14469. wonkers2 - 4/5/2005 4:05:02 AM I always wanted to do that. Used to drag race in high school. 14470. iiibbb - 4/5/2005 4:05:56 AM What's stopping you? Detroit must be a great place to try it. 14471. Macnas - 4/5/2005 10:32:40 AM alistair, I know you're a bit of a fan, and 'though I don't know what your con-speed is like, you might like to look at this.
14472. alistairconnor - 4/5/2005 11:33:55 AM Ooo lovely. Haven't got any speakers here, but I will have a listen from home... probly cut a MP3 cd. 14473. Magoseph - 4/5/2005 12:10:43 PM Mac, Woden posted this blog somewhere--I can't remember where now, but I'd like to know if the man strikes you as being a real Irishman.
McBarney's McBlog 14474. Magoseph - 4/5/2005 12:13:50 PM iiibbb, while reading your story, I held my breath until I came upon this:...it's basically safe... --then I re-read it and enjoyed it very much. 14475. Macnas - 4/5/2005 12:47:45 PM Mago
Eh, I don't know really, he might be for all I know (or care) and he might not be. I suppose the question arises: what makes somebody really Irish.
For that matter, do I strike you as being a real Irishman? I might be a Latvian upholsterer living in Botswana.... 14476. Magoseph - 4/5/2005 1:19:47 PM Yes, you do, and I might be a defrocked nun who fled Algeria. 14477. Macnas - 4/5/2005 1:38:15 PM I still think you should write a book. 14478. Magoseph - 4/5/2005 1:40:23 PM I forgot to thank you for looking at the blog and Flexy thanks you for this: Say hello to Flexy for me and tell him I don't blame him for wanting you all to himself.When I showed him what you wrote, he said with a satisfied smile, tell him Hello and Thanks.
I still think you should write a book.
Mac, why do you think that? 14479. Jenerator - 4/5/2005 2:29:02 PM Arky,
I WISH they had been pecs. He needed a trainer bra, and the odd thing was, he was slender. 14480. wonkers2 - 4/5/2005 4:54:11 PM Maybe he had good abs? 14481. wonkers2 - 4/5/2005 4:55:19 PM Cap'n Dirty sez, "Or a schwantz like The Cap'n." 14482. Magoseph - 4/5/2005 4:56:30 PM Maybe he had a super brain? 14483. alistairconnor - 4/5/2005 4:57:47 PM Hey, and I thought big tits and a shy smile would get you anywhere... 14484. alistairconnor - 4/5/2005 4:59:56 PM About your book, Mago :
I think Webfeet's onto it. You should write a novel, with elements freely adapted from your life and times. From the fragments I know, it could be quite an epic. 14485. Magoseph - 4/5/2005 5:18:30 PM Now, you’re starting to talk like my brother, my husband, my sons, and Mac—if only I had the gift of writing well, I could be tempted, I suppose.
I wonder if all of you guys arent' just putting me on... 14486. alistairconnor - 4/5/2005 5:23:40 PM Serialize it here. We shall be merciless literary critics/ coaches.
Start with a short story. 14487. Magoseph - 4/6/2005 12:37:55 AM About Bellow, Judith, do you remember this winter when we discussed his work on the telephone ? I told you that I was re-reading “The Adventures of Augie March” and I had all his books. Since then I re-read “Humboldt's Gift” and “Herzog”. I would have re-read his other books, but then I discovered Ian McEwan. At the time, I looked up his biography and thought, “Another one of my favorite writers who will not be around for much longer.”

The little bits and pieces I know of your past, and by that I mean the odd memory or two that you've shared here, seem interesting to me. Enough that if it were in book form I should like to read it.
And no girl, I'm not putting you on and I'm sure alistair isn't either. If you are tempted to do something like putting pen to paper, I wouldn't synopsise my life so far or anything, I'd pick a particular story from my past and, as alistair suggests, make a proper short story out of it.
