Talk:McCullagh Interview with Casey and Marty Stewart

From CaseyPedia

Transcribed because it was just too darn juicy. Ugh that took longer than I thought it would... off to looser W-2 job soon. Please proof and edit!! -- NotAnOptimist 13:51, 13 June 2007 (CEST)

Wow! Extra-strong wheatgrass shot for you, my man! (And yes, it always takes that little bit longer than you think, doesn't it?) Miguel 14:10, 13 June 2007 (CEST)

Just gotta throw some props for that effort -- Thanks NAO!-- Soemdood 14:18, 13 June 2007 (CEST)

Hilarious transcript, NotAnOptimist! I particularly like the material in parantheses like (grinding his teeth and sounding agonized) I wouldn't say that's true. (gasps, wheezes for breath) Imagine... (tries to talk through his rage) What if... (groans) They have all these spin-offs... (grasping for his own spin) what does that tell you about the main site?--Akubi 19:13, 13 June 2007 (CEST)

I like SOME of the parenthetical material, but too much of it patronizes the reader, so I've removed anything that's based on guesswork and speculation. I've also removed the more hand-holding stuff - if you can't recognize veiled sarcasm without having it pointed out to you, you shouldn't be reading CaseyPedia in the first place. BRILLIANT transcript otherwise, though. Miguel 09:58, 16 June 2007 (CEST)

Miguel, I can understand your perspective, but I did think it sounded as though Casey was grinding his teeth and sounding agonized... User:Akubi

I'm with Miguel here -- we can editorialize in comments upon the interview, but the transcript itself should simply report what was said. --Lawnmower man 09:09, 17 June 2007 (CEST)

Totally reasonable. I thought some of it was a bit too much myself, but at the time, I was just so darn frustrated at Casey that I couldn't help but write in my commentary. Thanks everyone for all the props! -- NotAnOptimist 10:06, 18 June 2007 (CEST)
