GR: Good points, all.

INDC: … yes, well, when you first started blogging, did you ever imagine that Instapundit.com would get this big?

GR: Nope.

INDC: So, what, you were doing it as more of a hobby or an experiment? You were actually surprised by the speed at which you achieved your current popularity?

GR: Yes.

INDC: Okay … well, you often write about how blogging and other new media vehicles are revolutionizing the traditional media environment and changing the way that news is disseminated; do you think that this trend will lead to a situation where blogs may eventually eclipse or even replace traditional media?

GR: Hmm. You’d think.

INDC: Uh, care to elaborate on that?

GR: More thoughts on that at Glennreynolds.com.

INDC: Uh, yes … I’m sure that there are, but since we’re here and all … do you have any current thoughts on the matter?

GR: I guess.

INDC: And, those would be …

GR: Heh.

INDC: Um … … forgive me if I’m not making much sense here, this is my first interview, and I’m a little nervous. In no way do I intend any ... disrespect, but the interview might be a bit more informative if you could, uh, expand on some of your answers.

GR: So noted.

INDC: Ok, well, back to my initial question then - do you have any additional thoughts about the blogosphere’s role in the future media environment?

GR: But of course. More on that here.

INDC: Yes, yes, I see your laptop … um, but can you tell them to me?

GR: Update: more here ...

INDC: What the hell is your ...

GR: ... and here ...

INDC: Alright then ...

GR: ... and here.

INDC: ... let’s ... let's just skip ahead and try something a little different. I had thought it might be fun to liven up the interview with a little pop psychology.

GR: Yes, let's!

INDC: Ok, why don't you take a look at this inkblot and tell me what you see:

GR: Nanobots.

INDC: Ok, and this?

GR: It's not work safe.

INDC: Uh huh ... and this?

GR: Prison rape.

INDC: And ... here?

GR: Mazda RX-8.

INDC: How about this?

GR: Lileks.

INDC: Lileks? No shit, huh? Ok. Well that was somewhat more revealing than your previous answers, but let's go back and try some regular questions again, shall we? I'll try one more time: the future of the blogosphere - where are we headed?

GR: Yet another update: more on that here.

INDC: Yes, yes, yes! I skimmed that article by Bill Quick like two years ago! What are your ...

GR: Read the whole thing.

INDC: Dammit! What are your thoughts? What do you think? Do you have any opinions of your own? Can you form compound-complex sentences? Jesus, you are really starting to piss me off, Reynolds!

GR: That's too bad.

INDC: Are you making fun of me? Is this ...

GR: I agree.

INDC: Is this a fucking joke to you? You think INDC Journal is just a fucking joke?!

GR: Not ready for prime time, if you ask me.

INDC: Not ready for prime time? Not ready for prime time?! Fine, fine! Screw this interview, and screw you, buddy! You can take your "more here's" and your "heh's" and your "Lileks's" and you can stick 'em where the sun don't shine! You hear me? I take funny pictures and crack jokes about moonbats, ok? And people like it, so you can just piss right off!

GR: I'd like to say that I'm shocked by this, but, well, I'm not.

INDC: I'm out of here!

GR: You'd think.

INDC: Kiss my ass Reynolds!

GR: Heh.

FIN

NOTE: For the humor-impaired, or those simply not familiar with Professor Reynolds or INDC, this interview was not real.
