OH! I've been hearing about this guy (and intermittently impressed) but I didn't know he was the PC in the Apple ads. I guess this is where I go into one of the periods between being impressed.
And now I'm back out of that period having watched the pretty funny oath. posted by DU at 9:18 AM on June 19, 2007
I'm on jury duty myself now, stuck on a two-week trial. Nearly every day at lunch, Phil Spector and his defense team hang out on our floor. His bodyguards have got to be nearly a yard in diameter.

Oh geez. Is that the Hodgman Signal I see up in the sky? Did someone light it up again? posted by miss lynnster at 9:42 AM on June 19, 2007
Hey tkchrist, as long as you're in here, scroll down on the Hodgman link for some MMA commentary. posted by vito90 at 9:43 AM on June 19, 2007
His intermittent capslock use is MORE THAN A LITTLE ANNOYING. posted by look busy at 9:55 AM on June 19, 2007
It's [uuunnggh!] COMIC BOOK STYLE, my friend. You've got to [gasp] EMPHASIZE certain WORDS in an HEROIC FASHION. posted by Mister_A at 10:05 AM on June 19, 2007 [1 favorite]
I read a little further down the page, and came across this:
"If you go there and meet Steven, please have a Blizzard on me. Send me the receipt care of the PO Box in my book--be sure to have Steven sign it--and I will reimburse you."
I am so totally making a trip to Bozeman just so I can say John Hodgman bought me a Blizzard. posted by mr_crash_davis at 10:22 AM on June 19, 2007
I guess that should be BOUGHT ME A BLIZZARD. posted by mr_crash_davis at 10:23 AM on June 19, 2007
Wow, he's already done a bunch of updates, including a link to a hobo murder. WTF Philly? posted by exogenous at 12:05 PM on June 19, 2007
Shoot. I meant HODGMANIA. Though I do love bacon. posted by YoungAmerican at 1:02 PM on June 19, 2007
Not funny. posted by MapGuy at 2:47 PM on June 19, 2007
You dropped your funnybone back there a parsec or two, MapGuy. I suggest you go pick it up.
When Hodgman said "polio" I damn near fell outta my chair. This shit is funny. Next time I find myself in a bookstore, I'll get my Hodgmania freak on. posted by ZachsMind at 3:13 PM on June 19, 2007
...but to be honest I'm mildly disappointed. I'd misread the link when I first clicked on it and was expecting to find out what Joel Hodgson has been up to lately. Does anyone know what he's been up to? I hope he's not turned into a hobo. posted by ZachsMind at 3:18 PM on June 19, 2007
I'd like for the record to show that I personally coined the term "Hodgmania" many moons past. I demand a cut of your Apple royalties, my friend. posted by tristeza at 3:50 PM on June 19, 2007
Oh, he is the guy who plays the PC, my bad, it must have been a case of dissociative hatred. posted by MapGuy at 4:28 PM on June 19, 2007
YoungAmerican, your podcast is great! posted by danb at 5:42 PM on June 19, 2007
Hodgman, if you read this, I'm the guy who recently waived emphatically at you as if we knew each other. You were holding the hand of a little ballerina and crossing the street as I drove through the intersection. Sometimes I forget that I don't really know the famous people I know, and they especially don't know me (although Ed Helms swears he knows me from somewhere), and I know that sometimes it scares them. so I apologize. posted by mds35 at 5:46 PM on June 19, 2007 [1 favorite]
