Things just got a little more Reluctanter

posted by Anton Strout at 12:24 AM

Big news in the League clubhouse, and no, Jackie's rash has not cleared up, thanks for asking!

Apparently, Mark and I aren't enough man for the insatiable appetites of our demonic vixens in the LRA, so at their salacious request, we began searching far and wide for a suitable candidate, or manidate if you will...

Neil Gaiman wouldn't return our calls. Robert Asprin, sadly, is dead. China Mieville sent us a cease and desist letter. So we kept on digging... digging, perhaps, past the bottom of the barrel.

It gives me some reluctance and zero joy to announce the newest member of the League, food pornographer and blood sucking enthusiast Mr. Jeremy Lewis. You may remember him from our interview a few weeks ago to help pimp his book Staked. Had we known it would turn into such a mess as this, I would have disbanded the League immediately. Yet apparently, we're stuck with him... for now. For those of you more generous in spirit that I, feel free to welcome him in your warmest League fashion (which for many of you is peeing on him, I know).

I don't pretend to read the type of vampiric tripe the likes of him are responsible for, and honestly he's only here to fill a quota so the LRA can continue to receive funding from the Anne Rice Foundation for Lesserer Fangbangers. Still, he has helped bring all our writing productivity to a halt with discussions of Jelly Babies, Spamcicles, battery-powered toys, machetes, and food porn... on second thought, I welcome him with open arms!

You should too. Show the man some love. You know the kind... the kind that's illegal to do across state lines. Please help us welcome Jeremy! Let the long and spanking paddled hazing begin! League minion,s attack!

(and a wee bit of thanks to Mark for all the trouble it is to add this new fellow to all our banners and pages here)

Don't mind Anton. He's just mad he now has competition for Mark's affections.

Jeremy? But that's three syllables! You wouldn't keep that name in Oz ;-) Any objections to being called Jez, or perhaps Jezza?

Have a lovely day! :-)

June 30, 2008 8:34 AM  

Mark will be mine... oh yes, he will be mine...

Don't mind Tez, Jeremy. She fancies herself a reviewer...

June 30, 2008 8:51 AM  

Anton: And here I thought you were just going to leave it as "Tez fancies herself". Not until I get a fun foreign accent ;-)

Have a lovely day! :-)

Talk about a crowded house. I thought the girls were all kajagoogoo for the boys but then - Wham! the hopeless romantics show their true colors. This warrents a stern look at the soft cell slinking in here. (How's that for beating you over the head with Easter Eggs?)

Congrats, Jeremy. They seem like a fine group, even if there's rumors about them eating their young.

Pike-
So you've heard that we're fine young cannibals, eh?

I warned Jackie about that careless whisper of hers..she's a maniac,MANIAC!

Touche

Tez,

Okay, but only if I can call you T-zizzle. ;)

Jeez, you guys start tossing out musical Easter Eggs and I get "Springtime for Hitler" stuck in my head.

I'm not sure how that worked, but I'm realitvely certain it's all part of Anton's evil plot to keep me away from Mark.

Okay, so it probably has more to do with me watching THE PRODUCERS for the first time, but still...

Ooooh! A bitch fight for Mark! *Pulls up chair and hauls out popcorn*

June 30, 2008 9:48 AM  

This is all very flattering. I'd blush if I weren't dead inside.

Won't someone buy me a drink?

*bats eyes*

Run man ruuuuuunnn!!!

Ahem...

Welcome... :) We needed more man mea...umm...writers...writers!

June 30, 2008 11:49 AM  

Welcome to the LRA!

June 30, 2008 11:55 AM  

It's posts like this that keep me coming back. LOL

BTW, I never pee on bloggers. Not anymore. Last time ruined a perfectly good keyboard. Lucky to still be alive.

Fresh fish! Fresh fish!

(Not sure if my previous comment posted or not, due to computer issues...but really, you can't have enough Shawshank references.)

June 30, 2008 1:40 PM  

Jeremy...You sure you want to play with these guys?

Welcome to the void of reluctance and zombies!

Amber: It's great fun here at the League. True, you *do* have to be a little leery of the Kool-Aid, but the raccoon traps are usually in plain sight and they're using the humane ones now, so no more severed limbs when making a late night trip to the bathroom.

:)

June 30, 2008 2:57 PM  

Heheheeheeeeeeee...hasn't seen the bear traps!

LLLOOOLLL!

Hi Jeremy! :) More testosterone? Not a bad thing...I mean Anton IS lacking. haha

June 30, 2008 5:10 PM  

Hey! That's a vitamin deficiency! They told me I need more Vitamin F or a hot beef injection!

June 30, 2008 7:16 PM  

Eeeeyuuuu! *running from the computer to grab a cheesegrater to "remove" the imagery from his brain*

June 30, 2008 8:23 PM  

tmi?

June 30, 2008 9:00 PM  

Testicular Molluscum Inflamtion? How the hell did you know?

June 30, 2008 10:29 PM  

Dude, you can see it from Google Earth!

June 30, 2008 10:39 PM  

Welcome Jeremy!! All you need to make Mark and Anton happy are a brazilian wax and a case of Cuervo - they will follow you anywhere! Good times, Good times.

June 30, 2008 11:08 PM  

and none of that Man-o-lantern waxing either!

June 30, 2008 11:11 PM  

You know you want a happy grin staring back at you!! lol!

June 30, 2008 11:23 PM  

Welcome Jeremy! Stay clear of Mark, he's quite dangerous..second only to Anton. Just remember keep moving and you'll be fine!

June 30, 2008 11:33 PM  

Great to have you here on a regular basis, Jeremy.

I finished your book Sunday, but Blogger is not playing nice today to let me post my thoughts on it. Loved it!

Psynde: Now I have the "Just Keeping Swimming" song from Finding Nemo - The Musical going through my head. I guess it's better than the Nazi song though, so thank you.

Daelith: Glad you enjoyed the book! :)
