I got "The Call"

#1 Post by Rafferbee » Tue Oct 14, 2008 7:04 am

For reals! Yesterday they called me. My tape day is October 30th. I am very excited!

I never use smilies, but today I think I'll make an exception.

Another Halloween YAY! Go for the treats!

On a related note, where's suitguy's Halloween show call??? If he doesn't get one, the other costumes must have been truly spectacular.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Woo Hoo!
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Congratulations! As always, if you'd like a PAF with a modicum of experience in the role, I'd be more than happy to help. Just post or shoot me a PM. --Bob

Congrats.

By the way, if that's your real name, it's the coolest real name I've seen in years.

You should be a private eye with that name.
I am about 25% sure of this.

Maybe you're thinking of this guy?
It is my real name, but I also have a first name that goes before it usually. Maybe we'll name our first kid Rafferty Barnes.
