Congrats to Christopher Stipp and his "Trailer Park" column, featured in The Washington Post's weekend magazine this week:

Pssh, I get mentioned at the post all the time. ;)

I was going to save this bottle of Cham-pag-ne for a special occasion.
I'm usually not one to pop my corks early.

rumour has it you pop your cork in a matter of seconds...

That's some funny shit, right there, Matthew.

Oh, and congrats Chris.

I appreciate it. I was thinking of posting something myself but, honestly, I didn't know if that would've been too gauche so I appreciate Herr Editor doing it for me.

I'm gonna rant about it a little in my column, not in a bad way, but I must have had a good 20 minute conversation with the reporter and I end up with a couple of sentences, notably pulling out the notion I fancy myself a geek, nerd, what have you. There are worse things in this world and, really reflecting on it, REVENGE OF THE NERDS was a watershed movie for me growing up so there is a little bit of pride in that distinction.

I am extremely happy I was able to give the new site here a shout-out, that CLERKS II got some more ink and that this marks the first time I've ever appeared in a major newspaper like that. It is very cool, indeed.
