This Kids in the Hall thing is going to haunt me forever. I don't know what I was thinking with this whole internet nonsense. It's so damn boring now. And relentless. Someone sent me this link to an old (2003) interview with Mark, and there's some... let's call it interesting... commentary from Mr. McK: GM: The biographical information doesn't change. Have you ever met any of these webmasters who devote their lives to following you? MM: They show up on tour a lot. One of them is a woman named Tavie, who writes a lot of stuff and kept a couple of the message boards going. She must have shown up to fully a third of the shows on the last couple of tours we did. GM: And? Is she all there? MM: She was probably singularly not impressed with us. GM: Why's that? MM: Well, I guess she really likes our comedy and is just okay about us. Wow, can he really not tell the difference between "cripplingly shy" and "unimpressed"? See, shy people get a bad rap. We're not aloof... we're terrified. And if someone offered you free tickets to see your favourite comedy troupe live, you'd take them, dammit! Even you, Mark. Especially if you were 20. ^ ^ Some day I'll regret the fact that the internet will forever tie me to this stuff, freezing me at age 16 in the throes of obsession for as long as I live... Some day... ... maybe even today...* *Yeah, right, this from the girl who THREE POSTS ago is all, "Tour again! I was born ready!" Yeah... it never really goes away. Otaku forever. It's just... kind of... too tiring lately. I try to make myself as excited as I used to about it, but all I can think is, "I hope they don't do live shows on a work night..." |
