Boycott This
There is a dandy little squabble going on right now. On the one hand there is Corey Lynxx. He makes videos without wearing a shirt, or lighting his face. He might have other talents, but that is not evident from his videos. Mr.Lynxx got upset with a local restaurant owner, and decided to call the man at work to discuss this problem. The restaurant owner, a man named Shaun, was busy at the time and declined to discuss Corey’s problem.
The next player in this miniseries is Andisheh Nouraee. Copy and paste is wonderful for Persian names, even when he is usually called Andy. Mr. Nouraee writes a column for Creative Loafing that PG seeks out every time he gets a copy. The column makes tries to make sense of the world beyond the lower 48, and manages to crack a joke or two along the way. Andy was offended by the manner in which Corey was dealing with his problem, and made a video of his own.
The next two entries in this exchange were made my Mr. Lynxx ( Which is a handle. PG is not sure what his “real” name is.) The video monger manages to light his face, not that it is especially attractive. He eats a sandwich and continues to talk. Numerous comments are made about the hirsute Mr. Nouraee. Apparently, Corey Lynxx does not like bears.
The last chapter, for now, of this melodrama shows Andy, speaking in the style of Chris Crocker. It is not as funny as his column. It should be noted that writing a column for publication takes a bit more skill that putting a talking head video on youtube.
Andy wrote a cover story at CL a while back about the best five blogs in Atlanta. A lady named Spacy Gracey was not included, and said lots of mean things about Andy. Nor was Chamblee54 mentioned.
Meanwhile, PG took a look at Andy’s twitters. A Federal Judge ruled in favor of Alabama and Florida, in the tri state lawsuit over the water of the Chattahoochee River. The Atlanta area has grown astronomically in recent years, without attending to the basic need of people for water. The Georgia legislature would rather worry about the State Flag, than provide water for the unstoppable development in the metro area. The Judge has ruled that Congress will need to solve this problem in the next three years.
You really have to look carefully at the fishwrapper to find this story. When PG opened the page to get this link, the headline about water was “below the fold”. Above it was a story about how “Long, hot days have inspired these six cool cocktails. Bottoms up!” PG wonders about the priorities in Cox Country.
