More Chabon?
Perhaps my recent coverage of the hype around the new Chabon has been a little – um – overly enthusiastic. For that, all I can say is… you aint seen nothin’ yet. Behold! I have taken two BGB inside jokes and run them as far into the ground as possible. I blame Herman for planting this idea in my head.
Man, that’s bad.
Because we just can’t help ourselves, here’s more:
There is a real trailer for The Yiddish Policemen’s Union that I stumbled across last night while making the video above. Unlike my efforts, they appear to have some style, a little class, and possibly even a budget.
Alert reader Nicole sent this link to a Seattle Times interview with Chabon (thanks!).

Okay…
The first step is admitting you have a problem. (I think you may have a problem.)

Wait. You are not awed before the Wakow! Chabon tribute? And I’m the one with the problem?

This is obviously an example of prepostneoprotomodernism and should be worshiped as such. Bend to the will of Wakow! Shay-bone! can I get a wakow! from the back? Thank you, brother. let us all say, “Wakow!”

Herman: I’ll give you a dollar to go to the reading next week and yell Shay-Bone! at some random moment from the back of the room. Think about it.

DJ: I don’t think a dollar will cover the cost of the Irish whiskey I’d need to consume in order to do that.

I see a restraining order in your future.

And let’s let the past be the past. Okay?

Oh, I love this… it might have to be shared with all my friends.
I have been a Shay-boooone reader since the mid-’80s, and I’m a huge fan. I was just listening to his recent interview on Fresh Air. It was the first time I’ve heard him speak, and I have to say, I was nervous. Would all that intelligence and creativity turn out to have been poured into a terribly stuck-up persona? (It’s sure happened to other heroes.) But no — he sounds just as sweet as could be. Phew!
I’m a True Believer — from the tribe of “Wakow!”
