblige.
And Jim, there is a link to Chuck's site, over on the right there, under regular haunts, My Old Man, is, interesting enough, my old man's website.
Posted by: beth at September 30, 2004 10:48 AMThank you, Chuck, I try my best. *bows*
Beth, while I'm usually all about avoiding the middle man, I'd prefer that you not do so in this instance. If I want to read about Chuck, I can just go to his URL. This way I can read about what it's like to be with Chuck.
(Though you know I will always think you are tremendously fabulous, Beth.)
Posted by: Carol at September 30, 2004 11:31 AMOK, I'm actually heartened to see the "My Old Man" link. I had been scanning too quickly.
So what else can you tell us about Chuck???
Posted by: Jim at September 30, 2004 03:38 PMSee, Beth? Do you see? When you write a QUALITY entry -- one about me, in other words -- the people flock to it. Give the people what they want, Beth: Me.
Posted by: Chuck at September 30, 2004 05:09 PMVery nice. I'm curious if your Chuck is the same Chuck that pens Marriage Made On-line.
Posted by: Square1 at October 1, 2004 06:57 AMUmmm....no....he is not. If you click on the link, you'll see that he is the same Chuck that pens There's Pie in the Lunchroom.
But welcome anyway.
