Dusty is not getting anyone on her side. I’ll bet Kelly tried to advise her, but y’know, she scents blood now, and zeros in.
Durnell, for his part, is playing the bit he’s been assigned- aggrieved and combative. Everything the camera wants to see, in order to make compelling television.
Dusty, though, LIKES it.
I don’t know who’s realized it, but Dusty isn’t particularly nice. In front of the camera, hosting her TV show- yeah, she’s bright and effusive and all that, but otherwise… I dunno. Secretly, I think she chuckles when she squishes bugs.
Nikki has earned herself a bit of time to wander around the ‘Fest, I guess. Nothing more to do in the store- might as well go and check in on 1) Mayhem, 2) Paste’s weird bunch, 3) Where Bob’s got to 4) the lunacy of the final games of the day…
Come to think of it, the store might have been better than the crazy mess.
Imagine having a job where you just think of insanely weird things to do and then put them on the internet to see what happens next.
Paste seems to think that’s his job. He’s probably right.
He thinks, “I bet a lot of people are taking video at the finish line. What if I were to ride past them naked? Would I get a lot of views? Let’s find out!” Aaaaand he lets people pass him in the race while he ditches his britches. The race standings? Bah! How many people are gonna click on a video of a filthy guy running through the finish line? A thousand? Three thousand? Fine. How many are going to click on, view, re-view, and then re-post a video of a little lunatic pedaling bare in a crowd of startled racers? Hmmm. Not good enough. Better do a war cry, pedal no-handed, and make either gang signs, rude gestures, or a self-deprecating hand sign while being video’d. Yeah. Better.
Too bad the Sharpie Tattoos wore off a while back.
Oh, that’s nice… Pete’s got some friends now.
Or, well, that may be as close to friends as he’s had for a while.
Well, I had hoped to post this about twelve hours ago, but you know how that goes. Or, if you didn’t know- now you do.
Visiting Scott Stantis is great. He’s one of the sharpest people I know, and would make a much better business of Hubris than I have so far. But with his shining example, maybe I can get myself into a better gear. Or maybe I’ll just make an effort to hang out with him more. It’s a worthwhile thing to do. If YOU know any editorial cartoonists, go ask ’em how their day is and listen to the answers.
