It’s nice to see that someone is succeeding at the sorts of things I’m failing at, namely, supernatural fetus fiction and fancy fanfic. Even if n+1 is savaging it, there’s all that Granta/NewYorker stuff to ease the pain.
A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

Flatulence jokes would be a cultural upgrade.
Thanks Matthew.
Good article to boot.
I’m not following – both of those articles are quite old.
Fine, just switch everything in my post to past tense and rejoice that you’ve made me feel even older.
I’m just sayin.’ Surfing with Mel and Alphose came after both of those pieces, I’m pretty sure. And note that the writer of both of those articles hasn’t written for n+1 since 2010…..so, there’s that.
Repackage! Rebrand! Reboot! Reload!
Well put.
Recycle! Retread! Regret! Relapse!
Rotate! Repeat!
It has something to do with NGOs. Both of these articles reference NGOs. I think you see where I’m going with this.
Surely you don’t mean…the Bipartisan International NGO’s?
I think you are supposed to refer to them as the ______ International NGOs.
Then the _______ _______ NGOs.
I think you see where I’m going with this.
And I think you know how to make NGO possessive and I do not.
We should crash a church _______ _______ NGO game when (Deo volente) we’re in New Orleans.
Look, we got two things going on here. Maybe three. A game, a song, and an abbreviation. What I’m saying, Angelico, is that you should have referenced a _______ ________ ________ GO game, and Bingo was his name-o.
Back to the topic at hand, that is a cool photo of that hack writer who can’t hold a candle to you, Mr. Lickona.
Sorry to drop the ball, Ms Expat.
Incidentally, the Ngô family might make for an epic Lives of Famous Catholics volume.
Indeed!
Also nobody seems to have noticed that I tracked down a Martin Short interview about Mel Gibson over on that other thread. Martin Short is “Jewish on his agent’s side” but actually Irish Catholic. The more you know.
Of course I noticed. It was brilliant. But comics – oof. Hard to imagine a tougher subject. Plus, I can’t even get what I’ve got on my plate seen to. The shame of it.
Oh, and thanks for being sweet. Gaga Confidential has me very nervous.
You probably tell funnier jokes than Mr Brockmeier, and you certainly have more hair.
