Pre-Game Show

If you’ll forgive some end-of-week plugola, as you might have noticed from various promotional graphics around the page, I’ll be on C-Span2′s Book TV this Sunday just ahead of the Superbowl from 12 noon Eastern for a full three hours talking about my oeuvre, and taking viewers’ questions thereupon. Oeuvre-wise, I’m flattered they think mine will stretch to a full three hours, but, if it doesn’t, I’m happy to do wardrobe malfunctions by request.

Mark,

"wardrobe malfunctions" ..... hee-hee, you've hit upon maybe the only instance in which I prefer Janet Jackson to yourself.

I recommend you strip while singing "A Marshmallow World".

Second. Only I'm not being facetious. :)

"Areolagate: The Sequel." You've seen the original, now see the shocking, unshaved follow-up.

My favorite writer (often for content but always for craftsmanship) finally slipped a bit. 'Thereupon' usually usually indicates an action or event immediately following and usually a consequence of a precipitating event. Example "He opened the envelope and found the tax refund cheque and thereupon phoned his lady to invite her out for dinner". Mark should have used 'thereon' i.e..."taking viewers' questions thereon"

Any chance you'll be wearing the cat suit?

"I’m happy to do wardrobe malfunctions by request."

Consider this my request.

;-D

[Sorry, Mrs. Steyn. Couldn't help myself. But you should already understand that, right? ;-D]

I guess I shouldn't ask who Mr. Steyn would be rooting for that day? If he watches American football, and given where he lives, I'll take a wild guess that he's a Patriots fan. Eh, nobody's perfect, not even our Mr. Steyn.

GO GIANTS!!!

:-P

Sorry, gentlemen commenters, but I would much prefer to see the dashing Mark Steyn's wardrobe malfunction rather than Janet Jackson's.

And now please excuse me while I retire to my fainting couch, as I feel the vapors coming on.

Am watching now and could listen to Mr. Steyn at length anytime. This is a pre-game treat!

Even missing my beloved Bruins to listen to the reality of our national decline.

Go Pats!!!
