Time Man of the Year

"PopeDirkBenedict... has asked me to tell you, in a very long speech which I cannot share with you presently—because of time—but I will be glad to share with the press afterward, that he must... very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award. And the reason for this being... are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry… excuse me… and on television in movie re-runs, and also the recent happenings at Wounded Knee. I beg at this time that I have not intruded upon this evening and that we will, in the future…our hearts and our understanding will meet with love and generosity. Thank you on behalf of PopeDirkBenedict."

 

Fuck YOU!

 

That is what they're doing.

 

I was totally fucking kidding.

 

I never won ANYTHING before.

Gosh...

 

This is great for me, but now that I'm Time's Person of the Year (which should make me reasonably well known) I have to ask this ...

If I wake up in a Soho doorway, will a policeman know my name? Or will he just ask, "Well, who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who? Cause I really want to know."

I just get the feeling that the bugger still won't have heard of me in spite of my newly-exalted status as Time's Person of the Year.

 

100 bucks to whoever puts this on their resume.

 

I'm not worthy.
Give it to Bubbler.

Do we all get a participation trophy and a Coke?

 

I'd go with Chavez. He's a serious instigator, there are rumblings he may shut down Venezuela like Castro did with Cuba to outsiders and he's fucked around with gas prices by cutting us off. This guy's a few sangrias away from doing something that could really be a pain in everyone's ass.
