Pauli, sometimes completely altering the reality of a photograph, desaturating it into grainy, washed out sepia tones is necessary to tell the greater truth of the story, in this case that I'm a person to be intimately and unconditionally trusted, as ancient and timeless and true as the background against which I've carefully posed myself.
I ask you, what wouldn't you believe or buy from that face, in that context?
The Very-Serious-Rod-As-Stone-Monument selfie just soars beyond every previous selfie in gobsmackingly adolescent posing. Wait; I apologize, adolescents.
Well, that selfie removes any doubt of what all these posts and the upcoming Dante book are all about.
But if you still have doubt about whether all this is about Rod Dreher, the play-by-play of which cantos he read when he was standing at various locations at the gravesite, and how many cantos he made it through before he ran out of time (but he would have read all of Paradiso, honest!), ought to cure that.
Watch out, that monkey will sue you! He won his last copyright suit, too! Come to think of it, I think that monkey's memoir could be a real thrill compared to Rod's showoffish book club journal aka "how I beat the napping disease in 40 courses plus a cheese tray and beer sampling for dessert."
I just tasted vomit.

DeleteI see it on my phone. LOL!!
DeleteI just looked at the pic we're mocking here. Wow. First impression: isn't it funny how he has to remove his glasses in order to look serious?

ReplyDeleteNot only that, but don't forget that he'll sic the West Feliciana Parish Sheriff on you too. (Scroll down to the story "Defamation".)
DeleteThat picture should be in this list.
