A Dose of Wisdom

It occurred to me that this blog may be a bit biased toward my point of view. So, in this entry I will attempt to rectify that by presenting a glimpse of the pregnancy from Ryan's perspective. I say "glimpse" because noone can fully capture and/or understand the depths of Ryan, and I say "attempt" because booking and completing an interview with Ryan Sherman (hereafter referred to as "subject"), one of Winsted's most notorious recluses, is anything but a simple task. I called in many favors and shook many hands in Winsted's seedy underbelly to secure this interview. Please appreciate this for what it is: A historically poignant piece of journalistic genius.

Wednesday, Dec. 6th, 7:48pm.

Q: You're going to have a little sister, how do you feel about that?
A: Good!

Q: What is your toy-sharing policy with regard to siblings?
A: (no comment)

Q: Let me rephrase the question: Will you share your toys with her?
A: (compliant head nod)

Q: Who's a better Superhero: Spiderman or Superman?
A: Spiderman. Where's my mask? hmmm, maybe hiding.

Q: What should we name her?
A: Baby / Baby Ryan / Baby Sister
(This question garnered some of the more introspective moments of the interview so it was asked multiple times to allow the subject to fully explore his feelings on the topic. This is a perfect example of why I went into Journalism.)

Q: Is Daddy Curt cool?
A: Yeah.

Q: Are you going to help Momma & Daddy Curt take care of your little sister?
A: Yeah. Show her Superman. My mask.

Q: You're crazy.*
A: You're crazy! You eat spiders 'n worms 'n dirty awnerwear (underwear)!

Q: How do you feel about the recent remarks Secretary of the UN, Koffi Annan, made regarding the timing, degree and efficacy of US military intervention in Iraq; specifically comment on whether his attitude, adopted by several of it's delegates, compromised the UN's ability to play anything but a subversive role in the Middle East during Secretary Annan's tenure from the United States' perspective.
A: (Subject points at chocolate milk) See? It's not up (full). Buy chocolate milk.

At exactly 7: 53 pm, the subject grew weary of the interview and left. Despite it's brevity, this interview is actually one of the longest single topic conversations the subject has held, excluding those revolving around Spiderman, the snake that lived in our backyard last summer, or his "guys".

* - this statement has purportedly stoked our subject's temper in past interviews. It was asked as a shameless ploy to boost the interviewer's credentials and the blog's advertising price point.

Belly pics coming soon.

Stay classy, people.
