Social Studies project: interview someone of foreign heritage

INTERVIEWER: OK, tell me what it's like to be Indian.
SUBJECT: Uh--well really, it's no different from being anyone else, I don't think. I mean, everyone's real nice to our family. We haven't seen any racism or anything like that.
I: Do you ever really miss your home culture?
S: Uh, no, not really. I mean, my family, my grandparents especially are a kind of link to--uh, our past. So--yeah, it's not something I think about a lot.
I: What are some of your customs?
S: Well, really, we're pretty much Americans now. A few generations will do that to you, but, uh, sometimes we still celebrate old Mohegan holidays, like the harvest and such.
I: Uh--Mohe--OK. Um--so--when did you--uh--move to America?
S: Well, uh, I was born in America.
[shuffling of papers, nervous coughing]
I: Oh. Uh, well when did--your family move here.
S: Well, uh, we didn't move here. We're Native Americans.
I: Uh--uh huh. Well--did you find--uh--Thank you.
S: Sure.

So here's one I get a lot. Waah! You don't update your site enough! Waah! WAAH!

Well you know what? It's not easy being one of the premier* humor* bloggers* in America.

[* - I am not actually any of these things]

Sadly, the Burlingtonian Blog Revolution of Autumn 2004 died as quickly as it began. Luckily, there is a new generation of folks to pick up my slack in between my dumb updates about college basketball or bad ideas in my notebook (yesterday's: "Car w/ prescription windshield: bifocals?") or long-ass things no one bothers reading.

If you're looking for the kind of thing that says "I'm going somewhere in this world and I know it, even if it takes a little scabbing here or there," then check out Jeff Greco. Professional all the way; basically the antithesis of this place. And he doesn't even like basketball! Too many "penalties," I guess.

If hookers and hurricane jokes sound like your idea of a good time, then Ben Simpson is the blogger for you (feel free to use that in your press clippings, Ben). Sure, he's only made three posts in as many days, but he's already well on the road to making himself unemployable to any company who finds his site. Now that's dedication!

And then if you want to have that "What the fuck did I just read" feeling, but in a good way, perhaps the squirrel-woman hybrids and grown men eating naught but sugar who populate the site of Greg White will tickle your fancy. Mr. White also boasts more corpses than any other page on the web short of iraqbodycount.net (too soon?).

If there are any others, tell me and I'll post them.
