Prelude to a Lick

I have ten minutes to sum up last month. Maybe if I write really, really big and string things along with a lot of run-on sentences I can milk this for a page. In search of a point… Well, maybe not.

By the way, it’s Sensitive Scott Month here at Lollipop. People seem to get the mistaken impression that I’m a mean, vicious, insensitive, stinky, anal-retentive, arrogant, pushy, miserly type of guy. 5′ 10″, SWM, enjoys cats, chicks, getting really shit-faced in public places, words that begin with the letter P, writing long and excruciatingly pointless essays, dust covers, file folders, and run-on sentences.

Sorry, what was the question? Actually, I’m one of those misunderstood, sensitive, artistic types (see illustration), I’m just not usually drawn that way.

OK, I’m out of time and one of the copy editors wants to go home.

The final topic is openings. By expanding (and expanding and expanding) the magazine, there is always a need to bring in new experts. If you have an area of expertise and a way with words, why not put it to some good use? Sometimes students get college credit for interning, some want free stuff. Some would just rather hang out with us and file stuff than watch TV all day.

We’re always looking for new writers, artists, photographers, designers, people to take out the trash, open the mail, and so forth. The possibilities are endless. Send in something kinda like a resume and some samples. Tell us where you’re from and what you’re into. What have you got to say?

Lick me.
