Jason Whitlock's Twitter Outing Fail (of me)

(Sorry to double post this is AG and Journalism board.)

So, I'm not sure exactly what I did to upset Jason Whitlock -- although I suppose the fact that he was played by Sweetums in my one act Deadspin/Muppet play didn't thrill him -- but he's been trying to out me on Twitter today, and out of respect to Les Carpenter, the person Whitlock outed me as, I thought it was appropriate that I come forward and correct the mistake.

Sadly for Jason, I'm not Les.

Moddy can attest to this, as can numerous people here. IJAG. Headbutt. Big Ragu. BYH. Several others.

I only correct this lame attempt to zing me because I think it would be unfair for Les to have own anything I've written here, or that anyone think Les was pimping himself when I was writing about the Washington Post sports section.

I pimped the Post sports section because I enjoy it very much, and admire many of the people who write there. However, I do not work there and have the pay stubs to prove it. Of all the Washington Post sports writers I have a man crush on, Mr. Carpenter would be fifth or sixth in that illustrious list. If I was going to pretend to be someone else, it would be someone with boyband looks like Saslow.

I don't guard my anonymity too closely here, and it's probably a foolish decision, because I write a lot about myself and the business, usually without much of a filter. It's part of the reason I took a six-month break recently. If you're desperate to figure out who I am, it's not that hard. Mostly, all you have to do is ask.

Anyway, sorry to have to clear that up. Especially sorry to Les, who is probably a much better speller than I am.

To clarify, my new avatar has nothing to do with your last sentence, DD. And no need to ask, I am in fact Oscar the Grouch.

Holy Tebow, how did I miss that one-act play?
I'm laughing so hard, I'm crying.

Whitlock needs to go back to the buffet and think of something else better to do.

 

Re: Jason Whitlock's Twitter Outing Fail of me

I knew it!

 

Re: Jason Whitlock's Twitter Outing Fail of me

Saw that for the first time now. That was pretty funny, DD.

Take it as a compliment.

You haven't arrived until you've been fake outed by Whitlock on twitter.

 

Re: Jason Whitlock's Twitter Outing Fail of me

so is it true that dd is really les carpenter? how about les nessman?

 

Re: Jason Whitlock's Twitter Outing Fail of me

Hmmmmmmmm, maybe Whitlock is sending emails to people's employers, too!

 

Re: Jason Whitlock's Twitter Outing Fail of me

Wait, Whitlock is on Twitter trying to out somebody on here? That's off-the-charts pathetic by Whitlock.

Didn't he swear he'd never look at this site again when he left?

Nice job, Twitlock.
