I Get Interviewed

Gwen Bristol, a freelance reporter who writes for the Bismarck Tribune and Minot Daily News (among other publications) and also runs the blog Beyond The Weather, asked me for an interview recently and I agreed.

You can see the results of that interview here.

Most people know that I’m a terribly uninteresting person, but Gwen does somehow manage to drag some interesting stuff out.  Like the fact that I dressed up as the Phantom of the Opera for Halloween in the 4th grade.

Yeah.  I was a weird kid.

Fourth grade, I was Groucho Marx.

Still my favorite costume.

After the costume choice mentioned above, I couldn’t get any girls interested in me until I was 17.

Rob...Would you say the majority of your readers are from North Dakota? I have never been there. BUT I am a BIG fan of SA and you as I am sure you well know.

Zsa Zsa on October 17, 2007 at 03:19 pm

I would say the majority of readers (lurky loos) are from North Dakota, but the majority of responders are nation wide. Give credit to a few foreigners in the mix too as well as those we have no clue where they spawn from like [e.g.WETBACK, Woof, sparkie etc.]

Hey, gang, Gwen has a nice blog, go check it out. And you hooligans wipe your damned feet! I did.

Rob, you have certainly had an influence on people outside of ND. And Anna, most of SA’s pass through, non-commenting readers are probably from outside ND. Just like you and me, and ZZ, and Carrick, and markm, and Lik, and, well you get the idea. I know he has several readers overseas. A few in Iraq, and a posse on Diego Garcia. I’m kinda like a missionary, spread the word far and wide.

You guys should make us honorary North Dakotans!!

Heh, I practically feel like one already.

Ken McCracken on October 17, 2007 at 05:11 pm

I can hardly REMEMBER 4th grade… smile

For some reason I always had to be a princess for Halloween. My mother would buy me the same costume every year. It had one of those masks with the eyes and mouth cut out and a rubber band thing in the back. Everyone else had really cool costumes. Homemade and creative. Not me though.

Zsa Zsa on October 17, 2007 at 05:36 pm

LOL, I was thinking the same thing golfmann . I may remember the 4th grade but certainly not what I was for Halloween. (I was best at tetherball though, recess I can remember)

In the last 30 days unique visits from North Dakota have made up 4.6% of overall visitors.

People who comment are such a small slice of overall readership as to not be much of a representative sample at all.  But I think it’s safe to say that most of the ND readers are lurkers.

I don’t know. BUT he is really a Brat! So are you! I could name names of all the Brats around here if you want me to...?

Zsa Zsa on October 17, 2007 at 06:50 pm

Rob keeps banning me, but I keep hacking my way back in.

Deal with it!

Ken McCracken on October 17, 2007 at 06:53 pm

Ken, tell the truth. Did you get banned from WILLisms ? I am a little surprised I haven’t been banned from there yet…

Zsa Zsa, you wouldn’t get banned by your own son would you?

Ken, you should put your new blog as your default URL here on SAB.  Not sure if it’d send you more traffic, but it’d be something.

Anna...Ken is not my child. Although I would love to claim him. Will Franklin of WILLisms.com is my very bratty child. Ken had another blog that I used to go to alot awhile ago. That is how I got to know Ken…

Zsa Zsa on October 17, 2007 at 07:28 pm

I’m a full blooded North Dakotan. Grew up in Hannaford (north of Valley City) and now live in Fargo.
