All Day, Every Day: Ask Us Anything!
After long conversations with the inventor of Formspring, we've entered into a great partnership, as a way to take The Awl next level; a series of verticals, organized in question-based forums, are forthcoming later today. As a way to kick this initiative off, today The Awl will be entirely run by way of Awl publisher David Cho's Formspring. Ask him anything! (N.B. That picture is REALLY not our David Cho. That is the conductor David Cho, or something. While he is very nice too, our David Cho is a very handsome young lad!)
Are you nuts?
But I'm afeared of change.
Blink twice if you are in immediate danger–
I for one like the socratic approach. And the vertical organization, like CompuServ? Brilliant!
I have $14.12 in my desk drawer. How many shares of TheAwl.com will that buy me?
All of them.
Sounds a bit tricky. Always worried when I don't what the hell you're talking about.
Or 'know' even.
Before I get down to the questions I really want to ask:
Is this just some kind of sick April Fool's joke?
Is that Cho's prom picture?
Is that Cho's real hair color?
RIP Mariah Carey!
Well played. But seriously, you should do this one day. Only with Cat instead of Cho.
Is petting okay on the first date? (neigh)
Is every story posted here today going to tease me?
Did Jeebus really have to die for our sins?
Just yours.
You guys should totally do the forum thing so can we post anime all day.
The Sportswriter is obviously patterned on The Divine Comedy, and yet I have never read any mention or discussion of this in reviews of the book, not even in Elizabeth Hardwick's meditations on Richard Ford's (alleged) ouevre in NYRB. Why is this?
If The Awl was veal, how much would it be worth?
what's a vertical?
and will it hurt?
how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
You guys should organize a series of horizontals. Anytime is the right time for nap time.
Also: I know a David Cho who was responsible for wrecking a friend's Martin ukulele by beating on it as a percussion instrument while tripping balls. Thereafter, "to Cho" became a verb for irresponsibly destroying expensive property while tripping balls.
