QBlog's Farcical Help Desk - 47
By QBlog in Farcical Help Desk
Every Friday, the QBlog Farcical Help Desk™ answers the Quixtar questions that nobody dared to ask. Additionally, each Help Desk answer is guaranteed to end with some form of punctuation or we'll refund your money. No fooling!
Question: Is it true that the Kia guy running the "Real
Quixtar Blog" is really a public
relations manager at Quixtar?
Answer: Yeah. His name is Robin
Luymes and rumor has it he can make a mean rhubarb pie!
Q: I love rhubarb pie!
A: Who doesn't? It's so tangy and sweet. Like a slice of heaven you can eat.
Q: No doubt. So why did it take Luymes nearly 18 months
to publicly share his identity as the "blog's" author?
A: I think he was busy perfecting his rhubarb pie recipe and just kept putting
off the big announcement.
Q: But, why does his big "outing" post seem
so defensive?
A: Because he's very sensitive about his "blog." Some people apparently
claim
it's not really a blog and I think it hurts his feelings because his life-long
dream has been to be a super-cool blogger like Jason
Kottke or Glenn Reynolds.
Q: But does his "blog" have permalinks?
A: No.
Q: Trackbacks?
A: No.
Q: An automatic archiving system?
A: Apparently not.
Q: An RSS feed?
A: No.
Q: Does his "blog" ping Weblogs.com
or Technorati or any other similar
service?
A: No.
Q: Does he update it infrequently with self-righteous
musings that overstate his own importance while putting down those who disagree
with his opinions and observations?
A: Yep!
Q: Ah Ha! So it is a blog after all.
A: Apparently so.
Q: Again with the tardy Help Desk™?
A: Wha? Tardy? Isn't this Friday?
Q: No, it's not. You know damn well that it's Saturday.
A: Ummm...
Q: Let me guess. You were building a time machine? Or,
you were in Malaysia and got your days mixed up?
A: Well...
Q: Out partying?
A: To be honest, we were all getting ready for Executive
Diamond Club (password protected) in Kauai, Hawaii. The entire Help Desk™
staff gets to go! Check out the video
and slideshow
for EDC. It's gorgeous!
Q: Wow! That's fantastic. I wish I could go.
A: Keep working and one day maybe you can go! Diamond forever baby!
Q: Don't you think it's odd that Jody Victor is the
only tool business
owner on the This
Biz Now website? Especially considering that he's not a big fan of This
Biz Now and the fact that he's currently got a little "thing"
going on with Scott Larsen.
A: Ummm... no. He's a success story and so it's only fitting that he's on the
"Profiles
of Success" page.
Q: But why is Victor getting all the love? Why not Orrin
Woodward or Fred Harteis or Billy Florence or even Casey Combden?
A: Because none of them have cool last names like Victor!
Q: Ah, good point. Victor is a sweet last name. To the
Victor go the spoils.
A: That Jody, he's truly a Victor.
Q: Yeah. Can't do much with Woodward.
A: Or Florence. Only images Florence brings to mind are Florence
Henderson of the Brady Bunch and Florence,
Italy.
Q: Florence, Italy isn't a bad image.
A: No, it's not but it sure can't compare to Victor.
Comments
Orrin's name is there???
Can't say I am a fan of rhubarb pie. Well I am not really a fan of sweets period, except for the occasional Snickers bar and a good Apple Pie.
Oh Yeah, and I am not a fan of that Quixtar stuff either.
