Ahoy Lifers. This is your Captain speaking. This will be a short post, a teaser if you will, for an upcoming new feature on the Life Despotic™ (
NOW WITH WINGS FOR EXTRA SUPPORT!). After very little forethought and even less planning, my good acquaintance and sometime foe
Everything is Muted and I have decided to test the waters of inter-blog communication with a new project a lá the über-nifty
Conversation blog with scribes David Brooks and Gail Collins over at
The New York Times.
As Ivan Zissou is involved, however, dear readers need not fear the subject matter becoming too academic. On the contrary, we have decided upon a sufficiently silly topic ripe for angry diatribes and petty insults. That topic? Tune in to
Muted's blog tomorrow(?) to find out. I told you this was just a teaser.
OBVIOUS QUERY: If you're not going to tell us what it is, why not just spare the teaser and do the damn thing?
SNARKY RESPONSE: First of all,
Muted has been tasked with the firing of the opening salvo in our verbal
tête-à-tête, so I wanted to warn you avid readers to look for it there, lest you find yourself surprised when I post my stinging and inevitably superior response. And B) this gives me the opportunity for a little pre-game trash talk. But as the Captain would never stoop to the level of insults or petty threats, I'll simply let my good friend and countryman Ivan Drago do the talking for me. Your weather forecast is cloudy, Muted. With a 100% chance of ass-kickage.
I'm going all Cobra Kai on Muted's Daniel-san.
