The Idea of Progress Interviews the Idea of Progress (part 1)
The following is the first in a series of groundbreaking interviews with the reclusive genius known to his public only as “The Idea of Progress.” The interview was conducted by reclusive genius The Idea of Progress.
–
-Your post, The Forevertron, or The Idea of Progress Hits the Road, redefined the entire concept of blogging as the world knows this. How has this affected your marital life?-
How many times do I have to tell you? I’m not married. I’ve never been married, maybe I will get married one day, but I’m currently not. And I never marched with Communists in Sweden. That’s all a lie.
-That directly contradicts something that you’ve previously written.-
Since when does anyone believe anything I’ve ever written? And where’s my drink? You promised me whisky if I consented to this interview, and all you’ve provided is Jack Daniels.
-Jack Daniels is whiskey-
[sweeps bottle off of table] I demand George Dickel!
-So, what are you drinking these days?-
I don’t drink.
-You been passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize again this year. Has this affected your friendship with Al Gore, the Dalai Lama or Henry Kissinger?-
I’d like to set the record straight on this one. I am not friends with Kissinger. I needed a kidney, he had a kidney, end of story.
-Will you be running for President this election?-
Did Jimmy put you up to this? [Expletive deleted] this, I’m leaving.
Like the new picture. You know, though, that you’re not known to your public _only_ as the Idea of Progress if a) a certain member of the public’s ex-boyfriend had drinks with you last month and b) said member of public also reads IHOB, where McGone once referred to you as “[your name here] over at the Idea of Progress…]
McGone’s right, though. You seem like a good kid, but in an actual blog war I’d be on his side. Sorry, [your name here].
I still have a blog crush on you, though. Brilliant Condi pics.
Red: It’s the worst kept secret on the Blogonetosphere 2.0.
Will the ride on this billionaire playboy’s crazy train ever stop?!
Wow. That interview was intense–talk about being able to cut the tension with a knife. Whoooo.
I met a guy once who claimed to be The Idea of Progress, and he seemed a lot more mellow than the guy in this interview.
Great interview. I will be ripping this idea off in the very near future.
Although, I guess Colbert did it too last week.
I will rip both of you off and give neither of you credit.
I assumed you’d end up making out with yourself, but maybe you’re saving that for sweeps week.
