I believe this was initially linked on Marc Popham's website and/or profile, I loved McSweeney's and was out of date personally and so clicked it (this was some time ago) and ever since it has become one of my favorite pieces of creative writing ever. Diya recently had a post about Iceland and this made me remember it. So have fun.
An Open Letter of Apology to the Country of Iceland
Spork.
PS - Updates will be back soon, because I will be back in school and will have every need to procrastinate.
So be ready to rawk.
dude, the title "totally audacious bibacity" has been in effect for a while. simply put, it is stale. kind of like an old cheez-it. for this reason, i propose that the site be updated to incorporate more poetic devices while still maintaining the same message. freshen this bitch up a bit. in essence, the aesthetics of thespork.com should be improved while not compromising the overall message of the site. i, as a hugh grant admirer, feel that is qualification enough to propose a solution to the problem of this flower of a website that was once blooming and whose death is now imminent as a result of its unofficial title. instead of allowing the "totally audacious bibacity" to gasp its last breath, i say the community of the thespork.com should lobby the administrator. send mail, emails, or phone calls, or anything else asking him to change the title. now, as one who chooses to always focus not on the problem but on a solution, i don't want to leave you knowing that this ship is sinking without throwing you a life vest or a rope or a raft or something. actually i'm not strong enough to throw a raft but we can't all be ripped. anyway, i propose that the new title of this site be "jlew2727 (12:59:32 AM): despite being in college, i havent seen a pair of breasts in a long time." just joking. and he didn't say that. i haven't actually talked to him for like a week. anyway, i seriously propose that it be "boundless ballsy braskyesque bacchanalia." that alliteration is simply unrivaled in the western world. it's boundless. it's ballsy. it's braskyesque (see bill brasky skits from snl). and most importantly, straight from my boy charles dickens, it's bacchanalia. lobby the administrator while there's still something to administrate. i beg only this of you.

in the cumulative and encompassing sense of the word summary, I will proclaim the following from the goodness of my god fearing heart; and do not take my diction lightly, as I mean to profess myself with the greatest level of good-natured sincerity and free-love for all ... tyler, you are fucked up
