Introducing to NotGraphs: Mississippi Matt Smith
March 1, 2012
Please note, for your records, that Mississippi Matt Smith is the newest contributor to NotGraphs and submitted his first, uh, submission to our electronic pages earlier today.
Note, additionally, that he has asked me repeatedly and with vigor not to refer to him publicly as Mississippi Matt Smith.
Note, thirdly, that I have not only ignored his protests, but have, in fact, furtively changed his display name to Mississippi Matt Smith.
In conclusion, here’s a frightening Eudora Welty-shaped mask:
Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
I like “Mississippi Matt Smith”. I am officially requesting such naming conventions be applied to all writers. Also, please have everyone use a psuedonym to match The Common Man, include the middle initial to match Robert J. Bauman, AND the full middle name (or maybe it’s two first names) to match Summer Anne Burton.
