I missed the memo where we agreed to call Brian McLaren “McD.” I thought we were still debating that and MC-EC.
And even though I also missed the memo about changing this blog’s tagline from “the journey continues::the destination persists” to its current incarnation, you have my hearty aye…though I also really like “so sacred, so sexy.”
there are no memos. I rule by executive fiat, and only seek input if it agrees with my predetermined opinions.
I missed that memo, too.
Hilarious…and I infinitely prefer the new tagline.
Whew… I was wondering what my opinion was…
And I’m not so sure about being a poking implement.
It’s a poke or be poked world, Stickie.
Well, up in these parts Brian is known as B-Mac…maybe I should consult him on this as my pastor…but I do wonder what “stick” represents. Is there a broader, deeper meaning to “sticks”???

While I am most certainly unqualified to pontificate the meaning of “Stick” as a moniker, I am definitely relieved to know that Mike rules by executive fiat. As a life long holder of deterministic paradigms, it’s comforting to know that I never really had a choice. I’m bound to thank you, Mike.
Oh crap …. B Mac is Jeremy’s pastor? please, oh please don’t go looking through the cartoon archive.
Now that I reread it, McD makes no sense whatsoever. I’m changing it.
Why is no one listening to me?? (Oh, the executive fiat. I forgot.) MC-EC is HILARIOUS. Even Fresh MC-EC or Fresh EC or something - but you really gotta have EC in there. Where do I sign up for the coup?
BTW, Jeremy - I don’t know Stick personally, but I bet he’s a drummer.
Stick is Brian Steckler, the guy who produced George Rowe’s record. But that’s not why he’s famous. He’s famous because he’s “Er” of the Bud - weis - er frogs. No joke.
so you are poking things with the bud-wies-er frogs?!? PETA!!! PETA!!! come hither!!
Anyway, yes B-Mac is my pastor and I have seen all of your cartoons…funny stuff :)
enjoy your day folks!

ash, i just reread your comment: “As a life long holder of deterministic paradigms, it’s comforting to know that I never really had a choice. I’m bound to thank you, Mike.” You win the philosophical nerd joke of the day award.
Yeah, um, I was just gonna let that one slide by, since I had no bloody idea what he meant (my fault for not listening better in my one philosophy class in college). Now I’m going to Webster.com to figure it all out. Ash, it worries me that Aly and now YOU have regularly begun to send me scurrying to that site in order to fully appreciate what you’re saying (well, Aly has since we met). I’m woefully rethinking my own paradigms vis a vis how big my vocabulary really IS. Size matters, you know? Cerise
Sheesh, sorry to bring an old one to life, but I just realized I’ve been discussed without knowing it.
“Stick” developed in Jr High when a buddy would refer to me as “Stick-in-the-mud”. And people often confuse Steckler with stickler. Well, and I’m tallish and skinnyish. Later in life I like the fact that a decent golfer can be refered to as a “Stick”, as in “That dude is a good stick”. Sticks in this case, refering to golf clubs.
Wow. Ya think you know someone, and then…
13 years and I never knew about the origin of “Stick.”
Hi Brian…I’m June. Your wife.
