A review of D'Arcy's review of a Fireside Chat with Justice Gray
That is one weird looking thumb on the left
Confirming that one other person aside from
my wife
listened to my
scintillating and courageous interview
with
John Bristowe
, our friend
D'Arcy Lussier
decided to offer his own review of the podcast. In turn, I thought I would review his review of the podcast to clarify some statements he made...
"
I can picture Justice lying in bed, listening to John speak his intro over and over and over...
"Oh yes John, tell me how wonderful I am again..."
Being happily married (*and* happily heterosexual, I might add), I don't actually lie on my bed swooning over some dude talking about how great I am. Heck, if I ended up all giddy every time someone told me how amazing I was, I would be dead from excessive hypertension! No, I think this was D'Arcys old friend, Mr. Vicarious W. Fulfillment. "I wish John said that when he interviewed me!!" D'Arcy, one does not call it an "interview" when you call John up at 3 AM in the morning saying, "Ask me if I'm wearing any pants right now!" One calls that
harassment
.
"Mem to spread"? What's a mem...?
What the hell is a mem?!
I pronounce "meme" the correct way - the
masculine
way, with the short e, instead of the ultra-femmy method of the long e. Sure, the *dictionary* says D'Arcy is in the right, but hey, if you like to believe everything you read
in the dictionary,
be my guest.
"OMG, total ass-kiss to a certain CodeBetter guy..."
"
I should start counting how many times he says
Boodhoo
...he's dropping that like its hot!"
"
DROPS BOODHOO AGAIN! Seriously, he's dropped
Boodhoo
at least 5 times...
James Kovacs
, zero...awkward..."
Okay, I promised him I wasn't going to tell, but since I am getting pressure from D'Arc, I will tell you the
true story
of a conversation I had with
JP Boodhoo
the day before* this interview occured:
JP: "Justice, even though I'm internationally known, one of the CodeBetter bloggers, and women throw their underwear at me after I'm done one of my Nothin' But Net sessions, you're obviously
far
more famous than I am. I'll give you two dollars if you namedrop me today during your interview with Bristowe"
"Well, JP, this is really flattering, but I really don't think I can compromise my integri..."
"5 dollars"
"SOLD! And I'll do it five times!!!"
I hope that puts some of these scandalous statements to rest.
* may not have actually happened

Actually, that first comment about the total ass-kissing was regarding your comment about how a certain code-better guy was blogging about exercise...and I was guessing you were referring to the OTHER code-better guy that you've had a recent run in with.

Nothing like that - my reference to exercise wasn't meant in terms of *anyone*! It was in terms of so many deelopers simply not looking after their health, which is a shame (and a total lack of balance). Anyone who tries to keep in shape while developing software has my respect!
