The sincerest form of WTF

By September 18, 2009No Comments

Setting a new and alarm­ing paradigm for hav­ing too much time on one’s hands, some clod has decided, in the tra­di­tion of Fake Armond White, to do an imper­son­a­tion of me on Twitter. Therein are moments of amuse­ment and, I’m loath to admit, accuracy—this per­son has a dis­turb­ingly firm handle on my real-life rage—but the thread is really not all it could be, I must say. For one thing, any­one who has truly stud­ied my work knows I’m far more a Nabokov man than a Hemingway one.

I could com­plain about the fat jokes, but the sad fact is that I’ve earned them. One more reas­on to be more dili­gent about hit­ting the gym, I suppose.

    And that’s why I love you so, nnnn.

    It appears that both links go to the fake Armond White, though I’ve heard else­where that the fake you was taken down already.

  • Glenn Kenny says:

    Link fixed, although for the life of me I don’t know why. The fake me did­n’t come down, only changed names. Goddamn jagoff actu­ally com­pelled me to do some­thing I said I’d nev­er do, and start my own Twitter account, as theglennkenny.
    My William Wilson seems to have an even big­ger prob­lem with my weight than I do, and should prob­ably remem­ber that even Totie Fields expan­ded her top­ics every now and again. Also, I prefer those new-fangled “Popped Chips” to Pringle’s. How about a little research?

  • Earthworm Jim says:

    Ok, so he knows your top­ic­al con­cerns, but this guy totally fails to cap­ture your STYLE. You would nev­er be so sloppy or incon­sist­ent w/r/t punc­tu­ation and gram­mar, even with a 140-character restriction.
    Glad to see you’re on there for realz, though!

    I must say, that does­n’t seem all that accur­ate to me. You may be an angry guy on occa­sion, but not about the things this guy targets.

  • Dan says:

    Oh, Glen. Don’t you know? Twitter loves you. Twitter wants to be with you. Always.

  • Ray says:

    I did kind of like the “Sasha Grey Poupon” joke …

  • Glenn Kenny says:

    I like that joke too, but it’s a bit of a “gimme,” as it were. Takes no actu­al tal­ent to make it, only an eye for the opportunity.
