The Interview:
The Interviewer stands patiently in front of two chairs, waiting for ‘Him” He peers into the blue sky, but sees nothing. He taps his microphone.
Interviewer: Hmmm… I hope ‘Him’ gets here soon. Oh, is this on? Hello, my name is Jim and I am hoping to interview, ‘Him’…I’m just waiting for…wait a minute, I think ‘Him’ is here.
A rush of wind, a blur of purple and blue, and ‘Him’ arrives, standing majestically, hands on hips, cape flapping in the breeze.
Interviewer: CaptainCourtesy, so nice of you to take time out of your busy schedule to meet with me. Won’t you have a seat?
CaptainCourtesy: Very courteous of you Jim
Interviewer: Captain, why have you come to DP.
CaptainCourtesy: Well, I’ve been lurking here in the shadows for about 3 months, observing the main players, taking stock of the lay of the land. I have found things to be quite to my liking; many speaking intelligently about issues that not only am I interested in, but in which I can both add to and learn from. There are of course those few that seem rather discourteous…at which point I go into superhero mode, and well, you know what happens next.
Interviewer: Of course I do. Captain, share, if you will what you plan to bring to DP.
CaptainCourtesy: Well Jim, I lean moderately left on most issues; a few, I’m actually somewhat left of Karl Marx. Interestingly enough, though, there are a few issues that I’m way right of Attila the Hun. An odd mix, I would say.
Interviewer: What level of participation do you plan to have at DP.
CaptainCourtesy: I’m not sure, Jim. With both my mild-mannered day job, and my night job of combating the world’s discourtesy, I’m pretty busy. I think it depends on both my time and the reactions I get.
Interviewer: Well Captain, I know you must be going. I want to thank you for taking some time to speak with me.
CaptainCourtesy: Happy to do it Jim.
Another rush of wind, a blur of purple and blue, and ‘Him’ is gone.
