"The Hallway" ("The Corner" Parody)Man, I've been wanting to do a Corner parody for-ev-er. Always was on the "things to do" pile, though; never made it to the "doing it now" pile. Wuzza Dem beats me to the punch with his own parody. BREAKFAST [Wuzz] Good stuff. Read the whole thing. Points subtracted for no mentions of Marmite, crunchy-cons, Star Trek, "immanentizing the Eschaton," or Cosmo the Wonder Dog.* * Corrected: I said "immanualizing the Eschatology," whatever the hell that could mean (if anything). Thanks to my commenters for riding me hard like Vinny Falcone. posted by Ace at 08:55 PM
CommentsAce, Thanks for the link, and for the constructive criticism. Bill from InDC also dinged me for not having anyone refer to themselves in the third person. Posted by: John from WuzzaDem on January 12, 2005 09:10 PM
That was nicely done. I especially liked the response to " Can you link to my blog?" Though I must admit the Corner has gotten better about that as time goes on. Posted by: Kathy K on January 12, 2005 09:10 PM
Dear Ace,
yours truly, Posted by: amish on January 12, 2005 09:54 PM
Hah... that's a good premise. I might publish some of my hate-mail, which deems me a sell-out to the white race. Posted by: ace on January 12, 2005 10:09 PM
WAS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY? I DON'T GET IT. Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 12, 2005 11:11 PM
NO Posted by: John from WuzzaDem on January 12, 2005 11:26 PM
John, It really wasn't criticism, constructive or otherwise. It was 1, Joshing, and 2, how I would have done it, and 3, expressing my own annoyances at the sometimes too-cute banter in the corner. You went in a different way, where you weren't parodizing the Corner per se, but having your own "corner" made up, it seems, of various incarnations of yourself. So it's just a different take. Good stuff. No criticism intended at all. Keep it up. Posted by: ace on January 12, 2005 11:29 PM
i liked it. Posted by: amish on January 12, 2005 11:33 PM
Pretty good. Needed Cosmo, math problems, and baseball. I liked it, though. Posted by: Blackjack on January 12, 2005 11:59 PM
This is supposed to be a parody of The Corner? Huh? Posted by: CraigC on January 13, 2005 01:27 AM
Ace, if you're talking about "immanualizing the eschatology", as a theological/political issue, you probably mean "immanentizing the Eschaton". And yes, I know I need to get out more. Posted by: SparcVark on January 13, 2005 09:15 AM
Tim Cavanaugh at Reason did a parody of the Corner shortly after it came out. A bit more brutal. Posted by: JohnL on January 13, 2005 10:28 AM
Needs some arcane math posts, and maybe a couch reference....it's well done, though Posted by: johnnyh on January 13, 2005 11:04 AM
Ace, I know you were kidding, so was I. No offense taken. You are correct, this is not really a parody of The Corner, so much as using that format for a piece. The "Corner Parody" was just a line I was using in my link-whoring efforts - always use descriptive (and, if necessary, deceptive) subject lines to grab the reader's attention! Thanks again. Dave - I lied, the answer is yes. CraigC - see above. Kathy, Blackjack, Amish, and Johnny - Thanks! Doug - I don't care if you think my site's a piece of crap...oh, sorry, that comment's for a different blog. Posted by: John from WuzzaDem on January 13, 2005 12:20 PM
SparcVark is right, it is "immanentizing the Eschaton." There's a lot of loose shit going on here.
Posted by: Alex on January 13, 2005 12:51 PM
very well done! the only think missing is that JFW needs to "SIGH" every other post in exasperation at the fact that those damn liberals are still running around uncaged and actually not supporting W. Also, needs to "god bless" people a lot a la Tiny Tim. Posted by: on January 13, 2005 01:59 PM
Ace and John, LOL! I think "The Hallway" is hilarious! RE: RE: LAZY READERS [John] Right. Sorry, my bad. Just sent this e-mail to him: Sorry, my bad. Perfect. Posted by: MeTooThen on January 13, 2005 04:16 PM
I thought "immanualizing the Eschatology" was, like, a joke. A deliberate malapropism. Well, you could always say "I meant to do that!" Posted by: Pixy Misa on January 14, 2005 01:21 AM
