1:42 PM me: I'm actually amazed

1:44 PM Clark: readiing it now
2:03 PM Clark: a long time ago I was teaching a class at the local state university in southern indiana and one of the guys in the class told me after class one night that almost nobody in the class had any notion of irony and simply wrote down everything i said, resigned to the fact that enduring crazed teachers was part of the the meaningless process of getting credentialed, the point being that i suppose it is possible that thousands of people think you suffer from overweening hubris
2:04 PM me: very possible indeed
2:05 PM at any rate, I'll be able to make it more evident that Project PM is a real thing as I announce Lipp's partnership
Clark: and that you barely have time to write and make videos between your main occupation of substance abuse
me: again, somewhat accurate
2:06 PM unfortunately, that's something I'm going to have to overcome by way of spending enough time on PM to ensure that it proceeds correctly
Clark: maybe you and eric can figure a way to harness the dispute dynamic and do good things with it in the critical mass project
2:07 PM me: I just talked to him, he says they tried something similar in the past and would be interested in making structural changes, rather than what you proposed
which may be for the best
perhaps we can think of something they could implement on their small scale that would work
2:11 PM Clark: let me know what he's interested in, i do not find myself reading as many of his writers as i did at, say, true slant
me: yeah, I'm not impressed by several of them
2:14 PM Clark: it is interesting that mccain's readers like to read about you
2:16 PM me: well, I do, too
2:18 PM Clark: mccain himself is coarse and vulgar, continually asking for money to support his 6 kids, i do not understand his appeal to southerners or anyone else
2:19 PM me: at any rate, all of this worth it just to have Marvin Olasky pop in
Clark: i did not really understand that
2:20 PM me: it's a long wacky story
basically Caleb had Olasky as his professor
2:21 PM even before that we found the guy interesting and amusing due to him being a former Marxist turned Evangelical figure and looking exactly like such a person
Caleb immediately began using the e-mail address MarvinOlasky99@aol.com and using Marvin Olasky for all comments, video game characters, etc
2:22 PM in this one game he would be this huge muscular warrior and when he'd kill a monster or some such thing he'd yell, "OLAAAAAASSSSKKKYYYYT"
2:23 PM so, at any rate, this was too complicated to explain to Olasky so I just told him to stop being a nut because this happens to everyone, particularly Charles Johnson, and no one gives a shit
2:25 PM Clark: does olasky still teach, in texas?
me: believe so
I actually met him at a wedding briefly
2:28 PM Clark: Maybe he would like to Blog at the League, there are a couple of professors at community colleges blogging there , I believe, so UT would trump them
2:30 PM me: not sure he'd be interested now
and also Kain doesn't want to bring anyone else on at this point
Eisler might come on later one Kain has implemented any changes
2:32 PM Clark: well, I am glad you got on when you did, it seems to be a good setting for your work, despite the guy who keeps threatening to quit because of your attitudes I got to go, I am painting my mother's bathroom, which has more alcoves than Westminster Abbey and I left the paint open
2:57 PM me: also, update on what we'll be doing with Lipp
