Don’t get me started on A&W, Angelique…that’s some great freaking root beer, although not as good as Virgil’s, which redefines great carbonated beverages in our time. And like cotton candy, it’s got plenty of sugar, so I take your point. I just wonder about W, R’s long-term plans for LROD…but in the meantime, I guess I’ll stock up on the c.c..

Thanks for the kind words and the bookmark, and please continue to contribute to the discussion!

AW (hey, wasn’t that already taken by a certain soda manufacturer? oh… wait… that ampersand makes all the difference, baby!) ~

Anywho…

As a regular blurker and comment poster at LROD, I have to say that I agree about your cotton candy simile.. with one exception: I adore sugar and shall never tire of its taste.

So until and unless there isn’t enough insulin in the world to buffer LROD’s infusion of sweet-sticky-nutty-salty goodness, I say, “Let’s all feast!”

Incidentally, I’m bookmarking your site as well. Seems you have a wicked wit about you, too… nice stuff.

My pleasure, W, R. And maybe you’re right about saving the serious self for your writing…I can obviously identify with that (although I often try to be serious here as well, I guess). Either way, LROD is funny, and I plan to check back with it again, postmodern or not.

I think this is an incredibly astute critical review of LROD, and I appreciate it. I’m not sure I mean to be a postmodern joke, exactly. But maybe. Maybe by virtue of saving my serious self for my real writing, I am kind of a jester of the blog. Also, I’m not so sure that I won’t one day reveal my true identity. We’ll see how things go. In the meantime, I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
